Theorem
Speechless. Even greater the second time. I wrote a whole paragraph only to delete it all. I think I’ve landed on believing the visitor really is “just a boy,” just as Odetta states. We may be inclined to think he’s more than that, but maybe being a human is enough to contain multitudes of divinity, faithlessness, kindness, and cruelty all at the same time. Or maybe he is a God. Or the devil. Or just a boy, or a visitor, or a stranger. I could say “or” this and “or” that 100 more times and I’d still believe them all to be true. I’m sure I’ll have a different opinion entirely the next time I watch it, or maybe even by tomorrow morning.
