Was it just for power and greed? Thanks
shareThe idea was that the people who would watch something like Videodrome were sickos/weirdos/perverts who "decent society" would be better off without, basically.
shareWhy do you watch shows like "Game of Thrones", "Bachelor" plus more mass media junk? Why do you watch news clips on "news" websites?
What this film's fans are doing is getting mixed up in the red herring of the film. That videodrome is only about violence. No, no, NO! It isn't. It is about the message in various mass entertainment.
Videodrome was sexual violence to the character Max because that was what excited him.
To other characters...videodrome was a church (Oblivion's attempt to combat the message).
In our reality Videodrome is Youtube, reality television shows, and scary movies.
But what touches on the film's violence message and our world today...is the access we have to violent real events.
Today...February 3, 2015...you can access video of a Jordanian man being burned alive by a terrorist group.
THAT is videodrome! What is the message? Who is the messenger? What do they want to accomplish by allowing people to watch something so horrific?
Don't be passive..QUESTION!
It's a mind control experiment. They are trying out a new signal that effects the human brain in ways they don't fully understand. They want to control the minds of the public.
Superior intelligence doesn't necessarily equate to superior intention.
