Exorcism

I prefer to define this film as a legal film rather than a horror film. The lawyers on both sides were very sharp. The religious lawyers caught the loopholes in the scientific diagnosis of Emily as epilepsy and neuropathy. The prosecutor's lawyers played a better role. How can there be devils in the real world. The most exciting part of the film is at the end, when the jury still thinks the pastor is at fault based on their common sense and is sentenced to 10 years in prison. But throughout the trial, they felt the pastor's concern for Emily, and put forward a suggestion: It is recommended that the time in prison should be counted from the time the pastor began to serve God.

There are still a lot of screams in the movie. For example, Emily is controlled by the devil, with a twisted expression. It feels so good to scream with the people next to you.

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.
