Robocop and Jesus Parallels Explained | Insane Fan Theory (REUPLOAD) | Shotana Studios
93This is a reupload because I had to go back and edit a few clips. Apparently MGM doesn't understand the meaning of fair use, so here is a revised, and yet a bit more polished version of the original. So consider this in a weird way a reboot... (why are they rebooting Robocop?)
SPOILER ALERT!
Today Paul Verhoeven's Robocop turns 30 years old, and what better way to celebrate, than to talk about the age old theory...
Wait this technically isn't a theory anymore. Whatever, I guess we'll explain how a super violent film like Robocop is the modern day story of an American Jesus Christ...
No, seriously.
Sit back relax, and let us break down all the Jesus symbolism in this 80s classic!
RoboCop is a 1987 American cyberpunk action film directed by Paul Verhoeven and written by Edward Neumeier and Michael Miner. The film stars Peter Weller, Nancy Allen, Dan O'Herlihy, Kurtwood Smith, Miguel Ferrer, and Ronny Cox. Set in a crime-ridden Detroit, Michigan, in the near future, RoboCop centers on police officer Alex Murphy (Weller) who is murdered by a gang of criminals and subsequently revived by the megacorporation Omni Consumer Products (OCP) as a superhuman cyborg law enforcer known as RoboCop.
