Whilst I agree that there are a lot of deliberate symbolism placed in a lot of movies, I still think too much credit is given to directors, actors and scriptwriters in Hollywood for what I see in a lot of cases is just synchromystism.
No man/women can lay out life and its story like the "Collective Unconscious"/Great Architect/God ... or whatever you want to term the great unknown source behind it all.

Still, it's interesting to see what certain movie makers are trying to convey on a subliminal symbolic level, if any.
It's all food for thought though.

Your posts invariably lead me to books I might not have otherwise read, to movies I might not have seen. I love the labyrinth you create, Daz. I don't always understand it, but I dive into it regardless.
ReplyDeleteI haven't read any of the books mentioned in this post Trish.
ReplyDeleteI only listened to to the podcasts Robert was in.
To get this post Trish you would have to do a few hours worth of listening and know a bit already about Masonic and occult symbolism.
And then you still might not get it.
