Above left - from The Keep: Glaeken Trismegistus travels by boat toward Romania. We note that there's no engine noise in this scene, and the sails are not raised, but the ship is still moving through the water at a good speed. Above right - from Heat: Neil looks out the large window of his Malibu beach house. Left - from Thief: Frank (left) sits with a fisherman on a jetty in a lake.
We are to interpret each of the above three scenes, as depictions of the Holy Spirit moving over the waters as told at the beginning of the biblical book of Genesis. For the majority of Christians, the Holy Spirit (prior English language usage: the Holy Ghost from Old English gast, "spirit") is the third person of the Holy Trinity—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.[a]
Genesis 1:1-8 read as follows [New International Version]:
1. In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 2. Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters. 3. And God said, "Let there be light," and there was light. 4. God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness. 5. God called the light "day," and the darkness he called "night." And there was evening, and there was morning--the first day. 6. And God said, "Let there be a vault between the waters to separate water from water." 7. So God made the vault and separated the water under the vault from the water above it. And it was so. 8. God called the vault "sky." And there was evening, and there was morning--the second day.
