After an extensive editorial session, "Medium Dick", my recent article about the programming tool called Parallax, which explores the use of this tool in the propaganda films called "A Clockwork Orange" and "The Parallax View", is now posted at the cinema interpretation site called "metaphilm". Check it out at the link provided and leave a nasty comment for good measure.

Most interesting. I don't think Burgess particularly hinted at a corpus callosum cut in Clockwork Orange, and I have not seen the film recently enough to say much regarding - but a very interesting set of propositions nonetheless. I think you may be doing something a little odd with the plural of 'Dick' - but who am I to grudge another his apostrophe? Thanks for one of tonight's more enjoyable reads.
Hey Peter, I did that edit and found the error, thanks alot. I was inspired to do a complete edit and re-write in the process. Thanks.
To return the favor, I think you missed my point regardin the Gordian Brain of Alex the Great. Kubrick was obsessed with A the G, and included countless referneces to the divided brain.
Give the new edit a read. It is much better, I think, and thanks again for inspiration and critique.
I really think Kubrick's sun rising behind Jupiter is merely his Freudian homage to the perfect breast . . . RB
Kubrick's message is perfectly clear: Either you claw your way to the top of the pyramid (as Alex the Great is seen doing) and dethrone the Hierophant behind the projector, or you're just another fucking peasant eating popcorn in Plato's Cave. The Curse is that one must become the new projectionist.
The treatment of women in these films may have been timed with the emerging into the light of the feminist and gay movements, which allegedly are part of Marxist-Leninist demoralisation tactics.
ACO attached itself very well to the growing football violence in Britain.
Alex at the end merely goes back to the 'office' for a bit more programming. Perhaps he'd been in that chair before the film began.
The planets in the pic you posted seem like drops of water
cheers
Treatment of women: Stanley Kubrick endeavors to connect himself to Clare Quilty in Lolita. Lolita the person is Kether, the source of all light, and thus the still point around which all of Kubrick's other films revolve. (2001 and Clockwork Orange depict the Light descending from Kether to the material world.) Quilty's function as a Gnostic Demiurge (Stan is Satan--we are entirely in agreement here), is to trap the sparks of light, represented by the incomprehensible Lolita, within the darkness of matter.
Kubrick dethroned the King of the Wood and became the new maker of illusions. The King of the Wood is the priest of the Goddess Diana. Diana is Lolita, per Vladimir Nabokov.
The role of King of the Wood was held by a runaway slave who had defeated the old King. Quilty in Lolita: "I'm Spartacus. You come to free the slaves or something?" We can assume that Spartacus-Weishaupt is also Kubrick, having undergone the crucifixion and been reborn as the great deceiver.
"Kubrick's post Strangelove world is a post apocalyptic world of psychic warfare and that this world, so lovingly constructed by Stan, may actually be our real world."
Apocalypse 1962? Lolita is released in 1962, the year Marilyn Monroe dies. Ziegler/Kubrick in EWS is culpable in the death of the Mysterious Woman (the "ex-Beauty Queen") who first appears in the upper rooms (the Three Supernals) before dying in a drugs overdose.
Keep going!
Cool its back! As usual I'm more questions than answers or critique. Firstly, when I ask Q's about God it's not from a standpoint of belief but rather a lack of understanding I guess. We are prisoners here, the idea of the bible seems to be you can get sprung on good behavior if you walk the line correct? So in ur opinion is the bible then a kind of control mechanism to keep the wolves thinking they are sheep and under control. But why? If we are all cursed forever and trapped why not let us run a muck on one another unless ur a real sick fuck, lol? Why try to make us behave? Also like ppl (musicians, actors, politicians, etc) who have seemingly sold their souls or whatever to be on top now. Why do that and have these ppl influence ppl to "evil" if u want them under control. I mean the entire music industry is geared to infect young minds esp. I really dont know. Also, the devil shows up in the montage under the word LOVE Jesus said God is love and his father would be revealed rite? And we all know the vowels interchangable love/evol thing at this point in the conspiracy game. Maybe I ramble more later, peace. Loved the post, real brain food!
Doctor [and/or] Strangle Love?
PKDick referred to the film in the title to his 'Dr Bloodmoney or How We Got Along After the Bomb'.
Downloaded TPV and the montage is a fascinating piece of film. One feels pulled out of the 'film' , a quietness ensues. It seems its not a part of the film but programming in its own rite. I tend to watch films on a small screen to reduce 'involvement'.
