Redemption, or self-denial?
Vickie 2022-04-20 09:02:00
The two stars are for Hopkins, once the "burning years". Self-denial is painful, difficult to accept, and often takes a lifetime to figure out. Hopkins murdered his daughter with the same motives as the murderer, so that the pain would stop tormenting the patient. I did this to save my daughter from suffering, and the murderer did the same. Are you also a murderer? The ultimate solution is that Hopkins admits his own fault, and no one can make a life choice for others - nobody can play the god. In the end, Hopkins has completed the redemption of himself, and the cross is the redemption symbol.

Agent Katherine Cowles: Dr. Clancy, before we go upstairs, with all due respect, I don't hold an ounce of confidence in the paranormal in general. I think it's a sham. I hope that's okay.
John Clancy: No problem at all. I feel the same about shrinks. After only one thing, your money. Give them your little finger, they'll take your whole hand.
Agent Katherine Cowles: Whoever said that has obviously never met a good one.
John Clancy: It was Sigmund Freud.
