      Doubt--Strict Elder Nuns And Secular Priests

      A lot of people after watching my film think the old nun is an old-fashioned puritanical character, but if you pay attention to the details, you will find that the old nun is actually a very caring person, but she is not very revealing. old nun When the old nun found that the old nun could not find the spoon due to her vision loss during the meal, the old nun helped her and told other nuns not to let others know that the old...

      Unable to fall asleep due to inability to see the truth

      It's weird, I'll never hate Meryl because of this one, she doesn't make any face in her stereotyped, conservative, and cold performances. She especially wanted to laugh when she toured the classroom. I don't think it's a villain, she teaches young nuns how to manage classroom discipline and quietly protects older nuns, but she's particularly cold on one thing, believing that the priest has acted inappropriately on a black boy, and vows to Pull him down to the altar.
      At the end of the film,...

      How to Heal "The Unchangeable"

      I’ve downloaded a movie for a long time, but I haven’t watched it. Sometimes when I write about sex education for children, it always makes people feel uncomfortable when it involves sexual assault. It seems that all the dark sides of human nature are presented here.

      The film "Suspicion of Child Abuse" did not go very deep, and it felt much different from the Korean dramas "The Furnace" and "Suyuan". But in terms of human...

      Excerpts from "DOUBT" lines

Sister Aloysius: No. Mrs. Mueller: Well, maybe nothing happened? Sister Aloysius: I think there are signs of that. Mrs. Mueller: Well, if you...

      After watching it twice in a row, the acting gods are really enjoyable to watch. How can Aunt Mei be able to act like what, and fight wherever she...

      When I watched it, I kept thinking of Hard Candy, and I felt that the character setting first gave you a trap, making you emotionally biased towards the male protagonist, while portraying the persistence of the female protagonist as paranoid, but the truth is another matter. "If Meryl didn't cry at the end, it would be more hard candy~anyway, Philip Seymour Hoffman, I'm your big fan~...

      "There is a gust of wind behind everyone, manipulating our lives." Human beings have actually crossed the moral red line while exposing their unethical behavior. The dramatic scenes of several leading actors far exceed the highlights of the film's plot...

      The story is simple, so you can stay awake and watch it with curiosity when you are sleepy at noon. The whole movie is almost entirely aimed at bringing Mei Gu's performance to the highest level, so the emphasis in some places is very incongruous. The whole is still a little enlightening. I think of another movie called proof, but it's actually quite boring = =. The intention is not hard enough and not deep enough, but a good...

Most of the students came from a long- standing religious school. Mission school for Catholic families.

    Evaluation action

    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...

    • Father Brendan Flynn: You have no right to act on your own! You have taken vows, obedience being one! You answer to us! You have no right to step outside the church!

      Sister Aloysius Beauvier: I will step outside the church if that's what needs to be done, 'til the door should shut behind me! I will do what needs to be done, though I'm damned to Hell! You should understand that, or you will mistake me.

    • Father Flynn: Where is your compassion?

      Sister Aloysius: Nowhere you can get at it.
