Watch Doubt For Free

Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

Admirable film.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

As far as I understand, this film is mainly about the fact that it is our human weaknesses that make us human. And in the end the character Meryl Streep - Sister Aloysius - "grows" from the standard, the embodiment of righteousness and rightness, the only true measure of absolute good and absolute evil into something "living", not ideal, not absolutely true, something doubting. But I enclosed the word "grows" in quotes not accidentally. After all, an open ending actually kills this idea. I can't say that I liked the movie. All the main characters are the classic of the stamp. Padre - of course, all such a caring, sensitive uncle, over-taking care of boys. And the most important circumstance that causes suspicion is long clean nails. Exactly these circumstances can't but undermine the confidence in his Holiness. The next classic hero is a conservative guardian of the rules; she is a strict teacher; she's Meryl Streep. Well, necessarily in every story there is a wicked witch, and everyone obeys her unquestioningly and terribly afraid of her. In contrast, there must be its complete opposite. This is a quiet, meek, naive sister, James, who faithfully believes in everything. Just an angel who descended from heaven. What we have is a suspicion of Flynn's father who drags the whole film without any hint of truth or lies. This work is more suitable for the stage, for the theater with its pathos, with lively emotions, with an element of participation. Moving his own play to the screen, the director turned the characters into walking dolls, stuffed with clichés and stamps. Instead of speaking openly and without subterfuge, the pastor and sister, speaking in a language of virtue that is incomprehensible to modern man. The result. The answer to the question whether or not to look depends on what you are looking for in the film. Someone will just fall asleep, and someone will be delighted, as, indeed, always happens.

It's just a wonderful movie with a deep meaning! Without loud words and direct speeches, the whole situation in the film is clear to us. Amazing acting by nearly everyone in the cast. The whole story is filled with twists and turns and painful moral questions. One minute, you belive the priest, the next, the nun. What is most disturbing, however, is the lack of proof to either side. As its title announces, "Doubt" isn't about certainty, but ambiguity. "Doubt," John Patrick Shanley's movie tackles the subject of pedophilia and paranoia in the Catholic Church. In 1964 at St. Nicholas in the Bronx, two characters faced. On one side is Sister Aloysius, an advocate of tradition and rigid authoritarianism, she stands firmly against change. Certainly the school's first black student, Donald , attracts her attention and becomes a victim. On the other side is a charismatic, youthful priest, Father Flynn, who rides on the winds of change. He favors a more open and friendly rapport with students that recognizes emotional needs, not just academic ones. As played by Hoffman, an actor seems friendly and reliable. My most favorite moment is a comparison of gossips with a ripped pillow, that all feathers will fly around the city and they will never be assembled. It is a powerful movie about a catholic priest and a black boy that get close to each other, throughout the movie you never hear the words rape'' or pedophilia'' . But from the way the story is being told and from Meryl Streeps character you understand what is going on, however this may not be the case hence the title 'Doubt', you aren't given a proper answer to the accusations which in all honestly could be false. " I Have Doubts, Such Strong Doubts!" What a powerful ending, I loved the way it ended, I love that the Nun was questioning everything she believed in. The heavy moral themes, racism, deep looks into Catholic morality, and complex relationships make this film very deep and it is not for everyone.

"Doubt" is a perfect example of a good period drama film. Directed by John Patrick Shanley, the film takes place in a St. Nicholas school led by Sister Aloysius. A crusade against Father Flynn is held after Sister tells Aloysius that Father Flynn might have too much personal attention with the school's only black student. Meryl Streep and Philip Seymour Hoffman did fantastic job playing their leading roles in "Doubt". Although being very much on point regarding the social issues faced by America in 1960-s - especially racism, this film may turn out to be too monotonous for some people who enjoy action more than the exercising of wit and charisma. Nevertheless, it is certainly worth watching, as the tension between the main characters takes a grip on the viewer's nerves from the very start and escalates throughout the plot as it swiftly moves forward.

I called my review "The decision" because it doesn't matter if a person doubts or not finally he/she makes a decision. And this movie showed us one concrete decision of one person.The movie is philosophical, It shows how people influence lifes of each other motivated only by some inside things. How can we decide for other people when we don't have any proofs? This question was the main one in my head after watching this movie. This movie made me think of influence on other people more than of doubts. All people doubt I think. We have the reasons for it because we have so many variants in life. But not all people show it. This is an example of some personal desire to prove the idea you have (I'm talking about Aloysius). Many sides of a person are shown in this movie and it's good to see and think of yourself. After watching it I had many questions to myself. I would recomend this movie to people who want to find questions but not answers. Personally for me I can't answer if Aloysius was right or not. And I can't answer some personal questions after it as well.
