Saw your comment on a post about Sound of Freedom and I came here to say.....shame on you. Shame. On. You. Since when is child trafficking a political issue? Since when is calling pedophilia bad a political issue? If you have a problem with this movie then maybe YOU'RE the problem. No better than the big Disney fat cats who tried to suppress this movie and keep it shelved. Or theaters messing with the ac and saying seats are sold out when they're empty. Shame on you! God's children are not for sale!

I wish people would do a little more research on this topic. If Hollywood and the "powers that be" didn't want this movie being seen, it wouldn't have been released in over 3000 theatres countrywide. It's being shown in major and minor locations all across America and Canada, and the vast majority of those locations aren't having any problems.

Case and point, my own mother and her friend went to see it last week and everything was fine. No issues whatsoever and the seats were packed. The movie isn't being "suppressed". This is all a marketing gimmick from the production company Angel Studios, a Christian streaming service. The movie is jam-packed with lies and only serves to glorify Tim Ballard, the man the movie is based on, and Christianity as a whole. I truly wish this wasn't political, but it is. They made it political.

Tim Ballard has provably exaggerated or fabricated many, if not most of his "rescues", and his organisation, Operation Underground Railroad, has been widely criticised by professional anti-sex trafficking organizations (including other Christian-based ones) for years. He has accumulated millions of dollars for his so-called "non-profit" organisation, and he runs several for profit organisations on the side. Most of this money is presumably pocketed by Ballard and his cohorts, as millions is unaccounted for and only a sliver goes to OUR. It's not about "saving children", it's about money and spreading Ballard's religious ideology.

This is compounded by the fact that Ballard, before he left the CIA, was almost always the last officer to arrive on any scene where child sex trafficking was involved, yet he somehow has hundreds of stories where he's singlehandedly rescued children. In fact, the "true story" the film is based on, where Ballard apparently saved a five year old boy—who, by Ballard's own account, ran up to him, hugged him, and begged to be taken away—didn't even happen. According to court receipts from the arrest and trial of Earl Venton Buchanan (the pedophile in possession of the little boy), Ballard arrived at the scene long after the boy was rescued and taken into custody, and he was barely involved. The documents can easily be found online under the San Diego incident reports.

Ballard was also caught lying about saving one particular girl named Liliana, the literal poster child for OUR. As it turns out, Liliana rescued herself by escaping her captors when she was seventeen and being trafficked in New York. Even more egregious, every time Ballard told her story, he would lower her age to garner more sympathy ... as if her being seventeen wasn't sad enough. In one instance, he claimed she was 14. In another, he claimed she was 11. Ballard also exploited Liliana's story as a reason for needing stricter border patrols and a better wall, despite the fact that she was being abused in America. There is no evidence to suggest OUR had anything to do with her rescue.

Ballard and his "organisation" have even ruined entire legitimate rescue operations in other countries and put children at risk, like in the Dominican Republic, where he endangered the lives of 26 girls by playing vigilante, being followed around by a camera crew, and causing a shootout that effectively traumatised the children he used as a prop to lure in buyers. His response to the mishap and rightful criticism by the Dominican police was basically, "Well ... you win some, you lose some."

The children were released without receiving any therapy or rehabilitative care, and Anne Gallagher, the leading global expert on the international law on human trafficking, said that OUR has an "alarming lack of understanding about how sophisticated criminal trafficking networks must be approached and dismantled" and went on to call the work of OUR "arrogant, unethical, and illegal". Those children easily could've been shot and killed. This occurred in 2014, but Ballard still insists that his "rescues" be filmed, and he even pitched it as a reality TV show. His reasoning for this, he says, is to "spread awareness", but we all know it's because he loves the spotlight.

Entire law enforcement agencies have actually cut ties with or even condemned OUR, such as Washington State Law Enforcement, as a result of Ballard's proclivity to conflate child sex trafficking with consensual adult sex work. Ballard and OUR regularly set up sting operations and lambasted the men who showed up for kink play, publicly branding them as pedophiles, even though the men in question were under the impression that they were meeting for sex with consenting, adult women. This led to several lawsuits against OUR, all of which they rightfully lost.

Ballard's means of gathering intelligence is also questionable, as he, by his own admission, sometimes consults psychic mediums for information on missing children and asks where they're being held captive. I genuinely wish I was joking about that.

