<h1 class="pgc-h-center-line" data-track="4" > how terrifying is "The Exorcist", the originator of horror films? </h1>
In the eyes of those who are keen on horror movies, "The Exorcist" may be an appetizer at best. The overall narrative of the film is relatively slow, and the horror scenes are very rare in the first half of the film. In the second half of the film, it gradually increases but is far from dense, so the audience will have enough time to digest these horror images.
Reagan climbing down the stairs upside down, and being able to rotate his head 180 degrees, etc., should be within the acceptable range of the general audience, after all, everyone now has a strong heart. And this is basically the most bizarre and terrifying shot in the movie, and because it is based on real events, the story, characters, and plots interspersed with the entire narrative are ordinary and calm, and the horror atmosphere has just been formed, and then it will be diluted and diluted.
The originator of horror movies can probably be regarded as an introductory choice for horror movies. If you're a little timid about trying to watch horror movies, you might as well grab a buddy to go with you and start with The Exorcist to push your limits.
In fact, "The Exorcist" is very religious, so horror is only its surface narrative, and in the deep narrative of this film, it is more about faith and reflection on the universe of life.
<h1 class="pgc-h-center-line" data-track="12" > is theology at the end of science? </h1>
Some time ago, a professor claimed to have overturned Einstein's theory of relativity, which was ridiculed a lot. If from a scientific point of view, this spirit of courage to question and constantly make breakthroughs is still worth appreciating. The rapid development of science and technology is what people usually call "God is dead", but is God really dead?
With the establishment of classical mechanics and the precise determination of the orbital trajectories of the planets in the universe, we once thought that everything in the world was arranged in a regular formula. The uncertainty of quantum mechanics caused Einstein to wonder and anger, he said", "Will God roll the dice"?! People used to think that the physical building frame has been perfected, just to be renovated and beautified, but more exploration and the known bring more "unknown".
Excessive belief in science is also a superstition. To regard science as the supreme is to deviate from the spirit of science itself. For all the unknowns, we may have to have an attitude of curiosity and awe, and only the "ignorant" can truly achieve "meaninglessness", which is fortunate or unfortunate, it is difficult to say.
Religion still exists in today's society, outward is the infinite stars, inward is the vast sea of hearts, there are still too many doubts and unknowns. And supernatural events are often spoken on the Internet or even in other people, and may even be witnessed by someone themselves. Those events that are beyond the existing scientific understanding may one day be solved by science. Science at that time may have taken on a whole new look.
So, have you ever encountered events that science can't explain?
