she bears the cross

Actually, this movie surprised me. I haven't watched a horror movie for a long time and I'm itching to find it on Thunder. You also know that such a film is still called exorcism, and I didn't have any hope. But the result was unexpected.

I'm not an atheist, and I don't believe in any kind of doctrine. It should be said to be an agnostic or a paranormalist. I have always believed in the supernatural world. So at the end, I thought more about it.

The final meaning is that Emily was chosen by God as a messenger as a proof to convey the truth of the existence of another world to the world, and she completely accepted God's will and would rather suffer to complete such a special mission. In the final judgment, people still choose to believe in the unknowable world.

If science cannot be falsifiable, it cannot be denied - who can deny the existence of supernatural phenomena? Besides, what is supernatural and what is natural? Is the nature defined by human beings the real existence of the universe? Are human beings and living beings that can be seen alone exist? Or with others?

Every answer will be surprising. The former is the loneliness that seeps into the bone marrow. The latter is awe of the unknown world.

I'm not a Christian, so can't comment too much. My grandmother believed in Christianity. When I was little, I read her songbook in church and asked her to teach me a song. After all this time, I still remember the lyrics and the melody.

He carried the cross and went to each of them.
His eyes looked straight ahead, without saying a word.
God's only begotten Son, was killed for us... I

checked it out, the song is called "He Carrying the Cross". Canaanite Poems 179.

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.
