"Hey! Hey ......"

In a studio set up as an office, Jonah Hill saw Robert Downey Jr. walking in from the outside with his pockets in his pocket, put down what he was doing and asked, "How were you talking?" ”

Murphy looked at the footage captured by the camera on the monitor, and as the filming progressed, all the Stanton henchmen were involved in the filming, and because of the preparation done in advance, whether it was Seth Rogan at the beginning, or Robert Downey Jr., Jonah Hill and Margot Robbie who joined later, they were all in the best shape. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Filming has also gone very smoothly, and by the end of January, nearly half of the indoor scenes have been filmed.

Sitting in the director's chair, Murphy was somewhat uneasy, but he still forced himself to focus on his work, not thinking about the nominees luncheon of the 86th Academy Awards, which might be underway.

"Uh......" Robert Downey Jr. cut his hair short, his temples gray, and his forehead slightly bald, a look he had never seen before, "Marty Baron wants us to investigate the case of Father John Georgen. ”

"That's great."

Playing a down-to-earth journalist, Jonah Hill couldn't agree more, "This case is well worth following up." ”

Behind him, Margot Robbie, sitting on top of her chair with one hand propping up her chin, said, "A lawyer claims that Bishop Bernard Rau has known about it for a long time. ”

"By the way, the lawyer's name is Mitch." Margot Robbie holds the pen in her other hand, "I interviewed him at the courthouse. ”

"Can you see him?" Robert Downey Jr. asked.

Margot Robbie thought for a moment, "He's hard to deal with. ”

"I'll leave it to me." Jonah Hill took the task on his own initiative, "I like to deal with tough people the most. ”

Seeing the outstanding performance of several actors, Murphy relaxed a little and leaned back in his chair, each of these guys is now a famous figure, and unlike those who became popular overnight, not to mention Robert Downey Jr. and James Franco and other people who have struggled for many years to break into a great reputation, even if it is the lucky Margot Robbie recognized by the outside world, it is a little bit of accumulation to have today's explosion.

Every member of the Stanton Party, behind the great fame, has the ability to match it.

"Don't let Bishop Bernard Rau know until we find out what's going on." Robert Downey Jr. clasped his hands and calmly admonished, "Be cautious about this." ”

"Then we're going to ask for a lot of blessings." Margot Robbie said.

"Stop!" Murphy shouted from behind the director's monitor, "This one is over!" ”

He turned his head and instructed Michelle Williams, who was the assistant director, "Now the transition is up to you for the time being." ”

"No problem." Michelle Williams has temporarily taken over the job of directing the crew.

Murphy came to the film crew and chatted with Philip Raschel.

"Isn't it a little too bland?" Philip Raschel also offered his opinion, "Catholicism is strong in the Boston area, and those reporters are well aware of what this investigation means......

"This is the scenario that Robbie Robinson and several of his men have jointly described." Murphy shook his head, "There wasn't a lot of excitement or determination at the time, it was just a sense of responsibility that drove them to do it. ”

In this scene, except for a few bland reminders from Robbie Robinson played by Robert Downey Jr., there are no sensational or emphasizing lines and performances that challenge Catholicism, and the reporters in the "Focus" column are mature and sensible, know what they are facing, and there is no need to say much.

In fact, such a plot is more suitable for highlighting the characters.

Whether it is life itself, cultural traditions, or the more complex relationship with power, the Catholic Church is an almost unshakable existence in the entire Boston area, its backbone and delicate ends are closely intertwined with the whole society and even the power system, even if it has broken out countless scandals, but only specific individuals have been punished, and the system has never been suspected.

And now, what the editor-in-chief, Marty Baron, and all the reporters in Focus want to do is to make people see the systemic problem, and they want to tell the public that the reason why there are so many sexual assaults is not the personal vices of one or two pastors, but the inevitable result of the failure of the top to do so, and the whole systemic illness.

But it is far more difficult to achieve this goal than to expose one or two pastors, and it will take waiting for the right time.

As journalists, they will take great pains to get the material, and if it is published early, they will hand over the initiative to the church, so that the other party will adopt the strategy of abandoning the pawn and protecting the commander, and if it is published late, they will lose to the competition among their peers.

Among them, there is the helplessness and entanglement of being a journalist.

