Film:Angel egg (1985)

The thoughts no one asked for. But angel egg is like really interesting and good. I grew up a good little Christian boy and have retained lots of the “lore” that I learned in Sunday school. So when me and my coworker decided to watch this movie we had been meaning to watch, I was expecting what I heard. A weird art movie with little dialogue. I was NOT expecting this to be a fucked up twist on Noah’s ark. And on Christianity in general.

I should have been ticked off with the fact that it’s called ANGEL egg, or the fact that cross-guy is, in fact, carrying a cross the whole time. But it took me until cross guys monologue retelling his version of Noah’s ark. One where the dove that was sent to find land never returned, an ark they’re shown to still be on at the end of the film (at least, I think that is what that final shot is).

Suddenly my mind was FLOODED with Christian symbolism I was previously blind to, and the fascinating ways the movie twists Christian myth into something horrific (or rather, the ways it highlights how obviously horrific Christian myths already were). The bit that stood out to me the most were the fishermen-soldier-people.

Not only is the idea of this city being built by literal fish people, or perhaps the heretics who venerated fish; causing God to get angry and wiping the slate with his flood. But thematically I thought back to Jesus’ words to his fist apostles, that they would become “fishers of men”. But the fisher-soldiers clearly aren’t the non-violent apostles Jesus wanted, they’re violent and crazed, grabbing at the literal shadows of enemies long gone. An interpretation that reflects the very real violent history of Christianity, and the way that the real history of this religion conflicts with its peaceful scriptures and teachings.

I think this tension lies at the Center of the movie, highlighting just how violent, and fucked up a religion Christianity is in its own words. Questioning why we’ve ever allowed this religion to pretend its not horrific and awful and violent. Because even at the end of the movie, when egg-girl dies and is seen joining the other statues as a reward for her faith, I wonder what kind of reward that really is? I wonder if she thinks it’s worth it?

Well I finally finished Angelic Layer. Discovered it due to a crossover fanfic. It was good but I still don't understand some Japanese humour.

Right on time to celebrate the Hazbin Hotel season 3 & 4 announcement!!! I asked for some wholesome doodle prompts from folks on Twitter! I also got "solving puzzles" as a part of the suggestions! Notice the pieces that no longer fit. 🥲 Well, this was fun! Now I'm wondering if I should do the same for Tumblr next time? 😊 For now, pls enjoy the bonding of (current, past, & future) residents of the hotel being super adorable together as I disappear into the void. C'ya!
