what really gets me about father jud in wake up dead man is that every person he meets, he immediately tries to understand. when he meets blanc, he asks questions about his faith, his childhood, etc. and really listens. he asks vera about her motivations as a lawyer, tries to engage with cy, talks about nat’s relationship with his wife and subsequent struggles, notices martha putting in all of the work around the church, even listens to samson talk about his addiction. this is in part due to the structure of the mystery, but i think it really works to advance the themes of the movie. jud treats everyone like a complex human being and not a one-dimensional caricature—not a “wolf”.
