God… Going over it again pulls my heart strings. Thinking of Miller’s last moments; It was the most intense, pure scene I’ve ever seen on screen. And things that wash over me a bit from only looking at the basic plot; Karl did love Regan. I remember this for fleeting moments, but I don’t give it much of a chance to sink in. And Merrin! The way he spoke to Chris. And Karras. And the man with chickpea in the corner of his lip. Touching. You took the words from my mind about Regan acknowledging Karras’ sacrifice through kissing Dyer. He was a surrogate. No charecter ever stole my heart as Karras has. Miller’s performance kicked off my current path. Found the book, dear Bill Blatty, and what I want to do in life. Write. Even if it’s nowhere near the same quality. I choke up at the final scene everytime… I think Bradbury had said it to Blatty. That it’s a love story. Now I MUST watch TNC because that is quite possibly going to tie with Exorcist. Talk about grenades and Shakespear and chicken shit. Oh my. I’m in love already 🙂
Good info is good to have. Whether we agree or not, it’s nice to hear the different camps of a topic. I’m not Catholic. I’m not about to be converted to anything. I don’t agree, but, as far as I’m concerned, Harm no one, and do what you will. I look forward to your upcoming posts, as always. 😉
And, furthermore, your Depeche mode and Cure are stuck in my head. First time I listened, I couldn’t catch the words so I looked them up. Beautiful, indeed. 🙂 If you ever get bored, remember to think of a song list for me. 😉 Aside from everything, I still wish I knew where I could reach Michael Blatty…
He certainly articulated his feelings well. Though I don’t agree with all of it, it was projected clearly. Thank you for another good read. You’re full of them. 😉
Oh yeah, I hadn’t noticed. I get so used to misspelling things… Then I look it up enough times to get it memorized. 😉
Wonderful. We’re so lucky to have you here, genorous enough to type out your articles… To take the time… It’s amazing. Cheers, my friend.
Wow… Now I see the aftershock… Understand how _big_ this was… better than I did. It’s awe-inspiring. I can’t put it into words better than these. Ryan put it perfectly. I know that you know what I feel… Even if I don’t say it well.
Jason called it the thinking man’s horror… I can’t think of a better term… There might be, but the words are lost on me. It’s what Bill Blatty said. It’s a love story. Karras lays down his life for another human. It’s a beautiful, pure sacrifice. His suicide proves to me, at least in the novel and film, the existance of Soul. Love. Thank you again for sharing.
