Was the Movie Madagascar (2005) Ten Years Ahead of its Time Synchromystically?

This movie was released in 2005.
That's 10 years before 2015.

Was the movie Madagascar (2005) ten years ahead of its time synchromystically?
Or should that be 10 years behind the time?
Ben Stiller voices Alex the lion, too.

I wrote a post about Ben Stiller earlier this year and his movie resonating with the year 2015 -

 Was "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty"

Released a Year too Soon?

Subliminal skull?

I had never seen the movie Madagascar before; in fact, I never had any interest in seeing it until somebody brought it up the other day in a Facebook conversation in regard to the plane debris of flight MH370 washing up on an island off the coast of Madagascar.

A missing plane in the movie Madagascar

A missing plane found where it shouldn't be? 

"The airplane that the Lemurs hold court in is a Lockheed Electra, the same airplane as Amelia Earhart disappeared in on July 2, 1937."

"Authorities have confirmed the piece of a plane wing that washed up on the shores of Réunion, a small island off the coast of Madagascar, came from the Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777 jet that disappeared in March 2014."

Also, I was reading this book which mentioned the movie as a recommendation, so I took this as my cosmic cue to hire the DVD of Madagascar and pay attention to anything that could relate to the year 2015.

A scene from Madagascar

I have to say that after watching Madagascar, what is it with Ben Stiller movies and the year 2015?

If you didn't know that Madagascar was released in 2005, you would think the scriptwriters just pulled news-stories from 2015 newspapers.

 Of course, the big story that resonates with this movie, apart from the MH370 parts washing up near Madagascar is Cecil the lion being shot by a dentist.

"Can I shoot the zebra?"??

There was also the blue, black/gold, white dress story hitting the headlines this year.

Blue and black, or white and gold:
what colour is the dress?

And I noticed this scene in the movie when I was watching it.

Marty the Zebra: "I'm ten years old. My life is half over and I don't even know if I'm black with white stripes or white with black stripes!"

November?
Back to the Future?

My Brisbane Lions coffee cup on my desk

On a personal synch level I happen to be a Brisbane Lions fan and have a coffee cup similar to the cup pictured in the movie.

"... you look like a monkey
and you smell like one too"?

The subject of Racism seems to be all over the headlines in 2015, as well, and in the movie the animals insult the monkeys by singing "Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, you look like a monkey, and you smell like one too."

Another famous Marty character in popular Hollywood movies is Marty McFly out of the Back to the Future trilogy.

BTTF celebrates its 30-year anniversary in 2015 and Micheal J Fox who plays Marty McFly is also famous for playing Alex in the TV show Family Ties.

Alex & Marty?

When this baby hits 88,

Tourists are killing lions

And what about all of those animals escaping from zoo stories in the news this year?

"Perth Zoo is now being forced to review security at its orangutan enclosure after one of the animals escaped and took a trip through the public gallery yesterday.

Staff eventually managed to usher five-year-old Teliti back into her sleeping quarters after the break out.
It was the second case of monkey madness for Australian zoos in recent weeks, with a Sumatran orangutan breaking out of its enclosure at Melbourne zoo earlier this month."

When Animals Escape Zoos

Lions, tigers, bears and hippos escape zoo damaged by deadly Georgian floods

"Animals including tigers, lions, jaguars, bears, wolves and hippos escaped from their zoo enclosures and roamed the Georgian capital Tbilisi after deadly flooding damaged their cages.

At least 12 people died in the floods, Tbilisi mayor David Narmania (Narnia ?) said, while interior minister Vakhtang Gomelauri told an emergency government meeting that at least 24 were missing. 
"Rescuers are among the dead," a spokesman at the State Security and Crisis Management Council said.
"At least 36 people have been hospitalised, including 16 with multiple fractures."
Police and soldiers were hunting down the animals, recapturing some and shooting others dead, while rescuers airlifted scores of people trapped by the floods."

I also noticed that the movie Madagascar is made by the same team that produced the movie Shark Tale and that 2015 has really been turning into the year of the shark, as far as news stories go.

Réunion, Once a Surfer’s Paradise, Finds Only Sharks in Its Waters
"The problem is sharks. 
The island has been besieged by them, and at least 18 people have been attacked and seven have been killed since 2011. 
The government responded in 2013 with a controversial ban on nearly all surfing and swimming, making Réunion perhaps the world’s only island destination to order residents and tourists to stay out of the water. 
The ocean cast up another way for Réunion to make headlines late last month, when a piece of a jet’s wing was found on a beach. 
It is thought to be part of a Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777 that vanished mysteriously in March 2014 with 239 people aboard. 
The discovery prompted members of the French military and local beachcombers to scour the island’s shores for other flotsam that might have come from the plane."

A map of Réunion. Le Tampon?-)

Shark scene from Movie 43

Seeing the town of Le Tampon on Réunion on that map above reminded me of a scene from Movie 43 where two women are swimming in the ocean, and one gets attacked by a shark.

What is it About 2015 and Sharks?

  in BTTF2 in the year 2015

Images of what appears to be a gigantic Tiger shark have surfaced, with NSW north coast locals claiming it was caught by a commercial fisherman off Nine Mile Beach on the Tweed Coast.

The waters that the monster shark was caught in are the waters Mick Fanning calls home.
Tweed Heads. 

The other football code I follow is Rugby League and being a Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks life member, I couldn't help but notice the colours Mick was wearing when he got attacked by the shark were blue, black and white:-)

Madagascar and 42?

When I was Google searching for MH370 washing up on an island off the coast of Madagascar my search only took 0.42 seconds to give me the answers. Hmm.

And let's not forget where the ship was supposed to be heading with the zoo animals in the movie Madagascar before the penguins hijacked the ship.

President Barack Obama Makes Birth Certificate Joke on Kenya Trip
"Some of my critics back home might be suggesting I'm here to look for my birth certificate," Obama said while making a toast at a state dinner hosted by President Uhuru Kenyatta. 
"That's not the case." 

The notice on the side of the case
about Kenya in the movie Madagascar.

Madagascar the movie seems to synchromystically allude to the news-stories that have hit the headlines this year and I think I have gone a long way here in this post to prove my case.
Case closed;-) 

Case/crate closed?-)

But I guess it's not all black & white
when it comes to a movie like this;-)

Synchromysticism:
the elephant in the room?-)

You'll just have to fill in the gaps yourself by watching the movie to see what I missed.

Sorry, I couldn't help ending the post with a lion/dentist joke.
