Compared with Molière's exaggeration in "The Hypocrite", the film's criticism of the church is quiet, and it is directed at the darkness of human nature. The nun played by Meryl Streep and the priest played by Philip Seymour Hoffman are both remarkable. The two only looked at each other, and the air began to become tense. But the most commendable is Viola Davis as the mother of the victimized boy. Only a few minutes after the appearance, the audience has to start thinking about the pressure of survival and the dignity of life, which is more important.
Director John Patrick Stanley once again directed the tube and still maintained his strength in the past, depicting how the tragic and distorted process of moral talk back with no conclusive evidence has been tragically distorted. At the same time, he also explored the personality characteristics of the four leading actors in the film. It is quite thorough. The acting skills of several leading actors are enough to become a textbook for acting directors of Hollywood movies in 2008. Davis played the kind of anxiety and contradiction that a mother was forced to express her uneasy view of her isolated son. Hoffman's performance in the film did not disappoint the audience. Meryl Streep's gloomy performance deliberately lowered her voice, too restrained in some plot performances, but a little too much in other plot performances, this time the performance was somewhat unsatisfactory.
"Child Abuse Suspect" has subtle character design, compact narrative structure, and exquisite story pattern, which can be called a classic Hollywood feature film. The film's solid story design and high level of artistic quality are the prerequisites for its success again. Especially the opposing scenes of the two actresses and queens are wonderful. Hoffman’s performances always show the unknown side in a quiet manner, and Streep uses his own proficient acting skills, full of layers and gestures. Dramatic tension. The film has become an excellent work, not only the subject matter, performance and story structure, but more importantly, it leaves a blank side and space for the audience to think alone. This interactive design is placed on this theme, and it has been very popular in Hollywood. It's rare.
The film is a controversial and serious work. The main point of view is the sturdy play of two major dramas Meryl Streep and Philip Seymour Hoffman, but Amy’s performance is not overwhelmed by them. In the light. It is very different from most of the light-hearted comedies that Amy has played in the past. It is a big test for her acting skills to appear in this film. The role of the little nun broadens her acting path.
