Spotlight
Spotlight is a 2015 American biographical drama film. This movie is basically talking about a group called “Spotlight “which exist in The Boston Goble. This team only builds by only four people but they all have the passion beyond what they write and what related to this job. All the wants to do is give the justice back to this society. There is cases that they got into for research is child sexual abuse in the Boston area by numerous Roman Catholic priests. Because of what those children believed, or how deep their family believes god, they do not tell anyone. Even some of them are trying to public this. Those priests hired a lawyer to cover that news. When they look through the file, there is nothing. Nonetheless, based on the help

Since it is a bunch of editors wondering about to gather evidences and based on the words to find out how is next movement. While they are finding out the priests have histories about children sexual abuse all quit by the same reason “Homesick.” When they search the record they find out there are not just 13 priests have this behavior. So they spend lots of times to make a list. The shots just keep changing. It shows that everyone put all 24 hours to find out what the truth are. Gathering the name is a very important step. Those shots on the movie that shows they really want to deep inside this case, and bring back justice. Not just, for the passion of these is a new stuff appear among them. There is more like a passion about the world, and mad about why they get this so late, if they get that a little early, they will make fewer children avoid this situation. It is not just influenced their life future. It also makes them pure never exist. “That is not only physical abuse, it is spiritual abuse too. So you reach for the bottle or the needle, or if those do not work, you jump off the bridge. That is what we call ourselves survivors” This is quoted by one victim in the movie which called Phil. He gets sexual abuse when he only 11. While Phil describes this to Spotlight team, I can see that he trying to control his emotion so he can keep claiming and finish story telling.

But this one really impresses me. Not because of what happened in the movie, it also reflects that even we all know there is something going on the world everyday. Why there is no one stands out and points it out. All those stuff should be reported early. And the stubborn God believer rather to sacrifice their children to protect the priest, or should I call it monster. Just like Jim said to Robby, even he knows there are lots of things going on everyday. Where is he? What took him so long? Maybe those are the questions we need to reflect upon. Where are we when those things happened, and what took us so long to find the justice

    The documentary, Two American Families, is about two American families (one white and one black) from Milwaukee, the Neumann and the Stanley family, who shared how they lived their lives for two decades. This documentary showed how difficult it was for these families to achieve the American dream, as they were affected by the varying degrees of poverty, unemployment, and poor economy. Watching the documentary, Two American Families, was quite emotional for me. I was able to put myself on these families’ shoes. The documentary showed an example of how a lot of ordinary American families live and face the daily struggles of life.…

    There are many moments that have really stood out to me, and I would like to present some of these moments. When the story opens, Lopez and his mom are at the church is one of the moments has that really stood out to me; Usually when I am in the church, I expect things to be calm and peace, because I tend to see church as a holy place. With that being said, horrible things have no place at the church but outside of the church. It was kind of ironic to me to see the soldiers come to kidnap children from the church. Another moment that has absolutely stood out to me was when Lopez and other kids were in the huts after kidnapped.…

    1:To recreate the tension or the emotions portrayed in a scene, would be difficult because everyone who reads the story has a different interpretation, for an example humor is a very unique factor and some may find it funny when others see it as sad. 2:One of the last scene i think would be difficult to recreate when they are being hanged, for the fact of injury or to portray the scene with such an intense emotion and a message it tries to send isn't the easiest task for film makes. 3:I would have rion renaldas play john proctor because i think he's an amazing actor and someone who can portray the scenes very well with his kind of character. 4:The clothing in the movie shows what they are wearing show the time period the very dull colors…

    The Spotlight team at the Boston Globe was able to publicize a 30 year history of the Catholic Church covering up to not deal with the repercussions and refusing to put a stop to the massive child abuse problem occurring by the priest. In order to do this, the team had to work countless hours to remain focus on the “big picture” to gather the information and inform the public about this extremely important matter that would become one of the biggest scandals in history. The team had to go out of their comfort zone and seek creative ways to find the truth. The team began to reach out to the churches and also reached out to a support group of victims abused by priest.…

    Overall, I believe that the film shows how the criminal justice system is basically against these inmates, and how they do not want to help these inmates in any way. Also, it is very clear that these inmates will do the right thing to get out of this prison. But in reality these men are either going to die in prison or get out when they are very old. It is sad to know that the prison is treating the inmates like…

    Recovering from trauma may seem impossible to the victims who are left to cope with the intense symptoms that plague them long after the traumatic incident. Although progression is slow, recovery with the right therapy is possible (Wright, 2011). Some victims may choose a therapist who is well equipped to provide therapy to those who have been through trauma. Other victims might choose a spiritual leader to help them through the process of recovery and others may not choose to get help at all. Not only are the chances of recovery low for those victims who choose to untreated, they are also at risk for further difficulties that can disrupt their lives and the lives of their families such as anxiety, depression, pain, and substance abuse (Schiraldi, 2009).…

    Going to watch Anatomy of Hate at 9 pm, I did not know what to expect. Once the film started playing though my gut reaction was disturbed. I could not understand how others could tear someone down based on skin color and religion. I have known what happened in Germany during world war 2, but somehow I have held out hope that there were no one treating people terribly in America. What disgusted me was seeing how parents portrayed views on their own children that were discriminatory and seeing how children would hold signs with words I never could imagine saying.…
