Jewish Director


Why would a hard core Zionist and a true beliver in the state of Israel, a man how have done countless Birthright trips to Israel direct a religiosus coming of age story ? Why create The Exorcist: Believer to be a christian good vs evil story without "fright"?

What was the reason for the "Elise Rainier" nurse charterer ?

The productions quality was great but the film fell flat in the third chapter. I wonder who cut this togseter and released a flick almost without the possessed characters.

5/10

I screened this in our auditorium today and people had mixed feelings! I enjoyed it WAY more than I thought, but yes it turned into religious mambo jumbo ! Younger audience felt it was flat “AF”

Let me point out Green is an American Jew and "OK"
America just dont like Israelis - they are terrorists - killer of children.

Jews have nothing to do with this.

I just googled it, and it looks like DGG was actually raised Presbyterian, NOT Jewish. In fact, he even attended a Jesuit High School, so he very much had the cultural background for the characters in William Peter Blatty's story:

Sounds like a troll post to me. Question would more suitable if it asked why Steven Spielberg depicted the cup of Christ from the Last Supper having healing powers and giving eternal life, in the third Indiana Jones movie. That always seemed odd to me given Spielberg's obvious Jewish background.

The OP straight out of the 1940's trying to "name the Jew" despite the original 'The Exorcist' director William Friedkin (RIP) being Jewish so what is the deal here?

Very strange Christian Film. Failed to hit the mark imho. Very bland, weak.
