The movie "Doubt" starring Meryl Streep deals with suspected pedofiles


Before the academy awards next Sunday I decided to see some of the movies and talk about them if I thought I could relate with my issues. Oscar nominee Meryl Streep's performance in a rather unsympathetic part is still so powerful she is a good reason for seeing it. I also thought it was good in that it dealt with all the complications of suspecting molestation, with the very real possibility of being wrong, which I think happens in this movie. I think the nun accuses the priest of a serious crime which I don't think he committed. He may have been a priest with a gay orientation, but that does not mean that his gestures of affection toward boys meant that he was a pedofile. He denied the charges, but that accusation is so damning that he decides he has to leave that parrish before she ruins his career as a priest completely. At any rate, he was going to be miserable there locked in war with her over every little thing he does. Wow! That's enough drama for anyone!
