Crowley dials the numbers on his safe: 31 10 and 66, or maybe 67. I've been thinking for a long time that these numbers mean something, because we can see them well. If you have your own version, please share it with me. My theory is that the last digit is 67 - that is, 1967 - it was this year that Aziraphale brought holy water for Crowley in this thermos, which is now in the safe. Maybe that day was October 31st, or is it just that Crowley loves Halloween?
This theory seems pretty logical, but while I was thinking about it, I went through some funny and slightly crazy versions. Here is one of them: 311067 is a color in hex format. Here it is:
We know that Crowley and Aziraphale's joint miracle was violet. I don't think the authors have complicated the safe code so much, but there is definitely something to think about the meaning of colors in the film - namely red, blue, violet, gold. These colors definitely have a semantic load in the series.
The thought that in season 3 all will end in the garden (of Eden) seems comforting. The voice of God explicitly promised this. But the first season was an independent and complete story. In this film, several Chekhov's guns were suspended, and all of them fired in their turn (as they should in good literature and cinema).
"This story began as it will end in the garden of Eden with an apple," says the voice of God. This apple has caused trouble for people. And they were forced to escape from their comfortable place to the dangerous world outside.
This story ends as a mirror image.
Adam Young is forced to stay in the garden (of his house). But all the interesting is outside. Including a tree with forbidden apples. We can see there are already harvested apples near the bench where he is sitting in the garden. But he is interested in those that have not yet been collected - other people's apples. Of course, apples symbolize knowledge. And this time Adam runs away from his cozy garden of his own free will.
I assume that season 3 will not end in the garden.
- No, no, we're not giving her a lift. - Hey, she can hear you. Is it decent? - I'm not jealous at all! - What? - What?
Initial data: [Az] - Do you understand what happened yesterday? [Cr] - Well, I understand some of it. But some of it… well, it's just a little bit too [Death] - Ineffable
Objectively: 1 Two things happened last night. 2 Crowley understand one of these events. 3 The other event is Ineffable. 4 We also know that one of these events was a body swap.
To find: 1 What was the second event last night? 2 Which event does Crowley understand, and which is ineffable?
Additionally it is known: The first kiss happened in the S2.
My answer: 1 Last night they fell asleep in each other's arms >< 2 Death found such a close relationship between an angel and a demon ineffable. ^^
When Aziraphale and Crowley talk about their work in Edinburgh, camera shows the stage again. At this time, Hamlet utters lines from the monologue "to be or not to be":
- The pangs of despised love,
and the insolence of office,
and the spurns that we are…
These lines speak of not approved love and oppression by arrogant and unfair bosses. Crowley can be seen emphasizing these words of Hamlet when he convinces Aziraphale safe the agreement.
Aziraphale and Crowley arrive at the Tadfield Manor. Aziraphale feels love in this place. The picture shows a man wrapped in a snake, and on top of the gate there is a small angel (simulate the Cupid). The word Tad is also an old-fashioned word for a little boy.
As soon as the heroes pass through the gate, they are shot at. Crowley was hit squarely in the heart, and Aziraphale was hit in the shoulder.
After that, Crowley and Aziraphale's behavior changes - they begin to behave more playfully and even a little flirtatiously. At least two scenes filled with sensual tension take place in this location. If you know what I mean:
I also know one four-letter word. It starts with L...
Have you tried to give him gifts?
"Uh, does saving his human body count as a gift?"
No, it's not
Well, OK, what did you give your angel?
A fly.
Are you fecking kidding me?
Well, I also brushed my teeth.
A fly and a clean mouth? It won't work with mine.
A variant with memory loss?
It's kind of harsh.
Well, you know, everything is a little harsh for you - love spell, binding, molestation. Are you a demon at all?
Yes, I just have my own methods…
Whatever you say. Invite my and Gabri's grandchildren to your ineffable wedding.