The main actor in Sound of Freedom, Jim Caviezel, also has ties to the Qanon movement, and Caviezel himself is a hardcore conspiracy theorist. He believes that Donald Trump is "the new Moses" and that "liberals [literally] drink the blood of children". This is ironic, considering Caviezel and Ballard both met Trump several times, yet never pressed him for information regarding Epstein's client list. Moreover, Caviezel and Ballard both donate to the Catholic Church, which funds the largest child sex trafficking ring on the southern border and has a history of rampant sexual abuse of children. Even more insane, Caviezel admitted to watching child porn, to apparently "get in character" for the movie. He claimed that if Ballard had to watch it, it only "made sense" that he'd have to watch it, too. To "motivate" him to fight child trafficking.

...Alright, bud.

Surprise, surprise, both men are also outspokenly anti-LGBTQ+, despite the fact that children/teens in that community are statistically more likely to be trafficked. The majority of child trafficking is not the result of random kidnappings, as the movie would have you believe. The majority of children are actually recruited into sexual exploitation by a family member or friend/boss. The majority of those children are also not generally passed around in Mexico, like this racist, white savior-oriented movie would have you believe, but they actually either stay in or end up in America. America is, in fact, the largest consumer of child porn and child sex slaves this side of the globe (and nearly the largest producer), yet the movie depicts almost every pedophile as Mexican or some other non-white race.

At the end of the movie, Ballard comes on screen and asks people to donate/buy tickets for others, so that the movie can spread awareness. This is why so many seats in certain theatres are empty, despite websites saying the seats are sold out. Whether or not Angel Studios is also shadow purchasing tickets to boost sales can't be proven, obviously, but I wouldn't put it past them. These "conspiracies" have all served to market the movie and boost ticket sales.

As for Disney trying to keep the movie shelved, that's also a lie. Yes, Disney did technically shelve the movie when they bought Fox, since it didn't exactly correspond with its family-friendly brand, but they had no problem with the movie being released under a different studio. The actual reason Sound of Freedom was in "production hell" for five years was because Tim Ballard kept trying to milk donations. Despite the fact that filming wrapped up in 2018, he kept asking for more and more and more. He used people's faith and understandably emotional response to something as wicked as pedophilia to rake in millions. That's what Ballard is really about, money and stardom. In the movie, there's even a post-credit message where Jim Caviezel says the movie was held back to "maximize its distribution and raise awareness about child sex trafficking".

Translation: Ballard greedy.

Ballard himself admitted the accuracy of this movie "isn't important", and that he just wanted to get the movie out to "spread the word". By that, he of course means the Christian word—but why should fighting child sex trafficking be tied to religion? At the end of the day, Sound of Freedom is a vanity project, and it spreads incredibly dangerous misinformation. Stranger still, Ballard left the OUR just prior to the debut of Sound of Freedom, a fact he's neglected to mention in every interview regarding the movie. It's not clear why he left, but it seems that he fled after an internal investigation into the organisation began. That's not too suspicious or anything. My guess is authorities are trying to find out were all that missing money went, and Ballard doesn't want to be there when they figure it out.

By the way, that final line you hit me with; "God's children are not for sale", the line from the movie that Ballard claims a fellow agent whispered to him while on a case, as well as the title of the movie, which another agent supposedly said to Ballard after a giant rescue operation—those were lies, too. No agents ever said that to him. The police reports for those cases, as well as the agents Ballard supposedly quoted, all said he was the last to arrive on the scene and those conversations never happened.

Ballard cannot be trusted and Sound of Freedom is based on a lie. It's a scam. Everything he does is a scam. All he cares about is spreading his ideology, making money, and looking like a superhero. And this is only the tip of the iceberg. Look into his other companies, and into the ex-military soldiers and police officers who left OUR because of how poorly trained their people are when it comes to rescue operations.

Every sane person knows pedophilia and human trafficking is wrong, but giving your money to Qanon-adjacent, right-wing leaning, LGBTQ+-hating, Catholic Church-sympathising, fame-chasing, money-hungry, perpetual liar Tim Ballard isn't going to help.

