I love how the Metatron is arrogant and condescending all the way through. But also deeply compassionate and very understanding. Alan Rickman really did do a fantastic job
To be honest, as much as it's a silly Star Trek pastiche, my favorite of his lines was when he actually, seriously delivered his Warvan catchphrase to the dying Quellic in Galaxy Quest: "Quellic...By Grabthar's hammer, by the suns of Warvan...you shall be *avenged.*" ruclips.net/video/r7bo_A6XnUU/видео.html (Also who am I kidding, it's not a silly little Star Trek parody, it's one of the best Star Trek movies ever made)
This movie is giantly underrated in my book. Something about the cast the period of course Kevin smith. And the way it’s serious deep profound and yet silly . For whatever reason or maybe the point it came in my child. This is my favorite movie .
I've always liked the stories, like in Good Omens with Gabriel, where angels were shown to have their own idea of God's Plan and what S/He wanted and be totally off course through their own eagerness and hastiness. But that doesn't exclude the thought that there are angels who do have a better grasp of what the Lord is really about. Metatron is one of those angels who actually take the time to understand what Mom/Dad is all about. "You are Bethany Sloane. No one can take that away from you, not even God." And that's right. God can't, because S/He doesn't want to. We do have free will. Angels, not so much. But they do have opportunities to be better, all the same, and learn to understand what God is about.
"If I had the power, I would have." Such a simple line of dialogue in the hands of Alan Rickman delivered with emotion and pathos that seemed so effortless...he will always be a legend
As much as I love this movie for it`s comedy, it was the raw emotion in this scene that made me fall in love with Dogma. Vintage Alan Rickman, may he forever be the metatron
After Hans Gruber, Elliott Marston, Rasputin, and the Sheriff of Nottingham, Rickman didn’t want to perpetually be typecast as the villain. He actually loved being in comedies much like Vincent Price, an actor to whom Alan Rickman was often compared to in terms of outwardly sardonic overtones.
He was an amazing actor and could play the villain, anti hero, or hero. Atm I cannot remember the name of the movie where he played an actor portraying an alien on a star trek type of show and he was hilarious in that too so he can do comedy too.
This is literally my favorite scene by basis of concept. To imagine Christ as a terrified child who grew to accept his painful destiny... it credits a dimension of profundity to Chirst.
Remember it was detailed in the Bible that Jesus did have a moment where he asked the Lord for the burden to not be on his shoulders. With that already written, it doesn't defy the thought that he had doubts as a kid as well. In a way it gives a lot of credit to Mary and Joseph to help him understand human weaknesses and finding the ability to overcome them. And that there will always come a time when you can hit your lowest point. But anyone at that point, even the Son of God, can ask for help. While we live here, we will never understand Everything, and we shouldn't assume what we don't know. But there was definitely a moment there that night when Jesus was at his lowest point and he asked his Father to remove that burden that Jesus did find the courage and ability to step up and continue on. What happened to get him there is between Jesus and God alone. Just as there are many times you will find yourself needing help and you find it one way or the other. That moment doesn't have to be with anyone else but those involved. You and the one who helped you.
@@samsonguy10k Where is it detailed? Very curious honestly... I just re-read all of the Gospels and never saw that detailed, nor essentially any moment of his childhood. I am moved by the thought of this post, though, please do not let that be overlooked... I am simply academically curious you could say.
@@samsonguy10k I just found that passage and confirmed you're right! I'm very interested by the fact that this doesn't appear in the other gospels though! It makes the most sense to me that Mark being the first actually would include this detail and it would be cast off in future gospels.
@@MrBlondyking Luke 22:42 Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me; nevertheless, not my will, but thine, be done. I think what should be appreciated about the gospels is they aren't similar word for word, but do show four different perspectives. Not everything is told of by each, and each do have their own details. In a way it is a lesson to not just take one person's word for granted, but to listen to others so you better understand what was done. Never go in with horse-blinders on.
One of my favorite scenes in the film. A kinder way of saying “life’s not fair” that isn’t so brutally cynical. Some have harder destinies than others. We must find it in ourselves to be brave enough to meet them.
This world is a design to sort the angels who were planning to usurp heaven and their people. If you are good and spread love and not 1 of a handful of angels you are going to be ok! They had many opportunities to start new, lives with no past memories, and still they thirst for power and want to be idolized. It is deep character. The good news is everyone will win they will get their thrones here on earth. And we will all go start new somewhere else on the planet that’s not burning with the memories and text of how they got their crowns.
I’m irreligious but I simply adore the notion of young Jesus at one time just being a scared little boy, petrified of his uniquely enormous destiny and still finding it in himself to rise up to the challenge. That’s far more inspirational than anything in the Bible
@@scottritchey573Ok, but hearing it from the perspective of the being that had to tell him, a being that wishes they could've changed things for the kid is something else.
I've always held a torch for Alan Rickman and this scene is a great example of why. His talent and skill at his craft shone through and made me feel for the character as of they were as real as anyone. You will always be loved. 💔
Back in the day, I've started to watch Dogma as haw-haw, one more Kevin Smit's funnies. It turned out to be a giant of a story. Deep, magnificent movie. Everyone in the movie shined, but none so as Alan Rickman. A simple brilliance.
