DETECTED on “Stranger Things 2”: “Barbelith” and more about “The Invisibles”

Barbelith01

Look, I’m not saying The Duffer Brothers are necessarily “The Invisibles” fans. The walls are.

In episode seven of the second season of their smash hit “Stranger Things”, Eleven encounters a gang of misfits that apparently read and were very affected by Grant Morrison’s epic masterpiece of a comic book, their lair is covered in references to “The Invisibles”. In the picture, in white above them, you can clearly see the “Barbelith” graffiti, an essential part of the story. And to the far right, reversed in a window, there’s the “King Mob” tag. Both are drawn exactly like those in the comic book.

What does this means to the “Stranger Things” story? Probably not much, it’s just an easter egg. A very sophisticated and cultured easter egg, only the cool people know about “The Invisibles”. Not to brag, but I’ve been writing about it in my blog in Spanish.

After the jump, the “King Mob” tag from the other side of that window, with another “Barbelith” above and a reference to Tom O’Bedlam Continue reading

Symbols in movies: “Don’t Bite the HAND that feeds you”

DETECTED in “American Honey” (2016): “Don’t Bite the HAND that feeds you“, with The Hand of Fatima (or Khamsa) as the main symbol, and inside it The All-Seeing Eye. Quoting this site:

The hamsa (Arabic: خمسة‎ khamsah, meaning lit. “five”) is a palm-shaped amulet popular throughout the Middle East and North Africa, and commonly used in jewelry and wall hangings. Depicting the open right hand, an image recognized and used as a sign of protection in many societies throughout history, the hamsa is believed to provide defense against the evil eye. The symbol predates Judaism, Christianity and Islam.

In jewish communities is known as The Hand of Miriam or Hamsa, which means “Five” as does Khamsa. It usually contents The All-Seeing Eye but rarely inside a pyramid. It’s worth noting that a hobby of the elites that control the planet and finance movies is the reversal, changing the meaning of ancient symbols to its diametrical opposite. Or so they say.

In the movie, the image only flashes for two or three seconds, a subliminal threat, an order: “Don’t Bite the HAND that feeds you“… Ehhhh, I mean, It’s obviously a random event or the work of a lone nut. You can’t trust those costume designers. Move along people, there’s nothing to see here.
