Might sound like a weird question. Well it kinda is.
But reason is, John Woo is apparently a devout Christian. The only sad thing is… the neckbeard atheist people who joked on the whole Nick Cage in a priest costume, and acting improper. Without having seen the whole movie. But its posted like a meme in a sense
But within context of the whole movie. I get the feeling it follows the aspects of Galatians 5:13-26
Where in, you have acts of the flesh vs the fruit of the spirit. (Now i have dubbed it differently, thanks to Jade Cocoon PS1 intro helping me understand Christianity better. “Beast of knowledge vs Pure knowledge". Thats what i tend to call it.
But “Castor Troy” character is, basically a very disgusting character, he seems charismatic, chill and do whatever you want character, but it also ends up hurting people in the process aswell.
Whereas “Sean Archer” is a guy suffering from loss. Is trying to do the right thing, even if it can be tough in the process, and can be overbearing to his wife and others in his life. But overall, he is a good guy.
I am just curious to what your thoughts are?
