A video essay (with spoilers) about the dark deeper meaning of 'Weapons' (2025), written and directed by Zach Cregger and starring Josh Brolin, Julia Garner, Alden Ehrenreich, Austin Abrams, Cary Christopher, Benedict Wong and Amy Madigan. In this video I get into its deeper themes and symbolism. I consider the bell, the tree and deliverance.
