In short, it's a game between atheists and theists. Since "Possibility" has been repeatedly emphasized at the end, it should not be brought into the perspective of "God exists" subjectively, so that we once regarded the prosecution lawyer as a villain. However, at the end of the film, it is also out of the "existence or not" debate. After all, from the perspective of the film, the priest is both justice.
From the perspective of the movie, the priest was released, because he was just following the victim's intention to help a devout believer to complete what she called "the redemption of the Virgin", so he was sentenced to "not guilty" .. ..well, he's a good guy at heart after all. But Emily's choice is itself an incomprehensible existence. The Virgin came just to make Emily bear it all with peace of mind? Choosing to continue to suffer can prove the existence of the spiritual world? ...to be honest, I think this episode is totally redactable...
The biggest difference between this film and other exorcism films is that its focus is not on the process or result of the "exorcism", but on the trial of the exorcist. Is it the narrowness and meanness of science, or the ignorance of belief... Here is what I said at the beginning, this trial is unfair after all. But after all, it’s just a movie, which is also the biggest difference between a movie and a documentary. The former not only needs to tell a story, but also needs to tell the story beautifully, vividly, and magically; while a documentary is more like an objective existence, it cares more State the facts.
At the end of the film, through Irene's tone, is it possible? But I don't think it's necessary for us to struggle too much. It's like some people are addicted to constellations and can't extricate themselves; some people think this is pure nonsense...Some things, you believe in, you don't believe in, you don't.
Since we have no right to criticize the piety of believers, why not reconcile with them? After all, many times, having faith is not a bad thing
Here I think of Emily's epitaph - Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling
