LouHomey From my favorite movies..
danya-14565 A parish priest in one of the Catholic churches of the Bronx, Father Flynn reads a sermon about doubt. He is sure that every person has many doubts. Soon he will have to test his theses in practice. The parish school, where he teaches, is dominated by the stern sister of Aloysia. She is very strict and looks evil. Students are afraid of it. Suspicion is that Father Flynn, a kindhearted humanist with too long nails, is in close relationship with the only black pupil of the school, is launching his sister Aloysius to action. She is determined to drive the candle out of school. There is no direct evidence in the sister of Aloysia, but is not doubt a burden that any person who chooses an action for the glory of his ideals should bear?
allasuvorova-98488 Doubt is a terrible parasite. When a doubt penetrates the person's head, he slowly turns into a paranoid who sees only the creation of the brain. The film keeps in suspense and the view of the characters changes with a periodicity of five minutes. Doubt can be as powerful as confidence.This film is so captivating with its seemingly melancholy and unhurried action that almost two hours fly by unnoticed. For me, this film is a kind of phenomenon. The spectator is initially doomed to doubt.Actors are perfectly suited to their characters, and complement them. The incomparably talented Meryl Streep again demonstrates his skill, and surprises with his acting talent. Philip Seymour Hoffman plays a very uneasy character, the character of which changes regularly, it's always hard to play and the actors who play such characters are worthy of respect. And finally, Amy Adams she plays a naive and undetermined girl who has not been determined either in life or in a position that should be supported.In the end, this is a great film, by my standards - a masterpiece, as it shows people and life, shows psychology.
alyssaoconnell Sometimes I have a feeling I want to watch something deep and full of emotion, something that would give me to a bit of philosophical thinking. If you're craving to watch something to feel the same, 'Doubt' is definitely on the list! Moreover, that is a drama guys would enjoy watching too. It's not anything sweet or full of moments where you want to burst into tears. It is rather the one that would make you look inside yourself and ask, what do you do when you have doubt? and when you are FULL of doubt? what makes you feel doubt and why?Perhaps, part of the success is not just the feelings that you come across with while watching, but the cause of them (and this is not just all about the plot, its ideas and moral values). Part of the success is influenced but HOW the ideas are SHOWN. And there comes the time to praise Meryl Streep, Amy Adams, and Philip Seymour Hoffman's acting. I could not have imagined better actors for each of the 3 characters than these guys. No wonder the movie got so many awards. Best Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role, by an Actress in a Supporting Role, by an Actor in a Leading role, also Best Writing, Adapted Screenplay, Best Director, wow! That is a must-watch one!
shelep_natalia Recently I have watched the religious drama directed by John Patrick Shanley that is called "Doubt". It is a movie that depicts psychological condition of a person when he or she doubts and doesn't know whose side to take and whom to believe. Moreover, the plot is based on several themes as inequality, racism and so called changing of times, trends and relations. The drama presents the times of reformation and changing, generally speaking, these changes of time cause the change of behavior and relations may be viewed by means of 2 main characters, the principal of a Bronx Catholic High School, Meryl Steep, who is a presenter of old traditions and habitual way of life, and a popular priest (Father Flynn), Philip Seymour Hoffman, who realizes that time hasn't stopped and it is going on as a normal process of development. In terms of their struggle, the principle accuses the priest in pedophilia with his unique in his skin color student (Donald). The actors, who play in this movie, know how to do their works. They have managed to depict the atmosphere of those times, to express the conservative style changed by the modern society that is characterized, first of all, by equal relations. Philip Seymour Hoffman, as a priest, has an image of a kind man, who is ready to help giving a piece of advice or just to sympathize with heart-words, who can't help but give a hand. His play is awesome, his mimes, gestures and his capability of being able to remain calm when the situation is against him.The young nurse (Sister James), Amy Adams, has the same character's peculiarity as the priest. She is kind and helpful, but is one who is between two fires and under the influence of both. By the way, she has managed to express all those emotions that you feel when you really doubt, when you feel very deep insight the right answer, but some facts, gossips and influences of others are an example of how it may us confuse. Finally, I love the ending of the movie. Everything and everyone takes its or their own places that I liked most of all after being on the edge of my seat guessing how the priest will solve the problem as well as if the principal estimates the real harm of her actions and the future of Afro-American boy who is suffered by racism of his classmates.Overall, the best thing that is about the movie is that it is still relevant nowadays. Even these days the situations of racism, doubts, hesitation occur in daily life of everyone that underlines the value of this drama. If you are looking for something that makes you rethink some moments of life and analyze your psychological condition, this movie is undoubtedly for you.
