1/ MISSION IMPOSSIBLE: FALLOUT
An analysis (SPOILERS)
When I watch movies, I now analyze them for what the subconscious message is
MI:F (2018) was full of some of some CRAZY messaging
The whole movie revolves around this man
Soloman Lane, constantly transferred like this
2/ He used to look like this
But in MI:F he’s constantly being transferred as the most dangerous man in the world, & he has information on everyone that could bring down the world
So he went from this👇
3/ To this
Remind you of anyone?
Followed by anonymous terrorists bent on bringing down the One WorId Government
4/ He’s considered a cult leader followed by a bunch of anonymous, nameless, terrorists
So they’ve framed the man with the knowledge as a terrorist from trying to bring down the world government
Ethan Hunt & the heroic IMF (🤔) are there to save the world from these terrorists
5/ In the end, Lane is handed over to the British government
Because of what he knows about the Royal Family (never clarified, a throwaway line)
Hmm
6/ Then we come to The White Widow
a wealthy European socialite who - through blackmail - has spies & leverage on every government in the world
her role: remind you of anyone?
She’s made glamorous & like an antihero who helps save the day against Lane in the end
7/ Oh, & did I mention the opening lines?
They’re a doozy
“I am the storm”
8/ But that’s not the best part
At the beginning they convince one of the critical terrorists that the plot has gone off - 3 nukes. He’s delighted
The only problem is they tricked him with
Fake News. Courtesy of CNN & a Wolf BIitzer mask
Even Esquire caught on to that nugget
9/ So let’s recap
The anonymous cult terrorists with damaging information are bad guys
Because they threaten the world order
The White Widow is a necessary evil
They fool the terrorists with fake news
They are “the storm”
10/ & there’s 1 line they all repeat
it’s said at least a dozen times like a mantra even though it’s supposed to be true Bad Guy’s thing:
“The greater the suffering, the greater the peace”
Said over & over & over again
It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to see the programming
11/ It’s an entertaining movie for sure
There are too many layers to get into
But always, ALWAYS look for the implied messaging & subtones
They’re always there
