Salt

[luke wilson]

I was wondering if anyone has seen the movie SALT staring Angelina Jolie.

What do you guys think about this? Sleeper agents waiting to be set off at any time to go cause havoc?

It's getting round to that time when all those greenbaumed robot mind controlled people might start getting set off to go do whatever it is they were programmed to do! Who knows..

I saw it, it was funny. The movie is not excellent, but its a good action movie, Angelina looks terrific and the story line is easy to follow, and way to cheesy. The movie is so full of misinterpretation of real scenarios, that it is actually fun to watch. I liked the end, but... :)

I saw it a couple of months ago, I had to read the description on IMDB to even remember anything from the movie. I would have to say it wasn't that great, it was very predictable. I am not sure, but I don't think it is a movie that will light any bulbs with anyone, because I think the average person's awareness (reality bubble) already has accommodations for that sort of thing. I felt like at it's core the plot involved beating the dead horse of America vs. Russia, and that people are used to this, and have already made mental concessions against nasty Spy V Spy things like sleeper agents and assassinations - at least to the degree it won't light any new circuits in their brain. The timing of the movie along with the possible exposure of Russian spies in America was interesting.

If you want a predictable summer action flick, one that will carry you easily from the beginning to the end, Salt was a good movie IMO.

As an action movie it is correct or mediocre. Nonetheless the movie provides two concepts or ideas that catch my attention:

1.- Individuals trying to destroy USA.
At the end one understands how it is to be done.
By generating a War in which the country that starts it, will perish due to enemies retaliation.

2.- Looking at the president computer.
This lets the president targets to launch nuclear strike.
Interesting enough, the two targets selected are: Teheran, Mecca.
¿Why? one character explains it, the muslim world will react violently and finish USA.
This is shocking as the War is not between Russia and USA, as one would expect due to previous events in the movie.

The whole movie section is interesting. Nowadays I'm detecting a lot of concepts and details. Some of them are relevant due to similitudes with the present world reality we live in.
Other movies which now I remember as interesting are:
- The Fight Club (1999), I specifically remember the ending that everybody else forgets!!! which is the most important for me in this movie.
- The Siege (1998), muslim terrorists attacking USA plain citizens ... and the army taking the entire society to solve the issue. This concept of the USA being threatened by muslims is also present in "True Lies (1994)", even with nuclear weapons.

¿Fiction or reality? You choose, but there is always something 'real' in concepts that are constantly pushing towards people. At the end on the same black-box known as TV you see movies or news, fiction or reality. With enough intensity and hypnotic opener techniques one tends to confuse, which is which, the fiction event or the real one, or are the same.

Edit to add: the objective of this fiction is not convince or suggest, but to generate confusion in the brain. As I learned from marketing specialists, the goal is to neutralise the 'buyer' through confusion. On a marketplace this can be achieved with too many options, moving the products, a rainbow colour for all products. Even with sound. With such a jungle full of details the free will is threaten and the suggestions take place, so the buyer will take one of the products as predicted. Some techniques of marketing I think also apply to this movie section. Because the spectator is also confused, constantly receiving ideas or concepts, and at the end ... each one buys which reality is true or not through assimilation in oneself Belief System.

Just wanted to say I saw this last night, and I very much agree with Ignis. I love Angelina Jolie but this movie was pretty bad. VERY predictable, and it had a lot of propaganda stuff in it.

For example at the very beginning of the movie, it starts with Angelina's character being water-boarded by North Koreans, which is interesting because everyone knows it's the US that does water-boarding as a form of torture. Not saying that North Koreans don't, it was just interesting that they started out with that scene first and foremost.

I noticed that too-- and it gave me a bit of a smirk

**Spoiler**
I also found it interesting that she was dressed as a Muslim woman in the end when she killed her "father" (the man who programmed her when she was a child) and the close-up of her veiled face gave this ominous feeling that I didn't like. But that could have just been me.

Happened to see this, too, over the holiday.

Not much to say about it other than the premise was based on a breakaway Russian x KGB/GRU persona who sets up covert programming and western indoctrination school and then plants the children when ready into optimum sleeper type conditions whereby they have a chance to penetrate many different levels of western society.

This premise is not new, in fact the thread about Bourne started by mocachapeau, has Robert Ludlum describing this very thing in his older books, from both a Russian and Nazi variation. So in this respect, the author sort of just repackaged an old idea with lots of new VFX.
