Love these pics 😀 Especially the Father Karras cartoon! Really cute! 🙂 Who designed it? Anyone know?
I know, I find it very confusing. Especially in the background, I noticed other people who seem to appear towering over both Ellen and Jason, eg, a woman on a bicycle and a man who walks past them.
The point I was making and the majority agreed with me is that there is no call for bringing in personal questions, when we are on this site to discuss a movie. So, it’s sorted now.
Thanks everyone for the back-up.
Thanks you guys for your understanding on my point of view. 🙂 I didn’t expect an interrogation everytime I came on the forum! So thankyou again!
My childhood fear of Father Karras turned into something else, and now I love him to bits! I wouldn’t call it obsession 😛 but I find him so sexy and handsome. His brooding gets to me even to this very day.
Also, I’m so sad that Jason Miller died. I only found that out recently and it really upset me. But he will forever be Damien to me and lots of other people, I think.
Long live Father Karras
Thanks Ryan :), but I’m finding it quite difficult to ignore this sort of talk from a complete stranger who thinks they can re-write my whole life-story with abuse and fear of my own father!
Different people are scared by different things. What a person may find terrifying, another may find hilarious. It’s nothing to do with anything personal, as I said it never entered my head about the abuse. It was Father Karras himself who scared me.
For example, on the head spinning scene, I laughed at Regan’s head spinning, but the close-up of Father Karras when he says “amen” really got to me. But that doesn’t mean my life is shit and full of abuse, and it’s got nothing to do with never knowing my own father either, so can you tell me what your problem is with the whole thing????
And can someone just get back to the original idea of a forum and discuss it properly. Maybe answer my first question about Father Karras, rather than acting as a psychiatrist and pulling apart my personal life?
Abuse never entered my head when I watched the scene. It wasn’t Father Karras hitting Regan that bothered me, in fact, I don’t blame him. I would have done the same for everything she was putting him through. I know she was possessed and everything, but that’s not the point. The whole thing got to him and that is a natural reaction what he made. Even before that end scene, it was Father Karras’ very presence that scared me, so it has nothing to do with abuse. It was the fact that he himself had to resort to being possessed that scared me and the fact he sacrificed himself for her, who led him to do it anyway.
And, I never even knew my father to be abused by him and I know for a fact that he would never even do anything like that, so you can’t just assume when you watch a movie. It’s wrong to even suggest it.
My religion has nothing to do with it and why would you want to understand what is going on in my mind? You’re supposed to be on here to talk about the movie, not delve into people’s minds. The things you mentioned never entered my head. What is going on in your mind to ask a total stranger those things? I’m really shocked by that.
And besides, if I wanted to see a psychiatrist, I would talk to Father Karras.
I was wondering because an action figure of Father Merrin seems familliar.
I’m not too sure who I would want as an action figure really…
Firstly, I’ve never been abused, by anyone, also no fear of men! And secondly, what has abuse got to do with liking a CHARACTER from a movie? I know loads of people who admire Father Karras and they have never been abused and neither one of them has a fear of men! Why are you on this site if you’re going to pick faults with what people say? You shoudn’t just throw accusations around when I asked a general question. You might think I’m weird or something for watching the movie, but what does that say about you to think up a question like that to ask a stranger?
