Heel–Faith Turn
 The Omen (2006) / int_266a9dd6
comment
Heel–Faith Turn: Lampshaded by Keith, who pokes fun at people spontaneously regaining their faith when they're in danger of death. Robert himself, while no villain, initially rejects supernatural reasoning about Damien and he's implied to undergo a Crisis of Faith throughout the film. He regains his faith while trying to kill Damien in a church, which ultimately fails anyway.

Shoot the Shaggy Dog/Downer Ending: Robert spends the entire second half of the film trying to find about Damien's origins and, upon learning that he's the Antichrist, is directed to kill him after several periods of backing away. Just when he finally gains the courage and chance to do it, he is shot by the ambassador protection squad.

comment
The Stars Are Going Out? It's an inverted Star of Bethlehem, which represents the Jews rising, so it means that they're falling down to the Roman Empire, whose capital was Rome. What happened in Rome recently? It's where the Treaty of Rome is agreed to that led to the establishment of the European Economic Community, the precursor of The European Union. The freakin' European Union is a sign of the end times.

Large Ham: Michael Gambon as Bugenhagen breaks off the film's largely monotone dialogue and cold atmosphere with some warming gems. It's kind of a shocking contrast when the audience is suddenly blasted by this after the quiet scenes in Italy.

Signs of the End Times
 The Omen (2006) / int_8738b454
comment
Signs of the End Times: The backdrop of the film. The Vatican recognizes that some of the recent major events are manifestations of the prophecies mentioned in Book of Revelation if seen from a modern context. Damien's birth was when things just get even more dangerous. Robert and Keith discuss this while looking for Spiletto. The Lamb standing on Mount Zion? The Lamb represents the Jews of course, and for all we know, they now have stood back again on Zion. The Stars Are Going Out? It's an inverted Star of Bethlehem, which represents the Jews rising, so it means that they're falling down to the Roman Empire, whose capital was Rome. What happened in Rome recently? It's where the Treaty of Rome is agreed to that led to the establishment of the European Economic Community, the precursor of The European Union. The freakin' European Union is a sign of the end times. The Beast emerges from the sea? The sea is modern-day politics. Robert is an ambassador. You do the math.

Babysitter from Hell: Not to Damien of course, but everything bad that happens to the Thorns just get more south once Mrs. Baylock fills in the vacant babysitter role. Like causing Kate's death. It's because she's a Satanist sent to cater the Antichrist (i.e. Damien).
