Q
How much sex, violence, and profanity are in this movie?
A
For detailed information about the amounts and types of (a) sex and nudity, (b) violence and gore, (c) profanity, (d) alcohol, drugs, and smoking, and (e) frightening and intense scenes in this movie, consult the IMDb Parents Guide for this movie. The Parents Guide for The Rite can be found here.
Q
How closely does the movie follow the book?
A
Those who have both read the book and seen the movie say that the film bears little resemblance to the book. For example, Father Gary Thomas, the subject of the book, was 52 years old, ordained in 1983, had been a priest for 22 years, serving the last 15 years at a parish in Saratoga before he was called to study exorcism in Rome. In the movie, his counterpart, Michael Kovak (Colin O'Donoghue), is a 22-year old, nonordained student who entered the seminary to get a free four-year education and to get away from having to follow in the footsteps of his mortician father. Matt Baglio, the journalist who followed Father Thomas and wrote his story, is replaced by a young female journalist, Angelina Vargas (Alice Braga), in order to give the demon some sexual fodder. To further show how little resemblance the movie has to the book, the following disclaimer is shown at the end of the film as the credits begin to roll: 'While inspired by actual events, this movie is a work of fiction and contains fictional and dramatized scenes, characters and dialogue. Any similarity between a fictional character and any actual person is entirely coincidental and unintentional.'
Q
From what did Michael's mother die?
A
Her cause of death is not mentioned. Because Michael's father says, 'The pain is gone...God has taken it away,' some viewers have suggested she might have died of cancer or some painful disease.
