That would actually apply if Israel wasn’t a glorified American military base that is genocidally American to its core and full of Zionist Jewish Americans who think they’re owed a plot of land because their ancestors once lived there 2,000 years ago. 😑

“Wake Up Dead Man”, and the thankless labor of women

One of the things that stayed with me the most, was reflecting on traditional gender roles in the Our Lady of Perpetual Fortitude congregation and how it relates to religion in general.

Vera halts her life to raise a child she has no moral obligations towards. Simone is the church’s biggest donor, keeping it operable basically by herself. Martha is the only employee handling administrative work in the church, keeping the treasure a secret her whole life. They are all endlessly devoted. They are all meant to be contrasts of Grace, the real “women of God,” and in the end, it’s thankless labor from all of them.

Vera’s adopted brother is a selfish jackass who appreciates nothing about what she did for him. He saw her as just a free nanny to be “dumped” once his real father showed up.

Simone is being prayed on at her weakest and used as a cash cow, only to be told she can’t be healed because she’s a faithless woman.

And Martha only realises at the tail end of her life that her selfless devotion to a man and his teachings meant nothing to him. That he betrayed her the first chance he gets.

Wicks sees himself as blameless, has no standard for his own behavior. He’s a disgusting, horrible man, who deserves none of their devotion.

When Vera and Martha realize that their whole life they trusted the story of the “harlot whore”, only to experience the exact same treatment even after doing everything in their power not to be like her, that’s the first time they can reflect on her, and when they finally realize:

“That poor girl.”

jud duplenticy writes some fantastic lines in his account of the murder like “The darkness of that story was the bedrock of this place” or “Testing tolerances, tapping deep poisoned wells, hardening, binding with complicity” or “Because in the part of my soul that cannot lie to Christ, or myself, or you…” but he did also write “Young, dumb, and full of Christ” which doesn’t necessarily undermine his skill as a storyteller or anything but what an insane thing that is to say to benoit at this point in the story

Okay but as an ambulatory wheelchair user I loved how Rian Johnson portrayed Simone. He didn’t have her be miraculously healed, but had her learn to live and deal with her chronic pain.

Abled people really don’t understand how big that is. Like just having an ambulatory wheelchair user is big!!! (I cackled at the scene where she gets out of her chair and someone says it’s a miracle and she just goes “I can walk, it just hurts.”) But also having her angry that she’s in constant pain and trying anything to feel better is so realistic. A lot of disabled people, especially newly disabled people, fall into the idea that they need to be “cured” and that they need to get back to “normal”.

Having her accept her disability and making her learn how to still do the thing she loves while still having chronic pain is amazing! Like, the idea that you can continue living after becoming disabled is so rarely shown! Like believe it or not, disabled people can lead fulfilling and happy lives doing things we love!

THIS!!
