425456, I'll talk more later, but it's great. Posted by Frank Longo, Tue Jan-06-09 01:25 AM
A bit heavyhanded, but great.
I have some things to add to the convo with mrhood, lol. I have no CLUE how you got that interpretation, due to the fact that
SPOILER
it's Father Flynn's doubts, NOT Sister Aloysius's, that remove him from the church. How then how Aloysius be justified by the author? Also, the final line of the play and film is underlined in the film with a big pullback... Sister Aloysius's doubts reverse on her, and she has doubts about her doubts, which haunt her. Each character who follows their doubts suffers to some degree in the play.
You could even say since Father Flynn got a promotion by leaving, he WINS. But then we get into Catholic politics, another issue entirely.
END SPOILER
So yeah, it's great. I can't wait to write about it.
