Chapter 742 The Most Beautiful Angel
"hey-hey……"
In the studio set up as an office, Jonah Hill saw Robert Downey Jr. walking in with his pockets in hand, put down his work and asked, "How are you talking?"
Murphy looked at the images captured by the camera on the monitor. As the shooting progressed, all the Stanton party members participated in the shooting. Due to the sufficient preparations in advance, whether it was Seth Rogen at the beginning, or Robert Downey Jr., Jonah Hill and Margot Robbie, who joined later, all showed their best form. [The Gate of Mysterious Realm]【No pop-up window..】
The shooting also went very smoothly. By the end of January now, nearly half of the indoor scenes have been filmed.
Sitting on the director's chair, Murphy was a little uneasy, but he still forced himself to focus on his work and not think about the nominee luncheon for the 86th Academy Awards that might be in progress.
"Uh..." Robert Downey Jr. cut his hair short, with gray temples and slightly bald forehead, which can be described as a look that has never appeared before, "Marty Baron wants us to investigate the case of Father John Jogan. "
"That's great."
Playing a hands-on reporter, Jonah Hill fully agrees, "It's a case worth pursuing."
Margot Robbie behind him sat on a chair, propped his chin with one hand, and said, "A well-known lawyer claims that Bishop Bernard Law knew about it long ago."
"By the way, that lawyer is called Mitch." Margot Robbie held a pen in the other hand, "I interviewed him in court."
"Can you see him?" Robert Downey Jr. asked.
Margot Robbie thought for a moment. "He's tough."
"Then leave it to me." Jonah Hill took the initiative to take over the task, "I like dealing with difficult people the most."
Seeing the excellent performance of several actors, Murphy relaxed a little and sat on the back of the chair. Every one of these guys is a well-known figure now, and they are different from those who became popular overnight, not to mention Robert Jr. People like Downey and James Franco, who have struggled for many years to achieve such a great reputation, even Margot Robbie, who is recognized by the outside world as the lucky one, have accumulated little by little to achieve their current explosion. [Indestructible Dragon Emperor]
Everyone in Stanton's party, behind the great fame, has the ability to match it.
"Before we figure out the situation, don't let Bishop Bernard Lao know." Robert Downey Jr. copied his hands and calmly urged, "Be careful with this matter."
"Then we're in for a blessing," Margot Robbie said.
"Stop!" Murphy shouted from behind the director's monitor, "This one is over!"
He turned his head and ordered Michelle Williams, who was the assistant director, "Now turn the scene, and you will be in charge for the time being."
"No problem." Michelle Williams temporarily took over the work of directing the crew.
Murphy came to the film crew and chatted with Philip Lascher.
"Isn't it a bit too plain?" Phillip Raschel also expressed his opinion, "The Catholic Church is powerful in the Boston area, and those reporters are also very clear about what this investigation means..."
"This is the scene that Robbie Robinson and several of his subordinates jointly described." Murphy shook his head. "At that time, there was no emotion, nor did they make up their minds. It was just a sense of responsibility that prompted them to do so."
In this scene, except for a few plain reminders from Robbie Robinson played by Robert Downey Jr., there are no lines or performances that are provocative or emphasize challenging Catholicism. What, there is no need to say much.
In fact, such a plot is more suitable for highlighting the characters.
Regardless of 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 entire society and even the power system Numerous scandals broke out,
But only specific individuals were punished, and the system was never suspected. [Gate of Mysterious Realm]
Now, what Editor-in-Chief Marty Barone and all the reporters on Spotlight want to do is bring the systemic problems into view, and they want to tell the public that one or two sexual assaults are happening It is the personal vice of a pastor, but the inevitable result of the high-level ignorance of this and the entire systemic disease.
But to achieve this goal is far more difficult than exposing one or two pastors, which requires waiting for an opportunity.
As journalists, they have worked so hard to get the material, if they publish it early, they will hand over the initiative to the church, and let the other party adopt the strategy of abandoning their pawns to protect the handsome, and if they publish it late, they will lose to the peers. compete.
Among them is the professional helplessness and entanglement of being a reporter.
The media does have many disadvantages, but for this incident, the investigative report is basically out of the protection of the public interest, rather than personal grievances, but in the process of interviewing and reporting, it is inevitable to substitute oneself emotions and emotions.
