The girl's acting skills are good!
The western world has been ruled by religion for a long time, and countless scientists who believe in natural science and try to tell the people are ultimately punished by the church.
However, in today's society, people have the right to choose their own Belief or choose not to believe. In this film, when the two sides confront each other, the law (or the people) finally chooses science.
Very much agree with the final statement of the female lawyer, you can have no belief, choose not to Believe in the existence of God or the devil, but the supernatural still exists in a sense. After all, there are more unknown things than known things to human beings.

The Exorcism of Emily Rose quotes

  • Ethan Thomas: So, the judge thinks we should offer your client a new plea agreement. Apparently she thinks the community would be better served without this trial.

    Erin Bruner: How do you feel about it, personally?

    Ethan Thomas: My job is to represent the interest of the people, make an effort to be objective.

    Erin Bruner: Hm. I ask because I know you're a churchgoer. Now you're sent to prosecute a man of God.

    Ethan Thomas: Your priest broke the law and a young girl is dead. If he's a man of God, then personally I think he's even more subject to the laws of moral behavior and punishment. If it were up to me he'd get no deal at all.

    Erin Bruner: What about forgiveness and compassion? Isn't that part of your creed or does that just get in the way of your work?

    Ethan Thomas: If you have compassion for your client, counselor, you'll persuade him to accept this: Charges reduced to reckless endangerment, 12 months in a county jail, reducible to 6 plus probation if he can stay out of trouble. Somehow I expect he can manage that, but please understand me... if he refuses I will seek the maximum.

  • Emily Rose: I choose to stay.