The best way to help out is learning about the signs of child trafficking. Keep an eye out for any children that might be getting abused. If you suspect something, report it, don't be a silent bystander. Volunteer within your community to make sure the children in your area have food and resources, support LGBTQ+ youth, and watch the other adults around you to ensure they're not acting inappropriately. You can also donate to social programs that create safe spaces for children and even apply for jobs that specialise in these fields. Don't go to see a movie just because it aligns with your religious beliefs, feel sad for a little while, then sit on your ass and let Tim Ballard handle everything.

"UFO encounters are complete frameworks into which the personality of the witness becomes projected. Like a movie that terrifies you, makes you cry, laugh, or perspire in anguish, the experience becomes part of the witness's reality. The ufologists behave like social researchers who, trying to understand the phenomenon of the cinema, would randomly interview people coming out of theaters and take their testimony at face value; like the UFO witnesses, these people are not lying. Some of them have seen Godzilla, others have seen Bambi. The experience, in every case, was real to them.

But the reality we should inquire about, the reality UFO researchers are often ignoring, is the movie projector high up in a small, dark, locked room near the ceiling. In that room is the technology that will give you both Bambi and Godzilla, Star Wars and, yes, even Close Encounters.

Like the technology of the cinema, the UFO technology is a meta-system. It generates whatever phenomena are appropriate at our level, at a given epoch, in a given state of the "market."

As Bertrand Meheust has brilliantly proven, the symbolic display seen by the abductees is identical to the type of initiation ritual or astral voyage that is embedded in the traditions of every culture. In that sense, the UFO experience is a very real trigger that releases powerful imagery we are all carrying in our "collective unconscious" (in Jungian terms). It is useless to ask why some witnesses see giants and others see dwarfs, why some abductions are benign and some are harmful, why some encounter victims are shown sophisticated technology, while others report rapes and other indignities.

While our fellow ufologists are clustering on the sidewalk interviewing moviegoers, I think the real questions are elsewhere. My own research takes me up the back stairs where nobody goes. My goal is to pick the lock of the projectionist's secret little booth, to discover at last what makes the reels turn and the machine tick."

The Economy (Taylor’s Version)

See how much money Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour actually made

Posted October 13, 2023 - The Washington Post

Call it a gold rush: Taylor Swift is adding billions to the U.S. economy.

Swift’s record-shattering Eras Tour is set to be the most lucrative concert run in American history. But the massive production not only provided a jolt of money to sold-out stadiums — it also infused the American economy with a trickle-down flow of cash.

Now, as the show heads to movie theaters this weekend, millions more will experience — and shell out cold, hard cash for — a moment with Swift.

As she hits the silver screen, here’s a look at The Economy (Taylor’s Version).

The biggest windfall is headed straight to Swift, who stands to make as much as $4.1 billion from the Eras Tour, according to estimates from Peter Cohan, an associate professor of management at Babson College.

Ranking in the dollars

$4.1 billion - Estimated personal earnings from the Eras Tour.

That’s assuming the pop star ends up keeping the standard artist’s share of roughly 85 percent of her tour’s revenue, with average ticket prices of $456. Swift’s earnings would be the most from a single tour for any musical act to date — and more than the yearly economic output of 42 countries, including Liberia, which has more than 5 million people.

But the impact of the Eras Tour extends far beyond what Swift takes home. In one of the few efforts to assess spending by concertgoers, software company QuestionPro quizzed 592 Swifties who responded to an opt-in online survey. Based on their answers and average concert attendance, the company estimates that Swift’s fans spent about $93 million per show — yes, on tickets, but also on merchandise, travel, hotels, food and outfits.

Add all that up, and by the end of the U.S. tour, you’ve got a $5.7 billionboost to the country’s economy. That’s enough to give $440 to each person in Swift’s home state of Pennsylvania. Or almost enough to send every American a $20 bill.

(Technically $17.10 per person)

(Sorry, we don’t know how many cats personally received a $20 bill from Taylor. But it’s enough to give each of her three cats $1.9 billion.)

...Ready for it?

The mania began months before the March kickoff of the Eras Tour. Presale tickets went on sale in November — sending millions of fans into a frenzy and causing Ticketmaster to crash. A class-action lawsuit and a congressional inquiry followed, as did the ire of many Swifties.

Tickets, which started at $49, sold for many multiples of their face value on resale sites like SeatGeek.

$1,611 - Average ticket resale price on SeatGeek.

That burst of spending has revived the entertainment industry after a years-long pandemic slump.

“Swift and her ‘Eras’ tour have redefined entertainment economics,” said Chris Leyden, director of growth marketing at SeatGeek.

