After watching it, my mind keeps repeating the scene

"Doubt is just as powerful and substantial a bound for us as certainty. When you get lost, you are not alone." Doubt is a powerful force that can hold people together but can also fall apart in the end. The beginning and end of the film are completely different interpretations of doubt, which is very meaningful.

It is impossible to know whether the priest sexually abused the boy, but there are traces of connivance and helplessness. The nun informs the boy's mother. But the mother did not worry about whether the child was sexually harassed. Instead, she took the "sin" and said at the beginning: Maybe the child's nature is like this, and it is not the priest's fault. Does she not love children? is not. As long as a child graduates from this prestigious school, he may go to a higher school and change the fate of poverty. It is worthwhile to exchange a few months of humiliation for future happiness.

The lower classes are so pitiful, of course the nuns did everything in their power to save the suffering. She did not hesitate to speak big words, falsely claiming to have investigated the priest, forcing him to show a fox's tail and voluntarily resign. The priest was pitiful and asked her: Haven't you done anything wrong?

Yes, everyone does something wrong. She had also witnessed disgusting things in the church, but she was unable to expose it at the time, and she did not expose it. He did something wrong in other churches, has he changed it now? Nobody knows. The nun firmly believed that the priest was wrong and did not believe that he cared for the boy in good faith, and finally reported to the senior superior to kick the priest away.

Simply, "I don't believe it!" When the power core vetoed, whether Laan Li did anything wrong, as long as Qi Haha played and buried a bunch of them, he was promoted on the spot and went to the next level. Only the nun looked up to the sky and sighed, her original devout faith had been shaken.

The truth is, years later, the church broke out a sex scandal that had been hidden for decades. The protagonist of the scandal is alone. For decades, no one noticed. Or as in the movie, even if there is a shred of doubt, there will be a bigger hand to help the perpetrator hide the truth.

Doubt quotes

  • Father Brendan Flynn: [to Sister James] There are people who go after your humanity, Sister, that tell you that the light in your heart is a weakness. Don't believe it. It's an old tactic of cruel people to kill kindness in the name of virtue.

  • Father Brendan Flynn: [to Sister James about Sister Aloysius] The dragon is hungry.
