WHAT IS THE “HIDDEN PLOT” BEHIND THE FILM ‘TITANIC'?

Like an alchemical treatise, James Cameron's film is laden with symbolism. The shipwreck of the Titanic symbolizes the financial situation of the Illuminati sect which was very precarious at the time as a result of the treasurer's flight with all the credit cards and the silver cutlery. The epic romance between Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio represents the idyll between Capitalism and Communism to which the most recalcitrant members of the sect aspire. The iceberg against which (to the viewer's astonishment) the Ocean liner collides, symbolizes the asteroid that crashed into Earth 66 million years ago killing the dinosaurs, who in turn represent the members of the sect all of whom were by then pessimistic about their survival as a consequence of the drastic reduction of their salaries. In any case, the tragic ending of the film was highly controversial during the writing of the script, and many Illuminati advocated a happy ending in which the ship not only did not sink but took flight and progressively ascended to end up landing on the moon  -which was finally dismissed as it was considered a too foreseeable end.

"THE DEAD WISH GOOD NIGHT" (a paranormal tale)

Image
One day, during breakfast, Sir William Barret announced that he wanted to test his mediumistic gifts. Henry Sidgwick asked him what was he based on to suppose that he possessed such gifts. He replied that when he was ten years old, he once dreamed of his father and when he woke up he found his father in the family room sitting in his favorite chair reading “The Times”. Then, he suddenly lowered the newspaper and, pointing to his son with his finger, asked "Have you read the Bible?". This story had a strong emotional impact on the members of the SPR, until Barret clarified that at that time his father still lived and resided in the old house in Sussex with the rest of the family. Still, Barret was so insistent that Sidgwick ended up agreeing to the whim of his friend and organized a séance for that same evening. In the early afternoon, a wagon stopped in front of the entrance to the SPR headquarters and two large wooden boxes were moved to the living room where the séance was

WHAT IS A THRILLER MOVIE?

Metaphorically speaking, a thriller is nothing more than a maze (or a mess) through which a series of disreputable characters circulate trying to find something. In the most emblematic case (that of John Huston's "The Maltese Falcon"), everyone tries to find a falcon, nobody knows why. Not because they like the elegant flight of such birds (since this particular falcon is unable to fly due to a problem in its constitution: it’s made of gold) but for some other reason that escapes me. The detective (Humphrey Bogart) is brought into this damn mess by a ‘femme fatale’ (Mary Astor). Unfortunately, in addition to this fatal woman, there is also a wide assortment of fatal men, all of whom cause trouble for Humphrey Bogart. To begin with, they kill his partner, who was the mastermind of the detective agency, thus leaving the business brainless. At this very moment, the viewers are beginning to adjust to the idea that they will be home late for tea time. If the dead man had been

"THE TALENTED ALIEN" (a paranormal tale)

Image
I will tell you how the Society for Psychical Research first heard about what we call today flying saucers or Unidentified Flying Objects (UFO), but in 1890 (when this story is placed) they still did not have a name. (The testimonies referred to them as "that"). It turns out that in Burnley, County of Lancashire, lived a man capable of interpreting the song "If Ever I Cease to Love" with the laces of his shoes. For Sir Henry Sidgwick, this was an unprecedented paranormal phenomenon. As Sidgwick was the president of the Society nobody dared to contradict him, and that is how an expedition was organized to the county of Lancashire. (For the musician in question it was impossible to travel since he lacked other shoes than those he used to make music and they went out of tune if he walked with them.) Early in the morning, the four members chosen for the mission embarked on a stagecoach surrounded by the expressions of affection and gratitude from the rest of the SPR mem
