The two paths cross in the film’s thrilling finale, where Spike is being chased by the infected, but is rescued by Jimmy and his fighting “Fingers”, a young gang of seven who dress like their “gods”.

While the audience may have seen these Savile signatures as a warning that Jimmy could not be trusted, we speculated that Jimmy would not have known he was leaving a hint, because he would not have known the terrible truth about Savile.
DaCosta confirmed our suspicions. She said of Jimmy, “He distorts a lot of things, but noted after 28 years And bone temple“The culture ended in 2001.” Notably, Savile was not publicly exposed as a sexual predator until after his death in 2011. Therefore, for Jimmy, Saville was worthy of admiration, just as he admires the Teletubbies.

O’Connell said he could relate to Jimmy on this level, saying, “I was finding myself quite enthusiastic, because I was nostalgic about that period anyway.”
Furthermore, O’Connell described how Jimmy is “deeply traumatized by watching his family being killed before his eyes.” Yet O’Connell was pleased that Garland’s script and DaCosta’s vision did not allow Jimmy to free himself from the violence caused by his trauma. Instead, it gave him a title as Dr. Ian Kelson (Ralph Fiennes). “What I love about the movie – too – we see Jimmy’s unleashed depravity,” he said, “with Dr. Kelson, with his advances in medicine and his inquisitive mind, wanting to know what it was about the infected – and whether it could be cured. You have these two storylines coming together and then they meet… You have the ultimate dark hope.”

When shooting scenes involving Jimmy’s dark fanaticism and his violent rituals, DaCosta had a clear vision of how it would look. “It was really important for me to stick to this, we’ll sit over these actors and watch them,” he explained, “because that’s when we as an audience see the person for who they are, not just the monster. Because in every monster there’s a person who is kind of infected, in a way.”
He noted that Jimmy had a resemblance to the infected alpha, Samson, saying, “It’s like they’re infected – they’re not really monsters. They’re sick. So, that was very important to me.”
Linking this to Jimmy and Kelson, the Satanist dictator and “atheist doctor”, DaCosta said, “It’s really beautiful to see Kelson teasing – like a psychotic phenomenon – ‘So do you talk to your dad in your head?’ But you also realize, like, Jimmy really thought he could see his dad. [at the Bone Temple]And he’s alone, you know? You feel that in that scene,” she said, turning to O’Connell at the end, “I thought you played it beautifully.”
how’s that.
