Movies with a hidden meaning.

in #cinema10 years ago (edited)

I decided to gather a collection films in which there is a hidden meaning, cues and subtext.
So. In my opinion, these films reflect any problems of modern existence \ nonexistence, or problems that may arise in the future. They force people to think and compare the plot with the real life.

I will start with all the famous - Matrix:

The Matrix

★ 8,7/10

A computer hacker learns from mysterious rebels about the true nature of his reality and his role in the war against its controllers."

What if everything that surrounds us - no more than an illusion, the Matrix and the people - only power source for the artificial intelligence to enslave humanity.

On the meaning and ideology of this film writing books. In my opinion, the meaning of film to bring people information about egregors. Wake people from sleep, to make become aware and self-reliant.

Also exist similar to the Matrix movie with the same meaning and allusion to the illusory nature of the world:

The Thirteenth Floor

★ 7,0/10

" Computer scientist Hannon Fuller has discovered something extremely important. He's about to tell the discovery to his colleague, Douglas Hall, but knowing someone is after him, the old man leaves a letter in the computer generated parallel world his company has created (which looks like the 30's with seemingly real people with real emotions). Fuller is murdered in our real world the same night, and his colleague is suspected. Douglas discovers a bloody shirt in his bathroom and he cannot recall what he was doing the night Fuller was murdered. He logs into the system in order to find the letter, but has to confront the unexpected. The truth is harsher than he could ever imagine..."

What if our world is not real and the illusion created by someone else? As argued by Buddhists, Hindus, quantum physics.

The Signal

★ 6,1/10

"On a road trip, Nic and two friends are drawn to an isolated area by a computer genius. When everything suddenly goes dark, Nic regains consciousness - only to find himself in a waking nightmare."

"What are you going to feel when you understand that all you are surrounded - an illusion?"

Cargo

★ 6,2/10

Laura signs the contract and arranged into a corporation "Koiper" to work on an old cargo ship "Cassandra", which will run through to the N42 station and back for 8 years. Flight fully automatic, during which crew members spend most of in a deep sleep, while one is on duty 8.5 months. Because of the terrorist threat on the ship there is an additional Samuel Decker in charge of security. By the end of his shift, Laura Portman hears a strange noise from the cargo compartment. It raises the crew to explore the cold cargo holds of the ship. After the first death, all begin to trust each other. Laura and Samuel reveal the true content of the cargo and the appointment of ship ..."

"People do not seek the truth, they prefer sweet lies and remain in illusions, in the virtual world than the real life And anyone who had gone against the majority opinion -. A criminal, even if he is motivated by a thirst to save humanity from the lie of global government"

Movies hinting at multiple layers of the world, how we see the world, this is just one of the layers \ worlds.

Les deux mondes

★ 5,6/10

"A French tradesman travels in time and liberates an oppressed tribe in another world."

In this world you can be, and is not particularly lucky, but in another you are the creator and protagonist, thee honor and respect. What kind of world do you choose?

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0808230/

Flatliners

★ 6,5/10

"Four Medical students experiment on "near death" experiences that involve past tragedies until the dark consequences begin to jeopardize their lives."

Do you really think that your physical body that you? Did you tried to get out of your own body?

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0099582/

Inception

★ 8,8/10

"A thief, who steals corporate secrets through use of dream-sharing technology, is given the inverse task of planting an idea into the mind of a CEO."

Movies - warnings:

The Day the Earth Stood Still

★ 5,5/10

"About an alien who arrived on the planet with a warning: if they are not stopped war and destruction, the Earth will be destroyed from the outside as a threat to the rest of the universe!"

To continue to live and grow, humanity is simply no choice but to change their parasitic way of life and the only way to force humanity to do so -. To bring it to a critical level, to step from death.

1984

★ 7,2/10

"In a totalitarian future society, a man whose daily work is rewriting history tries to rebel by falling in love."

Orwell's novel, was written in my mind as a warning of what can happen if a dictator is in power, and people live like obedient animals themselves by creating and absorbing the false propaganda. It is sad to know that I live it in a country where there are all these events of the book \ film.

Change the past - get changed and the future
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0318081/

Some movies you allude to the fact that life is not one. Each of our solution creates its own alternative. Besides, life does not end just like that. Death - just a transit passage to another life.

Mr. Nobody

★ 7,9/10

"A boy stands on a station platform as a train is about to leave. Should he go with his mother or stay with his father? Infinite possibilities arise from this decision. As long as he doesn't choose, anything is possible."
