Demonology In The Film Industry
What are a selected few topics we wouldn't consider to have connections? How could they possibly have any links at all? In the entertainment industry anything can be thrown together and make sense. This stating my thesis, from Demons to tigers or even an actor; nothing can not be compared or form a connection when it comes to films and a producer's artistry. The possibilities are limitless as are these strange subjects I have succeeded in locating a connection with. Just as Vincent Cassel said, "Cinema is entertainment, and people go to the movies because they want to feel good and forget about everything else", therefore proving that even if nothing seems logically accurate, the film industry will still produce movies for our amusement no

Though one thing is common among all demons; their origin. They all came from the great demon, Lucifer, a fallen angel from Heaven who was cast down to Hell ("Demonology"). Though there are a very few religions that have gods as their form of demons due to them possessing positive and negative qualities. Stated in a source they explained that not every belief has the same demons: "And in some belief systems, they are evil spirits...all religions and cultures have versions of supernatural entities that are considered malevolent or even evil." ("Demonology").
Now Demonology is a subject all on its own, however Exorcisms can be similarly connected to it
Exorcisms are just parlor tricks for the movie industries right? With spinning heads and people crawling upside down on walls or ceilings. It may seem cliché but after the movie, Exorcist, was released, churches began receiving daily calls reporting demonic possession ("Exorcism, Benjamin Radford"). So were people really possessed or just imagining they were? Exorcisms are really just a cure for those with emotional and mental disturbances. While they imagine themselves plagued with an evil force, priests are called to preform an exorcism to help 'cure' them of their ailments. Though they really are just setting their minds at ease by making them think they are cured ("Exorcism, Benjamin …show more content…
Lee Pace, a phenomenal actor on screen or broadway, has found success through many of his roles. Though in recent interviews he has proclaimed that his most successful achievement was playing the lead role in 'Soldier's Girl' ("Lee Pace"). He had to play a transgender woman which he admits was quite strange at first but the role quickly grew on him. He has played in over 20 films and 7 television shows. For his work he has been nominated for 12 awards and has won 2 of them, one being for the Best Break Through Actor ("Lee Pace").
But one thing that should be more important then an award is the slow decline of Tigers in the wild today.
Tigers are the largest cats belonging to the large cat breeds. They can eat up to 88 lbs of meat in one sitting as well as weight up to 660 lbs. They can be on average 4 to 10 feet long and live up to 26 years in the wild. ("Tigers"). Tigers are now facing endangerment due to their habitat being cut down for agriculture and homes. This has caused them to lose most of their food sources meaning they must attack and hunt local livestock which then sets poaching into motion. There are only roughly 4,000 Tigers left alive today
