Just finished watching this movie again and there is a whole hell of a lot I forgot about this movie and a whole hell of a lot I learned.
Here are the answers to two of the questions asked to get this started. The twirling wind vane with the butterflies represents the
MONARCH PROJECT Note also that there are butterflies named Monarch of which the program/project was named after
. Once again the butterfly indicates what is really at work in this scene of the movie.
The butterfly is the Monarch Project's "mascot/identifier". The fact that there are two butterflies on one side: one yellow and one white means they are dealing with the two levels of consciousness. White being the conscious mind that a person has control over and yellow the subconscious mind which is the greater mind that a person does not have control over. On the other side is one big yellow butterfly. As the vane twirls it informs the viewer that Monarch Project's goal is, just like a hypnotist using a twirling watch on a string to subdue a person's conscious mind, to allow access to their subconscious mind where they can manipulate it and transform the person into someone who they are not. Once transformed (remember this word) the new person/subconscious mind is represented by the bigger yellow butterfly.
NOW JUST TO KICK THIS OFF...
First off Silence Of The Lambs is NOT a movie about a random serial killer, but rather Hannibal is a mind control experiment created and used by the government to be the prototype of how to make an IDEAL soldier/assassin/mercinary who will not only kill without any emotional attachment, but will also be highly intelligent in manipulating his "enemy" in a subversive and intellectual manner.
At the beginning of the film Clarrise is seen running around FBI headquarters in Langley Virginia. Notice on a tree she passes it says PAIN, HURT, AGONY...LOVE IT. Essentially this part is telling you the FBIs method of operation particularly of getting information out of people (renditioning, kidnapping, torture etc) involves a sadomasochistic mindset and they love this methodology. Underneath the PAIN, AGONY, HURT signs is another washed out sign that says PRIDE. Being washed out means there may have been a time when the FBI operated honestly and had dignity now it is debased and therefore this washed out sign represents that change .
As the movie moves on you then see Clarrise on her way to meet Crawford and she encounters a female on a staircase and they exchange a particular handshake similar to but not quite a high five (remember that). Clarrise is then seen running past a room full of people wearing Blue Shirts...these people represent ex-army members who are devoted to to defend conservative interests and to halt what they perceived as an emerging threat coming from their political opponents (read about it
HERE .You then get to the scene where Clarrise enters an elevator with a bunch of men all wearing RED SHIRTS. RED SHIRT was the name of a paramilitary group in the US that operated as the strong arm for the democrats by disrupting political rallies(provocateurs), by assassinating leaders and suppressing voting at the polls of republicans (read about it
Here. Notice that the blue shirts are all handling guns and military firearms...the RED SHIRTS had no weapons.
Clarrise then exists the elevator and the camera pans to a sign on the wall that says BEHAVIORAL SCIENCES SERVICES... informing the viewer that this is a place where people are mentally trained/indoctrinated/programmed/researched.... can you say MKULTRA, MONARCH, MONTAUK, DARPA, PHOENIX PROJECT etc etc. Also notice as she walks down the hall a man and a woman standing in front of a copy machine make a unusual hand sign that is the same as the one Clarrise made with the other woman on the stairs...again similar to a high five except their hands are clenched like fists...an Illuminati/secret society reference for sure.
As Clarisse turns corners she meets a Black man who asks if she is looking for Crawford? On the blackboard in his office is a message saying BLUE EYED BOY NOW. There is/was a real person named Jane Elliot who ran a program called BLUE EYED and its purpose was to train people on how to psychologically destroy individual people, races, religions and whole nations by capitalizing on minute issues like hair color, eye color, religious differences, cultural differences, regions, anything personal that can show even the slightest differences are used to set nations/people at war with themselves. Clarrise receives a warning from Crawford about NOT letting Hannibal get into her mind by revealing anything personal about herself to him.... essentially warning Clarrise that Hannibal can destroy her with mental games as the Blue Eyed program does.
Clarrise then makes her way to Crawford's office where she sees practically an entire wall covered with pictures of the victims of Hannibal's handiwork (killed skinned victims). This in not something displayed for the sake of investigators to see, but rather displayed so the FBI top brass can see how their "experiment": Hannibal, is performing in regards to being that trained heartless/emotionless/intelligent assassin. Crawford begins telling Clarisse of how he remembered her from his lectures at the University of Virginia (a obvious play on Virginia Tech where MKULTRA operates out of) in his class about Herbert Hoover. Hoover was the US president who created the FBI which whole intent was to spy on american citizens and groups the US government deemed SUBVERSIVE: Civil Rights groups and leaders, feminist groups, jewish groups, racial groups, church/religious groups etc etc and break then up through subversive moves, "plants", provocateurs and false flag scenarios and blame.
Crawford then goes on to question Clarrise about dealing with the "serial killers" they have in "custody" or should he have said 'assassins in training'. It is at this time he speaks of Hannibal and mentions he is a psychiatrist. Essentially he is saying he now needs someone to TEST this prototype to see if Hannibal performs on the intellectual level as well as they would like, now that he has been "trained".
Clarrise goes on to meet Dr Chilton who informs Clarrise that Hannibal is too smart for all the other investigators (remember Clarrise graduated Magna) and as he informs her of this, the two of them make their way down windowless corridors: (secret project), and finally to a gated room bathed in red light (red light meaning Clarrise is about to discover something ALARMING/DANGEROUS). Clarrise and Chilton remain in this glow of this red light for a while as Dr Chilton explains the capabilities of Hannibal and how he destroyed a nurse short of killing her. Clarrise then after meeting the head guard enters into and through a long windowless corridor: secret government program/no outside knowledge of, in what looks like a dungeon to reach Hannibal. As she passes each inmate or "trainee" each says or does something about/to her: One says "Hi" another says nothing but "Observes" her, another says "I can smell your 1cunt1" informing the viewer that each has been trained intensely in a specific area or field. Hannibal training is diverse and involves all the trainings of the others but he is intellectual where the others are not. Also notice how Hannibal "cell" is? It is not a jail cell with bars as the others are, he is behind a viewing window, showing once again he is a "experiment" being created and monitored like a lab rat and not a prisoner. Also note his stance...very butler-esque showing him to be refined and cultivated/cultured. Again Hannibal is to be seen as a highly intelligent assassin/mercinary/killer.
I will continue this tomorrow...this should be interesting and good by the time it is all over... STAY TUNED
