Is it just me, or are there more and more films being released that have blatant occult/fringe themes lately? What's going on here? It's like they're purposely playing right into the hands of the conspiracy theorists, giving them plenty to write about, or perhaps this is a phase of "putting the truth out there" to covertly alert people to what's going on - not that most people would probably notice. I went to see Heath Ledger's final film, "The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus", a couple of weeks ago and mostly it was just totally out-there and trippy....bizarre. But certain parts made my hair stand on end. There were the cryptic lines, almost like 'trigger' phrases, that popped out from time to time (like "nothing is permanent ....... not even death"); frequent references to mind control (in fact that's the underlying theme of the film); someone making a "deal with the devil" which involved handing over his daughter to him (the devil) when she reached the age of 16 (a little creepy, no?); glass shattering (in mind control symbolism this represents a shattered/split mind) around lead actress & model Lily Cole as she tried to escape from some nightmarish reality, which was actually a creation of her own mind (the guy from Pseudo Occult Media would have a field day with this stuff!); and last but not least, the Illuminati symbol, the eye within a pyramid, which appears not only on Doctor Parnassus's trailer-stage-show-thingy but also on Heath Ledger's forehead while he is hanging as if dead. It's just too darn easy for conspiracy theorists to draw conclusions from this. It's spooky. Anyway, I can't say I enjoyed this film, but I left feeling like I'd just come out of a nightmare which had some important meaning I couldn't grasp.
And now, for the film I've just seen, The Men Who Stare At Goats. Ridiculous name, I honestly thought "Well, I won't be going to see THAT film" when I saw the poster, but when I read what it was about I knew I HAD to see it. It's basically a lighthearted comedy based on top-secret US military experiments involving psychic powers, remote viewing and stuff, which really happened by the way. I didn't really find the film funny but everyone around me was laughing - are the filmmakers trying to make light entertainment of a serious subject, like how they disguised The Matrix as 'just' a fantastical sci-fi film? It seems that way. Anyway, I was literally FLOORED during this movie when firstly the reporter guy (Ewan McGregor) has - what else - but THE ILLUMINATI EYE-WITHIN-THE-PYRAMID SYMBOL scribbled in his notebook..... and then later, George Clooney the psychic reveals the same symbol tattooed on his chest. I was like, crap, crap, crap. WHAT IS GOING ON?!??!!? Also mentioned in the film is MKULTRA, the top-secret mind control project, which some conspiracy theorists (is it degrading to use that term, because after all, I am a conspiracy theorist?!) believe is still ongoing today. And there is reference to the illegal experiments performed on men who were drugged with LSD without their consent. AND there's some guy in the film who is seen to be a mind-controlled assassin, who is drugged, traumatized and then goes wild, grabbing a gun and going on a shooting rampage. I'm sure there's more stuff that made my jaw drop at the blatancy of it, but I can't remember it all. Again I didn't really get the point of the film or how it all fit together, but I came out feeling like it was important, there had to be significance in it given the weighty subject matter of the film. WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN???
Finally there's another film out now which I haven't actually seen, but it seems noteworthy: 2012. It's about an apocalyptic cataclysm, as prophesied by the Mayans to occur in that very year. To those of us who are in the know ;) , 2012 is a numerologically significant date, either the end of the world, the beginning of a new age, a time for mass ascension of humanity, or a massive distraction tool, depending on who you ask. Anyway, the fact that a film has been made about the topic suggests that "they" want to draw attention to this date, to let the masses know about its potential importance and the Mayan prophecies. Or maybe it's just an excuse to ram the "CLIMATE CHANGE IS GOING TO KILL US ALL!!!!!!!!!!" message down our throats once again. I don't know - I haven't seen the film so I don't know what spin they put on it.
Anyway, weird times! As should be obvious from my blog, I am into conspiracy/fringe subjects in a big way, and consider myself a believer - yet I often almost 'forget' this stuff when I'm going about daily life, as if I don't fully believe it somehow. And then I'm watching mainstream Hollywood films that really shouldn't be deep or meaningful in any way, and there it is - Illuminati symbolism, right in front of your face. WTF.

I've noticed that a lot about movies these days, and am always wondering what is really up their sleeve. What are they trying to accomplish, there are mixed messages and i honestly think it can confuse and distract the ignorant and/or bring out the 'truthseeker' in the open-minded.
Anyways, based on my movie watching experiences, and i do watch a lot of movies, i've noticed that fringe movies and tv shows have grown rapidly this year so something is really up and i am excited to see how this unfolds.
