The woman in the church

I found it very odd that the woman in the church who is praying (or saying her rosary, I can't remember) opens her eyes to see the angel there with outstretched wings... and she starts screaming in abject terror like she's just seen Freddy Kruger there holding a severed head. I never got that. I mean - she's in church, she's praying, she seen an angel... and she screams???

Hmm maybe I just interpreted it as more of a religious experience rather than seeing a UFO or Bigfoot. If I were in church and I see an angel I would be more like, "Oh sh!t! They're REAL!!!" and would head to confession REALLY quick!

I thought she was a dude until she screamed.

Hey, people react with shock in so many different manners. It probably wasn't something she expected to see upon opening her eyes.

I thought it was weird too since everyone else who saw her was captivated by her. Maybe her powers only worked on guys!

Get me a bromide! And put some gin in it!

I just watched this movie for the first time tonight and that was my exact thought too. I know in a movie sense she probably didn't expect anything to be there when she opened her eyes, but she was screaming like she was witnessing a demon or something. Major overacting there lol.

I've never fooled anyone. I've let people fool themselves.
