Doubt (movie)

A film Kyle invokes in his annotations on Charlie Munger — The Psychology of Human Misjudgment, quoting Sister Aloysius’s line “I have doubts! I have such doubts!” — connecting the picture’s theme of moral certainty versus genuine doubt to Munger’s catalog of misjudgment.

Context: Doubt (2008), directed by John Patrick Shanley from his own Pulitzer-winning play, stars Meryl Streep as Sister Aloysius, a nun who suspects a priest of misconduct without proof — a study in conviction held in the absence of certainty.

  • Script
    • SISTER JAMES: So you did prove it!
    • SISTER ALOYSIUS: I made no such call.
    • SISTER JAMES: You lied?
    • SISTER ALOYSIUS: Yes. But if he’d had no such history, the lie wouldn’t have worked. His resignation was his confession. He was what I thought he was. And he’s gone.
    • SISTER JAMES: I can’t believe you lied.
    • SISTER ALOYSIUS: In the pursuit of wrongdoing, one steps away from God. Of course there is a price.
