It was well done film. Orlando Bloom is an amazing actor. Note : I do not give out compliments to just any actors. My standards are very high. However, when an actor performs exceptionally I feel compelled to share my opinion in the areas such as the IMDb sites.
The subject portrayed in the film made me cringe that the man who is a representative of god and his works can do these horrible deeds to the innocent children is just too horrible!
I like that Malcom was "big enough" man to forgive the monster/evil/devil for what he has done so many years ago. This monster ruined his life and set the heavy weight on the boy for over twenty-five years, even though the burden was not his fault!
Malcom's mother I didn't like at all, blindly following the establishment! She is the person that Malcom trusted most, his mom who should have protected him rather than the church she espoused to believe more than her injured son!
She chose to continue in her belief no matter what. What kind of a mother does that!
Of course we can make many excuses for her, but none are justifiable!
I do not forgive his mother!
And I could Never Ever forgive that priest or all of those catholic priests who'd been accused for those heinous acts! Never ever!
Those excuses that god will do the punishing is a B. S.!
Well dealt with a sickening issue!
Sadly, the other monsters in the real life would not follow what the film's character priest have done. But I hope there really is the special hell for them!! I really do!
