100% unfounded drivel by conspiracy nuts who have way too much time on their hands. I sometimes watch their videos out of morbid curiosity or ironic entertainment, but there's absolutely no credibility to any of it. In fact, speaking as a Disney fanatic, that video you linked is filled with easily-discredited inaccuracies, urban legends and flat-out lies that I'm really not sure whether it's genuine or just a brilliant parody.

Out of curiosity, what do you think of this video? It really makes me question whether it does exist.

None of this stuff has any credibility. If you're interested in these theories, read an actual book or sources with journalistic substance, not the rants of poorly-edited YouTube videos. Literally *anyone* can upload a video to YouTube claiming anything; I would bet good money that you could find similar videos of people earnestly claiming that the government is made up of space aliens.

Conspiracy theories are a fascinating subject, for certain, but none of them hold up to any reality-based scrutiny. They're nothing to seriously concern yourself with. You're better off just watching 'The X-Files'.

I agree that many conspiracy theories are very flawed (e.g. shape-shifters, vampire blood-lines...) however I find way too many coincidences in movies which make me feel uneasy. I don't admit to being certain so feel free to critique what I have typed.

Eye symbolism seems to be used in a lot of photoshoots and movies, I can understand however this could just be a styleistic choice though it is very prevalent. http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-yM69WIaGF...ng+eye+-+all+seeing+eye+gesture+lady+gaga.JPG

Movies constantly based on the apocalypse and trying to stop it from happening.

Actors and singers using similar terms of how they are possessed to do what they though I could see it could be just a figure of speech, it is a very prevalent of one. do did=1e8b9eee7281a8f5901058db35457c2ea2c8385b;id=9403512869;key=-K0U-ub009gmRuu_NajBYw;name=mediaexposed
There are also tons of videos hinting at the dark stuff that goes on in hollywood.

I'm still trying to find more information on both sides (for and against it) so I'd be happy to heard your rebutlles and I look forward to your reply.

Because it's inherently ridiculous. Mind control? Possession? Sure, there's subliminal advertising (which is typically prohibited) and there's the Holy Spirit, but this is an exaggerated extreme with no credible basis in reality.

You can take any two or more things and find a connection between them if you're specifically looking for one. Are you familiar with "Dark Side of the Rainbow"? It's the practice of simultaneously playing 'The Wizard of Oz' and Pink Floyd's 'Dark Side of the Moon' together because there are moments where the movie syncs up with the music and lyrics. While that is true, there are far more instances where there's no sync whatsoever. It's just coincidence...likely made up by people who've done way too many drugs. Likewise, I once saw a feature-length "documentary" uploaded to YouTube where some guy analyzed supposed symbolism in every scene of Stanley Kubrick's 'The Shining' to claim that the movie was Kubrick's confession to helping fake the Apollo moon landing. It has almost 2 million views, but that doesn't lend it any validity; it's been criticized and contradicted by pretty much everyone, including people who worked on the actual film.

The eyes, along with the face as a whole, are a focal point of the human body. We show faces on everything, and typically the eyes, mouth, hair, etc. are emphasized for stylistic purposes. We see eyes because we see faces, and we see faces because nobody wants to see toes or bellybuttons or armpits on their cereal boxes or movie posters.

Movies about the apocalypse are just as prevalent as films about natural disasters or alien invasions or giant robots or outer space battles because big-budget special effects spectacles make a lot of money. Take a look at the highest-grossing films of all time and you'll notice that many of them are packed with special effects. And of course apocalyptic movies are going to be about trying to "stop it from happening"...who wants to go see a movie where literally everyone dies at the end?

That selection of quotes is nonsensical; few of them have any actual relevance to one another, the use of words like "spirit" are in wildly different contexts and many of the people quoted aren't even involved in Hollywood filmmaking or the American music industry. Some of those quotes merely refer to the practice of method acting, where an actor attempts to psychologically connect with their character for a more authentic performance. Some of those quotes are just musicians explaining the sensation of their love of performing or the weird disconnect of performing before thousands of people (something I've actually experienced, and yes, it's bizarre). Nobody is outright saying "I get possessed by demons when I do my craft".

Pedophilia is an issue in Hollywood, sure, but so is racism and sexism. That's a reflection of the ills of our society as a whole rather than an indication of a secret Illuminati cabal. The "dark stuff" in Hollywood is no different than what happens in any other facet of our civilization, as far as wealthy perverts are concerned.

It's clear that I won't change your mind by myself, and that's fine because that's not what I'm trying to do. I think all this stuff is ridiculous, sure, but it's your own freedom to pursue interest in what you want. The only thing I can suggest - nay, stress - is to examine all sides of the issues from all viewpoints rather than taking any one person's biased word for it and coming to your own educated conclusion. The internet heavily blurs the lines between fact and fiction and evidence and opinion, so be careful about anything you read or hear.
