A good story. Sadly for Dawson, so many obstacles for whenever he tried to do good; easy to see why he was so conflicted. He had a good heart....I was saddened with the bittersweet ending, but realistic. If you don't want a spoiler, don't read V. Francia's 4 star comment**** morals.

Veronica, do you know what a spoiler is! That's why I never read comments before the movie.

Anyone that calls this movie "very dated" must be very young. It was made in 1998....the story goes back to the 70's, maybe too far back for some. I though it was a good story, sadly Dawson fought some demons along the way.... It takes a special person to want to join the priesthood; he wanted to do more and was shut down at every attempt to do good, a good heart. This was a good story, albeith bittersweet.

This man had so many morals it is unbelievable. his heart is big and the "church" squashed him. So he ventured out into the real world and it squashed him as well. He turned back to God and is hopefully at peace. But, he does not Know that he has a child out of the time that he ventured out into the REAL world.

The movie is not dated - it's only 13 years old. Movies have been made for over hundred years, so a 13-year-old film is not dated.

he went from a heartless and soulless institution to a life filled with heartless soulless people without character, sex without intimacy and the betrayal by all. women who had nothing to offer other than easy sex. he professed to want to help the poor but never did; neither in or out of the church.
he never finds love or a friend or anything worth believing in.
so he hides in the monastery - sad, barren life.