The loudest woman these towns have ever seen

The tour’s economic boost spread far past the walls of Swift’s stadium venues, as fans traveled from near and far to any show they could get their hands on. The Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia even put the Swift effect in a report — saying concertgoers provided a sizable boost to hotel revenue in May.

Hotels, restaurants and shops around the country felt the upswing, with millions of dollars flowing into the 20 U.S. cities Swift visited this summer. Cincinnati estimated that it would see about $48 million in additional economic impact, according to Visit Cincy and the Cincinnati Regional Chamber’s Center for Research and Data.

Cincinnati $48 million

Denver $148 million

Los Angeles $320 million

Kansas City $48 million

In Los Angeles, where Swift performed six shows, the California Center for Jobs and the Economy predicted a $320 million boost to the county. Kansas City tourism organization Visit KC said the region got an estimated $48 million impact from the tour’s July stop.The Common Sense Institute, which studies the state of Colorado’s economy, predicted the boom from Swift’s Denver performances would add up to $140 million statewide.

“The [Eras Tour] was a shot in the arm to a part of the regional economy that’s really been lagging,” said Mike Kahoe, chief economist for the California center. “It brought some much-needed dollars to the tourism industry.”

Hotel analytics group STR calculated tour cities produceda $208 million bump in hotel room revenue, over and above normal seasonal levels.

$208 million - Estimated additional room revenue

In Seattle, Swift set a record for single-day revenue for downtown hotels — notching $7.4 million, about $2 million more than the record set during a Major League BaseballAll-Star Game earlier the same month, according to Visit Seattle and STR.

“To put the impact into context, $208 million is basically the combined room revenue generated in New York City and Philadelphia in one week,” STR senior research analyst M. Brian Riley wrote. And that’s just for the actual nights of the tour, not including fans who arrived early orstayed longer.

Best believe they bejeweled

Swift’s fans want to embody their favorite Era — and that means splurging on elaborate outfits and costumes.

“Is there anyone here who put a lot of work, thought and preparation into lyric memorization and/or what you were going to wear?” Swift asked the crowd to loud cheers at a Los Angeles show in August.

A core accessory for any Swiftie is a few — or a few dozen — friendship bracelets to grace their wrists and to trade at shows. The jewelry, inspired by a lyric in Swift’s song “You’re On Your Own Kid,” is often handmade or bought online and boasts popular Swift lyrics.

Three million dollars in friendship bracelets sold on Etsy between April and August

One Etsy seller, Kara White, started making the bracelets with her mom earlier this year, when the tour began. They got orders for 1,500 bracelets in a single day as fans prepared for the Los Angeles shows. White and her mom have made about $15,000 this year selling bracelets.

“It just shows how much she makes her fans go crazy,” White said.

Coveted tour merchandise that were hard to nab had fans turning to internet resale sites. One of the most popular items: a $65 blue crewneck with the Eras Tour logo.

1,600% increase in blue Eras crewnecks sold on eBay from March to July

At the venues, merch lines were long — inside and at trucks parked outside. Justin Paul, a DJ, producer and creative director who teaches music business courses at UCLA Extension, came up with a conservative estimate — $864,000 for each show — for Swift’s merch sales inside venues by using the number of people at each show and an average of how much concertgoers typically spend on merch. Still, Swift is a special case.

$1,279 - Average amount each Eras Tour attendee spent:

Food/drinks: $106

Tickets: $396

Travel/lodging: $384

Merch: $159

Outfits: $234

“You look at how much consumers are spending to see Taylor Swift, and it is quite an astonishing amount,” said Dan Fleetwood, president of research and insights at QuestionPro. “And not only are they spending this money, but in a lot of cases, they’re saying they would gladly do it again.”

Judging by the QuestionPro survey respondents, the average fan spent nearly $1,300 on outfits, travel, tickets and extras for the concert.

One for the money, two for the show

All of that Swiftie spending meant restaurants, shops and security firms had to keep up. One solution: hiring temporary workers while the tour is in town.

“When Taylor Swift comes to town, she brings a surge of economic activity,” said Daniel Altman, chief economist at Instawork, which allows businesses to employ workers by the hour.

