Review of Doubt (2008) by Cameron M — 03 Nov 2014
" 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. Just fantastic!
A fantastic cast, which then led to fantastic ending which deserved each of them a Golden Globe.
Its a powerful movie about a catholic priest and a black boy that get a bit to 'close', throughout the movie you never hear the words 'Molestered' or 'pedeophile' but from the way the story is being told and from Meryl Streeps character your lead to believe that, that is whats going, 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.
Throughout the movie your given clues which I guess your ment to pick up on and deduce and come to your own decision, a couple of clues your given is that the priest played by seymore-hoffman has long nails which is very much emphasized throughout the movie which could suggest that the priest is gay which of course in his job and at that era that would be unexceptable!
The second clue is that when Streep is speaking to the young black boys mother she's saying that the boy gets beaten by his father for it, and would be beaten and picked on in school usually. It doesnt say specifics into what she is talking about but again you are left thinking that shes knows about the supposedly 'abuse'; this movie is fantastic and is written very well and is mesmerizing!
I'll leave it to your own mind as to what you think! Enjoy! :).
