Rian Johnson's Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery delves into the complex relationship between queerness and Catholicism through the characters of Benoit Blanc and Father Jud Duplenticy.[2] The film introduces Father Jud, an earnest young priest with a violent past, whose empathetic ministry contrasts sharply with the cruel and power-hungry Monsignor Wicks.[2] Benoit Blanc, an openly gay man, is pushed to reveal his own complicated religious upbringing, deeply affected by the "malevolence and misogyny and homophobia" he perceives in the church.[2] The dynamic between Jud and Blanc fosters an emotional vulnerability, ultimately leading Blanc to cede his triumphant "whodunit" moment to allow Jud to offer absolution, demonstrating an extraordinary act of grace inspired by the priest's example.[2]Visit  https://nerdist.com/article/wake-up-dead-man-a-knives-out-mystery-queerness-catholicism/  to read or listen to the article.Powered by Instaread (https://instaread.co/player)