1,000% increase in demand for hourly workers within a half-mile of Swift’s Boston-area shows

Not only are there more jobs in and around Eras stadiums, butthey pay better, too: The average hourly rate offered on Instawork within a five-mile radius of Swift’s May 13 show in Philadelphia was $20.57, $2 higher than usual.

There have been longer-term lifts in employment, too. In Los Angeles, Swift’s six-day stop was estimated to generate enough revenue to fund 3,300 new jobs, according to the California Center for Jobs and the Economy. That would be enough to staff every bookstore and news stand in the L.A. area.

3,300 jobs enough to staff every bookstore and news stand in L.A.

Swift also passed on some of that karma — and cash — to her employees.

She gave every truck driver on the tour an extra $100,000 this summer, and she gifted bonuses to sound technicians, caterers, dancers and other staff, People magazine reported in August.

Look what Swift made them do

Swift may have been the main event, but fans shelled out for days of related festivities, with plenty of small businesses happy to bask in her afterglow. There were tour-inspired ice cream flavors in Pennsylvania, bonbons in Colorado and lattes in New Hampshire.

In Washington state, Neko Cat Cafe hosted feline-friendly “Taylor listening parties” at its two locations to commemorate the tour’s arrival. The small business made over $3,000 from the event, with ticket sales at its Bellingham location — almost 90 miles north of Seattle — 140 percent higher than on a typical Friday night.

Forty cats, all available for adoption, wore Swift-themed bandanas while humans drank glittery wine and ate “Lover”-themed cookies. Tickets, at $40 a pop, promptly sold out.

That Midas touch extended around the country: In California, Susie Cakes sold $50,000 worth of Swift-themed cupcakes. Seattle’s Japonessa Sushi Cocina dished out $10,000 in “Reputation” sushi rolls and glitter-filled cocktails. And in Kansas City, Donutology filled orders for 20,000 Eras-themed donuts, which became a staple at “Tayl-gating” parties in the parking lot before Swift hit the stage.

In Minneapolis, Inbound Brew Co. racked up twice as much money than on a normal weekend when it hosted three nights of Eras-related festivities this summer, including trivia games, live-band karaoke and a dance party, according to general manager Emily Elmer.

“This was bigger for us than when the Super Bowl came to town in 2018,” she said.

If this was a movie

The first leg of her North American tour may be over, but Swift can’t stop, won’t stop moving … this time into movie theaters and football stadiums (when athletes are actually on the field). She has become a recognizable figure at Kansas City Chiefs games to watch her rumored paramour, tight end Travis Kelce. Her appearances have caused sales of Kelce’s jersey to jump and,in at least one case, NFL ticket prices to rise after rumors Swift would be in attendance, according to NPR.

$37 million in tickets sold for the Eras Tour concert film in the first day of pre-sales at AMC, Regal and Cinemark theaters

Eras, too, is onto its next phase. In November, the pop star will take her 146-show tour international, with stops in South America, Asia, Australia and Europe. But first, Swift heads to the movies — where global pre-sales have already surpassed $100 million, according to AMC. Fans, the movie chain said, are turning up “from the largest cities to the smallest towns.”

Long story short: Swift’s economic dominance is about to begin again.

"Hollywood vs Indie: A Deep Dive into Audience Differences"

Examining the Differences Between Audiences of Hollywood Blockbusters and Independent Films

Understanding the audience is crucial when analyzing the viewing patterns for Hollywood blockbusters in contrast to independent films. Each category attracts distinct demographics, preferences, and behaviors. This blog explores these contrasts, offering insights backed by comprehensive research on demographic profiles, viewer choices, and market trends.

Demographic Differences

As per a 2016 report by the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA), the average age of a Hollywood moviegoer is notably younger compared to that of the indie film audience. Typically, a Hollywood film viewer is around 30 years old, while an indie filmgoer averages 45 years old. Looking closer at the age demographics, 62% of Hollywood’s audience is under 35, versus 38% for indie films. Gender also differs: Hollywood's viewership is predominantly female (52% female, 48% male), whereas indie films see a slightly more male audience (51% male, 49% female).

These demographic distinctions are vital for filmmakers targeting specific audiences. Younger viewers might favor the high-energy, visually spectacular Hollywood movies, while older, more thoughtful audiences may appreciate the narrative complexity found in indie films.

