There are more of course. Q talks about some specific movies, or how certain events are like a movie, but I have been pondering the question, what makes a good movie? I have been thinking about the events currently unfolding, and movies.
Movies contain many elements. Heroes, villains, action, tension, suspense, character arcs, gadgetry, symbolism, story, overcoming great odds, journeys, special effects, dialog, schemes.... etc. Why would we be told to, think movie? One thought I've had is we were being primed to expect a movie level of absurdity to manifest in reality. Like the absurdity of the old Bond villains, set on world destruction. I always found those characters so extreme as to be absurd, but now it seems reality contains more than Bond villian levels of absurdity. We were being told, yes, such evil is real. Such plans are on motion. Believe that you are in mortal danger, and the future of humanity is in question.
"movie" is being used figuratively, not literally.
Read OPs statement again:
Wake up. This isnt a fucking movie.
Nope it isn't, but people can't believe it, that is why the contrast has to be made. All that "evil" you see in movies.... Thanos, Scar, the Emperor, Voldemort, Kahn, Sauron etc.etc. are nothing compared to the actual evil being perpetrated in the real world.
This is why Hollywood has flipped the script the last 6 years or so, trying to "humanize" the evil. Thanos wasn't "that bad", Maleficent was "just misunderstood "... all that crap. Trying to convince the idiots that evil doesn't exist, it is just a misunderstanding, a product of victimhood, and twist of fate.
👆 This. Absolutely. 100%
This is why when I explain to people about the forced abortions and the human rights atrocities happening in China, they're shocked.
🤣🤣🤣 It's funny to think: "For the sheep, this is simply the movie where Donald Trump gets a redemption arc."
All THIS ^^^^ in the above comments by u/ChronicMetamorphosis and u/Hemanbattlecat
For years now, these Hollywood types have joined forces with their ugly, less popular kin in DC in an effort to "drive narratives."
For the weak-minded, they have generally succeeded.
These days, every "product" from toilet paper to a political candidate is vetted, made over, focus grouped, test-marketed ad nauseum. These human products from Congress critters to freshy fresh starlets are pretty much led around by the nose and told what to do by handlers, hangers on, suckfish agents and advisors. It's all financed by the money'd folks who call the shots for their own selfish goals.
There are no coincidences.
It was all pretty much laid out in the 1997 movie that inspired their lot to set about really refining their efforts. Wag the Dog.
Check out this dialogue between lead characters Stanley Motss, (rich, famous, arrogant Hollywood producer hired to drive the narrative in support of a presidential campaign) and the guy who hires him, Conrad 'Connie' Brean -- spin doctor whose job is to do WHATEVER IT TAKES to polish the president's "image." Brean cares not one whit if it helps the country and the people he purports to represent:
FROM IMDB, Wag the Dog (1997), Quotes
Stanley Motss: I'm in show business, yes? Why come to me?
Conrad 'Connie' Brean: Well I'll tell you why, Mr Motss. '54-40-Or Fight', what does that mean?
Stanley Motss: It's a slogan, it's from the, uh...
Conrad 'Connie' Brean: 'Remember the Maine'!
Stanley Motss: Oh yeah, that's from - that's gotta be from the, uh...
Conrad 'Connie' Brean: 'Tippecanoe and Tyler Too'!
Stanley Motss: No, that's not, uh...
Conrad 'Connie' Brean: They're war slogans, Mr. Motss. We remember the slogans, we can't even remember the fucking wars. You know why? That's show business. That's why we're here. Naked girl covered in Napalm. 'V for Victory'. Five Marines raising the flag, Mt. Suribachi. You remember the picture 50 years from now, you'll have forgotten the war. The Gulf War, smart bomb falling down a chimney. 2500 missions a day, 100 days. ONE video of ONE bomb Mr. Motts, the American people bought that war. War is show business - that's why we're here.
These people are SICK.
One example: Cooking and dealing Meth is made glamorous and fun a la Walter White and Jesse Pinkman in Breaking Bad.
Exactly. They are teaching moral relativity through the media and academia. Oh sure murder is bad, unless you're killing a baby, or this, or that. Then it's stunning and brave. Sure cooking meth is bad, but Walter had cancer, he had to. Sure Dexter murdered people, but they were murders too! The anti-hero is poison.
Yes it is. You’re a spiritual being living in a physical vessel. Death is fake, totally made up to control you. It is a movie because you’re watching something in a world that isn’t really yours.
People who live as if death is fake are either reckless or hedonists
Very few people can actually live like that. The ones who do tend to be completely insane.
In your view. In theirs they are completely normal lol
I don’t necessarily disagree. But valuing life and not fearing death don’t necessarily need to be opposites.
Want to test that theory?
Your actions have meaning. Your actions have consequences. Why do something 17 times if it has no meaning?
Typical Cave mentality.
I VALUE life. I try to do GOOD, but I am imperfect. Valuing my life does not mean I desire death.
You can value life, do good in the world, and not fear death. These are not all mutually exclusive.
Are the vaxxxed injuries & deaths good actors?
Have you ever watched the 90's disaster movies? Lots of random people die.
Random? How about your family will be protected?
Never seen a film before?
Those idiots chose to get the shot. Free will. Hell my own wife chose to get it. She isn't feeling so well these days....
