Marvelous Movies
I didn’t manage to see every film nominated for an Oscar this year, but late last week I managed to catch two of them: Spotlight and Trumbo.
I thought that both of them were terrific.
More significant, for purposes of this post, I thought that both of them had a lot to give writers to mull over, not least in terms of their respective portrayals of process, risk, moral responsibility, networking, and teamwork. (That the worlds depicted in both films display a common bond of anti-Semitism is something else that caught my attention, but that’s another matter.)
I’d love to hear responses from others who have seen Spotlight and/or Trumbo.
