I’m with you there Fadda. Dubbed or not any 14yo would figure out what was happening I don’t care what decade it was. I mean didn’t she read the script? LMAO. She knew what it was but was probably pressured into “believing” she didn’t to draw away negative attention towards having a young person in this “pornographic” scene. The presence of this scene in the Exorcist has always fascinated me. I mean even then there were Kiddie Porn laws on the books and its pretty hard to believe that radical US Christians that in some states prosecute people for up to 30 years in jail for a mere six non-sexual nudes of children could stand for what Linda did in this role!
Are phantom smells only sensed by the person being possessed or everyone? It could be tangible evidence of “supernatural” but only if its smelled by more than one witness. Also, smells are caused by chemicals in the air called esters. If the smell was of something real an air sample could had been collected and analysed to determine the source of the odour.
LOL. No need to be behind the camera in this case. Once the shot is setup its done. Nothing much can cause such a large camera to move or wobble unintentionally.
Why am I starting to think more and more that reading the book was intended as a prerequisite to see the film?
Very good demonstration of how far consumer grade computer animation has come. Its getting to the point where anyone can create an image that leaves one wondering whether or not its real.
Regan, I’m yet to see a shred of scientific evidence that the phenomena is real. As with most of this stuff, its all heresay from fantasy prone people. No scientific data to support anything supernatural and without a supernatural element it become a psych case rather than a case for theological concern.
As for Hell, many different religious have answers, but no proof as to what hell is, who goes there and why. I believe that some so-called theologians like Fred Phelps would go so far as to say all humans are condemned to hell. Makes one wonder why bother go to church. At the opposite end of the spectrum is the more positive view that hell does not exist and everyone goes to heaven. I think the second view is more productive, although equally unproven.
Man that is a great find! Once again, its what the “devil” said from a theological perspective that is most interesting. The idea that he cannot know confessed sins for instance. Its all very interesting ideas, but unfortunately theological ideas are in no way proof that the possession was genuine.
I did find it interesting that priest noted that the woman was vomiting great quantities despite not having eaten. It said she could not take in solid food and was being fed intravenously. This is very reminiscent of Regan in the movie that was on some kind of feeding-tube without any explaination given. I find it odd too that Regan vomited such large quantities to begin with, but even stranger if she was fed intravenously. Where did the vomitus come from? Was it ectoplasm? Why was no effort made to analyse its content?
