The Book of Clarence (2024) Movie Review
Jeymes Samuel’s The Harder They Fall was a pleasant surprise and a critical success for Netflix. His follow-up, The Book of Clarence, takes a similarly anachronistic approach to a familiar genre. This time, Samuel takes on the religious epic. The film presents an alternative biblical story adjacent to the story of the last days of Jesus Christ.

This is going to sound dumb but if Jean Jacket is supposed to be the source/idea of angels you think that Sodom and Gamora were eaten by the Jean Jackets and the only way Lot and his kids survived was because they looked away from the spectacle?

now can i tell you about how i realized ‘ adam’s ribs ‘ is a reference to the biblical story of god taking adam’s rib to create eve , and how the episode parallels the story of adam because just as god took away adam’s rib the war took away hawkeye’s ribs which . however , instead of making something beautiful as god did with eve , the writers added a twist of irony because there’s nothing beautiful about the meatball surgery hawkeye must face . but at the same time it’s still a parallel because just as the taking away of adam’s rib inadvertently led to the downfall of man , the taking away of hawkeye’s ribs forces hawk to face the ugly side of man to which one can argue is the same ‘ downfall ‘ … there’s also some interesting implications in comparing adam to hawk but ( looks at the camera ) there’s not time to unpack ALL of that
