Directed, written, and featuring Joe Schimmel, as well as David Jeremiah, this explains the idea that all Hollywood films are based on Gnosticism, a syncretic religious movement centered on dualism. They believed in two forms of God: one a transcendent, true God, and the other a lower Demiurge responsible for the material world. In this framework, salvation is redefined as the intellectual and spiritual recovery of the divine spark within the individual.

This breaks down The Matrix, The Truman Show, Donnie Darko, Pleasantville, V for Vendetta, Vanilla Sky and more. I mean, The Matrix has a ship called the Gnosis, Neo becoming the one after his mind is opened to forbidden knowledge, cities and people named after Biblical figures, and so much more. 

Also: The Architect in The Matrix or Christof in The Truman Show are totally the Demiurge. The Pleasantville allusions in this are pretty spot on as well.

This wants you to understand Luciferian inversion, which is when Satan becomes the good guy and the religious world is the villain. That’s because they’re often cast as the enforcers of the Demiurge’s rules. It’s a bit of a self-fulfilling prophecy. When the faithful act like the moral police, they fit the Gnostic villain archetype perfectly.

A good way to stop doing that would be for most Christians to stop being assholes, but I digress. 

Will this mention Crowley and Helena Blavatsky? You know it. 

People can believe whatever they want, but wow, this is quite the movie. They should add commentary tracks to films so I can hear their views while I’m watching the actual film.
