i think it's beautiful that cats eat you if you die in your apartment and nobody finds you for a while. i don't know why it's used as anti-kitty cat propaganda as if eating you means they don't love u. if i died and no one found me for a while i would want my kitty cat to eat me bc i love her so much and i don't want her to starve. it's not her fault i'm too dead to give her her fancy feasts. she's going thru something scary ok. i don't know a single cat owner who doesn't feel the same way

This is also always said as a cat vs. dog thing when like. A dog would eat you also. A dog would eat you faster. Their mouths are better at biting into your corpse.

Chickens, on the other hand? Chickens will eat you alive. Chickens will eat each other alive. Chickens will, on occasion, eat themselves alive. Chickens don't give a fuck.

Revelation 12:9

The great dragon was hurled down—that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray. [...]

Revelation 21:8

[...] the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars—they will be consigned to the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death.

I feel like not enough people are talking about how the reveal that Monsignor Wicks also desired the diamond that he believed had driven his mother to sin - just like Adam took a bite of the Biblical apple after Eve. And, just like Adam blaming Eve,  Monsignor Wicks has spent the rest of his life blaming his mother (and women like her) for the world's misfortunes.

Oh, and also, remember how Christ's sacrifice on the cross, in the Biblical canon, redeemed this original sin of Adam and Eve by taking it upon himself ? And remember how Jud (St. Jude, The Saint for the Hopeless and the Despaired, patron saint of hopeless causes, little prayed to because of his superficial similarity to deception and murder, commonly  depicted carrying the image of Jesus in his hand or close to his chest) took the diamond that had symbolised this "original sin" of the Church and placed it literally into the image of Christ ?

Also, the fact that the person who "redeemed" the Church in this way is explicitly called out to be a CARPENTER - or at least someone good with wood ?? The fact that the image of Christ - which he makes himself - in which he hides the diamond was raised up to replace the empty space left by the cross destroyed by Grace ?? The fact that, in doing so, he removes the physical symbol of Wicks' grudge and hatred, and lets go of these emotions in favour of Christ ?

All this while Tom Waits' "Come Up To The House" is singing "Come down off the cross, we can use the wood" ? Metaphorically calling for Our Lady of Perpetual Fortitude to "come down off the cross" of it's hatred for it's founding sin ? To learn to show - as Jud changes it's name to, not the fortitude to bear it every single day, but the grace to let go of it ?

This movie makes me insane

[phoenixfatality]

the camerawork and composition of Wake Up Dead Man is incredibly instrumental to the storytelling in a way that I think most people miss if they aren't art students or insane film nerds. (i am said art student and film nerd, my niche is literally camera angles)

Wicks is almost ALWAYS shot in a low angle. (also known as a worm's eye view). This is an angle used to make the subject look larger than they really are (think, a person looking down at the ground). This is used in film to convey power or presence in a scene. This angle conveys authority, power, who's in control in the scene. Now, it can also be used in reverse, but this is not the case with how it's used to frame Wicks. And if he is not in a low angle (rare), he is shown to be in control in other ways, be through other framing devices, or the fact that he is yelling or physically moving towards someone. Even in the scene where Jud is UP ON A LADDER, Wicks is positioned in frame as bigger than him. Wicks is always bigger. (AND WICKS IS SMALLER THAN JUD. JUD IS 6'1".)

And by contrast, Jud is, for most of the film, while interacting with the flock, shot in an level angle. Even if the angle has a slight high or low tilt, he is almost always equal in height or positioning with the other characters in the scene. While yes, he has authority and power over them via his position in the church, he does not abuse that power over them like Wicks does. He is trying to stay on their level. He is equal to them, and sometimes, he's shot in a way that makes him SMALLER than them. Jud is not a short character, and his past would imply he should have power over other characters if he wanted to. But he is small. He does not take up space. (which is another great element to characterization but that's for another post).

The camera angles and shot blocking of this movie are just as instrumental to the emotional storytelling and impact as the lighting is, and I hope it's noticed by more people
