The ingredients of a weekend and the prespective it gives

The plan going into the weekend was ... A cousin getting married in Taiping, another cousin’s baby prayer, 2 weddings and the only thing missing was a funeral, but there was a movie. Thank you dory I manage to catch movie watch the movie The Exorcism of Emily Rose (2005) I have head a lot about this movie and read about it and the actually girl (Anneliese Michel's Exorcism) tale.

Faith and religion has never been my strongest points but then again neither has science. The movie was very thrilling as it put into perspective the need to believe in something, something that you can hold on to weather it is science, religion, teachings anything.

It basically boils down to based upon a true story, the events that lead up to the death of Emily Rose. Emily Rose was a young college student, who believed she was possessed. Her family and her pastor did everything they could to save her. This was not your typical horror flick. Though there are some scary scenes throughout, this story is more about Emily Rose and her story. I think that the perspective of this film is to a have more a social impact, not so much to be a horror film.

You don't need to know much about Emily, science, exorcism, or the Bible to be able to follow this movie; but, if you do, it'll definitely make you raise questions about your own faith, beliefs, and what you've learned throughout life about yourself.

It conveys a lot of messages and stresses how important it is to have integrity how sometimes you have to sacrifice your ambitions ,to do what your heart tells you. How some life experiences change us, our personality, and give us a true, deeper wisdom and understanding of life. How they can make us revise some views that previously we thought were unshakeable.Finally, the film provides an explanation why sometimes God allows some horrible things to take place and some people to become martyrs.

This will be an interesting debate

Next weekend gonna be hectic aside for helping a friend with a tournament , got a wedding dinner, got a birthday party and guest coming over for a wedding….helppppppppp
