The movie is called The Exorcist. The book uses catchy words like "landmark classic". Because the previous horror movies always love to make a fuss about vampires. From vampires to possession, it is also a return to the spirit of humanism.
I used the mini TV DVD set borrowed by my classmates, overcame the occasional screen jams, and finally struggled until the DVD time reading came to the end. The black and white screen, the mini screen, and the continuous use of the fast-forward key lead to a fragmented plot, and there is no joy in being frightened at all. All of this is in the primary stage of socialism. So I confidently asked the boss for a theory, but the boss quickly changed the movie, and I played a belly draft and it didn't come in handy. That's the scribbled impression I got when I first saw The Exorcist.
Then, when I was linking from one movie about dismembering a madman to another, I occasionally clicked on the exorcist's page, so the old love was revived.
The Exorcist is the most serious horror film I've ever seen. Strong realistic style, even more like a documentary. I think it probably comes from the fact that the film is based on a true event in Maryland.
In this 2-hour film, there are too many scenes that have nothing to do with horror, making it impossible to analyze the causes and consequences of this sudden possession incident, and this seems to indicate a random and accidental unfortunate fate. Avoid impotence, save impotence.
Incompetence is the source of human fear. The helplessness of not being able to control one's own destiny gave birth to countless religious beliefs. Human tombs are precisely the birthplace of ghosts and gods.
This film is about such an exorcism event in which maternal love, science, and religion all failed together. In this lengthy elaboration, despair after incompetence is everywhere.
I've seen another movie called Exorcism, the same style, the same subject matter, the same creepy, and the difference between them and other gory movies is that there's a chilling sense of realism. Because beyond the known world, there is an infinite unknown. I'm afraid this is not something that staunch communists can turn a deaf ear by posing as atheist.
So when the 12-year-old girl in the film was possessed by the devil and made abnormal behaviors such as her mouth full of rudeness and urinating in public, the heroine sought help from modern medicine, and after numerous brain tomography scans, no lesions could be found. Medicine is helpless. Believing in science does not solve problems. The girl's weird behavior was upgraded to a supernatural level, and it also included activities with a grim face and a 360° free rotation of the head, which greatly increased the difficulty index. It is worth mentioning that in the film, the little girl suddenly bowed her body, climbed down the stairs swiftly, and spat out a mouthful of blood on the screen. It was a shocking creation in 1973. The scene where Kaye and his like stumble down the stairs in the grudge today is also the fruit of this idea.
After her confidence in science collapsed, the unreligious heroine turned to a priest. It's a pity that even the master's waiter had never heard of it. This was a new experience for him, like a surgical intern who had never had surgery experience before suddenly standing under a shadowless lamp, but he didn't know how to cut the knife. At this time, empiricism prevailed. An old priest who returned from digging graves in Iraq, like a savior, seemed to be full of wisdom and experience. Moreover, he also had clinical experience in African exorcism. He sprinkled holy water on the devil, The bible that kept reading, the arrogant devil was suddenly in pain, and it seemed that Pandora's box could be opened again.
But those who are devout to God have miscalculated. All this is just the magic barrier before the cunning devil can deliver a fatal blow. The old priest died in this illusion. This is not simply a high-level generalization that can be summed up in the way that the Tao is one foot taller and the devil is one foot taller, because the devil is right in front of you, and God is just a vague concept in the mind. As the devil said: I'm just here to humiliate you.
All belief in science and in the embrace of God has been ruthlessly humiliated. There is no savior in the world, behind a small patch of light is a huge darkness. The priest is dead, but the devil is sitting at the foot of the bed with his eyes scorning all living beings, showing a sly smile, your stupid faith can't even save you. What a shock this should have caused in the Christian world.
In the end, only the opening sentence "Use magic to control magic". Justice no longer triumphs over evil, only the strong bully the weak.
