heard a friend once said that after watching a Thai ghost movie, he was very depressed for three consecutive months, and his psychological shadow has not been completely dissipated so far. I felt very funny at the time. To be honest, my attention was not focused on the movie he was talking about, but on his Mandarin with the accent of the land of abundance. Of course, I am also a little curious. I really want to see what a horror movie can be made to scare people for so long.



Finally, I got such an opportunity as I wished. The day before yesterday, I made a mess on Hulu's website (similar to the domestic Xunlei watch online movie website), and saw that some of the categories were horror and suspense-translated into Chinese, it should be called "The Exorcism" (The Exorcism) of Emily Rose). Because I was hit hard by another sequel to "Prehistoric Crocodile 2" before, this movie starred by LAURA LINNEY and claimed to be adapted from a true story attracted my attention from the very beginning. The plot of the story is very simple. It tells a girl with severe schizophrenia and epilepsy, suspected of being possessed by the devil, but was not rescued with the help of the priest's exorcism and died tragically. In the end, the priest was accused of "negligence to take care to death" and went to court. s story. The film is narrated in court with the lawyer played by LAURA LINNEY defending the priest Moore as the main line. When describing Emily's world, there are a few horrible scenes, but there are not too many scenes that make people stand up. To be honest, I didn't feel much psychological pressure after watching it. There are no subtitles in the movie, which made me bite the bullet, prick my ears, and watch the full play without any guesswork. What impressed me more deeply was the 3 o'clock in the morning in the story, which was the time when the black power came. Emily, the lawyer, and the priest were all attacked by the dark power.

Then, the magical thing happened in the early hours of the next morning. I felt like I was still lying on the bed in the room and watching TV, but the sound of the TV was a bit strange. I was thinking about getting up and checking what was going on. Suddenly a black shadow fell on me, and I immediately felt that I was so crushed that I couldn't move. I immediately realized the great danger, so I struggled desperately, my feet started to flop, trying to get rid of the burden on my body...At this moment, a voice rang in my head: wake up, hurry up wake up! ! !



Is this really a dream?



I opened my eyes immediately, and it was dark all around. My first reaction was to check the time and hurriedly grab the phone next to me. Dear comrade readers, can you imagine how much psychological pressure I was carrying? Thanks to God,,,, Fortunately, the phone time shows that it is already 5:30 in the morning, so I was relieved. After that, I couldn't sleep anymore, my head was very heavy, and my body felt very stiff as if I had been filled with lead. So I quickly opened the notebook and contacted MSN, the Chinese folks who were still in the afternoon with a 13-hour time difference, to share this horrible experience, and embolden myself by the way.



There is a scene in the movie where

Emily's soul comes to God and asks: Almighty God, why did you abandon me and make me tortured by the devil so painfully?

God replied: Because through you, people will believe in the existence of the devil and in my existence. You can choose now,

you can choose to calmly follow me into heaven, or you can choose to stay, but you will suffer more suffering if you stay.

Emily (like Liu Hulan awe-inspiringly before the execution) replied: I chose to stay.



Interested students can go to watch this film, and then answer such a question, do you believe in God?

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.
