I prefer to believe that she has severe schizophrenia than ghosts and gods

After reading the background information of the film, and the story of "Fight Club", it is not difficult to think that Emily is more inclined to schizophrenia. For example, it has been pointed out that people can speak in dual voices in certain situations. It can also be explained that speaking an ancient language, that is, she had the opportunity to come into contact with such a language. There is an explanation for human memory that as long as you have seen things, you will be remembered, and whether you can recall them freely depends on the area and depth of memory, but it is always remembered. To give a real example, my university roommate spoke English and Japanese in her sleep when she slept. The smoothness surprised everyone who heard it, but she herself had a headache for the exams of these two language subjects. Because she has different memory areas for these two languages, she can't speak when she is awake, but can use it freely when her subconscious mind is active.
The same is true for Emily. First of all, her parents are Christians, and her mother has taken a theology class. She has the opportunity to come into contact with such a language and subconsciously remember it. As mentioned earlier, assuming that if she suffers from schizophrenia, the so-called demon possession is the destructive personality and self-mutilation personality (there may be more than one split). When she manifests a destructive personality, she may rely on subconscious stimulation to speak languages ​​she does not normally speak.
Some people will ask, Emily was awake when she was tortured and knew that she was being tortured, so does anyone know clearly that she was in a dream when she was dreaming? I'm afraid a lot of people have had this experience. Who can say that when a personality splits, you can't clearly know that you are out of control?
In addition, Western exorcism often refers to Lucifer, but not in the Middle East and Asia, because the Middle East embraces Islam, and Asia is mostly Buddhist. This just shows that Emily's extreme behavior of faith caused her personality to split. As the ubiquitous gods of Western beliefs, gods and demons coexist, is it possible that Lucifer will only appear in the West?
Finally, this film explores religion from a judicial perspective. It has a special angle and is worth watching.

    It's not a good idea to watch this movie alone in the bedroom at night. The movie doesn't actually force the audience to accept a certain point of view. It stands on a middle line, with religion and science in one hand, and then expresses its own inclination. I like Ai. Lin's last remarks, we are not discussing facts, we are talking about a possibility! Finally, I want to talk about the acting skills of the girl who plays Emily!

    addendum. I didn’t read it carefully before and it feels good to relive it now! Take the trial as the main line, interspersed with various memories and exorcism scenes, and finally solve the problem in a peaceful way. The girl playing Emily is great! The last letter moved me.
