After the press conference, reporters left the palace as quickly as possible, sorted out the materials at hand, and delivered them to their respective newspapers, websites or television stations as soon as possible. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Alberto Esposito, a reporter from the newspaper La Pressita Italia, ran almost all the way to his car, and did not start the car to leave, but instead moved his seat back as much as possible, took out an Apple notebook from the co-pilot's bag, put it on his lap, and turned on the machine to prepare his press release.

The Italian newspaper La Newse has a significant presence in Italy and its environs, but the impact of the Internet and new media has also created an online version that publishes current events as soon as possible.

On the way back, Alberto Esposito had already spoken to the editor-in-chief of the newspaper on the phone, briefly describing the situation of the press conference, and the editor-in-chief asked him to prepare a press release immediately, send it to the newspaper's Internet client, and publish it in the physical newspaper the next day.

In the parking lot near the Palais du Cinema, there were quite a few journalists like Alberto Esposito, and Murphy Stanton's words at the press conference were so shocking that they couldn't wait to get back to the hotel or elsewhere, so they started busy in the car.

Alberto Esposito was not disturbed by the outside world at all, and with his laptop propped up on his legs, his hands fluttering on the keyboard, an article that had already been drafted before gradually appeared on the computer screen.

"Reporting stories like Spotlight is why we chose this industry!"

Just by looking at the title, Alberto Esposito took advantage of the press conference he just attended to praise the work he did and the film Spotlight.

Whether it's the content of the movie that Alberto Esposito saw, or the words that Murphy Stanton said, the two do not conflict in the slightest!

"Renowned director Murphy Stanton's new film "Spotlight" is based on real events, and at the beginning of this century, the "Focus" special report team of the Boston Globe published 70 reports in a row, exposing 90 pastors in the Boston area who were suspected of sexually abusing boys. This set of reports not only won the Pulitzer Prize in the United States the following year, but also promoted the society's attention to the church. The event itself is quite topical, but the rhythm of the film's storytelling style is extremely calm and calm, and the film's reproduction of the work of the reporters of the Boston Globe is as rigorous, rational, restrained, and full of passion as the reporters reported on the events at the beginning. ”

"The charm of serious journalism is that it does not sell opinions, does not sway emotions, and carefully verifies the evidence, and ultimately destroys a system, not defeats an enemy. Correspondingly, the drama of "Focus" is also almost impeccable, such as the victims of the investigation and evidence collection in the film, one is outwardly bent and the other is introverted and straight, the interview levels are different, and the dialogue is real and credible. The contrasting portrayal of the lawyers in the two camps is also concise and vivid, and the sentence 'Why did you go earlier' makes the film not only interrogate the church, but also highlights the principle of self-reflection that the media should have. ”

"In addition to Murphy Stanton's own plays, the cinematography and editing of "Spotlight" are as classic as textbooks, the long shots are calm and steady and do not grab the content, the multi-line narrative is edited brightly, and the performance is especially commendable.

In order to play the reporters in the film, the five main actors and the prototype of the Focus Reporting team have been in close contact to understand their work habits. Of course, we are too accustomed to using the actors' dedicated experience of life as a means of publicity, but the performance itself does not lie. I like one detail of Michael, played by Jonah Hill, when interviewing the victim: sitting across the table, Michael does not put his notebook on the table, but asks questions while quietly recording under the table with both hands, keeping his eyes on the interviewee. This kind of detail can only be understood by a journalist, and the in-person record is more like a court trial, and the interviewee is easily offended and easily distracted. ”

"'Spotlight' is the most civilian and professional film, and Murphy Stanton's most clever handling as a director is to present the reporting effect in the second half of the story, almost without mentioning 'winning the Pulitzer Prize', and ending with the reader's hotline, and the busy news person calmly replied as always: 'Hello, this is Focus'. Media journalists are the profession that most needs to consciously keep a distance from the halo in all the 'heroic' attribute industries, and this concise ending is timeless and decent. ”

