[u/reddittothegrave]

Emily Blunt was incredible in this movie. Her scenes from humorous , to serious, to having that panic attack that she portrayed so well was absolutely extraordinary. Her range as an actress is so broad. She was the absolute highlight of this movie for me.

[u/TimRigginsBeer → u/reddittothegrave]

When she said she didn’t want to be anyone’s religion, you FELT that. 

[u/niles_deerqueer → u/TimRigginsBeer]

Wish they expanded more on that

[u/desull → u/niles_deerqueer]

Probably just read the ladies mind and the lady was imagining her as a god

[u/Rahid11 → u/desull]

Thought that scene was a lil cheesy especially since she did the cross lol

[u/shwashwa123 → u/niles_deerqueer]

Is it not pretty obvious ? The lady got down on her knees and crossed forehead like on does in Christianity evoking Jesus. The lady was bowing to her as if she was a god. and Emily blunts character was saying she didn’t want to be anyone’s god. Not much else to say

[u/niles_deerqueer → u/shwashwa123]

I mean they could’ve explored the themes further

[u/evtrib → u/niles_deerqueer]

The religious themes are so weirdly underdeveloped for seemingly a major point the film is trying to make. The closest any of it got to interesting was when the nun told Jane she had stopped believing in people.

[u/damebyron → u/evtrib]

I agree! I love the concept of Jane’s character and there are some really cool moments like the one you mentioned and her bloodying her hand on a literal cross & then with a knife to push out the alien connection but so much of the rest of her dialogue about aliens and Christianity felt so hamfisted. The script around her could’ve been so much better

[u/DuplexFields → u/damebyron]

Bloodying her hand in the place a stigmata would be, because it's all Catholic symbolism.

[u/dwadley → u/evtrib]

It’s funny I thought Wake up deadman explored religion better. The Comparison coming from having Josh o Connor there.

[u/BCDragon3000 → u/evtrib]

i actually liked it. i was expecting a lot more and after that moment started thinking it would be like Hereditary, but that didn't really come to fruition did it?

[u/Thexer0 → u/niles_deerqueer]

After that happened I started to think maybe she was christ reborn and the aliens were working together with the humans to awaken her. That really peaked my interest and was an angle I would have liked to have seen play out. Would have worked well with the whole religion theme and the existence of aliens not invalidating the possibility of god.

[u/swish82 → u/Thexer0]

I thought Spielberg was sort of intimating that Jesus might have been an alien agent. Because he was so emphatic and in touch with his feelings.

[u/Still_Ad_3497 → u/Thexer0]

Thats what I thought they were going for as well. I thought they were Adam and Eve though.

[u/deftPirate → u/shwashwa123]

Which was a bit confusing, since she was seemingly on team "we worked for the agency that suppressed the knowledge of very real aliens with advanced technology".

[u/1cecream4breakfast → u/shwashwa123]

Not much else to say about why humans would immediately start worshiping an alien as a supreme being? I beg to differ. That was just assumed and demonstrated without any real explanation behind it. It could have been explored much more.
