Medias, Romania (by Raoul Po)

Remembering the beautiful things... when even the media was one of us, long after the film’s release.

Who could argue that wouldn't be the case today... no one, right ?

How Media's Portrayal of the Paranormal Sends Us Hidden Messages

Hello Hello! i've been absent for enough time. i need this to be a official restart and Today I want to dive into something that's been on my mind lately – how movies, TV shows, video games, and other media featuring paranormal elements might actually be sending us deeper messages than we realize.

have you ever seen a movie and thought "okay this is a lil too real and a lil too deep, it something else about it?" or have a strange unknown feelings that there is more about it that we want to admit? that's what i want to talk about!

Discleimer: Please note that the viewpoints expressed in this blog post reflect personal interpretations and are not intended to influence your beliefs. Consider this as an exploration of ideas rather than a directive on what to believe, acknowledging the potential cognitive influences involved. In less professional words: This is just what I believe, and I wanted to share it with you. Believe whatever feels right to you, and don’t let anyone pressure you into believing something you don’t want to.

Have you ever noticed how powerfully media influences what we believe is possible? The way supernatural phenomena are consistently portrayed across our screens creates a shared cultural understanding that shapes how we interpret our own unusual experiences.

Think about it – when someone experiences something they can't explain, they often reach for concepts they've seen in movies or TV: ghosts, energy fields, parallel dimensions. This effectively programs our perception filters! The more we consume these ideas through entertainment, the more they shift from "impossible" to "maybe possible" in our minds.

This connects directly to our manifestation work – our beliefs about what's possible significantly impact our ability to manifest our desires. Media might be subtly expanding (or limiting) those beliefs without us even realizing it.

There are some things I've noticed that stood out to me when I see content like this.

Reflecting Our Collective Fears

Ever notice how paranormal movies seem to change with the times? That's because they mirror our collective anxieties! Possession films exploded during periods when people felt their cultural identity was threatened. Apocalyptic supernatural scenarios gained popularity during times of environmental or political uncertainty. These aren't just random trends – they're symbolic expressions of what we collectively fear.

Teaching Moral Lessons Through Supernatural Consequences

So many paranormal stories follow the same pattern: someone breaks a rule or moral code, and supernatural consequences follow. Sound familiar? These aren't just scary stories – they're modern morality tales warning us about the dangers of specific behaviors or attitudes. The message might be: don't mess with forces you don't understand, respect boundaries, or honor the past.

Hiding Truths in Plain Sight

Sometimes creators use supernatural elements to discuss topics that would be too controversial or difficult to address directly. By wrapping real-world issues in paranormal packaging, they allow us to engage with uncomfortable truths from a safe distance. Some believers even suggest certain creators intentionally embed warnings about hidden realities this way.

Connecting Us to Ancient Wisdom

Many paranormal stories draw heavily from historical mystical traditions and ancient knowledge systems. Could these portrayals be serving as conduits for forgotten wisdom? Traditional understandings of reality repackaged for modern consumption? The next time you watch something supernatural, notice the ancient symbols and concepts being referenced!

Expanding Our Consciousness

Stories featuring altered states, psychic abilities, or different dimensions challenge us to question our perception of reality. These narratives might be gently encouraging us to consider possibilities beyond our everyday experience – perfectly aligning with our work on shifting and manifestation!

Summary

This post explores how media representations of the paranormal influence our beliefs and perceptions. It suggests that these portrayals shape our understanding of what is possible, reflect societal fears, teach moral lessons through supernatural consequences, and may even hide deeper truths or ancient wisdom within their narratives. Additionally, it proposes that such media can expand our consciousness by challenging our perceptions of reality.

What do you think about this theory? Have you ever watched a paranormal movie or show that felt like it was hinting at something deeper? I'd love to hear your thoughts! And as always, I’m here to answer any questions!

So, if you're into Hugh Jackman right now and if you're spending a bit too much time on tiktok watching edits (I'm not judging, I'm doing the same)

You've probably seen edits of this movie called Swordfish which came out in 2001.

And you've probably seen lots of edits on a particular scene depecting the test that Stan (Hugh Jackman) has to pass to prove how good of an hacker he is.

This test involve three things: a computer, a gun against his temple, and a non-consesual sexual act. (Whoever thought those three things could mix up well is a fool, but that's not the point).

You're probably asking yourself why I'm bothering you with this piece of information. Well, good question. This scene rather erotic was of course used in edits and lots of people love it, commenting on how Hugh Jackman looks in this scene. Which of course raised multiple questions from other people.

First, why are we all romanticizing a scene of evident rape?

Second, why are we all normalizing it?

And thirdly, and maybe more from me, why are we portraying male SA like this?

Today I'll try to answer those answers the best I can and from my point of view only.

First of all, two questions in one really, why are we normalizing and romanticizing this scene of blatant SA? Well, for me there's multiple reasons to it.

As a society we're too used to see male SA like something to joke about or to sexualize. Because they're men. They had to enjoy it, right? After all that's what all men always think about.

Wrong of course. Men are human like everyone else, and they of course think about other things than sex. And they can be victims of SA, even though they are not the majority of the victims. But since when as a society we decided to make fun or to hide a minority of victims? Anyway.

But there's an other reason why we romanticized this scene. It's the way it is portrayed of course.

When doing a movie, and I'm not teaching any of you anything, the way of filming and representing thing is a big part of the project.

If you watched this movie (for the plot, Hugh, or any reason really) you'll see that this scene is not portrayed as terrible. Yes, he is in a dangerous situation and there's stress put on him. But he doesn't look horrified. Lots of the shots are big plan on his face. And I don't want to write details but he doesn't seem terrified, or scared, or like he doesn't want it.

And I can see why it can lull the viewer in a false sense of security. Of course he's enjoying it. He doesn't look like anything else. Then it must be okay.

No. Wrong.

That's where we, and when I say we I'm talking about society and I include myself, that's where we are wrong. There is no excuse for what's happening and we should be horrified. But we're not. Because it is not portrayed as something horrible.

I haven't see the whole movie, this scene saying everything I had to know. Maybe it's a good movie, but I'm sure this scene is not talked again like a trauma or something horrendous. Once again, downplaying the horror of the situation.

That, for me at least, is why as a society we let ourself see this scene as something erotic. Especially with the way Hugh Jackman is portrayed as a big sex symbol (I could do a whole presentation on that too).

That leave us with my question, why are we portraying male SA like that?

Well, Jamie, that's a good question. I'll tell you why. It's because male SA is still a pretty sensitive and dirty subject for society. We're still not able of talking about female SA victims, so certainly not male victims.

And that vision is translated into our movies and TV shows. Most of the time, male SA is downplayed or acted as a joke or an erotic thing. And it's not always the producer's fault, it's also the public reaction to it. There's the 'Swordfish', but also Morty in 'Rick and Morty', Angel Dust in 'Hazbin Hotel', and in 'Hunger Games', and in 'Baby Reindeer'.

The list is long of male SA representation in the medias that are either now played seriously or not taken seriously. And maybe it's time we change our point of view on this matter.

To conclude, can we blame the people who made edits or enjoyed edits of this scene? I don't think we should. It is pointless, and the way the scene was made played a big role in it. It also shows that most people didn't really watch the movie and just wanted to make thirst traps, which is not something to condemn.

Thank you for reading this. I don't know if I make sense or if it's even a smart thing to say. Maybe I'm wrong or maybe I'm already saying something that was already said. In either case, thanks for reading and have a good life.

PS: I'm always open to hear always points of view. I'm not always right, and who knows maybe I'll learn a thing or two.
