Its a war between demon & god and Regan is only a medium between...whereas Father karras is the colateral damage while killing Marriin is the real motive of Pazazzu. 1st 15 min of movie depicting signs of demon through object , humanlife . Its a warning signal of a demon coming which Father Merrion knew and got panicked...as he knows another encounter with demon would be fatal as his health was not ok. The locket of karras is precious [ was found when digging] . Locket is there to protect one from possession. Thts y Last scene depicts demon has to torn off the locket first to get into him. Father Karras has sacrificed atlast as demon can kill regan in a second. Father Karras is a lost soul as he got lost his faith. Infact Pazazzu chose him the soft target for bringing Father Marrion into picture.Even it began more earlier starting from a beggar from metro, his wild dreams depicting faces of demon , his mother's sudden death caused by demon to make him weak as soul. Burke , the director was killed by demon as he got to know the information about demon's doings.it has affected him badly which is some kind of possession , made him crazy in party. He wants to say something at the door before leaving the party. He again came to see Regan at night when he got killed by a powerful man. The matter of fact DEMON has won the battle in this exorcism...his purpose of killing both was served. This demon named PAZAZZU is dangerous in the sense it cannot be killed but can be transfered only to different bodies through exorcism. Its always very risky to execute exorcism as demon can be various and evil as well.
I was about 24 yrs old when I saw this movie. Never have I been so tense and nervous. I Squeezed my husband arm so hard that I left marks on it. I have NEVER swam in the ocean again. Nor will I again. This music and movie is a classic.
Really loved your take on this. Also, if you want suggestions for another film to watch for a reaction, Galaxy Quest is a very underrated classic from the late 90's. If you want another John Williams composed movie that I don't see many reactions for, The Cowboys with John Wayne is a western that I loved as a kid.
Please please please react to Rush hour 1,2 and 3 starring Jackie Chan and Chris tucker. You will absolutely laugh so much and enjoy so many action scenes
The necklace was protection against evil. The demon yanked it off Damien’s neck because he couldn’t possess him otherwise. So I’m glad Regan and her mom were given the necklace in the end.
Amazing directing too - attention to detail, e.g., they stacked lots of large boxes of ice outside the room to chill the temperature right down - go the '70s!
I well understand that "I've started, so I'll finish" thing. I also reckon it can be a way of running away from stuff you really want to do - giving yourself endless tasks to complete. Good choice and good luck.
Lots of things make for a good reactor: 1. An expressive face. Rules my blank face out lol. 2. Intelligence - nothing as annoying as someone who doesn't get the plot, and who pauses at the wrong time, and goes off the plot, and essentially is out of synch with the flow of the film / series. 3. Decency - disconcerting when you see reactors enjoying violence in a sadistic manner and identifying with the assholes instead of with the decent folk. 4. Sense of humour. This is a good reaction, for reasons noted.
The possession started because, without wearing that neckless for protection, the person is vulnerable. Asking to be let in without it is dangerous. Pazzuzzu, the demon tricked Reagan into inviting him in with the Ouija board. Father Karras invited him in but it didn't work until the neckless got taken off. The neckless is a VERY good thing. It was found in Irag because someone was using it for protection back in the ancient times. Father Merrin recognized it because he knows about Pazzuzu. He was the demon that almost killed him and it's why he wants to take on Merrin again.
I've always believed that the demon reacted to the tap water as if it was holy water in order to try to disprove a case for an exorcism. It is a trickster and plays with one's mind, as was shown in many cases throughout the movie. I loved your reaction, thank you for sharing your genuinely sincere experience with us all.
Unfortunately, I have been to a beach that crowded, during the July 4th week. It was awful. Now, I only go after the season ends. One year, I spent Thanksgiving at the beach. It was wonderful. No crowds and everything discounted. Heated indoor pool. Had seafood instead of turkey.😊
"There's just one more thing I want from you", he said as he started to unbuckle his pants. "What else is there", she asked? Oh you dear sweet innocent child. Have a guess. LOL
RU-vidrs always forget that the first murder took place on Halloween night. Half the kids in the neighborhood were probably walking around with fake bloody knives.
