do you think that the weather was used to intensify scenes?

During the film, we were able to see the facial expressions of Sister A and Father Flynn as they were arguing over whether Father Flynn did or did not touch Donald Muller. How did the facial expressions of these characters in the film compare to the facial expressions that we thought about when reading the play? What were some of the similarities and differences? Did the filmmaker do a good job in creating the facial expressions for Sister A and Father Flynn?

Do you think the film conveyed that one side of the "argument" was right? If so which side?

Does Sister Aloysious actually care about her students or does she just want to see Father Flynn's downfall?

# data[].attributes.body
Throughout the film we see the wind getting stronger and more violent in the second half of the film. Does the wind have to do with a certain emotion seen in the characters or is it to signal tension in the topic of the conversation between Father Flynn and Sister Aloysius?

# data[].attributes.body
Now that you see how confident and certain Sister Aloysius is by her facial expressions, this makes me wonder if Aloysius either is so certain that she has no doubt (could end up hurting her) or is she just really good at putting on an act that makes her seem like she has busted Father Flynn?

# data[].attributes.body
Specifically referring to the strong gust of wind that lifts and swirls leaves around Sister Aloysius following her conversation with Mrs. Miller, do you think there is something unnatural about this gust of wind that is supposed to represent something symbolic? And overall do you think the strong wind throughout the play represents something uncontrollable because a lot of things were out of peoples control in this play?

# data[].attributes.body
Why do you think the additions / reductions from the original play were chosen for the movie? What do you think the writer was trying to accomplish? Does the film get the same message across that Shanley tries to portray?

# data[].attributes.body
After the added scenes of Donald looking sad after Father Flynn walks away from him in the hallway of the school and then comes back to comfort him after his books get knocked out of his hands does the relationship still make you uncomfortable? Do you think Father Flynn would have made the same effort to console another child if they were being pushed around? Despite being from the looks, a heartfelt scene, is a hug really an appropriate interaction between a child and a teacher/authority figure that is not a relative?

The play ends with Sister Aloysius saying, "I have doubts! I have such doubts!" Do you think Sister Aloysius is now having doubts about whether or not Father Flynn is truly guilty for the reasons she thinks he is? Was Sister Aloysius too certain about her assumption in order to take time to doubt it and think of possible alternative reasons for Father Flynn's behavior?

# data[].attributes.body
Was the reason Father Flynn left because he knew that Aloysius busted him and the allegations were true? Or was it for a different reason, maybe he thought his allegations would hurt the church or he just did not want to be in the same church with Aloysius? Lastly was this not clarified because readers should be left with "doubt".

# data[].attributes.body
Is Sister Aloysius hypocritical for lying about her actions to Father Flynn when she preaches about the order in the church and keeping the structure prior to Vatican II?

# data[].attributes.body
At the end, Sister Aloysius tells Sister James that she never actually called the other nun from Father Flynn's past. Since Father Flynn left after Sister Aloysius told him about her "call", do you think that he is guilty of something else and left because he thought Aloysius knew?

# data[].attributes.body
At the end of the story, Sister Aloysius confessed to lying about making calls to Father Flynn's past Churches. If you were in Sister James's position and get told this news, would you go and tell Monsignor Benedict about this or let it be? Also, does this ending of the play show a different side of Sister A in the sense that she is a liar and does not have all of this "certainty" inside of her?

# data[].attributes.body
If you were Sister A, would you continue to go to the great extents you did to remove Father F from your school to officially terminate his career as a priest/work in schools where he could possibly continue being a sexual predator or would you back off?