"demonic growling"
Theory One (Maggie and Nina)
Nina and Maggie can symbolize the two sides of Aziraphale and Crowley's relationship. Maggie (this name means pearl, it is a symbol of hidden treasure and purity) this is the best thing about their relationship. It's their love for each other, for music and for the bookshope. This is confirmed by the jewelry on Maggie's neck (heart, snake and ring). This relationship is timid and it's hidden, like Maggie herself. Nina is the side of the relationship that is visible "on the surface". Nina is a responsible person, but she looks annoyed, a little rude, closed, distrustful. She is disappointed in her past relationships, which were toxic and there was no love in them. I will also note that Nina is active, she wants to sell her goods to people. Maggie's main theme is music, retro and love. For Nina, it seems to me, this is freedom (there are several statues of liberty in her cafe, one of which stands right on the counter). Including freedom of choice.
Theory two (choice, coffee and death)
So. In symbolism, coffee means awakening, awareness and life force. The torch of the Statue of Liberty means enlightenment, knowledge and optimism about the future. First. Nina offers a choice of coffee or death. In other words, to be alive or to be dead, to wake up or to sleep. Secondly. The hand of death is depicted on the wall, holding out a cup of coffee, like the Statue of Liberty holds out its torch. I can make the assumption that if you choose death, you will still get something. Once again, you make a choice to take a drink from Freedom or from Death. Nina said that no one had ever made such a choice, to which Metatron replied - people are so predictable.
What can death offer? In symbolism, she separates (with her scythe) body and soul, and irrevocable changes occur after her actions.
The third theory (choice without choice or something else)
So. Metatron brings Aziraphale coffee. The coffee was obtained from Nina, who symbolizes the dark side of the relationship between Azi and the Cro, a pinch of almond syrup was added to this cafe - it is what was good in this relationship (Maggie brought the ingredients to the coffee). So this drink is a concentrated version of their relationship. Next, Metatron is lying, claiming that he added a huge amount of almonds to the drink. Almonds in the symbolism of Christianity mean divine favor and hidden truth. Aziraphale asks if he should drink it. Metatron says literally: "Of course, I ingested things in my time, you know". I suppose he also refused something or made a difficult compromise (perhaps for the sake of his high position). Next, a conversation takes place in which Metatron, with the help of manipulation and cunning, compels Aziraphale to accept his offer. Of course, the coffee wasn't literally poisoned. The poison was in his words and intentions. I clarify, Aziraphale still did not make his choice of "coffee or death" when he took a drink from Metatron. And also when he talked to Metatron. At the same time, an equally important conversation takes place between Crowley and the girls. Both Aziraphale and Crowley are confused, events have gained momentum too quickly. There is a climactic conversation at the end of which there is actually (almost) nothing new for them. They always abruptly end the conversation by being rude to each other as soon as the conversation gets a little heated. But this time, fate has put Aziraphale in front of a choice for which there will be no turning back. It is now that Aziraphale is making his choice. Between love and death, he chooses death. When Aziraphale goes up in the elevator, you can see that his face is painfully changing, like his face is cramping up. This effect is highlighted by flashes of light. I explain this by the fact his soul and love remained on Earth (death separated his soul), and he dies - that is, irrevocably changes. Most likely, Maggie also received "death", since we see that she fell asleep in her little back room (of the bookstore).
When I was about to publish my theory, I decided to check if there were already similar ones. And I found this post. My respect. He was before mine. Now, with a clear conscience, I will publish my own.
In this painting by Leonardo da Vinci is Saint John the Baptist. He points to the sky. His gesture signifies the coming appearance of Christ. In Leonardo's painting, John has red hair and a tricky face. Crowley also makes a very similar gesture in the scene where he receives the infant Antichrist. this gesture does not correspond to what he is saying. It amuses me to think that this gesture means - yes, the Antichrist appeared today, but another baby also appeared today. I'm talking about the third baby, who was wrapped in a white blanket. Yes, I'm still hoping for a story about the second coming. Crowley must have met Leonardo. To prove this, he has a copy of the Joconda. His painting has an inscription (a whole sentence) and a signature at the bottom.
Unfortunately, it is impossible to make out what is written there. It would be funny if Leonardo painted his Joconda, and then St. John with Crowley. That's why they both have redheads and such sly smiles) And the letter J could mean Joconda or John. Although I prefer my other theory with the letter J.
- Wherever you are, I'll come to you.
Such words, Crowley, are like large-caliber bullets. Leave a little bit of a living place in my heart.
