Holy cow. My mind is blown. Everything from the title, to the director dying 5 days after submitting the final cut, to the location chosen to film the cult party. These links are a long read but a great explanation of the movie.
So many unbelievable things that I've come across in this group are confirmed by this movie. I saw someone mention it in a comment months ago and glad I finally came around to watching it. It was very strange in the beginning, but you have to remember you're not watching a regular movie, you're watching someone trying to show you what's going on without explicitly saying it. After reading the above articles I am just blown away.
Remember when Tom cruise kept going to the rainbow costume shop, and he saw the owners underage daughter with grown men ? What ever she whispered to Tom cruise was the entire point of the movie. At the end of the movie, Tom Cruise's daughter is seen leaving the toy store with two grown men . I swear tom cruise and Nicole Kidman gave their daughter to the cult and became members....the movie is that freaky.
McCanns.
Eesh that's a disturbing thought.
That I have seen
Yes, she was. Apparently if you watch the scene where they are talking while their daughter is taken you'll see a teddy bear in the background behind Tom and Kim. When the camera first shows it there is nothing on it, when the camera shows the bear again there is now a doll in a dress similar to their daughter's sitting on the bear's lap. This was Kubrick's way of subtly telling the truth of their daughter's fate.
He used teddy bears (in the Shining too) as comms for pedos. Teddy bears = pedo in Kubrick movies. Their daughter is now in the lap of the teddy bears.
There was a teddy bear in Full Metal Jacket as well.
There is a ton of Over the Rainbow symbolism in that film. Check out Rob Ager's breakdown of just one weird aspect of it HERE.
Ager is a phenomenal film student and I consider just about everything he does essential. He points out stuff that we, as Q, know has double meanings. He knows it has double meanings as well - his work on The Shining has his most explicit takes. For some reason he shies away from commiting to the "out there" theories he wants to present with EWS (even mentioning in some "I want to preface this..." Etc to let you know he's holding back. Probably doesn't want to be killed.
He also has a site where he sells in-depth extra analysis (his free stuff is AMAZING I assume the pay stuff is jaw dropping), and "funnily enough" most of his extensive EWS material is behind this paywall. Hrmmm. ?
Anyway, the big 3 of The Shining, EWS and 2001 are all about different aspects of EVIL and GOOD, and they all relate to the Cabal. Twin Peaks does as well.
