I felt the most shocking moment in the film was where one of the journalists finds a lists of pedo priests and their names and he found out one lived in his neighborhood and he freaks out and jogs outside to go look at his house

Well done. I think it should also bear mention that the aftermath of the revelations, and the lawsuits filed by the victims caused the diocese of Boston to file for bankruptcy. A number of other dioceses were also forced to file for bankruptcy and parishioners all over the country are paying for the settlements with victims. I also want to emphasize that newspapers are consolidating and merging still and I saw an estimate that almost 40% of journalists, most of them experienced have lost their jobs in the past 10 years. (Bureau of Labor Standards employment categories)

Found this channel via History Buffs (yeah I was late to that, too). Great video, I literally added 24 of your videos to my Watch Later. Cynical Historian binge tonight!

It's genuinely one of the best films I've ever seen

9:20 - the Church's most "massive" response, certainly in the Boston area, has been to sell or otherwise monetize their property holdings to settle lawsuits. I'm not sure that there is virtue, or even repentance, in being brought to accountability at the point of a gun.

I'm watching this two years later, and this scandale just got way worse like a week ago. I wonder how the movie about that stuffs gonna look

I watched this movie on your recommendation. I hadn't been planning to otherwise, thinking that an inaccurate film about such a topic would be really unhelpful. It was quite a good film, and I really like the piano score.

The Boys of St Vincent is a Canadian movie of similar subject done very well

Do - Straight Outta Compton

Bloody well done m8, as always. I would suggest that you review "Amen." (2002).

My college professor linked your video. You are KZread goals LOL! btw, great vid

When the top one ignored and highly possibly involved, no shit it's systematic. The whole pedophilia ring and this kind of crimes for institutions birthed from abused/victim becoming the abuser and it goes on and on like a downward spiral into the abyss. the most scary part of this movie isn't from some of the brilliant and intimate scenes but when the movie finally end and it shows the location list of the probability of many uncovered cases of abuses throughout the world before the end credits roll. It shows we common people only knows so little to none.

The characters don't have much to them and the filmmaking is lacking, but this is one of those times where the story it tells, along with the great casting and pacing make up for it.

I really do love the Catholic Church and I am really glad to see that they took this movie well.

Can you do Downfall?

I think - but am no expert on this - that Downfall's main problems fall into the "lies of omission" category - as in, characters that come off sympathetically were actually really really bad and involved in a lot of atrocities, but the movie does not mention it even in the "where are they now" montage...

Can you analyze "Battle of Algiers"?

you should review Glory Road next!

This movie was really good, except it did not deserve Best Picture, Mad Max with its d Horrid story was actully a farely innovative for the genre and filmmaking, which is what an oscar movie should be, Sicario deserved best Picture

I don't really understand why they wanted to have calls in the end. Why do you think that they wanted so?

Would you consider reviewing A Man For All Seasons?

Hollywood shone a spotlight on the Catholic Church while ignoring Harvey Weinstein for years lmfao

Men like sex. Sex is easier to obtain if one is in a position of power and authority. What better position of authority can one have than a man telling children that they are that child's intercesser for god?

But you say makes sense, I’ll trust a child with a velociraptor before I trust theme with clergy.

I recall that the lawyer alex macleisch said that the film is excellent but his portrayal is incorrect is their any evidence that goes against that.

+Christian browne people often take issue with their characterization, but don't contravene the narrative. Character is a subjective thing, and without some district issue with evidence, no historian can really say

@@CynicalHistorian It's a 1948 Film Noir movie starring Jimmy Stewart. It is an investigating journalist movie. Based on a true story. The real journalist that Jimmy Stewart plays also got a Pulitzer for his reporting which sent 2 men free from a murder they didn't commit. It's kind of clunky, but I believe it's that first step to films such as All The President's Men, or Spotlight. There is even a section toward the end of the movie which talks about the forerunner of a fax machine. kzread.info/dash/bejne/lHuDsZuJlrmscso.html You probably won't think it would be review material, yet it is interesting.
