This four-actor stage play, with excellent performances from Meryl Streep and Philip Seymour Hoffman, gave me a A movie viewing experience that I have never had before, even the ordinary actor who plays the mother of a black child is so good. Such an open, interactive, uncertain plot, DOUBT, the director's purpose has been achieved.
The film not only tells the object of doubt, that is, the truth of the facts; it also reflects the strength and courage of doubt, which is enough to make people turn their backs on their beliefs and step over the thunderstorm.
Doubt requires more courage, more power than faith; for faith is a resting place and doubt is infinite—it is a passionate movement. You may have read from my play that things are uncertain. And you may need to be convinced. Let go of this emotion. We must learn to live in a world full of uncertainty. The conclusion does not exist. Such is the silence and silence under the strong voice of our time. --John Patrick Stanley John Patrick Shanley
