The film "The Seventh Day" was directed by Justin Timberlake. Written and directed by P. Langer, he plays a story about discovering demons and dueling them.
The famous priest and a rookie priest give an exorcism to a family, and in the process of exorcism, the priest is plotted by the demon because the demon occupying the girl's body is too powerful. A metal cross from the hostess's neck flew up and stabbed the priest in the neck, who bled too much and died. The rookie priest Daniel was horrified, but he had to continue exorcising demons because the demons already recognized who he was, and besides, exorcism was his profession. He had to rush upwards with his scalp, but his own ability was limited, and he could only tremble and tremble like walking on thin ice. At this time, the exorcist Charlie appeared, Charlie was powerful, guided Daniel to exorcise, and also repeatedly succeeded.
But when Tangier encountered the demonic child in prison, he felt that things were not so simple. The child was possessed by a demon, killed the whole family, and was imprisoned in a cell. They had to exorcise the children, Charlie didn't go to the cell, and daniel exercised. Daniel was alone in the face of the demon-possessed child, overwhelmed, not only recognized by the demon, but also pressed under the child, if it were not for the speed of the prison guards, Daniel would have been in trouble.
After Charlie, the exorcist, learns the truth of the matter, he and Daniel exorcise the demon. They tied the demonic-possessed children to the bed and then performed exorcisms. But the demons were too powerful, and Daniel saw the future end in the exorcism, that is, the children's flesh was burned and even reduced to ashes. And his exorcism was to save the children and drive out the demons. Obviously, the future outcome he sees is not the outcome he wants.
The demon was too powerful and too cunning, which made Daniel fall into deep thought. Each time he exorcisms he was under Charlie's command, but this time, Charlie let him perform the exorcism as always, regardless of whether the child was dead or alive. The demon was hidden more deeply, and Daniel suddenly realized that the demon was not hidden in the child, but in Charlie, who instructed him in exorcism.
He turned to Charlie with the cross and chanted a spell at him, and Charlie was revealed, and the demon was resurrected on him. Daniel and Charlie wrestled with each other, and when they were lifted up by Charlie, they stabbed Charlie with a metal cross in his neck, and Charlie bled to death. The children are saved, and Daniel is redeemed by his conscience.
The demon was not attached to the child, but to the exorcist who directed the exorcism. Does it mean a free and independent rebellion? Or is there a demon in everyone? Buddhism believes that all people have Buddha-nature and demonic nature, and that buddha-nature is dominant, and that man is good; and when demonic nature is dominant, man is evil. So, is it the demonic nature of the exorcist that has prevailed and temporarily suppressed the good Buddha-nature?
The meaning of the film is not in the exorcism, but in Daniel's growth, through exorcism and rebellion, he has a strong sense of self, began to exorcise independently, and became a real exorcist. Perhaps, the person who beats the teacher is the most powerful person.
