take it easy on the world

Before watching it, I read a lot of film reviews piece by piece, and many of them have risen to a certain level with pride. The eyes are full of discussions and struggles about human nature. In fact, it's not good to relax, and it's not good to be gentle, why criticize the priest who may have a wrong past and love the kindness.
Maybe it's because the actor's acting is so good, it's really sad to see him arguing about innocent eyes and helpless grief. I will never forget what he said to the nun. I have also made unforgivable mistakes. I also prayed for my priest's forgiveness. We are the same. I would rather believe that he never did anything to black children, and even from the film, there is no trace of his child abuse. However, it is undeniable that he may have made mistakes, but it does not affect my good impression of him from beginning to end.
The nature of a black child is a bit deviated from normal because of his father's abuse. Perhaps this has nothing to do with sexual orientation, because his own age is not enough to determine such an adult issue of sexual orientation. He just lacks fatherly love when he needs fatherly love, which leads to dependence and desire for men. So I don't think there is so-called love between him and the priest. The way he looked at the priest and the sad mood after the priest left were normal. The priest has brought so much joy here, and the wind of freedom that the children yearn for, especially his peculiar love and care for boys, worship and even blind admiration is possible. So, where did the word "child abuse" come from? The priest is a kind of representative of society, representing those who want to change but are doubted. In his sermon, he said that people's fate is controlled by the wind, and he didn't even know why he was blown away by the wind. These words are full of sincerity and compassion, sincere to the believers sitting in the audience, and compassion for their own faults that will never be forgiven.
Let's talk about another protagonist that makes me tempted, that is, the kind and young sister. I love her sensitivity and affection, but also her dilemma. Not only did I agree with her firm belief in the priest, she was also moved by her sincerity in taking responsibility for the school children, and she was even more attracted to her understanding and sympathy for the old nun at the end of the film. She represents a breath of fresh air in that society, blowing away the puzzling gloom that pervades the film. She is not the point, nor the essence, but she is indispensable.
In fact, there is also an important character in the film, that is, the stereotyped old nun. She abides by her inner rules and cannot be violated, and also sticks to her own concept of right and wrong, which cannot be changed. She is pitiful, pitiful, and lovely. Obedient to God but willing to offend God in order to uphold what is right, she is obviously kind. But since I couldn't understand her rigid stubbornness, I couldn't identify with her. It wasn't until I saw her cry that she was pitiful and lovely: she never wavered, never doubted, but in the face of the safety of the child and her past experience, she had to strictly control the priest and use all means to drive away the priest until Pushing herself into a corner to admit her doubt. The ending is really sad.
Many people talk about the so-called right and wrong and kindness. In fact, there is no need to explore whose kindness is more reliable, and there is no need to explore whose kindness has ulterior motives. Relaxing is more thorough, the world is big, messy, and disordered. Love what you love, guard the land in your heart, everyone is pure, and everyone deserves to be loved and loved.

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.
