Due to the routine maintenance of the "Gadot" in Los Angeles, Murphy and Gal Gadot had to take a flight back to Los Angeles, but fortunately, the conditions of the first class of the plane were also good, which could ensure sufficient comfort. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Robert Downey Jr. and James Franco and others continue to stay at the Toronto Film Festival to build momentum for the film "Spotlight", and these stars in front of the stage, coupled with the film's good reputation and natural topicality, can also continue to attract the attention of the media and fans.

"The message from CAA ......"

There were very few people in the first class, and Gal Gadot sat next to Murphy in the seats, and she kept talking about the film and the Catholic side, "The Vatican side has held several cardinal archbishops on this film. ”

Gal Gadot has always been in charge of these chores, and when Murphy heard this, he couldn't help but ask, "Are they discussing coping strategies?" ”

"It's not!" Gal Gadot shook his head directly, "The European branch of the CAA has vaguely received a little bit of news about the meeting, and the Vatican side is discussing who is most responsible for the series of scandals that broke out in the Catholic Church since last year. ”

Murphy immediately understood, "This is someone who wants to take advantage of the situation." ”

Where there are people, there are strife, and churches are no exception, and it is not uncommon for major churches to split due to infighting in history.

Gal Gadot got the news that he was not very sure, "Probably, it is said that a group of people led by Cardinal Francis are not the same faction as Pope Benedict XVI, and they want to seize ......"

She shrugged her shoulders and didn't continue, but Murphy could understand.

"Faith!" Murphy sighed.

Gal Gadot continued, "Faith is not the worship of a god in form, not loyalty to a church in deeds, but the truth, goodness, and beauty that comes from the heart, which is the essence of faith!" ”

Before falling in love with Murphy, Gal Gadot was also a believer, but he believed in Judaism, and later, under the influence of Murphy, although he still bears the name of a Jewish, he has actually long since broken away from this faith.

"If you understand the nature of faith, people in the know will not think that exposing the scandal in the church is a provocation to the faith, on the contrary, it is an insistence on the faith." ”

"It's a pity......" Murphy shook his head, "I can't be true, good, and beautiful in my heart." ”

"So, you're a man of no faith." Gal Gadot said helplessly, "It also affected me, and I was about to become a person without faith." ”

Murphy couldn't help laughing, Gal Gadot just said that there was indeed some truth, if he understood the nature of faith, that Bishop Lao would not think that attacking the people investigating the scandal in the name of the Bible quotations and the Lord was a defense of the faith, on the contrary, it was a blasphemy of the faith; As for the clergy involved, they are a group of people who have nothing to do with the faith, and at the moment of desecration of children, they have already betrayed the faith, although they are still dressed in the cloak of priests, they can still memorize the Bible backwards, and they still worship God fanatically, but to no avail.

The collective distortion of the perception of faith has invisibly constructed a system that breeds and condones crime, from priests to bishops, from lawyers to police, no one is exempt from accountability, and this is the real reason why the scandal has not been revealed for a long time.

Due to the distortion of the perception of faith, the church has lost the ability to correct itself, and must rely on external forces to correct it, that is, a group of people who are considered to have no "faith" to help a group of people who claim to have "faith" to return to the right path, and it is clear who is the real guardian of faith.

And the victims of this scandal are not a group with distorted beliefs and cognitions? Is it a sign of respect for faith that they were sexually assaulted by priests so easily because of the overtrust of their clergy, and the mother of one of the victims, even brought a cake to the pastor who sexually assaulted her own son? This is foolishness!

Faith is a moral consensus, and the church is only a human organization in the name of worshipping God, it cannot replace faith, in fact, there is a difference of 108,000 miles, so whether a person has faith or not cannot be judged by whether he joins the church or not! The whole society reacted so violently to the moral turpitude of the clergy, and in the final analysis, it was also a deviation in the perception of faith! Most people easily see them as benchmarks of faith.

When faith becomes a profession, a collection of interests, there will be anything dirty in it, and the purpose of covering it up is to protect interests, have you ever heard of the theory that Buddhists do not attack each other, the reason is similar, it is to maintain the image of the religious belief in front of outsiders, so as to attract more people to worship, and naturally encounter scandals to cover up.

