// Rain? No Rain? // - 14/11

ok, I thought it was going to rain…

It did. But it din even last 1/2 hour.

Went to the supposedly- class outing.

Ok… The Exorcism of Emily Rose was fantastic!!!

It is has an interesting plot, meaningful ending and the BEST part was the HORROR!!!

Supposedly to be a PG. But I think not many people can take it. Not as brave as me, mah.
Haha… made me think of someone who cuddled up, tried to cover her eyes and shut her ears. Pity man, missed the story. And she was surrounded by people lah. There was an empty seat beside me and I din even think of who “was sitting” there. (~ hee, juz kiddin’) Plus, in front of me got an empty seat also. Just nice, can enjoy w/o anybody blocking.

Let me “unveil” the story.

The movie started as a flashback…meaning Emily had already died. (as a result of a failed exorcism)

It mainly focuses on a court case between a counsel defending a priest alleged to have cause her death and a prosecutor on behalf of the people.

The HORROR part comes in when the description of Emily’s story was told by various witnesses.

And of course there was a disagreement because the parish community did not approve of the alleged priest testifying in court.

The movie is influential in the way that it made you believe that the cause of her death was because of demons. And not some illness.
Though at first I was paranoid about the priest’s story, the movie went on to make you believe it.

In the end, although a crucial evidence to win the case was lost, the counsel did her best in her closing statement.


It is a possibility that Emily was possessed by demons.
It is a possibility that some supernatural being touched Emily.
However, it is a fact that Father Moore loved Emily and tried his best to help her.
The prosecutor has presented facts that Emily had epilepsy, psychosis.
But…
Facts are mere facts. They do not allow for possibilities.

And of course it would be stupid if the case were to go a roundabout… that the jury would change 360- degree… just because of the counsel’s speech… w/o care for the hard facts presented in front of them.

Thus, the ending that the alleged priest was declared guilty but his sentence was the trial period is a win-win situation.

The audience are more than just a panel of jury…


After the movie, went to this Killiney Road restaurant…bakery…wadeva you call it, to eat. Food was cheap and nice… Yea! Got a free meal. ( like real!) The only drawback was double dinner.
