Lost Souls: Bringing Out the Dead at 25 | Features | Roger Ebert
Briefly

Scorsese views paramedics as modern saints, driven by compassion in a society filled with suffering, akin to the figures aiding lost souls in biblical narratives.
In 'Bringing Out the Dead,' Frank Pierce's journey encapsulates guilt and redemption, portraying him as a Christ-like figure amidst the decay of urban life.
The film's surreal narrative, filled with Frank's poetic reflections, illustrates his internal struggle, haunted by a failed rescue, merging existential despair with a quest for meaning.
