Speed Racing into the New Age

Posted by org at 4:23 AM

Speed Racer is made by the Wachawski Brothers (Matrix, V for Vendetta, movies which have, let's be honest shaped our current thinking somewhat and certainly have loads of mind control themes in them). I don't want to do an in depth analysis, I'd rather let the images speak for themselves (I'll make comment on some of them though). Stephen Colbert called it "Speed Racer: a classic story of boy-meets-seizure inducing lights." and has the Asian superstar Rain in it, there are numerous age of aquarius references throughout the film and various other synchromystical themes. The corporate studio logo sequences at the start surprised me as they began with a kaleidoscope of sorts, the quality isn't the best in these images. The film is quite hypnotic and somewhat nausiating. It played in 3,606 theatres in it's opening weekend. It has Susan Sarandon in it too, who I spoke of in my Enchanted post. If you watch it, you'll notice lots of other themes that I've been talking about, esp purple, dissocation (at the start in the school, we have all dissociated in boring lessons at some point, I know I did a lot).

Opens with Seal of Solomon.

6 V's + hypnotic spiral ting

Gold and Blue of Freemasonry.

Note the eye (on the left, bad quality image) it says COLORS above the puffin.

Human pyramid (at the corporation's programming facility), between twin tower resonant climbing walls, the pyramid collapses.

Wtf? (this is at the entrance of the below room) Getting ready to sacrifice a goat?

Jack from Lost (Matthew Fox), as "Racer X"

Hypnotic mirror reflection of lights moving downward.

"Genie": "Ask for anything, her job is to make it come true." (note her red shoes below) with "Speed" with a subconsciously polarizing purple suit.

It suitably portrays corporations as the enemy, and gives the correct impression that the majority of (massively funded corporate) sport is fixed, Roger Allan (V for Vendetta) plays the corporate overlord "E.P. Arnold Royalton" really well in my opinion, at one point saying, "That's what racing is about, it has nothing to do with cars or drivers. All that matters is power and the unassailable might of money."
