Just ranting

Anyway, this movie is not my type. The reason I downloaded it was that it was nominated for an Oscar, and I didn't get interested after playing it for a long time. I just had time today, so I watched it very seriously. I watched it as a movie like Mulholland Drive. But in the process of watching the movie I knew I was wrong, and the results it presented were completely incomparable to Mulholland Drive. With the comparison, there are highs and lows, so I am still relatively disappointed.
It's about religious schools, involving students, parish principals, nuns, bishops, and parents. Mainly involved these people. The bishop's three sermons are the clues throughout the text, the first time he said doubt, then he had a conflict with the head nun, alluding to her, and the last time was farewell. The whole story unfolds in three sermons. The suspenseful part should be whether the nun is right or the bishop is innocent. Both sides firmly believe that they are right and try to convince the third party that they have strong spiritual beliefs and the ability to persuade others, and the whole process will be judged by the audience. I swayed a few times. At the beginning, I felt that the nun was very dark and weird. During the progress, I also felt that she was doing too domineering. She always showed the good side of the bishop, and it was not until later that it was revealed who was the final winner.
Either he or she, such a result is not unexpected, such a suspense film is destined not to be brilliant. There is no feeling of sudden realization, and there is no new situation of "willows and flowers in another village", the whole film is spent in dullness, although the theme of the two of them's argument is whether to force children or not to help children, but the children's situation is not How is it related? It was brought in such an obscure context in a religious context. I didn't feel much. I wrote this just to complain.
I really don't feel much about religion, I can't find the religious resonance in the film, and of course there is no emotional resonance.
