Gnostic & Dream Movies
Some movies, in. No particular order, which explore the concepts of dreaming conciousness, the supernatural, the UFO phenomenon, and / or a Gnostic worldview in a unique way:
Dark City (Gnostic-noir. Concepts of a manufactured world-in-a-bottle combined with some of the transhumanist ideas of mind / memory swapping for the purposes of elucidating the inner workings of the human soul to a group of otherworldly captors. Add in a little bit tech-indistinguishable-from-magic and the man-becoming-god ideas and set the whole thing in a downtrodden 1940’s crime drama and you have a hell of a heady brew)
The Truman Show (the world is not what it seems, the Gnostic worldview through the lens of peak media-driven late-stage capitalism morality)
The Matrix (the now-classic SF techno-noir wuxia action extravaganza filled to the brim with Gnostic concepts; an artificial world, Agents as Archons of control, and men-becoming-gods with intentions of waking the world up)
The Nines (mind-bending tale of alternative lives and constructed realities)
Dreamscape (great little movie about lucid dream-defense against weaponized nightmares)
Simon, King of the Witches (supernatural with very strange extradimensional / extraterrestrial elements in the form of orbs)
God Told Me To (very weird crime drama about mind-control / cult mentality that twists it’s way into some bizarre extraterrestrial territory)
Intruders (alien abduction phenomenon, hypnotic memory regression)
Communion (based upon the book of the same name by Whitley Strieber detailing his experiences with what could be called the ‘alien abduction’ phenomenon and a whole lot of associated high-strangeness)
