At the beginning of the film, Father Flynn's opening sermon said: The only surviving sailor after the shipwreck drifted with the lifeboat on the sea surface. For the next twenty days, the stars were bleak, the clouds were dense, and the sailor completely lost his direction. He could not verify whether his choice and decision on the first day were correct. There is still a chance. Father Flynn concluded: “There are now victims of a crisis of faith in the church who fully understand this story. I want to tell you: doubt can be as powerful and enduring as conviction, connecting us. When you are confused, you are not Lonely."

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

    If it is not called Doubt, but Salvation, film reviews will undoubtedly go to another branch. Suddenly I felt that not only was it better to never suspect a crime, but it was also more convenient to never suspect a love.

    Four and a half stars. Cinematographer Roger Deakins did his best to the end, each leading actor was a master of acting skills and had a series of golden sentences, but the religious meaning overshadowed the tension of the quarrel. Doubts is really a double-edged sword.
