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.
It’s a horrible movie with few good parts. I hope it has a better ending than GoT.
So bad it caused me to theorize that Intel agencies infiltrated and sabotaged it while wargaming the criticism and fall out, so as to monitor the influence and track dissent. I imagine an entire project where trainees are like "show me the real time location of the top 30 meme creators" and "who from this reddit thread was in the same place this week?"
If you switch GoT to like Hillary Clinton or vaccines then it has chilling actionable potential on a global scale.
