One particular metaphor that speaks a metaphysical reality I recall from a very famous movie franchise.

In depending on the light, forwarding love even for one's enemy, and responding to darkness (or hate, fear, hostilities, even death) according to the teaching of righteousness explained in the 12th chapter of the letter to the Roman church, art can often times point to the Way.

Thus the manner some art seems contradictory according to interpretation... besides its intention or inspiration or claims.
