I have such... DOUBTS

"Doubt can be a bond as powerful and sustaining as certainty."

Sister Aloyius is a mysterious character, don't you think? A monster, at first sight,  but then as you get an access to her inner, she seems to be less certain and strong as everyone thinks. Loneliness and emptiness rest in the heart of this woman. As may appear in the movie, the nun Aloyius Beauvier isn't heartless nor mean, she has compassion. That becomes clear when she helps the older nun, or how she desperately wants to help the boy, Donald Miller, not for her own benefit because when you think of it, she has always done everything for someone else. Even when it doesn't seem likely, in the deepest of her heart she meant to do good for others. But she still remains, after Miranda Priestly of course, the
Dragon Lady.

Doubt isn't in my favourite movies of all time list, although I found it a very good constructed  thriller. The reason I am posting this is because it is something very interesting to talk about. You know what I mean, the groundbreaking: "Did he do it?!"-question. 

Before attacking this question, I want to speak a little more about the Dragon Lady, sister Aloyius. She has such a mysterious past. She had a husband, a life, maybe children. What happened, what events took place that made her make the drastic decision to become a nun? Nobody knows and she seems to have locked her past and secrets somewhere very deep inside of her and decides that absolutely nobody may have the key to her soul. She lets no one in. Until the end, where she breaks, fearing that her certainty wasn't as certain as she always told people. Fearing doubt. Has it something to do with her life? Or hasn't it? Nobody knows, it's your decision to make up who or what you believe. 

After all, maybe they are both right and wrong. Maybe some things happened to be concerned about, but maybe father Flinn is just a good person with a generous heart and has become a priest for a reason. There is nothing specific to confirm the accusations made by the nun, but along the movie you still think she might be right. It's like being in a washmachine: you're being turned upside down. Yes he did, no he didn't, yes he did, no he didn't, and at the end, you're so confused. You don't want to believe sister Aloyius in a way, but in another, you still do. Or maybe you don't. ... You have doubts. 

The strenght of this movie? Its ability to make you doubt as much as sister Aloyius did.
