Asteroid City Explained | What the Alien Really Means

Asteroid City explained how art can help us with the grieving process. When the alien takes the arid plains meteorite, the convention attendees are left in a state of shock and distress. Suddenly, they must confront the abrupt absence of a beloved object that has been a constant throughout their lives. Without the asteroid, the site loses its meaning, all that’s left is an empty crater. Therefore, the alien, as the taker of the asteroid, can be thought of as a metaphor for death; an unstoppable force that deprives us of our loved ones and leaves us with a heart-wrenching reminder of their absence. The characters' reactions to this symbolic event help them to overcome their grief, a journey shared by the actors playing them. //Follow me// Twitter:   / jake_bishop_   Instagram:   / jake_bishop   Blog/Website: https://www.jakebishop.net //Contact me// Business enquiries: [email protected]
