I wasn't that much either. I just liked the actors. I didn't know much about the interviews in the first place. But the tension.....loved it.

The Spirit was OK. It seemed like it was trying to do too many things which were exaggerated or over top. Some of it worked well and some of it didn't. Still haven't seen Doubt yet. I should be getting it from Netflix today. |

I'm not sure where it is now other than they said they might change it but wouldn't offer exchanges.

One point though: it's easy to make a traditionalist look bad. The movie went far with that, unfairly. Otherwise, it's pretty good. |

I don't wanna hijack a movie thread, but why did you think they made traditionalists look bad? Or, how do you think they went to far?

Old nuns were nice. There's the stereotype that they just beat the little children with rulers all day. It's true they were stern...but they weren't that bad. |

As I said, I assume it is supposed to be. None of the few reviews I read about it ever mentioned that though, which I thought was weird. But yeah, I think it is. And your quote certainly supports that.

Did you read Roger Ebert's review of Doubt? If not, he thought the atmosphere it created jibed with what he grew up in.