When they learn about one scandal after another that has been concealed and see individuals on the verge of collapse, they themselves inevitably fall into irritability and anger, but they must always limit themselves within a rational framework and pursue the truth step by step. And the verification, the pain and comfort in it, it is difficult for the outside world to understand.
This time, under the lens of Murphy, the media and reporters are professionals rather than saints. Therefore, apart from a sense of justice, there is also something called ambition that drives them. Incomprehensible.
In terms of calmness, restraint and relatively flat expression, it is possible to accurately express such subtle emotions that only insiders can understand.
Looking at it from another angle, this is a depressing but also full of fighting spirit story, which has become a media elegy in this era. Although people know that the media is necessary as a check and balance of power, no one can change the current situation that the media halo has dissipated. Reality.
The news is becoming more and more entertaining and fast-selling, and it is difficult for it to form a massive power. No one knows how this indispensable fourth power will return to its original position.
Even, Murphy feels that maybe in the near future, when no one is willing to read articles that are longer than the screen of a mobile phone, the chances of audiences watching movies with serious themes will be infinitely reduced.
Of course, how many other media outlets and journalists are there today like "Focus"?
I'm afraid that the most shameless people in this industry are similar to him and Kara Firth back then, right?
For example, Murphy himself admitted that he made this film not pure at all, but with a very strong purpose. One is to borrow the current situation, and the other is to show the power of him and his film!
A director, even a super director, seems weak and powerless, just a tool to entertain others, but his influence is so great that no one can underestimate it!
The significance of this movie is not that it takes a few shots and some criticisms to bring down the entire Catholic Church, not to mention how much Americans still trust, worship and follow the Catholic Church, even if the Catholic Church is broken to the bone , and it is not as terrible as the indulgences and **** that year.
Moreover, Murphy was neither stupid, nor was his brain flooded, so he would never have such wishful thinking.
So if you want to point directly at the darkness of the entire Catholic Church, ten movies like "Spotlight" are not enough, but the most powerful thing about this movie is that it expounds the true meaning of all the previous scandals about Catholicism.
The reports in the media are not false, let alone slander, and even their reports are just the tip of the iceberg!
"Focus" will magnify this series of reports infinitely, break out of the scope of North America, and spread to the whole world!
This series of actions and plans is just like in the "Inception" that Murphy once watched. It wants people to believe in one thing, not to tell him right from wrong, to judge right from wrong, or It is not a silent hint, but a small point of view to be implanted in people's minds, which is the so-called "iion", literally translated as "foundation" in the words on the other side of the Pacific Ocean!
These plans made by Murphy, coupled with the ongoing operations assisted by 20th Century Fox, are in some respects a special "foundation"!
With such a seed used as a "foundation", I believe that when many Catholics or pastors hold their children and tell stories, the first reaction will no longer be that God blesses my son, but rush to take my son away. .
This will inevitably embarrass the Archbishop Marquez Costello who keeps attacking him, and it is also possible to lose his current position. The Vatican will also be busy fighting fires, and I am afraid that he will not have the energy to trouble him for a long time in the future. up.
Of course, believers all over the world will still believe in religion. Catholicism, Christianity, and even the entire God system will still be the largest belief system in the world.
However, this small "groundbreaking" will keep the world's media following up, and since then, the Catholic Church has regained the suspicion it had at the time of the Protestant Revolution.
This is also Murphy's best footnote to the filming of "Focus".
The benefits it brings are obvious. Protecting children from harm is definitely the bottom line that all parents in the world cannot violate!
"If there is a God, then the priest is not an angel, and the Pope is not an archangel." Murphy stood here, thinking to himself, "Only children are the most beautiful angels in this world!"
The transition was still going on, just when Murphy was going to visit the dressing room and communicate with Robert Downey Jr. and others, Gal Gadot took Emma Watson out of the studio door When they entered, many people surrounded them the moment they saw the two of them.
This is not how attractive Emma Watson is, but Gal Gadot attended the eighty-sixth Oscar nominees luncheon on behalf of the crew this year.
Now that she's back, the nominations for the 86th Academy Awards are sure to come out!
