In Front | Ezekiel in Art and Film, Part 1
Many artists in history referenced Ezekiel for its vivid imagery and description of the apocalypse. One notable example is the British poet and painter William Blake (1757–1827). He was inspired by the visions in Ezekiel and devoted a number of his paintings to portraying them.
For an example of a more contemporary, pop-culture reference, we might look to the 1984 film Ghostbusters. A number of biblical references are made in a scene in which members of a paranormal investigation and elimination team are facing a crisis. Two of their references relate to Ezekiel:
Dr. Peter Venkman: This city is headed for a disaster of biblical proportions.
Mayor: What do you mean, “biblical”?
Dr. Ray Stantz: What he means is Old Testament, Mr. Mayor, real wrath of God type stuff.
Dr. Peter Venkman: Exactly.
Dr. Ray Stantz: Fire and brimstone coming down from the skies! Rivers and seas boiling!
Dr. Egon Spengler: Forty years of darkness! Earthquakes, volcanoes …
Winston Zeddemore: The dead rising from the grave!
Dr. Peter Venkman: Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together … mass hysteria!
Mayor: All right, all right! I get the point!
