Faith of the Exorcist
Maia 2022-04-19 09:01:45
Chinese people lack faith, so naturally they don't feel very afraid of these kinds of ghost movies. Chinese ghost movies are all about ghosts in past and present lives, and they don't know much about foreign demons. The devil is the opposite of angels, the opposite of God, and the opposite of people's beliefs. In this kind of situation that the priest is no match for the devil, I think Westerners will be very panicked and even lost when they see it. The differences in Chinese and Western cultures result in different understandings of films. In the play, the 19-year-old girl named Aimee, until she had a serious illness, everything changed. She was haunted by bizarre, terrifying hallucinations throughout the day, and even became delirious and insane. It must be rescued by the religious method of exorcism. Whether science, medicine or religion, it is difficult to resist the conquest of the devil. The devil is to convince people that there is a devil in this world. Gaia, Lucifer, no matter who the devil is, like God, let people believe in the devil. This is a crisis of faith. It seems that the soul will not be rescued but is constantly being eroded. While feeling repressed, on the contrary, he is more convinced of his beliefs. Since the devil exists, God exists even more.

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.
