The Movie Doubt Essay

The film Doubt takes place in the 1960’s surrounding a religious school and the characters. The Characters are Sister Aloysius, Father Flynn, Sister James, and Donald. Sister Aloysius is the head Nun of the school and is very strict. Sister James is another Nun who is a soft spoken and kind teacher who Sister Aloysius try’s to shape her into a stricter teacher. Sister James one day send one of her student, Donald, to Father Flynn to only notice that when he returns he has the smell of alcohol in his breath. When she tells Sister Aloysius, Sister Aloysius then makes it her quest to prove that Father Flynn had sexual influence on Donald.
I enjoyed this film very much. The story line was very interesting and kept me at the edge of my seat the whole time. At no point did I lose interest or dozed off when watching this film. I liked how well Meryl Streep played the role of Sister Aloysius. The whole time I only saw her as Sister Aloysius and no other character from different films Meryl has done. I absolutely loved how the movie was produced. The setting fit in so well with the story and the plot was very stable and consistent. I never felt like the story drifted into unnecessary parts or unneeded points.
This is one of my favorite parts because I felt like that was one of the first times that the story had connected and explained a lot of what happened in the film so far. My second favorite part of the film is when Sister Aloysius calls for Donald’s mother to come in and see her. I like this part of the film because we learn more about Donald and his life outside of the school. My third favorite part was when Sister Aloysius and Father Flynn got into an argument. This is another favorite part because the argument reveals that Father Flynn is hiding something by the way he reacted when Sister Aloysius tells him he spoke with a Nun from his past
