280 unfinished battles

As the movie continues, Keaton's Robbie comes to a restaurant to meet his new boss, who comes across as unsociable and humble, but with great work ability. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Immediately, the new boss took up his post at the newspaper, and at the first meeting, the new boss pointed out the case of the priest molesting the boy. Then he specially called Robbie to the office for face-to-face communication.

Seeing this, the corners of Emma's mouth flashed with a sneer again, "Finally can't bear it anymore?" I know that this director will definitely not change! Looking at his previous films, which one didn't go to great lengths for the box office? ”

However, to Emma's surprise again, there are still no victims in the movie. However, through the dialogue of the focus group members, everyone felt that the case was difficult. All the members of the investigation team, without exception, were under pressure from all sides, from the court, from families, and even the audience sitting in the cinema could empathize with the feeling of living in a society surrounded by believers.

And this made many religious believers feel uncomfortable in their hearts. But they have nothing to argue with, because this is a fact that even the most devout believers have to admit.

The focus groups in the film are getting into action, but instead of going directly to interview the victims, as Emma expected, they start with other things.

One of them, Mike, a reporter played by Ruffalo, interviews Mitch, a lawyer who provides legal aid to many of the child victims, while Robbie and Sasha visit Eric, the church's defense lawyer.

From Eric, Robbie and the others learned that the original assault on a child only needs to pay $20,000 in damages, and even the statute of limitations for such cases is only three years.

With this series of events, the focus group finally began interviewing the victims. However, to Emma's surprise again, the victim was an adult man, and he didn't get into any embarrassing details, let alone so-called memory fragments.

This interview was a normal interview, except that when the victim said that he had sent the evidence he had collected to the Globe five years ago, everyone was stunned. Whether it's the focus group members in the movie or the audience watching the movie.

No one expected that this matter had been revealed a long time ago.

And when the victim said that 13 priests had abused children in the Boston area alone. The members of the focus group were a little unable to sit still, and the audience could feel that they seemed to be a little incredulous, as the audience and even the believers sitting in front of the movie screen at this time. They couldn't believe it.

At this time, Emma has no time to speculate on the direction of the movie, she only wants to know whether what the victim said is true, and how these reporters can continue to track down.

No matter if Emma's mind changes, the movie is still moving forward in an orderly manner. Mike continues to pester lawyer Mitch, and when the other party learns that Mike is a member of Spotlight, he finally relents and agrees to let Mike meet with the victims.

On the other hand, Sasha also made an appointment to meet with one of the victims. This time the victim was also an adult man, and this man was a little different, he was a homosexual.

Here, Sasha finally asked about some of the details of what happened at the beginning, but this paragraph was handled by Chen Xueqian without any sense of darkness, only a heaviness. Emma first sensed the horror of the incident when the man told Sasha that it had completely ruined his life and even distorted his orientation.

On the other hand, Mike is also interviewing a victim who is still vulnerable and helpless when he talks about his past.

At the end, Sasha asked the victim, "Did you tell anyone about it?" ”

The other person replied, "Tell whom?" Priest? ”

It was such a simple sentence, but it really said how helpless and desperate the victim was at that time, and even his once devout faith was shaken.

Seeing this, countless people who initially had a similar mentality to Emma became serious.

Yes, the Boston Globe once made all this public, but you know, the shock of the words and the images are completely incomparable.

At this time, Emma had no time to think about anything else, and she was only shocked at the moment.

However, it turned out that things were much more terrifying, as the members of the investigation team uncovered more and more clues, and one of the psychiatric research experts revealed more information to Mike over the phone.

They then found another clue in the Catholic register of priests, who were usually covered up with an official account of being transferred due to illness.

Then the psychiatric researcher called again, and in the call, he mentioned that the percentage of child molestation crimes was as high as 6%.

This statistic really shook the focus groups so much that they didn't know what to say before the call.

When they informed the person in charge of the news, they began to use the reverse method, starting with the roster, to reverse all the suspected problem priests.

After a series of cuts, they eventually came up with a whopping 87-person list.

When they approached defense lawyer Eric again, the lawyer confronted an aggressive Robbie and told a shocking truth, sending a list of 20 people to the Boston Globe years ago.

Faced with this unexpected answer, Robbie was once again stunned.

The focus group and the two bosses discussed it, and Barron suggested that there must be enough evidence that the church was fully aware of all of this and that it had helped cover it up.

To this end, the focus group once again began to conduct extensive interviews with those involved based on their own lists of victims.

Some of them were interviewed, others were completely agitated and chased away, and the most surprising was a priest who was very natural and confessed that he had molested children, but he said that he had not violated them, and there was a clear difference.

When asked by Sasha how he knew the difference, the priest said: "I have been violated! ”

This answer completely shocked Sasha, but the interview was stopped by the priest's sister.

On the other hand, Globo moved in court to unseal some of the documents, but here they clearly felt the strength of Catholic influence in the court.

However, Mitch gave Mike an extremely important clue at this time, it turned out that there was a document in the court that was made public, which clearly recorded many of the key evidence that Mitch had investigated.

But Mitch tells Mike that the document is not in the courthouse, that he is public, but not in the courthouse, because it has been taken away by the Catholics!

At this moment, everyone thoroughly felt the power of Catholicism, strong enough to interfere with the administration of justice. Can hinder any action that wants to uncover the truth.

Just when everything was going in a good direction and the 911 incident broke out in the United States, all reporters had to shift their attention to this incident.

And this could well mess up all their previous efforts.

They had all kinds of helplessness, but fortunately they survived.

When they got their hands on the public information that had been kept secret by the Church, they knew for sure that the Bishop of the Archdiocese, Law, knew all about it and covered it up.

At this point, Mike wants to report it all, but Robbie disagrees. For this, Mike is furious in the office.

They were deeply confused.

The events continued, various lobbyists appeared, the situation became more and more complicated, and in this case, Robbie found his friend, a lawyer who had handled cases of this type for many priests.

On Christmas Eve, Robbie and the friend talk about it, and they confess to each other that until then, they have remained silent about the matter, and they both have an inescapable responsibility in this matter.

And this point is also mentioned in the following episode, in this case, it is not only the lawyer who chooses to remain silent, not only the society, even the global newspaper that exposed this matter has been such an accomplice.

When Mike sees the two child victims in Mickey's office, he realizes that the matter doesn't end there. It's not even far from over.

At the end of the film, the phone rings non-stop in the office of the Globe focus group, and the message is conveyed to all viewers.

At the end of the film, Chen Xueqian uses subtitles to show everyone the list of priests involved in the case, and makes public the fact that the bishop who once protected all of them has not been affected by this.

The movie, which lasted more than two hours, ended.

And Emma sat in the movie theater but didn't get up for a long time, at this moment her heart was extremely heavy, not only her, but everyone who watched this movie couldn't calm down.

This is a film that exposes sin, this is an almost documentary film, but this film is not the end, and they believe that what Chen Xueqian wants to do is not the end, he uses this film to clearly tell everyone that everyone needs to participate in this matter! (To be continued.) )
