Esoteric Hollywood is a game-changer in an arena of tabloid-populated titles. After years of scholarly research, Jay Dyer has compiled his most read essays, combining philosophy, comparative religion, symbolism and geopolitics and their connections to film. Readers will watch movies with new eyes, able to decipher on their own, as the secret meanings of cinema are unveiled.
An expose of mysterious Hollywood and those who serve ti.
A deep dive into sci-movies and satanic themes. Everything I read relates to areas I've studied. No flaws. Print is small for me but I read it all. Cult movies are explained in depth. You won't look at H'wood or movies the same again. Definitely covers a wide range of interests, directors, and themes.
While many think watching films and media are just fun (I would agree) many forget that symbolism and propaganda have more psychological power than many expect. Jay Dyer uses great philosophical and political overviews to point out the very real internal aspects of films, books, magazines, so called sciences and cults. This is not a random conspiracy theory book but rather a good collection of reviews and exposition of past and present media. All of which we tend to miss due to our limited scope.
The world as we know it is not what has been taught in school. This book does a great job at pointing out the use of symbolism to convey messages that affect our social consciousness and shape our perspective of the world.
The book in itself is a good read and I recommend it for everyone who is interested in the occult and pop-culture. But the bookbinding quality is not good. Some pages fall out even with the slightest touch. This does not seem to be an problem with Esoteric Hollywood 2.
