Focusing didn't defeat my faith, but for the first time I really understood what I was asking for

From the beginning of the children singing Christmas Eve songs, they cover their faces and weep until the end of the film. I am a catholic. I don't know if I will go back to church. I don't know if this film will be released in China, I don't know if there is such a thing in the church in China, and I don't know if there are victims in China... What does this series of questions mean? ! It means that if we are just ordinary people, we are all heartbroken, and we are all afraid and sad. However, for those victims, it is one after another of hopeless despair, no one will help them, no one will save them, no one will pay attention to them... They are deep in the cold and muddy abyss where the sun cannot be seen, raising their heads to look up. , are the occasional passers-by, their cries are not heard...they will misunderstand that God has abandoned them...because the people who hurt them are all in the name of God...crippled by faith...but no, it's not God's fault... It was the fault of every passerby we passed by. It is the duty of justice! so worried. Really worried. Can I still look to the light? Huge light always casts long shadows. Because there are humans blocking the light... This is the moment when I think faith is the most meaningful! It's not singing in the Bible, not praying for what I get... The focus awakens my attachment to the original hope of the faith. But a prayer from the heart. Please God listen to us and save all the suffering children! This is my most sincere prayer! I would like to kneel in front of the cross every day and pray... I have only one wish in this life... Save all those who are suffering! May the Lord hear us. Amen.

Originally, choosing a famous investigative feature is a bonanza for film directors. The clear logic, detailed figures, vivid characters, and appropriate rhythm in the report are all about drawing a storyboard script directly for the screenwriter. However, this film is not based on the report of the "Boston Globe", but re-edited the work of the "Focus" investigation team in the nearly one year before the release of the blockbuster report. The rhythm is very enjoyable, hardly a breath

The group portrait industry drama (the Hulk acting is really good!), a very solid non-fictional investigative writing textbook, is too logical and straightforward. But this kind of theme has not been made into a three-act drama with dog-blood vulgarity. In short, the opponent always exerts force in an invisible place (I also expect the newspaper to have a ghost... In fact, the villain is not only the church but also ignores and prejudices) , So writing like this is good in itself, but it seems a bit boring.

Sacha Pfeiffer: Does Jack Dunn work for the school?
Walter 'Robby' Robinson: No, he's PR for Boston College. They call him when they need help.
Sacha Pfeiffer: And Pete Conley, why-why was he there?
Walter 'Robby' Robinson: Good question. Pete's a big alum. But I called Bill directly and I asked for a sit-down. I never mentioned anybody else.
Sacha Pfeiffer: It's like everybody already knows the story.
Walter 'Robby' Robinson: [indicating the Globe building across the street] Yeah. Except us. And we work right there.

Jack Dunn: I graduated in 1979, and I had no idea about any of this. So if you're suggesting that Father Gibbons and Father Callahan had in any way...
Walter 'Robby' Robinson: Gibbons and Callahan. I mean, they ran this place like the Navy. You really think they didn't know?
Jack Dunn: It's a big school, Robby. You know that. A-And we're talking about seven alleged victims over, what, eight years?
Walter 'Robby' Robinson: No, we're talking about, you know, seven that we know about.
Jack Dunn: This is ridiculous. You're reaching for a story here.
Principal Bill Kemeza: Jack. Jack, Jack. If I had been president then, I would've known.
Jack Dunn: Bill, I'm not sure that's relevant.
Principal Bill Kemeza: Why do you think they sent Talbot up to Cheverus? You know they wanted him out of town.
Pete Conley: Robby, as well-intentioned as Bill's remarks are, I'm hoping we can keep this between us until we all get on the same page.
Walter 'Robby' Robinson: Is that why we're here, to get on the same page?
