A little superficial view, pure nonsense and questions, I hope smart friends can help me answer

In terms of plot, production, and performance by the actors, this 73-year-old film is actually better than most of today's horror films, and the special effects are even better than many Chinese and foreign bad films this year, which is really amazing. As far as horror movies are concerned, if you have seen so many horror movie routines today, this movie can get a score of 6.5. But it must have been a decisive 8 points in that year. And this film doesn't seem to be just a simple exorcist horror story. Although it is a bit esoteric and I didn't understand it very well, there are things in it that he may deserve a higher score.

This is not an evaluation, just my superficial opinion, it seems to have spoilers, so. . . It's alright, don't look down

Family words, pure nonsense

Just turn it off if you don't like it

1. Someone saw the use of asking the soy sauce detective before.

The soy sauce detective played a role in promoting the plot. It was precisely because he discovered the connection between the stairs and the girl's window, as well as the discovery of clay sculptures, that he went to the actress's house to inquire and investigate, and finally revealed the director's death and the girl's death. related. Only then did the heroine decide to find someone to exorcise the evil spirits.

In fact, other films have made it very clear about its role in ideology and society, so I will not talk nonsense.

2. Why did the girl kiss the last priest at the end?

In fact, I think this girl still has a certain memory in the trance.

Her mother said that the girl had completely forgotten about that time, but the girl saw the priest's neckline and remembered that the two priests who sacrificed themselves and saved her had the same neckline, so she couldn't help kissing it, expressing Grateful.

3. Are there any supernatural forces intervening?

I read an article on a purely psychological level before. I think he said it very well. In fact, I think there are supernatural powers, that is, there are "ghosts". Of course, it is a matter of opinion whether this film actually has ghosts or not. It can be said that it has or not. However, it is easier to think that there is than nothing, and it does not take so much brainpower to think about it.

Here are the questions I want to ask:

1. What does it mean to stop the clock?

2. What was the little sculpture that Father Merin dug up at the beginning?

3. I don't know why the black dog and the white dog fight with the two little boys in the hospital. I always feel what kind of meaning it has.

The Exorcist quotes

  • Dr. Barringer, Clinic Director: It looks like a type of disorder that you rarely ever see any more, except in primitive cultures. We call it a somnambuliform possession. Quite frankly, we don't know much about it except that it starts with some conflict or guilt that eventually leads to the patient's delusion that his body's been invaded by an alien intelligence, a spirit if you will.

    Chris MacNeil: Look, I'm telling you again and you'd better believe it: I'm not about to put her in a goddamn asylum! And I don't care what you call it! I'm not putting her away!

    Dr. Barringer, Clinic Director: I'm sorry.

    Chris MacNeil: You're sorry! Jesus Christ, 88 doctors and all you can tell me with all of your bullshit is...

    Dr. Barringer, Clinic Director: There is one outside chance of a cure. I think of it as shock treatment. As I say, there is an outside chance...

    Chris MacNeil: Will you just name it, for God's sake? What is it?

    Male Doctor: Do you have any religious beliefs?

    Chris MacNeil: No.

    Female Doctor: What about your daughter?

    Chris MacNeil: No, why?

    Dr. Barringer, Clinic Director: Have you ever heard of exorcism? It's a stylized ritual in which rabbis or priests try to drive out the so-called invading spirit. It's pretty much discarded these days, except by the Catholics who keep it in the closet as a sort of embarrassment. It has worked, in fact, although not for the reason they think, of course. It was purely the force of suggestion. The victim's belief in possession helped cause it. And just in the same way, this belief in the power of exorcism can make it disappear.

  • Father Dyer: Listen, if you ever go up there again will you take me along?

    Astronaut: What for?

    Father Dyer: First missionary on Mars.
