Apostle 2018 plot analysis:
‘You must travel here alone with the means to purchase my freedom.’
Jennifer writes a letter to her father to make him know her alacrity of emancipation. Her brother Thomas Richardson is going to that wretched island to save her. The captors arrange a man recruitment process to catch the man with ransom but Thomas exchanges his ticket with another man tactfully because his ticket is red signed except others.
Thomas reaches the island without any hindrance. Conversely, the man they fixed to catch the man with ransom, catches the wrong man. The people of this island, Erisden, worship a devilish deity in exchange for their blood sacrifice hoping the barren lands will turn into fertile.
‘Only she decides whether to give or take, we don’t intervene’
We will get to know who this ‘she’ is. Thomas sees a sculpture of a woman at the entrance of the village. A man checks out their mouth, hair to ensure further examination. The next day, when Malcom is telling their three brothers’ rescue story to everyone about how the goddess saved them and showed them the path of making a new nation, a woman figure shows up outside the house. When Thomas checks out, we can see a moving grassy thing attached to the wall.
Malcom and brothers check on the man who has been kept as the man with ransom. He has been beaten so much that he can’t talk. Malcom understands he has brought the wrong man. Since he knows about their crime, they kill him. Malcom doubts there is an intruder in their land. Jeremy and Fion are having an affair, it gets disclosed to Thomas. He was out after ringing the bell. Jeremy fears why he was out.
Thomas catches Jeremy telling a lie when he is asked about Jennifer. Jeremy knew her. They had no choice. The crops are failing. The animals have stopped breeding. They have no means to smuggle food in from the mainland. Her father is rich. They only want money so that they won’t starve. But the money never comes.
Jeremy says if Thomas is in possession of the ransom they seek, he should not pay that. Malcom has his sheep giving birth to another dead animal. He orders all the lads to come over to the church. Meanwhile, Fion asks Andrea if she should be with child as she bled last winter month. Conversely, lads are gathered in the church because last night one of them ventured out after the ringing of the night bell.
He is asking the verse of the book as their punishment. If anyone fails to recite then he will be punished. When it comes to the fifth man, he attacked Malcolm with a knife. Examining the knife, he understands he is from the mainland, he is not with the ransom. The guards kill him immediately. As Thomas gets injured going to save him, Malcolm makes a blood promise that he is indebted for life. Andrea stitches her wound and makes a good connection with him.
But Thomas can’t give her indulgence as she is the daughter of Malcolm. That night, they bring Jennifer to the land and tell the kin of hers’ to come out and save her. But Thomas doesn’t show up so they cut part of her hair. In the morning, Andrea reaches out to her with food. She promises her she will not let anyone do any harm to her. A while later, they bring her back to the hidden place.
Today is the festival night. Everyone embellishes themselves with masks and weird dresses. Thomas will break into the house today. Conversely Malcolm brothers are searching the houses. They are gonna almost give up, at that moment he sees the diagram he drew in a paper. Then they understand everything. Malcolm tells Frank to go to the house. Frank finds his son Jeremy there and he releases him.
Malcolm orders Frank to get his rifle and flush him out. He stands at the end of the secret door getting ready to shoot but finds Frank instead. Thomas goes through the sewerage line and gets blood soaked. There he finds the devilish deity running through the line. He survives the attack and ends up in a shower where he meets Andrea.
When Thomas is changing clothes, we can see burnt marks all over his back. Once he put his faith in Jesus Christ but he didn’t help during his bad time. From then he lost his faith. Andrea shows hope saying he survived after all the sorrow. Andrea takes him to the crop field.
Fion shows Jeremy she is pregnant. Frank wants to leave this land with Jeremy because this land is dead now. Jeremy expresses the desire to take her with him. Quinn observes everything and confronts her. She acknowledges her pregnancy and gets killed by her father. Quinn is such a nefarious person, he put all the blame on Jeremy and impaled the stake through his head.
Malcolm and Frank come and he gets bewildered seeing his son dead. Malcolm asks how he could do it without his permission. Quinn says he is the true leader because he has the courage to put stakes through people’s hearts who are blasphemers. Meanwhile Frank sets the gun to kill the goddess to put an end to this. Frank can’t kill her, on the contrary the masked guard kills him.
Thomas rescues Jennifer but the masked man strikes him to faint. The masked man tries to grind him down but Thomas takes the lead waking up and grinds him instead.
Apostle 2018 Ending Explained:
The goddess tells Thomas how Quinn and Malcolm imprisoned her and forced her into drinking human blood. He sets her free by immolating her. Quinn has tied up Andrea and Jennifer and says he is supposed to be the leader because he is the one who imprisoned the goddess and made everyone aware of her capability.
Thomas shows up and ends the war killing Quinn brutally. The fire is spreading out the village, so everyone gets on the boat. Thomas notices the grasses are getting bigger and the surrounding is greener than ever. This means the goddess’s death sets the village free from curse. Thomas lies in the grass with happiness.
Memorable quotes and dialogues:
‘You were only away for two sunsets and two sunrises.’
This line has touched my heart as it was written so beautifully. We say ‘I haven’t been seeing you for two days’ or ‘You were away from me for two days.’ Instead we can say you were only away for two sunsets.
‘We showed them the glory and the love of God himself and then they showed us the Devil.’
Thomas once was a believer of Jesus Christ. He had a parish in Peking. He preached there but the people of that state attacked him for preaching Christianity. They burnt him with a cross over his back.
“We have a god in chains poisoning us from the inside out…I’ll go to my grave washing the blood of that wee soul from my hands.”
Frank was saying sadly that they chained up the goddess and took blood from innocent people. When his death would come, he would have to wash off the blood of the people from his hand at the time of his last bath. He couldn’t do that anymore that’s why he was leaving the island with his son Jeremy.
‘Live, and be the light that guides me to eternity.’
In the end, when Jennifer was holding his head into her lap, he told her to live long and make herself such a guiding light that can lead him all his life in eternity.
Who was the man that attacked Malcolm in the church?
He was a spy, sent by the king. He came here to know about this heathen land. When he gets to know that people sacrifice their blood to worship a deity, he plans to attack them.
‘I want him to be a prisoner in possession of answers, not a corpse.’ What does it mean in Apostle 2018?
When it’s time to capture Thomas, Malcolm sends away Frank to get him, not Quinn. Because he has got a bad temper that can make Thomas a corpse. Malcolm wants him to be a prisoner, not a corpse.
