The find() method searches for documents where the 'released' field is equal to the specified date, May 9, 1893. The ISODate() function is used to create a date object in MongoDB'sISODate format.

The second parameter that includes the fields 'title', 'languages', 'released', 'directors', 'writers', and 'countries' in the output, so they are set to 1 in the projection object.
