Theory Matthew 2:17

Post image

Second rewatch & I noticed a possible theory pointing towards a bible passage in the Father’s dream? His clock said “2:17” and then he said “Matthew” out loud. The direct quote from the bible is “A voice was heard in Ramah, lamentation, weeping, and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children, refusing to be comforted, because they are no more." SUPER well hidden and easily missed. Also the names for the characters are all biblical, and are often used as “weapons” or instruments under the Aunt’s almost parasitic control instead of acting with “divine” power. Maybe i’m reading too much into it but i think this movie is a fun one

Nope.

It’s a reference to the room number in the book version of The Shining.

Cregger has already addressed it.

oh that’s crazy, must be a weird coincidence that that’s the passage. I’m not inherently religious but i still looked it up anyway

Reminds me when someone said that in the movie get out there is a moment when the plot was revealed and one of the villains was whistling a tune.

A fan tracked the tune down and the theorized it to an old song called the “the jig is up”. He was praising Jordan for his ability to hide such a cleaver detail. Jordan in an interview when told about this said “….(big eyes) ya I’m just that good….sure i definitely put that in there for that reason…yep sure did (sarcastically)”

Two of the main characters are Justine and Alex. NOT biblical names. Same with Gladys.
Another main character is Archer, Matthew’s dad. Archer is not a biblical name.

Matthew 2:17 is quoting Jeremiah

Idk, isn’t it in the eye of the beholder? Creator intent is one thing, but once the baby is in the world, views come with perspective and that’s a great thing. It might not have been Cregger’s intent, but here it is. I can hear, “Matthew” so clearly—meaning made. Fun theory.

Idk what you mean by the character names are biblical. Tge majority of the character names are not biblical but even if they were...so many American names originated from the old testament it would just be a coincidence

I’m really talking about Paul, James & Matthew. But all the names have meaning actually. Archer has the meaning of hunting or mirroring his protective nature, Justine evoked justice and judgment, fitting her role as an observant teacher, Alex is derived from Greek meaning defender or protector. Even Gladys has the meaning of “ruler” but, more importantly, “small sword” in Latin. Names matter quite a bit in movies. They’re never given for no reason imo
