Prophetic Movies & Music

[Xav]

I feel some old movies and music are very prophetic. Here are some examples:

Movies

2001 Space Odyssey - The computer taking over. And at the end of the movie, the unborn baby in space with the awesome theme music, Thus Spake Zarathrustra. The unborn baby is the subject of our current generation. When this movie came out, abortion wasn’t as big an issue.

Soylent Green - Poor Sol goes to get euthanasized at a euthanasia center. Will this happen soon in our world?

Music

Lyrics to The Sounds of Silence (Simon and Garfunkel) -

…hear my words that I might reach you, hear my words that I might teach you, but my words like silent raindrops fell…



…and the people bowed and prayed, to the neon god they made

Who in our world is listening to God’s call to repentance? Or are we just worshipping the Neon God.

Well there are some thigns that do appear in films music etc that we don’t notice at first but sometimes some minor things turn out uncannily true. It’s just coincidence really, thoguh I’m not talking about film speculating politics or the future and gadgets, just some random things like say… 9:11 showing up on the countdown in Independence Day or other minor things to amazing coincidences like the X-Files show spin off, ‘The Lone Gunmen’ first episode was about a remote controlled passenger aircraft crashing into the World Trade Center!

These two are currently crowding together on the slopes of the erupting Mount Doom. With their last two films they have succeeded in casting the ring of human pride into the flames. They have taken things further than even the great Stanley Kubrick. They have created a living, breathing art, one that judges us according to how we judge it. Their names: David Lynch and Lars von Trier.

Great thread.

The Lone Gunmen

The Siege

The Manchurian Candidate (remake) how close are they do realizing this new nightmare?

…

Sounds of Silence

Hotel California

I’d rank ‘1984’ and ‘Brave New World’ up there.

I’m currently reading 1984, and will soon be on the other one, though I do know the general idea of what they’re about…

Yeah, I actually thought of Independence Day as well. Also Die Hard and the Nakotomi Towers. It’s eerie.
