Signs is the best place to start with M. Night Shyamalan films. Upon first glance, Shyamalan films represent typical mass consumption Hitchcock-meets-Spielberg homage, but the films at times display much more at work. Signs appears to be a film about alien arrival and disclosure. Since the 1940s and 50s Hollywood and the military industrial complex have worked endlessly to prop up the notion alien invaders are inevitable – meanwhile the Christian and biblical account of creation is dead. In fact, for centuries the West has mandated dogmatically metaphysics isn’t even possible given the dominance of reductionist materialism.
Now, we are to accept a new religious mythology that blends seamlessly with scientism (and not science), the alien mythology. In fact, a Brookings Institute Report on the proposed effects of NASA “discovering” alien life is even outlined as having a potentially devastating effect on religion in general, and in particular Christian theology, given the Incarnation. The Report reads:
“The Christian religion would be particularly compromised by the discovery of extraterrestrial life since it makes so much of the Incarnation as a historical event and of the knowledge of the good news of Jesus Christ’s passion, ascension and atonement as the sine qua non of salvation…a fact surely irreconcilable with Divine Providence.” (The Lure of the Edge: Scientific Passions, Religious Beliefs and the Pursuit of UFOs, Denzler, pg. 149)
Signs is a film that deals with precisely this question. Mel Gibson plays Fr. Graham Hess, an ex -Anglican priest who, given his wife’s death, has lost his faith as a result of his wife’s gruesome death in a car accident. As the film opens, we see crop circles setting an ominous tone that will continue for the rest of the film. Crop circles are most often human creations and hoaxes, although some cases do seem extremely elaborate. In my estimation, they are an orchestrated “sign” or psychological operation manufactured by some form of advanced drone technology of the deep state to promote the alien mythos. Perhaps this explains the mysterious white ball phenomenon many appear to have caught on camera.
