6 Hidden Messages You Never Knew Existed

The title says it all. It's been a while since I made an interesting post for you guys to read, so here is my list on different subliminal messages that you probably didn't even know were there. Well....maybe you do know them. I don't even know. But in case you don't, here are 6
of the most wackiest and slightly disturbing hidden images compiled from famous films. I can guarantee the next time you see these films you'll be keeping an eye out for them. (Warning, some graphic images AND spoilers ahead. You have been warned internet.)

Number 1: The Uncomfortable Silence of Fight Club's Ending

So you just finished fight club, and what a roller-coaster story it has been. There was insomnia, and schizophrenia and fighting and explosions and- oh my god was that a naked man you just saw in a split second? Did....Did anyone else just see that? Guys? In the credits?!

I had to crop the full image because I love censorship.

Yes it is true, Fight Club's director David Fincher did actually include several subliminal images (as a social experiment), but the most prominent of all is the final scene where for a microsecond the image of a naked man with his junk hanging out blasts across the screen...then disappears. Needless to say that it left a rather awkward silence in the theatre/living room. Oh don't worry, it's not enough to cause any mind control or subliminal acts or anything....


Number 2: Show me the MONKEY.

No, this is not a reference to Tom Cruise's stellar role in Jerry McGuire. Instead, this was a hugely unnoticed message in Peter Jackson's King Kong (2005). In the movie, towards the beginning as the crew approach skull island, Captain Windhorn receives a morse code message asking for the arrest of Jack Dawson and Carl Dennim. Regardless, sneaky Peter Jackson thought it would be funny to uneducated audiences to make the morse code a different meaning. Upon analysation the morse code actually says, "Show me the monkey," an eerie pre-prediction of the demise of the crew. 

Well, we found him.

Number 3: Dead Hawaiian Inmates

Number 3 takes a part of the more scary side of hidden messaging in films. The movie we're focusing on is Sunshine; a sic-fi thriller turned horror where a group of astronauts are set to re-ignite our sun, but instead encounter another ship destined to do the same process. An empty ship with the warnings of a dead crew. Ignoring the gaping plot-holes, there is a scene where they enter dark space ship and flash their torches around like a parade of show ponies. The scene itself is very un-nerving, but what makes it even more terrifying is the flash of a single image as the light beam hits the camera. The image, if paused at the right time, is actually one of the inmates on the abandoned ship at a hawaiian party. Except now he's dead. Oh yeah, and why did the director do it? To make the audience uncomfortable apparently. Well done, snaps for Danny Boyle.

Eyes lead towards the soul right?

Number 4: A Sign of The Future...

Ok, I love Steven Spielberg as much as the next guy. But when I saw JAWS for the first time, and then did some research, then my respect expanded tenfold. In the final tense scenes of the thriller movie, where Brody fights the shark one on one in the early dawn, a beautiful quiet moment happens. Like the calm of the storm, the camera captures this facial shot of a shooting star barreling down from the sky, with a twinkling noise. There is much debate over this film as to whether it's real or fake or some kind of hidden message. The most commonly known explanation is that the shooting star was an added effect as a hint to Steven Spielberg's next box-office hit Close Encounters & E.T The shooting star symbolised the world of sic-fi that he would be entering into (if this is true, then does that mean somewhere in E.T there is a hidden symbol of dinosaurs to echo the making of Jurassic Park?!) Whatever the explanation, it's mystifying, beautiful and a foreboding symbol.



Number 5: Evila lilts s'ti

The last thing you need to know after a giant monster has been bombed the shit out of is "It's Still Alive." Well for fans of the cult-classic Cloverfield (2008) there was a short, 5 second message at the very very end after all the credits. A very simple, strange, diluted voice message with a man's voice saying "Evila Lilts s'ti." Reverse the recording and it simply says: It's Still Alive. We're not sure whether this confirms a sequel, but we're hoping that somehow this will become the standpoint for another monster vs city film. We can't get enough of those.

WHY. ARE. YOU. NOT. DEAD?!

Number 6: Disney Ruined My Childhood

This one is going to be a montage of several culprits. But we'll start with the straw that broke the camels back. Enter The Lion King (1994); it's cute, it's got a good message, it's got a hell of a lot of songs to sing along with (dat Scar montage though). But when movie analysers came up with this image, it began the revelation of movie subliminal searchers and 'tin-foil hat' enthusiasts. 

Ok...well that could mean anything...

And then came the 'other' images, which we'll post below. I don't think we need an explanation for each of these. Just enjoy the show and try not to let Disney atomic bomb your childhood...


Ummm....I...don't see it.

Oh come on!

WHAT.

OH JESUS I HOPE THAT'S EDITED.


Words to Keep in Your Pocket

Ask any writer what their favorite word is, and I can guarantee you they will construct some quizzical word that has 7 syllables and is not in the standard English dictionary. The  reason for this is purely because large words can titillate the tongue of an author; the words roll off the lips and they sound incredibly fancy. But my god is it annoying when they rattle off a cacophony of preposterous and ostentatious letters just to sound 'mature' (yes that was purposely put together. Calm down.)

So if you want to be like these writers who seem to find some kind of revelation in defining a huge vocabulary, then I have just the list for you. Presenting, a list of words to keep in your pocket to-use-at-innapropriate-yet-classy-as-hell-times:


#1. Quiescent - a quiet, soft-spoken soul.
#2. Chimerical - merely imaginary; fanciful. 
#3. Susurrus - a whispering or rustling sound. 
#4. Raconteur - one who excels in story-telling. 
#5. Clinquant - glittering; tinsel-like. 
#6. Aubade - a song greeting the dawn. 
#7. Ephemeral - lasting a very short time. 

A New Beginning

Can I tell you a story?

My name is Stephanie. I'm a writer, a talker, a dreamer. A clichéd girl hoping that this blog will sufficiently spread the awareness of a guy who means the world to me, yet meant nothing to the world.

This is not a love story. This is not a tragedy. Society has no genre, only the effects of living and dying. And so these stories i'm willing to share will have no genre; they will simply be memories imprinted onto the false eternity that is called the internet.

So what is this blog about? This blog is a side effect of someones death. John Green, a favourite author of mine, once wrote that "everything is a side effect of dying." This is both a true statement as well as false, for the view will be altered by a person's understanding of human nature.

This blog is a side effect of my happy times with an amazing group of friends, and maybe, it will become a side effect of giving hope to anyone in my situation. 

Ok, so I told a truth and a lie in this. First, I lied about being a writer. I'm in no way a professional, like my inspiration John Green. I think I wrote about 5 pages of a book a year ago and gave up. But I am clichéd in many ways, so that's something. So, if you don't like cliché things, writing, polaroids, ironic twists, stories, hope and love, sentimental posts, 80's music, irony, or an awkward 18 year old, then this isn't the blog for you. Move on. Click the 'back' link. I won't judge you.

However if you stay or read or follow, then I'm in debt to you, purely because you are helping me make the ghost of a boy become something that will never be forgotten. Which, ironically, is something he didn't want.

But I'm a stubborn girl, and if I believe that someone deserves more recognition, then darn it I will try to make people aware.
