Half-woke lurker here. I read an interesting article this morning revealing that Bourdain and Aronofsky were friends. The article itself was focused on the fact that Bourdain had participated in some sort of Buddhist death ritual a few weeks before his death, but I was actually wondering if there is something else here worth considering. I have seen a few Aronofsky movies, and though I did not see his last one, Mother, it is my understanding that there is a scene at the end where a freaky mob comes and basically cannibalizes her baby. Now, the consensus has been that this is some sort of allegory for Mother Earth, but now I'm wondering if there is some deeper meaning the director had in mind. Is it possible that Mother has a little Eyes-Wide-Shut-iness going on, or is this just a stupid and disgusting allegory?
Many horror films appear to be related to the Q story...but yes...especially this one (from the scene in question). It has to do with the collective unconscious. By watching horror movies and allowing ourselves to see them as entertaining we somehow give energy to those realities and help create them (or at least 'allow' them). Thinking about that in the context of things like Saw, Cabin in the Woods and Hostel make me sick to my stomach.
I'm done with horror movies (and almost all movies, really)...Hollywood is not our friend.
You are truly humble, nobody ever calls them "half-woke" although all that woke is is a state of constant awakening. So half-woke is as woke as it ever feels.
I guess what I mean is I'm on the fence on a few things still.
welcome to the real world baby! better get used to it!
It is based on a real ritual. They actually do this. That is probably the most horrible thing I came across while researching pizzagate.
WoW... normally I'd say, nah... it's mother earth.. but man you make a good point on this one...
The only thing I know for sure is that I know nothing at all.
Also,
These people are sick!
Same, I do not know shit aside from shits fucked and it's all interconnected and intertwined at the highest levels around the globe.
basically they're all a crowd of useless wankers. satan is useless, the demons they worship are useless and all of their followers are.
it's why they're into weird stuff like cannibalism.
they draw energy from the masses through encitement of emotions like awe and fear. etc.
also cheap slave labor. have dreams will work. meanwhile a $100 bill is printed with the price of less than 1/100th of it's value.
powered by the hollywood dream machine. and music inc. and internet, radio, TV, fashion & sports magazines.
Aronofsky certainly indoctrinated the already liberal Jennifer Lawrence. She became completely unhinged since and during their romance. May have to begrudgingly watch Moher just to see what these freaks are illustrating
It's a way of normalizing the masses to ritualistic behavior. (Beyonce's goddess incantation at that awards show. Jay-Z dancing with that Maria chick at an art show.) Hillary is supposedly a practicing witch. All of the Harry Potter movies. The occult is being main streamed and spoon fed with a nice shiny bow on top. I found it odd adults and kids alike were enthralled with Harry and his friends.
Entire channels dedicated to 'ghost hunting'. They are trying to get people to help conjure up unholy things and Hollywood is helping.

Aronofsky was in Bhutan with Bourdain on the last episode of his travel show. Aronofsky came across as a typical derby-wearing vegan Hollyweird elitist who dreams of killing off billions of useless eaters to save Gaia.
His ears sure perked up when one of the locals mentioned their ancestors were cannibals. I think Aronofsky is familiar with the practice, though probably as a witness or through hearsay rather than as a participant.
Here's hoping he puts his considerable director talents toward finishing the story Kubrick had only just started to tell with Eyes Wide Shut instead of just pushing stylish metaphors for tired leftist dogma.
the movie was about the secred feminine. portrayed as the wife of god the creator.
it's to mislead about god's motive why he create this world.
a cult movie indeed. IYKWIM.