Viewer Preferences

A study by comScore reveals that indie film audiences tend to be more educated. Approximately 61% possess a college degree or higher, compared to 45% of Hollywood audiences, indicating a tendency for indie viewers to prefer intellectually engaging content. Furthermore, indie film fans are frequent moviegoers; 44% watch 10 or more movies annually, in contrast to 25% for Hollywood’s audience.

Genre preferences also vary significantly. Indie film audiences generally lean towards dramas and documentaries, genres that often provide substantial narratives and real-world insights. Conversely, Hollywood audiences prefer action and comedies, seeking thrilling and light-hearted entertainment. These preferences allow content creators to tailor their movies to better align with their targeted audiences.

Market Analysis

Market trends highlight the clear differences between Hollywood and indie film viewership. A BusinessWire report indicates that the global independent film market is forecasted to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.5% from 2018 to 2023. This growth is fueled by the increasing popularity of streaming services, which provide indie films with a wider reach. On the other hand, the Hollywood box office has experienced slight revenue declines in recent years, hinting at a shift in viewing habits likely influenced by the diverse and accessible content available on streaming platforms.

Segmenting Film Audiences

Proper audience segmentation benefits filmmakers and distributors alike. The Film Festival Alliance has identified six primary audience segments for independent films:

Art House Aficionados: Educated, affluent, frequent moviegoers who favor foreign, independent, and documentary films.

Cinephiles: Deeply passionate about films, often attending multiple film festivals.

Festival Film Buffs: Regular attendees of film festivals but also enjoy mainstream movies.

Mainstream Movie Lovers: Prefer mainstream films but are open to independent films.

Indie Film Curious: Occasionally watch films and are developing an interest in indie films but require more information.

Infrequent Moviegoers: Rarely visit theaters and show limited interest in indie films.

Segmenting audiences helps filmmakers precisely target their marketing strategies, optimizing engagement and box-office success.

Viewer Preference Trends

Recent findings from Nielsen point to a growing segment of "indie-curious" viewers. These individuals show interest in independent films but may not be regulars at film festivals. They often discover indie films through streaming platforms and social media, presenting filmmakers with a strategic opportunity to market their content via these channels.

Another significant trend is the increasing demand for diverse and inclusive storytelling. Films featuring underrepresented groups are performing exceptionally well at the box office. Catering to this demand can expand the audience reach and enhance the cultural relevance of a film.

Market Analysis: Mainstream vs Indie Audiences

Although the number of mainstream Hollywood viewers surpasses that of indie films, the indie audience is growing at a faster pace. The MPAA highlights the decline in frequent moviegoers (those attending the cinema at least once a month) alongside an increase in occasional moviegoers (those attending a few times a year). This shift offers indie films a chance to attract a burgeoning segment seeking diverse and innovative content available through various digital platforms.

Actionable Insights

Understand your target audience: Use demographic data and viewer preferences to segment your audience and tailor your marketing efforts accordingly.

Leverage streaming services: With the rise in popularity of streaming platforms, consider releasing films on services like Netflix or Hulu to reach a wider audience.

Embrace diversity and inclusion: Incorporate diverse perspectives into filmmaking, as films with underrepresented groups are performing well at the box office.

Engage with your audience: Use social media and other digital platforms to connect with your audience and build a community around your film.

In conclusion, Hollywood and independent films attract different audiences with unique demographic traits, preferences, and viewing habits. Understanding and leveraging these differences can aid filmmakers and distributors in effectively targeting their marketing strategies, enhancing audience engagement, and driving box-office success.

"Does the word finally mean something to you?"

The word in question is 'surreal' and it's the word that I've chosen as a quick description of a movie called SONGS FROM THE SECOND FLOOR.

SONGS FROM THE SECOND FLOOR debuted at the Cannes International Film Festival in May, 2000, and subsequently played in theaters in many countries around the world -- including, here, in the U.S., where it debuted in theaters on July 3, 2002.

I'm using my own definition of the word. 'Surreal' refers to anything I encounter, anything I experience in the course of my life that turns my comprehension of reality on its head. My definition could be very close to what I would find at a dictionary's internet website. i.e., I have no intention of checking.

Can I cite some situation, some event in my life that I witnessed or participated in that was surreal? I'm drawing a blank in my mind. Instead, I do remember a co-worker at one of my jobs talking about a man he passed on a street in Manhattan who was moving about a number of inches above the surface of the sidewalk. I was doing telephone market research and political surveys, at the time, and the co-worker wanted everyone in the office to hear about what he had seen.

