Wake Up Dead Man (Knives Out 3)

We watched the third installment of the Knives Out series last night, titled Wake Up Dead Man. My initial feeling on the film is that it is my favorite of the three films. What stuck out to me most was the examples of true Christian forgiveness in the movie.

From the article below, this sums up my feelings. Go watch the movie, then read this article.

You won’t see a better portrait of a clergy person striving to embody Jesus’ selfless love than in Rian Johnson’s “Wake Up Dead Man,” the third in his “Knives Out” whodunit series.

The film is still a murder mystery. There are plenty of non-Christian things that happen. Benoit Blanc is a self-described non-believer and has no problem expressing these feelings. But I prefer the way Christianity is displayed here more than I do a lot of other places that claim to be Christian.
