Suswatibasu (1703 KP) rated Spotlight (2015) in Movies
Aug 9, 2017
Spotlight is such an important part of media history because they uncovered one of the darkest secrets of one community, which mirrors all communities. The film is awe-inspiring, so much so that I wanted to go back into a newsroom and be a TV journalist again at the forefront of major news. This is literally the best film for journalists to watch and for audiences to understand what it's like to work in a newsroom. More importantly, it shows how vital the media can be when actually doing proper investigations.
It is extremely dark given the subject nature - but having been in a similar situation breaking the story of Jimmy Savile in the UK for British media, the film completely reflects my own personal experiences.
Leah Lopez (7 KP) rated Dog Soldiers: Love, Loyalty and Sacrifice on the Front Line in Books
Nov 6, 2019
Isabel George, author of Buster: The dog who saved a thousand lives, is clearly an animal lover herself and has much respect for the dogs in British/American forces. (Despite the high percentage of those who disapprove in America), Isabel George has an understanding-given her long history of books-for dogs/handlers and her natural attitude is clearly felt. Dog Soldiers merits the strong bond between a dog soldier and dog handler...how their bond is firmly glued and cannot be unsealed. I am not going to talk about the book itself because I wish for readers to pick this book up with a fresh mind rather than me going into detail of what this book entails.
Nonetheless, I cried many tears...!
Much love to the families
