The film of John Patrick Shanley, with Meryl Streep and Philip Seymour Hoffman as protagonists, it has dazzled me. I really expected a lot from the actors, although little for an argument that, when the synopsis was presented, those in charge of promoting the film did not take too much effort. A drama that is more than what the posters and synopses suggest, and that envelops us in a reality that is already quite distant today, but that does not mean that it ceases to be real in many environments of North American society, since what today They are the result of what they were.
The film constantly revolves around doubt, as the title reveals. But it is not the doubt about whether or not he did what is suspected, but that the uncertainty reaches even larger, and more encompassing places. And it is that the doubt is about what seems to be true, about what should be true, about trust or not, about faith, doubting about believing or not, doubting about what is said and what is left behind. tell. There is a great cloud of uncertainties that surrounds the environments of the film, and imprisons each of the characters under an eternal "maybe", which inevitably ends up breaking someone.
An impeccable photograph, which portrays with great virtuosity, and a presumed veracity (and we cannot say that this is the way things have been) a complicated time of an even more complicated society. An impeccable direction, from a director whose name I did not know, and who now discover previous films that inspire little, such as «Alive "," Congo "," The waltz of the tulips", among others. «Doubt"Has been adapted by him, from a work written by Shanley, bearing the same title.
And what to say about the actors that is not known. Incredible both, being endowed with a talent that allows them to oscillate between roles like these, and others like "Devil wear's Prada", in the case of Meryl Streep, or "Capote" in the case of Hoffman. I must say that they are two virtuosos, whose impeccable work as always gives the film what different actors could not give it.
For those who have not seen the movie, I really recommend them.
