In My vision, Satan would NEVER look like a horned monster. In my own perspective on things, Satan has no reason to look like a monster, unless being in hell for so long had effects on his body. To me, Satan would always look like a beautiful, sexy man that commands power and respect.
Yeah, and I haven't read too much of Paradise Lost, but I do know the basic gist of it. Paradise lost would be great to see, and I'd pay a ticket for it, but I have my own vision on the subject.
I hope to one day be a great filmmaker and make my own set of films based on this topic, unrelated to Paradise Lost.
In my world, I would try to bring a little bit of reality into the drastically different world of biblical scripture. Heaven and Hell wouldn't be just flat plains of reality, they would be entire universes in and of themselves. They would be parallel realities existing side by side with our physical universe and have their own set of laws of reality. So heaven and hell are just two reflections of reality going to opposite extremes, so everything in our universe is in theirs, just exaggerated in respect to their realities.
In other words, yes, we will see angels battling in outer space, among asteroid fields and comets and stars and planets beyond our solar system.
Like in the spirit realm, or realms closer to Heaven, beings could pass through water without the need to hold their breath, since they no longer breathe air; they absorb energy from the universe.
And I would incorporate elements from other religions and paranormal faiths like reincarnation and astral projection.
The heavenly dimensions would be bright, lively, spacious, warm, and colorful, while the hellish dimensions would be dark, desolate, claustrophopic, cold, and desaturated. And of course there would be different "levels" to both, like what we read in scripture about the multiple "heavens", exceeding 7 levels sometimes, depending on the writer, and the levels of hell, like what we read in Dante's Inferno.
And my take on the angels is that they are not Androgynous. In the tale of Sodom and Gomorra, the angels that visited Lot were lusted after by the residents of the cities because they were so beautiful, and those were male angels, and even the men of those cities wanted them. So in my reality, Angels are among the most beautiful, sexy, and graceful beings in creation. The males would be very Masculine, and the females very Feminine. No mixing the two together.
The only reasons Angels were depicted in Renaissance art as Androgynous is because the priests requested they be Androgynous, so that the women attending church wouldn't lust after them.
In other words, Angels will make your jaw drop and your pants rise.
And about Angel wings. If they were to be depicted with wings, I think the wings should be like a hummingbirds; super fast. Their wings would flap super fast because hummingbirds are very graceful due to the fact that they can hover in place. Other birds look clumsy in comparison to hummingbirds. Hummingbirds have no problem going around cramped areas, but other birds slam into walls and such because they can't hover. So the Angels would have hummingbird speed to their wings.
And the environments of heaven would be like James Cameron's "Avatar" on steroids, where everything is super beautiful and larger than life.
more to come later. What do you think?
