Description

"Spotlight" is a 2015 drama film that tells the true story of the Boston Globe's investigative journalism team, known as "Spotlight," and their work to uncover the systemic child abuse by Catholic priests in Boston. Led by editor Walter Robinson, the team faces resistance and intimidation from the Catholic Church and the wider community as they delve deeper into the story. As they uncover more evidence and testimonies, they realize the extent of the cover-up and the complicity of the Church hierarchy.

The film was directed by Tom McCarthy and stars Mark Ruffalo, Michael Keaton, and Rachel McAdams as members of the Spotlight team. The film received critical acclaim for its powerful performances, sensitive handling of a difficult subject matter, and its portrayal of the importance of investigative journalism in holding institutions accountable.

"Spotlight" won several awards, including Best Picture at the Academy Awards, and its impact was felt far beyond the film industry. The investigation by the real-life Spotlight team led to a widespread reform of the Catholic Church and helped to spark a global conversation about institutional abuse and cover-ups. "Spotlight" is a powerful and important film that serves as a reminder of the vital role that journalism plays in uncovering the truth and holding those in power accountable.

The dramatic storyline of "People Like Us" tells us about unfortunate broke salesman who is suddenly faced the bad news about his father and the necessity to deliver 150 grands to his sister he has never knew. He feels self-confident enough to convince her to let him left the money for himself, but very soon he realizes the futility of his life when he meets lonesome mother struggling for more significant needs than he could even imagine. The film was directed by Alex Kurtzman, who is better known as producer of action-packed movies like Star Trek and Cowboys & Aliens. People Like Us is his debut as director, and it's essential that this movie is a low budgeted one. However, it does not mean that something is wrong with this film. Awesome directional skills of Kurtzman multiplied on perfect assembly of cast and heart-touching screenplay (co-written by Alex too) resulted in must-see masterpiece equally standing among his other works as producer like Transformers Prime, Exit Strategy, Exit Strategy, Hawaii Five-0, Fringe. But, let's go back to the cast: beautiful Michelle Pfeiffer (Dark Shadows, Stardust) as Lillian is accompanied by Elizabeth Banks and charming Olivia Wilde (In Time, Tron: Legacy) as Hanna. The "downshifting" salesman is portrayed by Chris Pine, who is well known for his roles in latest Star Treks and very funny dramcom This Means War.
