The plot of the film is simple and old-fashioned. A prospective priest did not believe in God, and then in the process of exorcism, he was persuaded by various facts and became a loyal servant of God.
The rhythm of the film is good, the atmosphere is also in place, and Antonio Holmkins' performance is in place as always. (There is a large section where he sits, his body is tied, and he acts only by expression and tone, like paying homage to the Silence of the Lambs) The film is meant to make you watch it patiently, but there is nothing worth remembering after watching it. It's good to watch to pass the time when you're bored.
The classic thing about the film is that there are no so-called miracles from beginning to end, which is also common to many religious films. It's just that the devil appears in front of the world, just like the proof by contradiction of mathematics (thinking about it carefully, it seems that it is not proof by contradiction). If I can't prove the existence of God, I will prove the existence of his opposite, and then you will believe it. This also made me understand why the Almighty God has not yet eliminated a small wave of reactionaries headed by Satan and others. It turned out to be raising bandits. God was so busy that he had time to answer the world one by one, and he was afraid that the world would no longer believe in their existence, so he reached a little tacit understanding with the devil. I don't have time to show up here. If you go to the devil, the effect will be the same. The world will believe in my existence. Demons are satisfied with killing people; gods are satisfied with their beliefs. Quite the essence of "Zizhitongjian".
