What the fuck was his problem?

The girl was underage.
I guess he preferred his eggsscrambled
He knew exactly what was in the egg and couldn't allow the girl to live with her disillusionment much longer. Through breaking the egg he was able to show her truth and thus "liberate" her.
The whole thing is about losing ones religion, in particular Christianity.

he looks really cool

No, you can interpret it in many ways and that appears to be yours. I view the movie as an allegory to the rapture and Christ liberating people from their superstitions to let them focus again on the important parts of religion.

>>151356406
These are very different interpretations.
I'm just going to say that now
>>151356529
This one makes the most sense because he literally was carrying the cross.
>>151356529
>>151356717
Also he used the cross to break the egg

IN THE CORNER!
i didn't understand a shit, but the art was really awesome

He's supposed to be Jesus Christ. As everybody knows he's the only one allowed to lay eggs on Easter, that "angel" was actually satan.

except the whole thing was done while the director was going through a disillusionment with Christianity...

>a disillusionment with Christianity
So did the Protestants but they didn't abandon it either, did they?
>>151358466
Oshii did though
>>151358514
That is true, though Oshii has stated before even he doesn't know what the movie is about, where the before mentioned multiple interpretations come in. He also co-wrote it with someone else so it's debatable how much of the story is actually his own, and Oshii has shown again and again with his philosophical works that he can be very openminded and allow interpretation up to the viewer instead of hamfisting in a message, so his abandonment of the Christian religion might only have set him off to do an exploratory and almost unbiased work on Christianity.

So his leaving of christianity allowed to write a story painting christianity in a good light if that's the story you found with all the information?I can buy that
>>151359177
From what I hear of people who leave an organized religion, they usually do so as a consequence of the nonsense and superstitions surrounding it. Though an organized religion should reinforce a connection to a higher power, it can actually do the reverse for a lot of people. Angel's Egg might have been Oshii's attempt to express that.