It is true that there are many undesirable things in the media, but for this incident, investigative reporting is basically for the protection of the public interest, rather than personal grievances, but the process of interviewing and reporting will inevitably substitute their own emotions and emotions.

When they learn of one scandal after another that has been concealed, and see individuals on the verge of collapse, they themselves will inevitably fall into irritability and anger, but they must always limit themselves to the framework of reason, step by step to pursue and verify, the pain and pleasure in this are difficult for the outside world to understand.

This time, under Murphy's lens, the media and reporters are professionals rather than saints, so in addition to the sense of justice, there is also something called ambition that drives them, and the rewards of that sense of accomplishment are also incomprehensible in other industries.

In terms of calm restraint and relatively plain expression, this kind of subtle emotion that can only be perceived by insiders can be explained accurately.

Viewed from another angle, this is a depressing but combative story, which has become a media elegy in this era, and although people know the need for the media as a counterweight to power, no one can change the reality of the current dissipation of the media halo.

As journalism becomes more and more entertaining and fast-selling, it is difficult for it to form a blocky force anymore, and no one knows how this indispensable fourth power will return to its rightful place.

Even, Murphy thinks, maybe in the near future, when no one wants to read articles longer than the screen of a mobile phone, the audience may even be infinitely less likely to watch a movie with a serious theme.

Of course, how many more media outlets and journalists can be like Spotlight today?

I'm afraid that the most people in this industry are like him and Kara Firth at the beginning, right?

For example, Murphy himself admitted that he made this film without being pure at all, and his purpose was very strong, one was to borrow the current situation, and the other was to show the power of him and his film!

A director, even if he is a super director, seems to be weak and powerless, just a tool to entertain others, but his influence is so great that no one can underestimate him!

The significance of this movie is not at all to rely on a few shots and some criticism to bring down the entire Catholic Church, not to mention how much Americans trust, worship and follow the Catholic Church, even if the Catholic Church is bad to the bone, it is not as terrible as the indulgences and **** back then.

And Murphy is neither stupid nor has a brain in the water, so there is no such wishful thinking at all.

So if you want to point to the darkness of the entire Catholic Church, ten films like "Spotlight" are not enough, but the most powerful thing about this movie is that it explains the true meaning of all the previous scandals about Catholicism.

The reports in the media are not false, let alone slanderous, and even their reports are just the tip of the iceberg!

"Focus" will infinitely amplify this series of reports, break out of the scope of North America, and spread to the world!

This series of actions and plans, just like in the "Inception" that Murphy once watched, wants people to believe one thing, not to tell him directly whether he is right or wrong, to judge right and wrong, or to imply silently, but to implant a small point of view, so that it can take root in people's minds, this is the so-called "inception", which is literally translated as "foundation" in the words of the other side of the Pacific!

These plans developed by Murphy, together with the ongoing actions assisted by Twentieth Century Fox, are, in some ways, a special "groundwork"!

With such a seed used as a "foundation", I believe that there will be many Catholics or pastors who will no longer have God bless my son when they hold their children and tell stories, but will quickly take my son away.

This will inevitably make the Archbishop Márquez-Costello, who is constantly attacking him, very embarrassed, and it is possible to lose his current position, and the Vatican Holy See will also be busy putting out fires everywhere, and I am afraid that I will not have the energy to come to him for trouble for a long time in the future.

Of course, believers all over the world will still be religious, and Catholicism, Christianity, and even the entire God system will still be the largest belief system in the world.

But this small "foundation" would keep the world's media on track, and henceforth the Catholic Church would revert to the same suspicions that it had had been with the Protestant Revolution.

This is also Murphy's best footnote to the filming of "Spotlight".

The benefits are obvious, and protecting children from harm is definitely the bottom line that all parents around the world should not violate!

"If there is God, then the priest is not an angel, and the Pope is not an archangel." Murphy stood here, saying to himself, "Only children are the most beautiful angels in the world!" ”

The transition was still going on, and just as Murphy was going to go to the dressing room to have a look and communicate with Robert Downey Jr. and others, Gal Gadot walked in with Emma Watson from the studio door, and many people surrounded the two of them the moment they saw them.

It's not that Emma Watson is so attractive, it's that Gal Gadot represented the crew at the 86th Oscar Nominees Luncheon this year.

Now that she's back, the list of nominees for the 86th Academy Awards is definitely out!
