Tilda Swinton's performance as the binary-defying angel Gabriel was a revelation for this baby queer.
Gabriel is in a pinstripe suit, facing the fire. Constantine approaches and dark wings appear, flaring outwards. Constantine averts his eyes,reverent; this is, after all, the creature titled the strength of God. The display is meant to impress and frighten. Gabriel turns, and they’re wearing a big tie, a classic blue button down, sporting an asymmetrical, androgynous haircut and without any kind of beauty makeup on.
It’s not just Gabriel that occupies this third-thing space, but it’s also that the whole film is obsessed with crossing boundaries, challenging authority, and destroying binaries . There is no rule or piece of lore laid out for us that is not broken at some point over the course of the film. This is dramatically revealed in the final third act of the movie when it turns out that Gabriel themselves is attempting to release the anti-Christ, the spawn of Satan, on the earth.
