Accessible World presents Friday Night at the Movies, "Doubt" is this weeks
movie, September 4, 2009
News Wire:
There is no evidence. There are no witnesses. But for one, there is no
"Doubt".
Starring:: Meryl Streep, Philip Seymour Hoffman and Amy Adams
Director: John Patrick Shanley
Year: 2008
Rating: PG13
When the principal of a Bronx Catholic High School accuses a popular priest
of pedophilia, a young nun caught in between the feuding pair becomes
hopelessly swept up in the ensuing controversy. 1964, St. Nicholas, the
Bronx: The winds of change are sweeping through this tight-knit religious
community, and charismatic priest Father Flynn is doing his best to adapt by
revisiting the school's notoriously strict disciplinary practices.
Unfortunately Father Flynn's progressive ideas stand in stark contrast to
the longstanding beliefs of Sister Aloysius Beauvier, the iron-willed
principal, who believes that an oppressive environment of punishment and
fear is the only way to keep the student body in line. Suddenly into this
tempestuous environment appears young Donald Miller, St. Nicholas' first
black student. When hopeful innocent Sister James reluctantly reveals to
Sister Beauvier that Father Flynn and Donald have been spending an unusual
amount of time together in the church rectory, the unrelentingly righteous
headmistress begins a merciless crusade to reveal the beloved clergyman as a
lecherous child molester and have him permanently expunged from the school.
Yet despite her moral certainty that Father Flynn has committed such an
unspeakable transgression, Sister Beauvier has not a shred of actual
evidence to back up her audacious claim. Now, as Sister Beauvier and Father
Flynn enter into an epic battle of wills, the shock waves set into motion by
their explosive confrontation threaten to destroy one man's reputation and
tear apart the entire surrounding community.