I remember watching this movie as a teenager and really disliking this scene. I wondered when they were going to get back to the jokes and action. Now, watching this in my 30s, I think this is the best scene in the whole movie. I actually cried rewatching it, listening to Metatron’s story about a young Jesus. It’s an amazingly written speech and Alan Rickman delivers it perfectly. RIP Mr. Rickman.
Isn't it funny how our perspective changes over time. Especially as we grow older, hopefully wiser, and understand the world better. It reminds me of the scene in Justice League between Batman and Ace. A kid watching that scene would probably find it slow and wonder why Batman wasn't throwing any punches. They'd think this was such an easy fight. But the adults watching know exactly why this was one of Batman's toughest fights.
I loved this movie first time I saw it in 5th grade. Thought it was so funny. My friends and I quoted Jay lines all through till we went separate ways as young adults. Watching the movie again after 10 years and realizing I missed so much when I was younger. The movie is even better now.
I agree. I've enjoyed his work since I first saw Mallrats way back in 1995, and then went back and saw Clerks. Those two were a bit creaky visually, but they were well written. With Chasing Amy, there was no remaining question that he was a skillful and talented filmmaker. One may not like his movies, but that's just a personal taste issue.
@@Cleverconveyence You liked him when he did things you agree with but when he does things you don't agree with, he has brain damage? I personally don't see that he did anything he wouldn't have done from the beginning if the opportunity had been presented to him. He did just suffer a heart attack which forced him to make a major life change in order to stay alive. That's bound to have an effect on his over all thought process. Doesn't mean he has brain damage. It just means he has to incorporate this new data into the overall programming that is Kevin Smith. You know, just like what he wrote about here in Dogma, the movie he wrote sometime after Clerks caused him to get addicted to the very thing his debut film was criticizing.
Was für ein fantastischer Schauspieler er doch war. Wenn ich an all die Filme denke die er nicht mehr drehen kann könnte ich heulen... so wie bei den Filmen die er gemacht hat. Danke und ruhe in Frieden Alan Rickman.
Ein großartiger Film, ich liebe ihn seit ich ihn das erste Mal gesehen hab und im englischen Original hört man das ganze noch mit der Gänsehaut verursachenden Stimme von Alan Rickman.
I’m Roman Catholic and I found the movie very funny in the beginning but when this scene appeared, it was a really powerful moment. Alan Rickman did an awesome job and it could have been true that Jesus as a child would have been scared at what his fate was.
2:23 Something that's great to know when something big happens to you. Like something I had to come to terms with when diagnosed with epilepsy. Very manageable in most cases but at 13, it's scary.
This scene alone made me realize Jesus was human before he was a messiah. I mean the movie makes you think about religion in a logical way without trashing it but works within the confines. For a comedy this movie made me appreciate the idea of religion more in a sense. I never once thought about Jesus as a child or a human for that matter. The stories are always about Jesus was born and then cut to 20-30 years later we list off Jesus's accomplishments as the son of the Lord before he's crucified. Not once do we ever imagine Jesus as a child coming to grips with the concept that he's the son of the lord, the man caring for him was never his father and eventually he would be crucified for trying to help the people he was trying to enlighten.
this movie has other fantasy "epics" beat because when characters sit down and talk about the myths and legends we're all familiar with, they add so much humanity and relatability to it that you feel like you were actually there.
@2:38 "All this means is a redefinition of [your] identity. The incorporation of this new data into who you are; be who you've always been. Just be this as well... from time to time." Brilliant!

Damn. Why did you have to conjure that idea? As if his untimely passing wasn't tragic enough. No doubt he would have been my favorite Doctor Who. RIP Alan Rickman
Its interesting how the bible portrays jesus as this deity that has all the answers, but ppl dont seem to realize that jesus was raised and born human which means he was capable of fear, doubt, worry, and pain that all humans feel. I like how the movie gives you a small insight into the fact that jesus at one point thought he was normal like the rest of us and after finding out his destiny had nothing but fear and panic.
this movie was full of banger scenes like this that make you really think about the story of jesus a different way. like of course he had half brothers and sisters, and the whole finale being an examination of why god even would made beings built to suffer their absence and how it feels to crumble in front of a parent who claims to love you but punishes you anyway? alanis morrisette's end credit song still gives me goosebumps; if god exists they're everything, good and evil, fun and suffering, skeeball and unjustified punishment
Honestly, this was one of the ONLY “mentor reveals the truth” scenes that didn’t come across as malevolent manipulation. Couldn’t pull it off with either Obi Won Kenobi or Albus Dumbledore.
I appreciate people having faith, but even that always seemed unfair to me. I was recently reminded of watching this scene for the first time and remembering how devastating that part of the story is (I mean story in this context, not downplaying anyone's beliefs in it)
Been there .........talking to a stone cross in st francis of assisi church yard in the middle of the night saying " what is it you want from me " ....✝️

"If I had the power... I would have."
One of the most powerful, well-delivered lines in Rickman's entire career, and I will stand by that.
Right up there with his actual last line in movies, at the end of Eye In The Sky-which is a crazy tense film.
To be honest, as much as it's a silly Star Trek pastiche, my favorite of his lines was when he actually, seriously delivered his Warvan catchphrase to the dying Quellic in Galaxy Quest:
"Quellic...By Grabthar's hammer, by the suns of Warvan...you shall be *avenged.*"