"Although "Spotlight" is the classic technique of the best film textbook model in terms of content and presentation, I am personally not optimistic about its prospects of winning awards in Venice, director Murphy Stanton is probably a staunch atheist, and the film is merciless in its attack on the church, pointing out that the church is the most filthy organization in the world, and the reverence for religion itself also collapses after watching it. This 'offense' is obviously uncomfortable for theists. ”

"Personally, the story actually uses the church with great power in the secular world as a setting of power control, and "Focus" shows the courage and efforts of ordinary people to challenge authority. In different societies, the appearance of power is another level. The exercise of supervisory responsibility by newspaper people under the premise of full self-reflection is the core value of the media's 'fourth power'. ”

"Try to watch this movie with a calm gaze, but when I hear the lines of 'reporting such a story is the reason why we chose this industry', I am still burned, in the era of 'paper winter', the appearance of "Focus" has a certain tragic color, it faithfully portrays the journalistic ethics and execution model, as if yesterday was a hot ideal, and now it has become a tribute to the golden years."

"It is not because of the emergence of newspapers and television that there are idealistic and responsible journalists, but because of the 'goodwill' itself that has led to idealistic and responsible people to join the traditional media industry, make excellent news reports, and promote social progress. The sense of kindness and justice shared by ordinary people is always worth writing about, and this is probably the meaning of cherishing movies like "Spotlight" and cherishing the "shining days" of newspapers. ”

After writing it, Alberto Esposito checked and proofread it again, then logged on to the back end of the newspaper's web client and uploaded his article, which appeared on the client's most eye-catching news headlines after just two minutes of internal review.

After doing this, leaning on the car seat, Alberto Esposito breathed a sigh of relief, but did not immediately start the car and leave, but took out his mobile phone, logged in to Twitter, and searched casually, Twitter was already full of news about "Spotlight", and many self-media based on Twitter and other social platforms reacted much faster than their traditional media reporters.

Instead of starting the car, Alberto Esposito stared at his phone and flipped through some of the comments on Spotlight.

As an Italian, he is also a Catholic, but because of the industry he is engaged in, while believing in God, he is also wary of God's spokesman in the world.

His wife once accused him of not being religious enough and bringing bad children, but today's film that reflects the facts proves that his vigilance is not wrong, and maybe he has also avoided possible harm to his children in some aspects.

On Twitter, those self-media people who have just watched the premiere are also firmly on the position of "Spotlight" and Murphy Stanton.

"'Focus' belongs to the kind of slow-burning movie, the first 20 minutes will feel bland and even a little boring, but once the audience follows the actors into the film, they will be deeply attracted and begin to feel the huge shock of the plot that peels off the cocoon."

The story told in this film is shocked by the truth, and the director Murphy Stanton did not sensationalize, nor did he lash out at the beast priests and bishops who knew about it. But this restraint has brought a more powerful shock to the film, we know that this is what the reality is, we know that even if the bishop is exposed, there will still be no punishment, but we are infected by this group of journalists, we start to think about the whole religious system, we start to think about this society, and the film is a success. ”

Alberto Esposito nodded and opened another one.

"Murphy Stanton's overly artistic treatment of the film, better control the balance between the actors, and the right grasp of the plot and dialogue, so that this film leads the audience step by step with the laying of clues, tirelessly to the end."

"Thinking back to the whole film, my mind is full of a large number of character dialogues, eyes and busy figures, an extremely real case investigation, no need for a mysterious plot, only the truth needs to be peeled off little by little, the disintegration of each layer of shell, and the exposed core are enough to make the audience more nervous, waiting intently, witnessing the moment when the truth is made public......"

Just like the mainstream media in the United States attacked Catholicism last year, with the premiere of "Spotlight" at the Venice Film Festival, the mainstream media in Europe and even all Western countries are also on Murphy's side.

However, as the director of the film, Murphy left Venice on the night of the premiere, taking actors such as Robert Downey Jr.
