McConaughey and Foster. They are not just dramatic confrontations. In fact, it becomes a kind of confusion and displacement
(think what Zizek and Lacan would say.)
At the end, Foster travels through a wormhole and meets intelligent beings in another dimension. In fact, this "other space" has become a "meta-world" for human beings. And the so-called intelligent creatures have become an uppercase Other for human beings. As explained in the film's lines, the sub-creator is not the original creator - nor is he God. And the big Other who led this creature to come had already left when they came to this meta world, and they had no way to ask, no trace to be found.
The existence of the Metaverse and the Big Other made Foster the first messenger who was truly present, a disciple who truly received the oracle. This act disrupted the existence of all servants of the Lord who had ever claimed to be present on Earth. Such as the priest McConaughey. Power also collapsed. Therefore, it stands to reason that when Foster returns from the meta-world or another space, as a messenger, the first thing the priest has to do is to kill this person, so that the discourse power of the meta-narrative cannot be left to others. hand. For Foster, a bigger problem also arises, how can she confirm her presence and the real existence of a big Other. In fact, she could never prove it. (Once the Other becomes figurative, "I" is caught in a logical loop of circular interpretation.)
Humans pass through the real, the imaginary, and the symbolic. Even if you reach a kind of meta space, you still can't explain your presence.
At this point, the movie can end.