That was many years ago.

More recently, I watched a true crime TV series epsode that focused on someone named Warren Jeffs who was wanted by police for sexual assault of a child.

At one point during the series episode, I watched video footage shot outside one of Mr. Jeffs's properties. In the video footage, I saw a number of Mr. Jeffs's wives talking to reporters. I counted three wives; evidently, they all lived together at that property. The wives all had similar facial characteristics and were wearing similarly styled dresses. I silently asked myself "How does someone distinguish one wife from any other wife?" and "How does someone live day-to-day in a family with many wives?"

Consciously, I did not think of the word 'surreal.' For that matter, in both instances, I did not even think of the word 'weird' which is often used as a synonym.

So this piece at Tumblr is my way of asking people to watch SONGS FROM THE SECOND FLOOR. It's available on DVD with English subtites and it can also be viewed at the Internet Archive, also with English subtitles.

If you watch the movie from start to finish, I think you'll use both words to make sense of everything you see and hear on screen.

And if you consider some of the details, some of the aspects of the movie as an experience, you'll get a sense that it's unlike what you're accustomed to viewing on screen -- whether it's a movie theater screen or a screen at home (I recommend watching the movie in a theater). And if you watch the movie from start to finish, you'll understand why I've chosen the word 'surreal.'

The plot of SONGS FROM THE SECOND FLOOR plays out in a succession of vignettes. If the action in each of the vignettes was quicker than what does happen on screen, I would compare them in my mind to comedy skits from television shows like "Laugh In," but, in fact, the pace of each vignette is slow. And there are many vignettes -- so many that I lost count. I estimate that there are more than 30.

Each of the vignettes is shot in a manner that resembles one panel newspaper cartoons such as "The Argyle Sweater" or "Close to Home." The visual information in the movie frame is mostly static; i.e. very little of the physical setting of the vignette changes and the composition, especially for the vignettes that take place indoors, has a monotonous quality that is part of the specific story that plays out.

I counted four vignettes that both take place outdoors and were shot outdoors. In all four of these vignettes, the action is also slow, drawn out, so even though the movie frame presents much more space compared to the indoor vignettes, I felt that I was observing a strange, invisible obstruction that keeps the characters separate from each other. The fourth outdoor vignette closes out the movie.

Try to imagine sitting in a movie theater, watching vignette after vignette and feeling separate or cut off from reality.

Each vignette in SONGS FROM THE SECOND FLOOR presents one or more characters who find themselves in some kind of predicament. Their awareness of -- or comprehension of -- the predicament is usually the most memorable or significant bit of information for the viewer in that vignette.

From vignette to vignette, the predicaments have both a subjective and objective aspect that is crucial to the way that a viewer remembers any of the vignettes -- and, ultimately, the entire movie.

As the movie plods on (it has a running time of 98 minutes), the viewer has to figure out what has happened beyond the character in the vignette's immediate surroundings. The society presented in the movie is contemporary Sweden and contemporary Sweden seems to be in the process of falling apart. Nothing seems to be 'working the way it should work.' That includes the stock market. And communication between random strangers is barely civil, as vignettes in a psychiatric hospital clearly show.

Since the movie started shooting in 1999 and debuted in May of 2000, I'm reasonably certain that writer-director Roy Andersson wanted the audience to think about whether there was hope for Sweden in the new century.

The depth or degree of Mr. Andersson's pessimism seems clearly evident from the way that the movie concludes. The last vignette will stay in many viewers' memories for quite some time.

Mr. Andersson was not just thinking about his homeland; he was thinking about all industrialized societies.

If any of this sounds interesting to you who are reading my words, please find a way to watch the movie, either on DVD or online.

Unique Power of Cinema Advertising in India 

One could say that moviegoers and performers are idolized in India. In India, people of all ages have a big cinema craze. For this reason, high-value movie advertising continues to be seen in the market. The partnership between Indian cinema and advertising has a long history. Before we demonstrate the effectiveness of cinema advertising in the digital age, allow us to define the term cinema advertising for you. 

What is movie marketing?

In theaters, a wide variety of ads can be seen. Video advertisements can be tailored to a specific audience by taking into account the age range of the audience as well as the genre of the film being viewed. With in-theater video ads, marketers have a unique opportunity to reach their target audiences while they are actively watching.

