John Creasy, Man On Fire: Top-notch mind control

[Guest guest]

John Creasy, Man On Fire: Top-notch mind control - by Erik Fortman ©, Mar. 11th, 2005 Man on Fire was synonymously the best and most vile movie ever. Everything about the movie is 100% top-notch. The main character is John Creasy, played by Denzel Washington. Creasy, the character, ranks with or above almost every action hero in motion picture history; Washington, the actor, is well nigh flawless. The cinematography mixes the most tried-and-true traditional and modern camera work in a breathtaking style. In the process, it also invents a few new tricks. The dialogue was perfect. The casting was perfect. Everything was perfect. Add to that the fact that almost everything in the film actually happened, though not all at the same time, and the movie really hits home. Unfortunately, Man On Fire was intentionally designed to program millions of people. In a certain percentage of the population this movie will cause depression, paranoia, posttraumatic stress, and a myriad other negative emotions. Someone or some people behind the making of this movie knew that by utilizing advanced technology, they could destroy a certain number of persons’ minds for the short and/or long term. It is sheer insidious genius. The Movie Man On Fire begins with our hero, ex-intelligence officer John Creasy, Denzel Washington, being a washed-up has-been intent on drinking himself to death. When this proves too time-consuming, he opts to shoot himself in the head. For some reason the bullet doesn’t fire. It is a lucky bullet. Shortly after, his retired intelligence friend, Rayburn played by Christopher Walken, gets him a job as a bodyguard in Mexico for a little girl name Pita, played by Dakota Fanning. She is the daughter of a Mexican father and his Anglo wife. Tragically, despite Creasy’s best efforts, Pita is kidnapped. In the process, John Creasy kills two agents who appear to have been corrupt in some way. John Creasy has bonded with the young Pita, and he is devastated and racked with guilt after her kidnapping. The Mom is extremely angry, scared, and depressed. They try negotiating, but the kidnappers kill the little girl AND take the money. John Creasy, finding a new mission in life, investigates. The ex-intel op, Creasy, meets a journalist who decides to help him in exchange for information. First he finds out that the kidnappers were in fact a criminal gang involved in all kinds of despicable enterprises. Creasy locates a gang lieutenant, duct-tapes his hands to a car steering wheel, and proceeds to cut off fingers, one at a time, using the heated car lighter to cauterize the wounds. After two fingers, he slices off an ear. When he gets more information on the kidnapping, he kills the gang member. John Creasy discovers that many people are involved. One is the negotiating task force chief. Further, the crooked chief has been known to steal money for hostages before, but is protected by American and Mexican officials, and lives in a compound. Creasy blows up a car, then gets to the chief and kills him, while “coercing” him into relaying more info. He also tortures the generals inside the criminal gang and finds out the remaining leaders of the gang are two evil brothers. Creasy also figures out that Pita’s Dad, portrayed by Marc Anthony, was involved. The Mother, Radha Mitchell’s role, freaks out, and tells Creasy to kill her husband, or she will. Creasy takes out that lucky bullet that didn’t fire when he tried to commit suicide, puts it into his gun, and hands the gun to the Dad, Anthony. Dad didn’t think the girl would die. He is guilty of using his daughter for monetary gain. A lower act can hardly be imagined. Creasy tells Dad that the bullet might still be lucky, and that Fate or God might step in again. They don’t, and Dad blows his own brains out, in divine justice. Finally, Creasy finds one of the two brothers, Aurelio Sanchez. He corners Aurelio and his pregnant wife. Creasy is being watched and tracked at this point by sympathetic agents from both Mexico and America. Creasy beats Aurelio some, and then points a gun to his head. When Creasy forcefully questions the wife, she doesn’t even hesitate to spill the beans. Yes, it is her husband, Aurelio, and his brother Daniel Sanchez who have kidnapped the girl. Creasy has her call the mysterious Daniel, the most evil character in the movie. Daniel admits that this is the worst thing that can happen: his family kidnapped and being threatened with their permanent loss. Creasy blasts off Aurelio’s hand while the agents and Daniel are both listening. Aurelio screams and screams. Daniel realizes he has been put into the same place John Creasy was put into when Pita was taken - a true role-reversal. Creasy shooting off Aurelio’s hand, the calm way he has heretofore carried out psychological abuse, physical torture, and murder, and his current uncompromising