    The short film incisively summarizes the multiple relations of politics, belief, race, etc. It is a psychological drama and a drama that completely needs the performance of the actors and the support of traditional film theories and techniques. You can clearly see the climax of the cause, the climax and the ending, and even the ending of each character. The truth of the position and even the thunderstorm and the strong wind in the climax part seems very clear, but the depth of the characters'...

    Adapted from a stage play, it is full of a lot of indoor scenes and tit-for-tat lines. The actors are very entertaining, but I hope there is a little more space for other parts. The story is small but the script is good. Although I have seen the trailer, the climax scene is still very impactful. The director wanted to make the point of the story ambiguous, but this ambiguity was narrated in a very clear...

    The skills of the Oscar-winning actor and actress should not be underestimated. The old drama is very explosive. One is the woman who can act best, and the other is the fat man who can act best. However, as far as the story is concerned, I don't think there is anything that attracts me. Maybe it is the difference of religion and culture, maybe the lack of background knowledge, maybe the translation is not in place. I always feel that the characters in it are a bit neurotic. And the whole film...

    Traditional and modern authority and hierarchies rebel against and cling to. Is God Almighty?...

    Dramatic but not contrived. The disadvantage is that many symbolic elements present the sister in a positive image to the audience and put the priest in a negative position, which can easily make the audience stereotype and misunderstand the plot. ——Of course, this may also be the director's trick? Did nun self-doubt subvert this stereotype until the last...

    wonderful performance! Doubt can be as powerful a connection as firmness; when you are lost, you are not...

    The suspicion that finally suffocated the principal was the patriarchal system that sheltered each other in order to protect the reputation of the church. People believe in religion for the certainty of God, but after all, religion is only a man-made religion, and as a result, people still cannot get rid of Doubt. Whether you are lost until you deceive yourself, or persist until you move forward with tears, this is the...

    The plot is really SOSO. It seems like a big fuss. But the acting department is really strong. The drama of the actor and actress is amazing!! The other lines are very textbook. It is very good to be used as an English learning...

Doubt quotes

  • Father Brendan Flynn: Doubt can be a bond as powerful and sustaining as certainty. When you are lost, you are not alone.

  • Father Brendan Flynn: A woman was gossiping with her friend about a man whom they hardly knew - I know none of you have ever done this. That night, she had a dream: a great hand appeared over her and pointed down on her. She was immediately seized with an overwhelming sense of guilt. The next day she went to confession. She got the old parish priest, Father O' Rourke, and she told him the whole thing. 'Is gossiping a sin?' she asked the old man. 'Was that God All Mighty's hand pointing down at me? Should I ask for your absolution? Father, have I done something wrong?' 'Yes,' Father O' Rourke answered her. 'Yes, you ignorant, badly-brought-up female. You have blamed false witness on your neighbor. You played fast and loose with his reputation, and you should be heartily ashamed.' So, the woman said she was sorry, and asked for forgiveness. 'Not so fast,' says O' Rourke. 'I want you to go home, take a pillow upon your roof, cut it open with a knife, and return here to me.' So, the woman went home: took a pillow off her bed, a knife from the drawer, went up the fire escape to her roof, and stabbed the pillow. Then she went back to the old parish priest as instructed. 'Did you gut the pillow with a knife?' he says. 'Yes, Father.' 'And what were the results?' 'Feathers,' she said. 'Feathers?' he repeated. 'Feathers; everywhere, Father.' 'Now I want you to go back and gather up every last feather that flew out onto the wind,' 'Well,' she said, 'it can't be done. I don't know where they went. The wind took them all over.' 'And that,' said Father O' Rourke, 'is gossip!'
