An interesting discussion about an interesting movie

Ben has watched the movie at least 10 times.

Symbolism

  • Eucharist
  • The Ring
  • Abandonment
  • The name Thomas Credo
  • Izzy's white clothing
  • Religious ecstasy
29:58 What makes you keep calling him 'the last man'? Well, that's what the movie was originally titled. Oh, well that'll do it.

Parallels to Noah

  • The last man
  • The seed from the Tree of Life
  • Tom vs Noah

51:11 Sci-Fi Christian Story Time: Ben Saved Casey's Life

Archivist Note

For some reason Aronofsky movies just don't quite click for me; they feel artificial and forced, as opposed to, for example, David Lynch's, which feel natural and effortless. Not sure that I can explain why.