tone of voice; all tell Daniel Sanchez that there is no doubt as to whether he is about to have to bargain his own life to save his family. But wait… Daniel Sanchez says he will trade. Trade what? It is a life for a life. Creasy tells him he will settle for nothing less than Daniel’s assassination and probable torture. Daniel startlingly reveals that the little girl is still alive! Creasy can’t believe it, but without missing a beat, he agrees to give back Aurelio and Aurelio’s pregnant wife in exchange for Pita. Creasy sets up a meeting place, heads over, and calls the Mother, a great performance by Mitchell. He tells Mom that Pita may still be alive, and heads out. In the end, the little girl gets saved, Aurelio dies, but Daniel and Aurelio’s wife live. The last shot sees our hero, John Creasy, slowly dying from bullet wounds. Again, I will say that in all senses, this movie was possibly the best ever made in a few different genres: action flicks, “spy” movies, dual-language films (floating rapidly back and forth from English to Spanish). Creasy’s is perfect justice, and he is never flawed in choosing who should be tortured, how much, and who should die. Yet, still, Man On Fire was designed to make some people go insane. I explained why it was so great. There are many, many levels such as the soundtrack, the cinematography, the script, the acting – almost every facet. Now hear me out as I tell you why this movie was designed to be horrifyingly detrimental to the global society. Stress and the Brain First, in the beginning of the film, Creasy’s attempted suicide brings out some sort of primal fear of death. For those who don’t believe that fear messes with actual centers in the brain, that it doesn’t change brain chemistry, that it doesn’t have lasting effects, you are refuting science. Science Central News reported some recent discoveries in a June 24, 2003 article entitled “Stress Changes Your Brain”. SCN: “We all have a little stress in our lives. But after studying nerve cells in a banana-shaped area of the brain called the hippocampus, a hub for learning and memory, neuroscientists say chronic stress can have devastating effects on our brains.” Scientist Bruce McEwen said the hippocampus is important and “provides context” for important events. Science postulates that the hippocampus is highly stimulated in most people during intense events, like 9-11, thus creating permanent images. It works in extreme positive and negative situations. AffordableRX’s “Health Section” states that stress in the brain, activating the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis (grouping), causes great damage. This stress causes “High Blood Pressure (hypertension), loss of appetite, weight loss, muscle wasting, GI ulcers, loss of reproductive function, suppression of the immune system, and depression.” The Franklin Institute Online adds: “A chronic overreaction to stress overloads the brain with powerful hormones that are intended only for short-term duty in emergency situations. Their cumulative effect damages and kills brain cells.” From Future Pundit: “Researchers at Johns Hopkins have discovered that sudden emotional stress can also result in severe but reversible heart muscle weakness that mimics a classic heart attack.” Even if you loved the movie and were completely sympathetic to John Creasy’s actions, can all of you honestly say that this intensely dark and violent movie didn’t stimulate internal stress? If so, you should be working for the CIA yourself. As you can see, even if you are a part of the percentage who doesn’t get stressed when you watch grotesque acts committed on film, some are adversely stimulated. Other factors come into play, and the stress level is constantly intensified. Going on from Creasy’s attempted suicide, the little girl is captured. This stirs a deep primal emotion, a fear that is not named. There are only a few things worse than having your child kidnapped. And, the way Man On Fire was shot, you are right inside the film. Fear is the primary agent used in information gathering, brainwashing, mind controlling, and a plethora of other unsavory acts, especially when used to dominate or coerce. NPR’s Ira Flatow gives an online streaming oral dissertation called “Making False Memories”. He begins by telling us that cops and prosecutors know that many memories are totally, unknowingly fabricated. Studies have been done to corroborate this. A John Hopkins scientist is interviewed, and adds that creating false memories in the lab are very easily, and regularly, done. Stress can quicken the fabricated memory process. Directly after the kidnapping, we have Creasy cutting off and burning the gang-bangers fingers. This brings additional sharply intense fear. By this point in the movie, chemicals are sparking off in the brain like a meteor storm in a beach’s night sky. More- http://www.conspiracyarchive.com/Commentary/On_Fire.htm
