Doubt
*"You have no right to act on your own. You have taken vows, obedience being one. You answer to us. You have no right to step outside the church."
*this is one of the scenes that i just can't stop thinking about. the hypocrisy of him pushing the church to modernize—to be progressive—throughout the film, only to use its patriarchal authority to benefit himself.
this film is magnificent!! with its incredible performance and compelling storyline, to me its one of those films that you just can't stop thinking about. in the end it leaves the audience with a lingering sense of uncertainty, with sister aloysius's doubt, we're left wondering if certainty itself is a dangerous thing.
