Spotlight Review

Spotlight won best picture last year and exceeded my expectations when I watched it as well. I think the part that made the movie moving was the fact that it was a true story and was based off the journalists perspectives. The movie is based off a true store, depicting the investigations against priests in Boston accused of molesting over 1,000 victims. Over 90 priests were on “sick leave” indicating they were in fact molesting boys. The part that stood out to me was when the reporter found the priests house and it was down the block from his house. It made the story real to think that this molester lived down the block from the journalists house, where his kids walk to school everyday and have to pass this house.
