The first confrontation scene between the late, great Phillip Seymour Hoffman and Meryl Streep. -- I do not own this film. It is owned by Miramax. They will probably slather it with ads. As is their right...
Phillip is such an amazing actor. Meryl Streep has always proven her self to be consistent with her major roles in the movies shes in. And well, a beautiful red head as a nun lol love it!
Who who else liked the way she grabbed the sugar (which she hates) from the desk and slams it in the trash. Pretty incredible the amount of symbolism, undertones, and double entendres throughout this movie. She sees his “sweetness” for what it is, a wolf in sheep’s clothing. A grown up boy who is taking liberties and infiltrating the young boys because he is in a position of power. She uses her position to instruct, protect, and discipline. It’s never popular, just like someone who rejects sugar, and he comes in wanting to be mister popular with long fingernails and wanting to secularize the church.
Bullshit…..I spent many years in a Catholic school and I don’t know of a single nun who wouldn’t have given everything to protect us. You are painting an entire group of people with a very very wide brush. Tone down the ignorance.
