5.0 out of 5 starsShows in-depth understanding of controversial topics
By Jeff D on January 16, 2017
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
This book does an excellent job of presenting a clear case for film as ritual, and following the argument through to its logical ends by discussing examples in fascinating detail. The analysis draws on an in-depth understanding of the deep state, religion, philosophy, intelligence operations, and propaganda. As someone who studied film as an undergraduate, no classes at the university I attended connected film studies to these topics.

I have followed Jay's podcasts and articles for some time, but this book weaves together all the individual film analyses in a very specific order so as to be an initiatory experience for the reader. After reading this book, I have had to thoroughly re-examine my understanding of film as it relates to human history.

The one criticism I'll give is that it seems like Jay goes back and forth on whether he wants the book to be accessible to people who are new to these subjects, or to speak strictly to people who already have an understanding of the deep state, intelligence agencies, occult ritual, etc. But maybe that's a good thing after all. I think any reader will find that this book will certainly send them down many rabbit holes of investigation.

5.0 out of 5 starsThere's film analysis and then there's Jay's Analysis...
By Michelle Meeks on January 2, 2017
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
If you are considering purchasing this book, just do it! As a regular listener/reader of Jay's website, I had to wonder "Is this the same info he has in his web articles and movie essays?" The answer is: There is so much more! Rarely have I encountered such a thoughtfully written work.If you love movies, this book is for you. Personally, I've learned so much about philosophy, movie mythology, and the history of the occult from everything Jay Dyer has written. This knowledge has broadened my view of story-telling, and has given me a richer and deeper appreciation for some of my favorite movies. I find myself applying what I've learned to other movies and TV shows on my own (for example, I was re-watching certain episodes of old The Twilight Zone and I'm seeing them in a new way) taking my understanding to a new level entirely. This book is a treasure. There's film analysis and then there's Jay's Analysis...

5.0 out of 5 starsFabulous exposition of film, philosophy and the Occult. Will be a classic!!
By David H Robbins on January 2, 2017
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
Be prepared to learn from Jay Dyer as he details the elements of the Esoteric that are continually used throughout Hollywood's biggest block busters. This goes beyond pointing out use of Illuminati symbolism. Dyer dives in depth with each film review, and ties the scripts, director interviews and production notes to practices used in the Occult, to events in history related to conspiracies, and to movements in literature and philosophy associated with Fabian socialist and Marxist esoterica.

But in many ways this book goes beyond film and the occult, as Dyer's background in philosophy plays a large part in his exposition. Solid reasoning is displayed when he discusses Darwin and materialism. Relating these topics to how film and media influence our culture is completed in a highly effective manner. Not only do you learn about film, you will become familiar with philosophical concepts such as a the mind-body problem, Kant's critique of reason, and how these topics have given rise to trans-humanism. And hold on to your hats, because Dyer provides ample references in popular movies to these concepts.

This book has been a great read, and its depth has mined thought provoking subjects that my mind is churning over as I write this review. Simply said: buy it, enjoy it, learn!

By Bruce J. Kolinski on January 5, 2017
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
More great work from Mr. Dyers. I love this book. Thank you so much Jay for writing it. Provides brilliant insight to the real machinations of Hollywood and the people who control it. The subtitle should be "hidden in plain sight all the time"... or at least most of the time.

5.0 out of 5 starstouching on pretty much every major component from metaphysics to drug trafficking
By FBH on December 31, 2016
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
Each essay is its own nutritious standalone entity, yet the power of this book is that Dyer manages to walk you through the many facets of the global con game, touching on pretty much every major component from metaphysics to drug trafficking, and ties it all together so the reader walks away with a firm grasp of the whole, as well as a detailed picture of particulars.

5.0 out of 5 starsJay's work is valuable and necessary, and the book is a great read for both beginners and adepts in this particular realm.
By Jennifer D. Sodini on January 9, 2017
Format: Paperback
Jay Dyer is able to unveil the hidden symbolism of the occult realities that permeate pop culture in an affecting, brilliant, yet easily digestible way. The book sheds light on what was once covered in darkness, and allows the readers to find a new perspective on media in a multitude of ways. Jay's work is valuable and necessary, and the book is a great read for both beginners and adepts in this particular realm. Highly recommend!

5.0 out of 5 starsThe messages of Hollywood analyzed from the perspective of Philosophy, Metaphysics, Geopolitics, and Theology
By Amazon Customer on January 10, 2017
Format: Paperback
Jay Dyer is a unique character in the world of so-called "conspiracy". He has a serious grounding in traditional philosophy and metaphysics, as well as Orthodox Christian theology, which allows him to place the messages of Hollywood films in a context of Truth with a capital "T". By this I mean that he is not naive or extreme, rather he is firmly grounded in an intellectual tradition that has by-and-large been lost on the modern western world. Jay is therefore able to give a truly unique perspective on the propaganda spewed out of Tinseltown; able to string together the various themes, facts, NWO conspiracies along with aspects of history and geopolitics which give the devoted reader a picture of the reality which certain influential factions are well on their way to creating in the near future.

I must also add that Jay revived my interest in and love for philosophy - his material, presented in this book as well as on his site, when studied diligently, will give an education in philosophy far, far better than anything offered at the average university. Jay taught me to analyze the modern world and see its trajectory, and I have truly begun to "watch film with a new set of eyes".
