This movie reminds me of a passage from the Bible: "God said to people, I heal you so I hurt you, I love you so I punish you." It sounds contradictory, just like this movie, Emily believes in God, loves God, why still Want to suffer such pain? Why did the Virgin let her choose when she came to enlist her to continue suffering to alert the world or get the liberation of the soul instead of healing her directly? I am not a Christian, but I respect all religions, whether it is Christianity, Catholicism or Buddhism and Taoism. Regardless of the form of expression of any religion, what kind of country it belongs to, I believe that it is at least for good and its original intention is good. (There have indeed been some religious tragedies in Chinese and foreign history, but in the final analysis, the problem is not the religion itself, but the authorities, popes, reformers, etc. who use religion to achieve a certain purpose and misinterpret the doctrine. These people borrow This holds power and enslaves the people, but obviously this is not the will of God or the will of the Buddha. I think this is an inevitability of historical development and a manifestation of the game between human nature and power.) I believe these have been from thousands of years. The existence that has been handed down will never be groundless and meaningless. Whether you believe in or not, good and evil are always there. The only question is how to choose. Some people say that God let Emily die to make people believe in the existence of the devil and thus regain the belief in God? If this is the case, isn't God very vain? I try to understand this problem from a religious perspective (not a secular perspective). First of all, Emily is possessed by a demon, why doesn't God bless her? In theology, it is believed that the more pure and beautiful the existence is, the more evil will be intolerable. God’s love for the world does not mean that he will help everyone who believes in him. It will only give you faith and help you strengthen. If it is so magical, there will be no atheists in this world, and belief is a feeling, a subjective experience, it is difficult to explain to others, just as people say that there is no belief or no, and the Bible also says : "Those who believe in me are saved." Secondly, why did God not save Emily and heal Emily? In fact, I think this question itself is a false proposition, because it depends on what stand you are looking at. From a secular standpoint, Emily was possessed, failed the exorcism, and died in pain. It sounds miserable, let us stand on the theological stand, Emily was possessed, and the exorcism failed, but she never gave up her faith for a moment, so she saw the Virgin, she could liberate the soul, but She chose to continue to suffer. She is like a true saint. She used her experience to tell the world that both demons and God exist. She is not without choice, but she chooses I chose faith. Didn't God redeem Emily? No, I think Emily has got the salvation she wants. In theology and religion, the body is temporary, short-lived, and short-lived. She has obtained the eternal life of the soul with a senseless spirit. Death is fearful and painful in the world, but in the hearts of believers, it is only the death of a body, not a soul. No one loves death, but it does not mean that we have to fear it and grieve for it. Just like Confucius singing with a drum, death is not the end, it is just another beginning. In other words, death is not only the end of a physical body, but also the re-start of a soul. This movie is very religious, but for atheists and non-religious people, it may not be very attractive. It is not a horror film in the traditional sense. It is more religious and metaphysical, which makes people have something Thinking is meaningful. Some people say that this is a missionary movie, which seems to be understandable. Because to be honest, this movie is not terrifying, it is more about rebutting whether the priest has the plot of manslaughter, which leads to the story of Emily. Regarding such a film adapted from real events, I respect Emily from a religious standpoint. Finally, please let me quote a sentence from the Bible: "God values sacrifice."
