movies (Page 10 of 31)

Ayahuasca,
Thanks for posting the Clyde Lewis article on Star Wars.  Below, I pasted some selections from near the end of the article:

One hopes that the dark side is overcome. However, we are seeing that the darker more reptilian side is embraced by a critical mass of people and encouraged through the media and, of course, in current science fiction stories.

The secret societal stronghold of death fetishism, mind control, and conditioning has now been exposed. The triumvirate of government, religion, and commerce has developed a system of programming in which information can be inserted into the public consciousness and taken away or dismissed at will, in order to get a reaction from those who don’t even bother to question the intent of the information.
…
The mysteries of the secret institutions hold a duality as well. Those in power who are members of these groups appear to be looking out for our best interests, but in secret they bear different names and have different responsibilities to carry out an even bigger agenda.
…
Looking at the Star Wars mythology we can also see that duality plays a big role in the stories of the main characters. It is interesting to see how the ruling class in the story tends to be focused on duality, bloodlines and an unknown force that drives them.

The focus is primarily on the duality, bloodline and force of Anakin Skywalker. The extremes are the underlying tone set for the entire journey. Anakin represents the extreme good and innocence that is killed off for the advent of extreme evil.

All criminals, murderers and dictators were once innocent children. Somewhere they experience loss and the fear that they may have to go to extremes in order to save that which they love or destroy that which they feel threatens them.

Anakin meets others in powerful positions that also have a duality that they have to deal with. Queen Padme Amidala appears as a painted monarch (Amidala) and eventually shows herself as a more adventurous and rebellious girl (Padme). This duality is different than Anakin’s because it is more of emotions and protocols rather than good and evil.
Being the Padme persona makes her feel safer than in her queenly vestiges. We begin to see her evolution as the movies progress. Eventually she sees the value of being true to her personal convictions.

This means that she must choose between policy and protocol and her intuition that she has kept to herself. She learns that listening to that inner voice is far more valuable. She eventually sees it as a far better choice to become more comfortable with being honest to those around her.

The most frightening duality is that of Senator Palpatine. On the outside he is respected figure of the republic. He uses his outside persona as way to gain confidence with those around him. Underneath this false mask is Darth Sidious, a Dark Lord of the Sith.
This is his real self.

He is a predator who uses divisive methods to deceive those around him. The danger is that in his powerful position he can use whatever means necessary to create the idea that he is being persecuted and that there is conspiracy to destroy him.

There have already been many political writers that have speculated that George Lucas has been writing about the situation that we are in today and has hidden them in his Star Wars scripts. 

However, it must be realized that what Lucas has done is to retell a story that continues to repeat in our history. From the Roman Empire to Nazi Germany, we have all learned about these events, and if we are projecting them on to our realities then we must take a look at what this means.

I see it as a metaphor to hint that we must look into ourselves and wonder if we are on the right side or the wrong side. Are we looking at the mirror and seeing what we want to see, or what is the true image of what is happening?

"The World is governed by different personages from what is imagined by those who are not behind the scenes." –Benjamin Disraeli
…

In the Star Wars movies, the Phantom Menace was Senator Palpatine. He was orchestrating the fall of all that was good and he used all of the tools he could to deceive everyone, including the confused and troubled Anakin Skywalker.  Anakin represents innocence. Palpatine represents abuse of power to rob innocence of its virtue.

The mirroring of Anakin and the Republic and the dark forces hidden behind evil men and women in the powerful elite are beginning to take shape. If you see it in our reality and understand its metaphoric implications, you may be able to avoid the dark force that looms over us on a day to day basis.

Many people won’t see it, and, needless to say, the media will not point out how the Star Wars movies are a lesson in how fascism rises in times of crisis.

Using the media as a tool to engineer society, the powerful and shadowy elite give us bits and pieces of the vision. They expose us to abstract shadows. We are compelled to watch and we wait in long lines to be stimulated by the tricks of the flickering image, being told that it is only a movie when it is so much more.

Thanks Sheesh.

Here is a substantial thread on "trauma based mind control" for anyone who is interested:
http://noblerealms.org/forum/viewtopic.php?id=182

Two movies that the author describes as having an awareness raising aspect to them are Mulholland Drive and Eyes Wide Shut.

Here is the section on Mulholland Dr.:

"The one major area that has not been covered so far is the heavy Illuminist indoctrination of Hollywood. We know of only one movie that was directly intended to expose this Hollywood indoctrination – Mulholland Drive by David Lynch."

"After reading a healthy dose of Svali, the bizarre, frightening Mulholland Drive makes perfect sense – mafia / Illuminist control of Hollywood movie production, the frightening blackmail character known as "the Cowboy," (probably indicative of Bush Administration and cronies,) mind-controlled attractive blonde females preferentially given movie roles by Mafia honchos despite lack of talent, a demon that actually manifests at the end of the movie and is holding a blue box and key symbolic of mind control techniques, the betrayal of friends at the hands of others, hidden assassinations, Luciferian nighttime rituals featuring an opera singer and magician with supernatural evil events, et cetera. Most people say they do not understand this movie."

The various points made on the other movies have some insight to them.  In addition, a case could be made that portrayals of negative control techniques and methods has the result that some people learn more about them and this can create a beneficial effect.

As for Star Wars, some interesting parallels to "knowledge" out there in the alternative sources.  Darth Maul said to be just like a reptilian, as described by Icke's friend, Credo, and Palpatine seeming to "get off" on Anakin's strong, negative emotions, ala "loosh".

Is Lucas a goodie or a baddie?

for some reason,

"don't shoot the messenger"

comes to mind

Hello

I just watched a movie that i never even knew existed. After watching it i could understand why this one was .. "swept under the rug" and not promoted very openly...

the movie is called "The Final Cut" and it stars Robin Williams

Its about implanting society with cerebral micrichips into peoples' brains in order to record every single moment of their life... they do this (called a Zoe Implant) in hopes of saving deceased ones' memories so that their families and friends can relish that dead person's life

Robin Williams is a "cutter", an editor who takes the implant, and sifts thru the memories (and chats with the families) and picks out the highlights to make into a nice little movie, called a "remomory"

among the themese presented in this movie, the most prominent is the controversy of this entire "microchipping humans" scenario... but more specifically the ownership of ones' own memories, plus all of the "not-so-good" moments that every person has (and some darker moments of others) -  it also touches on the fact that the mind/memory tends to warp real events in the past, shaping them and remmembering them differently as time passes...

the movie pushes the "microchippin humans" is NOT GOOD. and this is why this movie was kind of put on th backburner, and never really talked about... because it goes against the impending plans to implant humanity.

a highly reccomended movie, it was pretty intense!

Well, here's some more information on the movie and what IMDB users have to say about it, good and bad:

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0364343/

I haven't seen it myself, so, can't comment. 

And as I always say, everyone is entitled to my own opinion   I'm critical of most movies, see very few that I want to watch all the way thru--I bailed out on "Final Cut."

But here's one I saw recently and really enjoyed: "Kontroll", from Hungary, about subway ticket takers in Budapest.  The whole movie takes place in the subway, showing the camaraderie and rivalry among the workers, and spotlighting one who apparently has chosen to live there full-time, sleeping on the subway floor at night. Surreal, exciting, funny, excellent acting, innovative cinematography and a great score by Neo.  Someone gives a little speech right at the beginning proclaiming that it's about the struggle between good and evil, which seems apropos enough.

It's out on DVD now, see it!
