12 minutes of Filialore..please, Filianomore

Right before production on Angel's Egg, Mamoru Oshii is widely cited to have lost his faith in Christianity. Given all the religious symbolism in the movie, it's undoubtedly a movie about faith.

According to Absurdist philosophy, there is a fundamental disharmony between the individual's search for meaning, and the meaninglessness of the universe. Three solutions are offered for this problem -

First: A leap of faith. An unproveable belief in a reality beyond this world.

Second, suicide. Escaping a pointless existence.

Third, acceptance of an Absurd existence, and the freedom that comes with creating your own meaning.

In a way, the girl goes through all three of these phases. She believes that something is inside the egg. When it's crushed, she throws herself into a ravine. After throwing herself in, she undergoes a revival - with the girl herself becoming the object of her faith.
