I am currently watching a YouTube video of an analysis of "Under the Silver Lake" and it is very engaging with its overt symbolism and soft disclosure of Hollywood elite practices.
I was wondering if anyone else had recommendations, either for movies with blatant coding and symbolism or for documentaries exploring said movies.
I'm looking more for videos rather than articles/blogs. While I appreciate Decoding Symbols on WordPress, it is often too dense and scattershot for me to follow.
I have the same difficulty with the decoding symbols blog. But I love it anyway. And suggest one of the posts there, specifically the one that decodes Raiders of the Lost Ark. If you stick to that section, it's pretty coherent. Same for the Smokey and The Bandit / Star Wars decodes.
But I'll come back to this thread to see if others have good recommendations.
I appreciate it the point of focus on the blog! I feel that's often the problems with decoding: it's difficult to stay focused on one thing because of the need to relay the connective tissue between ideas, or that the leaps are often too far and require multiple steps. Unfortunately, I haven't really come across anything at my level. Not saying I am an expert, but there really is no "intermediate" level of stuff like this online. At least, not in my experience. Hence the post.
I hope more recs get dropped! I really appreciate you taking the time.
My pleasure. Come to think of it, most of the movie decodes from that blog are solid. It would be nice if they were shorter standalone blogs, but unfortunately for me as a reader, that's just not how the author works. He did Rosemary's Baby, Chinatown, and Clockwork Orange. Generally they are sections within a given post. There was a section on Clockwork Orange where the difference between "real people" and "everyone else" gave strong insights into how the cabal cells work, and was well worth the time, even if you ignore other large sections of the post.
