The Knives Out film series has recently hit their third instalment with the Knives Out- Wake Up Dead Man hitting the box office.

Much like the previous two it follows detective Benoit Blanc played by Daniel Craig as he uses his skills to work out who is to blame for the murder.

In this one the protagonist Jud Duplenticy, a former boxer turned Catholic priest, played by Josh O’Connor finds himself in the middle of a murder investigation, as the former priest Monsignor Jefferson Wicks (Josh Brolin) is found dead in a storage cupboard next to the pulpit.

However, it’s not been the outcome of the investigation that has been doing the rounds instead the extensive portrayal of overcoming abuse in the Church.

Josh Brolins character the deceased priest had been portrayed as a literal and very outspoken head of the church.

He would promise healing, financial support and damn those that would not support him in his extreme rants.

However, as the story progresses Josh O’Connor’s as Father Jud turns around the ways of the church and its corrupt congregation instead of teaching war and hate instead teaches that as Christians, we should follow God and not man.

By tackling the tension of corruption and abuse at the pulpit, the film directly tells the story of the crucifixion and of Good Friday.

Speaking in an interview American filmmaker Rian Johnson said: “The notion of speaking of Christianity in the terms of war, speaking of it in terms of us-against-them, and about being under attack from the world outside and raising up walls, which is kind of the opposite of the things that Christ actually taught.

“Wicks is in opposition to Jud's viewpoint, which is, ‘Let's open our arms. Let's go to people where they're at. Let's meet people who have need in their life, and let's meet them at that level.’”

The film is continuing to raise eyebrows with the message that Christianity is all about love and forgiveness being put into the mainstream film industry.
