gift of faith

When I saw those who sacrificed their lives for the country, for the nation, for
freedom , although I was shocked when he was found guilty.
This is a story that has nothing to do with religion or fact.
I am reluctant to discuss whether God or demons really exist, whether Emily really has a lucifer in her body, or whether it is correct that the prosecution lawyers say that Emily is just suffering from psychosis.
I just wanted to say, I am very touched. Even if this may just be a shocking drama directed by defense lawyers and judges under the hint of the archbishop. However, this drama blew me away.
Because, I see faith.
Emily, Father, Erin. They have no doubts, steadfast, guarding their beliefs.
For this belief, Emily is willing to continue to endure the torment of the devil, and does not discuss whether the devil really exists, but what we see is that Emily gave up the opportunity to free herself in order to let the world see miracles. At least she thought so. So she is great.
Father, for this belief, he violated the will of the archbishop again and again, testified in court, and told the story of Emily to the world, even though the newspapers mocked and "slandered" the priest and the devil, claiming that all this is nothing but It was a farce, but the priest still spoke with such a deep gaze and such a calm tone. What if he lives in his own little world of YY? For the justice of this small world, he was willing to give up everything he had. Moreover, what if he made a mistake in judgment? Who can deny that he truly saved Emily's life.
And Irene, the female lawyer who was indifferent and arrogant at first, just to win the lawsuit, this new star in the lawyer world who once defended a murderer to get him out of the crime, when she announced that she had entered the lawyering profession, she The female lawyer who has sold her soul to the devil, but as things develop, as she gets closer to the "fact" step by step, the balance of justice begins to tilt. In spite of the archbishop's objection, she asked the priest to testify in court, giving the world a chance to laugh at herself by laughing at ghosts and gods. The last thing she said in her defense statement, she said, I admit that I have defended guilty people many times to exonerate them, but please believe me, Father, he is absolutely a good man.
I don't know if it's true that she found the necklace with her name engraved on it in the snow; don't know if she actually wakes up at 3am every day, the time when Jesus is said to die and the devil wakes up; no Know if the doctor who finally won the battle against himself and is ready to testify for the Godfather really died at the hands of the devil. None of this matters.
The important thing is that I saw her, in order to fight a lawsuit that was impossible to win, in order to fulfill the priest's desire - a desire just to prove to the world that God exists, a desire only related to faith - abandoned The "most important" things for a lawyer - reputation and wealth.
The indifference in the eyes of the prosecutor's lawyer made me see the annihilation of faith. He's just a machine, a machine that works perfectly.
The final jury verdict seems to demonstrate the powerless reality that reality will always triumph, despite our beliefs.
I wanted to watch a horror movie. Unexpectedly, I saw something even more shocking. Amen.

    In fact, this is not a horror movie in the traditional sense. I thought it was a low-budget, small-scale production, but I didn't expect it to be good. The court debates were great. Laura Linney's performance is much better. It's also a gimmick based on true events. I believe in the existence of demons. Everyone has their own demons. 4.5

    This film explores the two sides of science and religion. Although the director is biased towards religion, isn't that the way people are. For things that cannot be explained or unknown, one must always seek an answer. Science can't, then religion can explain it. And morality swings between the two, or the existence of self-deception.
