As a third-party audience, because of Meryl's acting skills, their understanding of the truth in the film will tend to her side. In fact, what the director wants to say should be more than that. The role of nun james is a kind of sudden realization. James believes that Father Flynn is on his side, or rather, she is on his side; Donald's mother is totally on her son's side, and of course on her own. For the truest understanding of doubt, I think it seems that Ms. Miller's idea is the most important reference.
At the very beginning of the film, Father flynn's sermon actually lays out his views on skepticism. Everyone has doubts about their beliefs. When they are in an uncertain environment for a long time, people will more or less lose confidence to stick to their beliefs. What he wants to convey is that everyone will have such times, so everyone does not have to doubt that their doubts are wrong, that is enough, in fact, this is just to excuse his own mistakes.
James represents a different kind of person, living within a conventional framework. When doubts arise in her life, she will try to regulate her with rules and regulations, and then get a kind of peace of mind. The mistakes made by the priest were simply unacceptable to her in common sense. When she comes into contact with various one-sided representations within the scope of self-consciousness, he will completely dissuade his doubts with such false representations or images created by himself. In reality, there are many such people.
Sister Aloysius is the central character of the film, a model of conviction and courage in her faith. In the absence of evidence, it is very difficult for her to so resolutely insist on what she thinks is right. This should be worthy of everyone's admiration, although in the end she also had doubts. How painful is it to have doubts after something is right, at least more painful than hitting oneself in the foot with a brick, because it is a scourge of self-personality, not the pain of flesh and blood.
Ms. Miller, my favorite character in the film. Does she have questions? Of course there was, but in her last conversation with Sister Aloysius it was clear that it didn't matter whether you had doubts, it was important to know what you wanted. What she wants is that danold can successfully graduate into a better high school in June, and then into a better university. In other words, if it is the story transferred to Father Flynn's sermon, when the sailor has lost faith in the direction, then all he has to insist on is how to survive, and within all the information he has, do everything that is best for survival. of.
What is doubt?
The former project director of the company, on the day of his resignation, said calmly to me: "Where did I cheat you, I can't think of anything I've done that I'm sorry for you." "I don't think you are a sly boy People." "The promise that Mao Mao gave you has not been fulfilled!"... This series of lines that are even bloodier than TV series completely stunned me, a person who never has anything to do with himself, but But he made a number of judgments of one kind and another in a dignified manner. The words are thrilling like this is more true than the truth.
On the day the company announced the cancellation, a colleague who used to think they trusted each other said to me, "Have you found a new home?" I said, "No. I just found out today!" "Fuck, you have a relationship with her. Well, don't you know?" What made him think I would know?
What makes such a ridiculous misunderstanding between three people who have no stake in the conflict. Then this is doubt!
When others believe in what they think is right or wrong for absolutely no reason, all you can do is ignore it. Know what you want and what you can get in the end.
