What are the advanced symbolic expressions used by Robert Zemeckis in “Flight” for suspense? *Note! Contains spoilers.

A miracle of God... No! ?

There are various sects in Christianity. The first Christian denominations in America are Roman Catholicism and Protestantism. Among Protestants, liberals and evangelicals can be roughly divided.

At the scene of the plane crash in "Flight," there was a Pentecostal church that descended from evangelicalism. However, in the movie, Pentecostal believers are only depicted as a ``crowd''. When filming them, the camera moves away from them each time, making them appear smaller as they pray while wrapped in white cloth, giving the impression that they are insects or small animals. Even in scenes where they help save passengers from a crashed plane, their faces are not shown.

Additionally, the co-pilot is portrayed as a stereotypical right-wing evangelical Christian. The couple's lack of facial expressions, calling the accident "God's will," and praying give it an eerie impression.

The only other person who speaks of ``God's will'' is a man who has cancer and has lost his hair due to the effects of anti-cancer treatment, referring to his illness. ``God's will'' does not have any good meaning.

Whip's lawyer Lang (Don Cheadle) repeatedly calls the accident an "act of God." In English, "force majeure" is expressed as "act of god." The literal translation is "acts of God."

Zemeckis is also the director of `` Contact '' (1997). The film depicts a positivist protagonist who is removed from the pilot role for denying the existence of God, but ends up making "Contact" with aliens. For these reasons, it seems that Zemeckis did not intend for this to be a religious lesson.

In that case, this work is no longer trying to depict the sublime spirituality that comes from believing in a religion, nor is it necessarily a depiction of the temptations of the devil. The devil is also called the "Antichrist," because he exists as a counterpart to God (Christ).

However, ``Flight'' depicts something like a religious, indispensable ``power''. What is its true identity?
