neutral · AI labelView post →in no particular order, a film festival of what I consider PEAK Willett-Style Catholicism content: -Disney “Robin Hood” -“Conclave” -“Spotlight” -the death penalty West Wing episode -“Indiana Jones & the Last Crusade” -“Jesus Christ Superstar” -“Stigmata” -“Fleabag” -“Seven Fishes” from The Bear
neutral · AI labelView post →If issues don't bear on common troubles, then focusing on "the issues" — as against the horse race — may not be the answer it seems to be. Also: Great journalism puts a spotlight on troubles and turns them into issues, which is exactly what the movie, "Spotlight" is all about. 17/

positive · AI labelView post →this is like the film Spotlight except instead of many priests it’s one president and instead of the Boston Globe eventually righting their mistake w/ a new editor it’s unclear if NYT will investigate this seriously

neutral · AI labelView post →It is one of the bigger takeaways from the very excellent film Spotlight—to demonstrate how much time, focus, influence, resources, and sheer hard work by multiple people it takes to really thoroughly cover something large and important.
positive · AI labelView post →Tom McCarthy insisted on a "zero-style" cinematography for SPOTLIGHT (2015) He banned dramatic camera swoops or flashy lighting, wanting the film to feel like an "unvarnished, blue-collar" procedural. This superb Movie premiered 11yrs ago today.
neutral · AI labelView post →Absolutely incredible thread, deserves a film treatment on par with All the President’s Men or Spotlight or Denial, and fuck the Beeb for perfidy.
neutral · AI labelView post →Dark Waters is a great film that everyone should watch, a bit like Spotlight. While on the subject of Chemicals I see the farmers are out spraying fields which means a few days of dizziness and headaches which I'm assured is nothing.

neutral · AI labelView post →Keaton is extremely versatile. My favorite performance of his was in the movie Spotlight. It was not flashy or showy. It was his most genuine & relatable.
positive · AI labelView post →Superman (2025) is the most pro-journalism movie I’ve seen since Spotlight. I’m not kidding
positive · AI labelView post →I love a good journalism movie (Spotlight, The Post, etc). It feels like we are witnessing one being written in Alberta as we speak. Who will play @carrietait.bsky.social & @alannasmith.bsky.social & @natepike.bsky.social? Here for it.

positive · AI labelView post →The Spotlight team won a Pulitzer Prize in 2003 for their reporting. The film is the story of that investigation. Spotlight is a great newspaper movie based on the old-school model. The truth in that edition, the evil it describes, will be a wound in the psyche of millions, but it must come out.
neutral · AI labelView post →As a journalist, I also really appreciated how the movie recognized that Clark, Lois and Jimmy are reporters! Parts of the movie definitely have "Spotlight" vibes.

neutral · AI labelView post →"Spotlight" is such a great movie. We need more great journalism movies.
positive · AI labelView post →But good long-form journalism still exists. Such work is as important now as it has ever been. “Spotlight” is the kind of movie where a scene showing a group of reporters huddled over church directories, taking notes in silence, becomes a gripping sequence.

neutral · AI labelView post →“The Social Reckoning” was way better than I expected it to be but I was hoping for more underlining, highlighting, and circling of things like in that investigative journalism classic, “Spotlight”. Now that was a movie that knew how to zoom in on a pen underlining a word.
