"LUXEMBOURG GARDENS"

Here in Paris, time goes by at a snail's pace. We have been stuck for months in the same year and the advances are so slow that we have to wait a whole day for the next day. In the Fin-de-Siècle Paris, life can become very boring if you are part of the privileged class that does not need to work to live, as is my case. Strolling along Boulevard Saint-Germain, I happened to meet Monsieur Ardenuy, who confirmed that we are still in 1897. How is that possible? In New York they must be already in 1900! The damn Dreyfus affair has delayed us a lot. It will take a lot of effort on the part of the government to catch up. It will be necessary to put the state machinery to work at full speed. And even the government itself would have to be put to work, no matter how much this upsets it. Here the only ones who work are the workers! Good heavens! If they heard me at Madame de Villeparisis' salon, they would accuse me of being a revolutionary. Even I myself would accuse me of being a revolutionary if I heard me at Madame de Villeparisis' salon! But nobody here hears me, not even myself. Here I can digress. That's why I like to stroll through Luxembourg Gardens so much.

"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?

Image
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

WHAT IS THE “HIDDEN PLOT” BEHIND ‘GONE WITH THE WIND'?

Image
With this movie, the Illuminati gave it their all. All their ideology is incorporated here. The idea that penguins are gentlemen and that they deserve to be admitted to high society clubs. The idea that “cleanliness is next to godliness” and “if it ain't broke, don't fix it". The idea that Georgia and its capital Atlanta (home to one of the Illuminati's top franchises: the Protective Order of the Damned Calligrapher) are located at the wrong latitude. The idea that love between a man and a woman is too complicated and that it would be preferable for romanticism to be limited to a man's relationship with his horse. All of these key ideas are surreptitiously in one way or another in the film. Likewise, Scarlett O'Hara is the symbol of the goddess Athena (Illuminati’s great goddess) and Louis B. Mayer suggested that, throughout the entire film, Scarlett be all of her covered in gold leaf like an ancient statue -a suggestion that was strongly rejected by David O. S
