so what was she.......?? spoiler


mentally ill or possessed???

reply

I took it as her being crazy.

reply

Clearly the former. All the religious visions are hers alone.

reply

Mentally Ill. There is a reason the last shot was her burning alive.

reply

Hell of a final shot. Not a perfect film, but it was punctured by a few brilliant scenes here and there, the ending being one of them.

reply

That was a great final shot. I wish they would have held it a bit longer than a micro-second, though.

reply

Read a post elsewhere positing a brain tumor, explaining the nosebleed, seizure and hallucinations.

reply

I just finished the movie. I thought that same thing. I kept expecting a brain tumor to come up at some point.

Weird, I wasn't even logged in to get notified; just popping by b/c she's being talked about and I remembered how much I liked this and her in it. I suppose it goes without saying she also wasn't a paragon of mental health, but...

And I am now curious as to what led to OP to suspect possession, and by what or whom?

reply

She has schizoaffective disorder with bipolar tendencies. People live in this horror every day.
