How is this symbolism? It's literally sticking Jesus in the background.
Aaron Lewis
it broke new ground!!!

Snyder's gift for subtle symbolism is unparalleled.
Alexander Phillips
wot wrong that dude nose?
Josiah Morales
It’s not trying to be subtle, it’s deliberately making the connection. The priest he’s talking to looks at him as if he was looking at a God-like figure, like Jesus.
Your snark would only make sense if they were trying to be subtle.
Andrew Evans
Yes it symbolises Jesus.
Juan Wilson

Are Snyderfags really this dumb? I hope Cavill gets another shot with a new director. I hate to see his Supes go to waste.
Nathaniel Reed
it's symbolically associating clark / supes with a saviour, meaning, clark / supes is a saviour figure himself.

Well, he was in a church, asking for advice. This is not an uncommon plot device when a character feels lost or conflicted, especially given he lives in rural midwestern America, and probably grew up going to that church, even if he might have stopped at some point. Having Jesus framed in the background was obviously intentional, but like... why wouldn't you? It's not a bad time to do it, especially since this the first time in the movie you begin to see him take on the responsibility of protecting the Earth.

Yeah it's not symbolism, but redditors think any type of visual storytelling is automatically symbolism.
Snyder is not saying Superman is Jesus. The film in the context of the scene, through editing between different shots, suggests that the priest himself is drawing a parallel between Clark and Christ. We are seeing through his eyes. But in reality, he is just a regular man trying to do good, not the 2nd coming, as stated explicitly in the dialogue of BvS. Snyder's films have often explored the themes of perspective and subjectivity, he uses cinema to express how characters feel and see the world. Modern film audiences have become conditioned to prefer films with objective storytelling with little ambiguity. Leading to people to misread Snyder's films by offering the most superficial interpretations.
Like the sex scene in Watchmen. Many people think the use of Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah" implies "hallelujah I'm finally having sex!" but the lyrics' references to King David's adultery draw a parallel to Dan's arc in the film.

the fuck are you people talking about, at this point superman hadn't done aything heroic at all. the priest just saw a regular man, and if he even believed him, he wouldn't know the man as a hero or anything christlike, but as an undercover alien
