Doubt was the first movie I watched in the year of the ox in the lunar calendar. I was shocked at the beginning of the year.

I really want to get into John Patrick Shanley's head and see what he is hiding? What is the truth? Maybe in his head The villain will stop me and say, don't look for it, he doesn't know it himself!

Sister Belleville cried in the last scene of the whole film and said, I have doubts, yes, no one knows what the truth is

. Is Father Lin a pedophile? Or is he just gay (look at his long, clean nails, does that imply his sexuality?), or is he just a sympathetic heterosexual Lovers? His departure was not a guilty conscience at all, but a total disgust for the place?

Whatever he was, there was no doubt that he was the object of admiration and even admiration for a gay 12-year-old boy. The man's feelings, and conversely, what kind of feelings does he have for this boy?

Think of Almodovar, the same story was made into a gorgeous baroque by him, and doubt is like a thriller spy film, leading calmly As the audience moves to climax step by step, Viola Davis, the mother of a black boy, brings the film into splendor with an unparalleled performance: a heartbroken mother has to reveal this "earth-shattering" secret, she is only 12 The old boy is a gay.

So, in just 5 minutes of performance, Viola Davis proudly took away the brilliance of the acting god in front of the queen of drama, Maya.

Evaluating doubt is not just about discussing a movie Movie. We know that the excellence of the film is due to the splendor of the original drama itself. Its highlight is the twists and turns of the script (obviously it is a simple story, but turns around again and again, think of Korea's "Memories of Murder", leave blank forever It's more than a blunt NB) and a group of actors to show off their high-level performances. Yes, to play such a play well, it is definitely a technical job.

Of course, its task is not just to let the actors show off their new performance skills. high.

All the characters are so complicated. Megumi's seemingly evil-looking devilish character (god, that's a lot more complicated than the fashion devil) reminds me of the people holding up placards and chanting in support of Proposition 8 The old southern ladies, their kind of toughness and persistence made me unable to hate them. And the fat guy Huo is even more real, he and Viola Davis sublimated the film, he made me feel even if he Really a pedophile, even if he did seduce the little boy to have sex, this devil in Sister Beville's eyes is definitely an angel in the little boy's eyes.

Let's forget about , that A fantastic movie full of lust, because in John Patrick Shanley's world, religion, morality, good and evil, everything is so complicated that we have no choice but to doubt it.
