Special to the Epoch Times
In this courtroom drama, “The Ex-
orcism of Emily Rose” takes an ana-
lytical approach to the controversy of
science versus faith.
“The Exorcism of Emily Rose” is
based on the true story of Anneliese
Michel.
Emily Rose (Jennifer Carpenter)
comes from a devout Catholic fam-
ily. At the age of 19, while attending
college, Emily begins to experience
unexplained and frightening phe-
nomena. She begins seeing people’s
faces changing as she walks or turns
around. At 3 AM sharp, she feels at-
tacked by unseen dark forces that are
accompanied by strange noises and
nightmares that haunt her throughout
the day.
Despite the use of prescribed medi-
cations, her condition continues to
deteriorate to a point where Emily’s
body becomes contorted into unnatu-
ral positions, she begins to speak in
other languages, and even eat insects.
Terrifi ed by her bizarre surround-
ings, Emily runs into a church for
help. Father Richard Moore (Tom
Wilkinson) advises Emily to stop tak-
ing her medication so that he could
perform the diocese approved exor-
cism and free Emily from the demons
possessing her. Emily, however, al-
ready in a weakened state, does not
survive the exorcism. Father Moore
is arrested for negligent homicide and
awaits his trial.
Lawyer Erin Burner (Laura Lin-
ney), a self-proclaimed agnostic, is
hired by the church to defend Father
Moore who wishes to tell the world
what happened to Emily and the ex-
orcism. Emily’s story is told through
fl ashbacks of chilling witnesses’ tes-
timonials.
The prosecution is led by Ethan
Thomas (Campbell Scott), a man of
faith who sings in the church choir
and teaches Sunday school. Attorney
Thomas sets forth the argument that
the withholding of medical care was
the cause of Emily’s death.
There was no medical consensus
regarding Emily’s condition or cause
of death. Several theories were raised
as possible explanations of her bi-
zarre condition. Could it be epilepsy?
Schizophrenia? Or another undiag-
nosed mental disorder?
On the other hand, the defense ar-
gues that medical care was ineffec-
tive to treat the demonic possession
affl icting Emily. Dr. Adani (Shohreh
Aghdashloo) plays an anthropologist
who, with specialized knowledge of
possession in primitive cultures, testi-
fi es for the defense.
Writer Paul Harris Boardman, and
writer/director Scott Derrickson, pro-
vide a well-balanced debate on the
controversy between science and re-
ligion, allowing the audience to draw
their own conclusion.
Special effects were used through
the creative positioning of cameras at
different angles to augment the drama
and the authenticity of the events.
The outstanding dialogue goes
along with some solid acting. Tom
Wilkinson and Laura Linney deliver
convincing performances, and Jenni-
fer Carpenter’s talent shows through
in her realistic characterization of
Emily.
Whether you believe in exorcism
or not, this movie will surely possess
you.

Epoch Times Australia Staff
Sigrid Thornton, one of Australia’s best
loved actors, heads an all-star cast in the
much anticipated mystery-drama Little
Oberon. To perform the role of a grand-
mother battling cancer, Thornton shaved off
her raven locks, a move that would challenge
most actors. The fi lm, shot around the pic-
turesque township of Marysville, in Victo-
ria, tells an inter-generational story in the
fi ctitious mountain town of Little Oberon.
Thornton (46) plays eccentric artist Lola
Green, the mother of Georgie, who is played
by former Blue Heeler Tasma Walton. Wal-
ton plays the mother of Natasha (Brittany
Byrnes). Mother and daughter are estranged,
with Thornton’s character having never met
her granddaughter. Her illness brings the
fractured family back together.
“She is a woman at the crossroads—try-
ing to come to terms with her own mortality
as well as reconcile relationships with her
family. I was surprised by the interest shav-
ing my head generated because it seemed to
be such a natural and essential component
of creating the character of Lola,” Thornton
said. Well respected in the general public,
Thornton’s fi lm credits include such Aus-
tralian classics as box-offi ce hits, The Man
From Snowy River (1982), The Lighthorse-
men (1987) and The Man From Snowy River
II (1988).
Not only renowned for her characteriza-
tion in fi lms, her outstanding performance
as Laura Gibson the Magistrate in Pearl Bay,
for the hugely successful ABC series Sea
Change, continued to place Thornton among
Australia’s favorite actors. The sweetheart of
Australian screen’s contribution to society
has not been limited to acting alone. Thorn-
ton is well known for her work with World
Vision, the Royal Victorian Institute for the
Blind, the Royal Children’s Hospital, and
the Reach Foundation. Thornton has lobbied
the government to keep libraries open and
to resource the Australian TV and fi lm in-
dustry so it can tell more Australian stories.
This work has seen her appointed to numer-
ous boards of federal and state fi lm bodies to
help develop the Australian industry.
