It is a well-known story that an audience member who saw this movie at the time of its release lost consciousness and broke his jaw, and sued Warner Bros.

The person who embodies this is Father Karras (Jason Miller). At first glance, this film appears to be a proxy war between God and the devil between Father Merrin (Max von Sydow) and the demon Pazuzu, but it is actually a story about how a priest who lost his faith regains his ``God''. It is also a philosophical human drama. In this article, we will focus on him and examine ``The Exorcist''.