In this era, not only in the adult world, nothing is easy, even the lives of children are not easy......

Murphy is also a relatively open kind of person, as long as these don't fall on his head, he doesn't bother to care, after all, he has limited energy, and he is not a saint in the past.

To be more precise, his former life has made him insensitive in some ways.

Even because of his profession, whether it is now or in the past, Murphy does not like media reporters very much, but he also knows very well that many ugly truths that are tightly packaged, tried to cover up desperately, and make people can't bear to look at them directly, must rely on media platforms that dare to break free from the oppression and restrictions of the system, and report a fair, truthful, and serious attitude to fully expose them, so that the people who are kept in the dark can recognize the facts and see a glimmer of justice in the undesirable social phenomena and atmospheres full of corruption and deception.

Behind an incident that is ignored and underestimated, there is often a real problem of continuous festering and deterioration and growth, and the rampant and arrogant evil forces will continue to spread and erode, resulting in immeasurable and regrettable tragic results.

"If raising a child depends on the support of the whole village, then destroying a child will not be possible without the whole village." This line, which was present in the original film, was re-applied to the film by Murphy as it was, with a deeper meaning beyond "accusation and exposure", that is, "the evil of the system is higher than the evil of the individual".

Some of these incidents are not just individual crimes committed by a small number of individuals, but many large-scale crimes are the result of the system's cover-up and connivance, such as in a city with a strong Catholic tradition, where everyone is deterred from hearing that they are going to be enemies of the Church.

The Catholic Church has played a huge role in the history of mankind for thousands of years, and even in modern society, the Church still plays an important role in people's lives, providing people with a lot of material and spiritual help.

However, as the church grows stronger, it inevitably wants to assert its authority as its power expands. The Church is also a black sheep to the detriment of the sacred majesty of the organization.

What are the church's choices in the face of these hazards?

In any case, an influential organization should have the courage to assume its share of responsibility.

Unfortunately, few directors have the motivation to bring such an event to the screen, because it is still a thankless job that goes against mainstream viewing trends and political demands.

Now that I think about it, it's happier to live in the world of some news, because the society I live in is always good, and I don't have to worry about those messy things at all.

Back in Los Angeles, Murphy began to run for another upcoming North American awards season, Gal Gadot is ready to start preparing for "Fifty Shades of Gray", Paul Wilson, who has filmed large-scale dramas, has agreed to be the director of this film, and in terms of actress, Jessica Alba is also in talks with Stanton Studios, if there is no problem, she should take on the role of Anna.

Of course, Jessica Alba's skin tone is a bit of a problem, but the character settings under these changes are not a big problem.

Compared with Gal Gadot, who is preparing a new film, Murphy is running around and frequently meeting with some bigwigs in the academy, these so-called bigwigs may not be able to do much now, but they are really old, and their influence is mainly concentrated within the academy.

In other words, they are the ones who can influence some of the Oscar judges.

It is not easy for anyone, even the winner of some technical awards, to win the Oscar for two consecutive years.

Murphy just won his second Oscar for Best Director in March, and if he wants to win next year's Oscars, he must be well prepared.

During this time, he also went to meet Kara Firth to discuss not only the new film, but also some information about "The Dark City".

The film rolled off the production line in North America as early as a month after the Oscars, and the North American box office finally exceeded $740 million in one fell swoop with the halo effect of thirteen Oscar statuettes, and finally reached a total of $746.7 million.

Although it is only more than $15 million away from the North American box office record of "Avatar", with the financial resources of Stanton Studios, it can win this North American box office championship by buying the box office privately in minutes, but Murphy did not do this, for the sake of a North American box office champion, let himself become the laughing stock of the world, this kind of thing only those fools would do.

Overseas screenings lasted longer, and due to the film's Oscar halo and super box office effect, some countries and regions joined the ranks of screenings in the future, and even in theaters in some small African countries, "Dark City" can be seen.

It wasn't until early September that "Dark City" was released in all overseas regions.

"Dark City" also ended all theatrical screenings, and the final global box office did not exceed "Avatar", but the figure of $2.5162 billion is enough to bring Murphy huge benefits!

When Twentieth Century Fox handed over the first $400 million directing tranche, Murphy got the news that His Excellency Archbishop Márquez-Costello was leaving the United States.
