What you believe that can save you

"God and the devil are actually fair, they let you choose which side you want to cast." - "Exorcism" is different from other religious exorcism movies. The heroine's tolerance and persistence in suffering is amazing. In addition to subjective admiration there is a sense of crisis in belief in the real world.
Surrounded by demons, the heroine inevitably escaped into the church, standing in front of the God she believed in and praying humbly. However, God allowed the demons to torture his followers under his nose. In the end is the cruelty of the devil, or God's acquiescence.
This film questions not only God, but the huge suspicion and ridicule of today's scientific world - the leading factor in the final death of the heroine is actually the "science" we believe in. Because of the doctor's arrogance and rejection of the spiritual world, he is chaotic. The prescribed medicine made the heroine's mental state more disordered and sensitive, and eventually ended in death. The plaintiff's lawyer went to church every week before that, but when there was a religious event in the real world, he still chose to slam his beliefs. A grain of sand reflects a desert, just like the defendant's lawyer asked: Your Doesn't faith tell you what forgiveness and understanding are? Faith is just an excuse and sustenance for us to escape our sins, especially when faith collides with vital interests.
The reason why God rescued the heroine after she had suffered so much was probably only because he had witnessed too many betrayals. After all, for the gods who can only survive in the spiritual world of human beings, the beliefs of human beings are theirs. everything. As powerful as faith is, so powerful is the power of salvation. Sometimes we would rather believe that there are demons in this world than to believe in God's blessing.
Every time I watch a religious film, I can't help but think about the connection between the individual and the whole world, and what is my belief and what is my persistence?
Another religious film, "Sanctuary," stands out in its own right, in which all the thrillers express and express a question the director wanted to discuss with the audience: where do we go without faith? The understanding given by the director is that people without faith live like walking dead, the soul has no container, no attachment, and living is just a long torture. All the horror scenes are used to illustrate the horrors without faith. What modern people lack most is "belief". What we believe in is only the actual benefits and the facts in front of us, ignoring our original intentions and the hidden truth of the facts. We lack trust, we have no faith, we are just fame-seeking, insensitive zombies.
The director acted everything he wanted to express into terrifying scenes, and they also had this in mind—people who can understand the main content can get spiritual resonance; those who can't see the content can also watch the terrifying pictures and plot. Regardless of what we're guessing, all reviews of the film are responses to the director's work.
