A dying deity joins immense symbolic power to bodily weakness. Consider whether the film makes that contradiction visible through space and movement rather than explanation alone. A useful second pass is to separate the scale of the idea from the scale of its presentation: a cramped room can carry a cosmic anxiety if the relationships inside it remain precise. Ask which visible detail makes the supernatural presence feel dependent on this particular place rather than interchangeable scenery.
