Last night was Movie Night for UM-Flint students at the local movie house. I got a free movie ticket (YAY!) so me, my husband and stepson went and saw The Rite.
We all liked the movie, it was pretty good. It was about a young man who signed on to become a Catholic priest to get away from his father and the family business as well as for a ‘free’ college education. Once his initial undergrad degree is completed and he is ready to move on with his life without becoming a priest, he is coerced into going to Rome to learn the rite of exorcism. In Rome he meets a rather unorthodox priest who is an expert at the rite.
Spooky but not as scary as I thought it would be. Supposedly the movie is based on a true story. Interesting – makes me want to do more research.
The movie does make you think about evil and belief in demons and the devil. A long time ago I decided not to believe in demons and the devil but this movie sort of made me question that belief, ha.
Then I got to thinking about my own ‘demons’ I need to exorcise. I have some, that and so old haunts hanging around that I need to get rid of. Me being me the only way I feel I can do that is to write about them. Get them out into physical form, perhaps put them to use for the good of others, or if not toss them away, out of me, into the trash where they belong.
