Sic Transit Gloria uses symbolism and literary references (ranging from the Bible to Dr. Sue's Green Eggs and Ham) to paint a world that runs deeper than the typical "survival of the fittest" mentality of the post-apocalyptic genre. Rather, the overarching theme of innocence verse the depravity of mankind plays a key role in unlocking the true meaning of the film.
Alice (Annalise Klein) , who symbolizes the final shred of innocence in a world that has lost its moral compass, is protected by Jonas (Jesse DiFranco), who remembers a civilized world and wishes to return back to it. The exceptional performance of Mason (Connor Brennan) portraying the forces of evil and self-interest acts as a foil to Jonas.
The film is peppered with thoughtful nuggets. From Alice's white hoodie to symbolize innocence. To the extended conversation of Jonas and Alice, where the film suggests Green Eggs and Ham as the idea of being forced into depravity. "People shouldn't have to eat something if they don't want to," Alice concludes, showing her innocence. "That's an interesting take," the long disillusioned Jonas ironically remarks.
Sic Transit Gloria a reference to "Sic transit gloria mundi" (Thus passes the glory of the world) is an apt story of just how far the world can fall when left to its own devices and passions. It will leave those who like to analyze plenty to chew on.