Advantages of Cinema Advertising

Captive and Engaged Audience:

With cinema advertising, you may reach a captive, attentive, and engaged audience because viewers are unable to mute, swipe, or skip commercials on a large screen. According to surveys, one of the most well-liked forms of advertising is that moviegoers view commercials as an integral part of the whole movie-watching experience. Because of this, research indicates that movie advertisements have a greater impact than television advertisements, as they are twice as likely to be remembered.

You can select your target audience:

To reach your target demographic, use targeted advertising. It is simple to profile the movie’s audience given the kind of film it is. For instance, depending on the kind of audience this movie would draw, a luxury automobile manufacturer might decide to partner with a Marvel property like Iron Man for their advertising. When carefully chosen, every campaign that is targeted at the right audience can provide 10X impact and long-term memory.

Longer duration to tell your story:

Using cinema advertising to your advantage can help you communicate your brand narrative in greater detail without losing your audience’s attention, ensuring a favourable experience and remember. Distracted viewers can be a problem with many forms of advertising. Khushi Ambient Media Solution is the place to go if you’re seeking movie theatre advertising firms or agency in India. Audiences are also reported to retain movie advertisements for an extended period of time. 

Boost your brand image:

When your brand appears on the big screen before big-budget blockbusters, which often have production budgets in the millions of dollars, it elevates it above mere cinema advertising. Studies have indicated that advertisements displayed on movie screens were eight times more successful than those on television in differentiating a brand. Additionally, cinema advertising is growing at a faster rate each year roughly 13%. Contact Khushi Ambient Media Solution if your company is seeking movie theatre advertising in India. To assist you in reaching your objectives, we offer the most comprehensive on-screen advertising strategy, branding, activation, and innovations.

Integrated campaign performance:

In other words, businesses or campaigns that utilize all forms of media will do better because reinforcements contribute to higher recall and campaign success. All marketing strategies, including cinema, should be taken into consideration for campaigns to have a greater impact and to create a cohesive and smooth experience for customers.  

Are movies the ideal fit for your company? Discuss how movie advertising in India could help your brand’s growth with Khushi Ambient Media Solution Sales Representative right now.

'Last weekend I went to watch "Oppenheimer" at a movie theater in Yangpu District, and I found myself seated again in a massage chair. I expected it to vibrate for a bit of massage from neck to hip before the movie started, but I didn't expect it to start moving again just when the atomic bomb was about to go off in the movie.

How annoying!

I later did some research online and discovered that these massage chairs are becoming commonplace in many movie theaters, railway stations and shopping malls around the country. While some people find the chairs helpful in easing the strains of prolonged walking, others find them irritating.

Take movie theaters, for example, where the chairs vibrate without being activated by the sitter. These free, unsolicited mini-massages are a "teaser" to let people know that they can get a more thorough massage if they scan the QR code on the chair's armrest and pay for the service. The cost could be anywhere from 30 yuan (US$4.10) to 50 yuan an hour.

In some theaters, massage chairs are installed only in the best areas, so if patrons don't want to sit in them, they have to settle for less prime seats in back rows or on the sides.

"I feel that I'm being forced to accept these massage chairs, but I really don't like it when a chair moves automatically," said Zhang Yi, an information technology worker and movie fanatic. "And it's very uncomfortable because the metal roller parts are always at your back. I really hate such bother when watching a movie, but now most cinemas near my home have these chairs."

Safety issues have also surfaced amid reports that some massage chairs in public areas are dirty and stinky. Some users claim they have picked up allergies after using them.

Venues such as Hongxing Film World in Songjiang District have removed massage chairs after receiving complaints from patrons, but other sites have taken no action.

It is common, or course, for some adverse consequences to occur when an innovation first hits the market.

Several years ago, the advent of shared bikes and ride-hailing services provoked concerns about issues such as safety, privacy violation and traffic problems. However, after a few years of refinement and governmental intervention, such services are causing fewer problems than when they first appeared on the scene.

Will it be the same for massage chairs?

Consumer rights groups and public health authorities need to investigate. If the chairs are indeed violating consumers' rights or are a potential health hazard, then action needs to be taken.

Massage chair vendors and venues that install them ultimately bear responsibility for ensuring that people have the right to opt out of the service if they want and for providing regular maintenance to keep the chairs clean and free of anything that might cause adverse reactions.'
