“I’ve always felt that A Film should first of all
be an EMOTIONAL Experience :
It should make you laugh,
or cry, or be scared —
but it should also inspire
and PROVOKE You….
and make you REFLECT.
Over the years, I’ve found that
people take from The Exorcist
what they bring TO it —
if You Believe that The World is a Dark
and EVIL Place, then The Exorcist
WILL reinforce that belief…..
…..but if You Believe that
There is a Force for Good,
that COMBATS, and eventually
TRIUMPHS over Evil
— then You will be taking out of The Film,
what WE tried to put IN to it.”
— Friedkin.
