Even with a glimpse of the movie and television screens it’s easy to see that they’re full of theory propaganda films conspiracy – legends of mysterious hostile forces that build global machinations of humanity or just stand behind all that occurs: from stock market crises to incorrect weather forecasts in Moscow in the first weeks of September 2014.

The three most famous are now being repeated on various channels. conspiracy theological series “Twin Peaks”, Lost and X-Files, moreover so concentrated filing of X-Files or Secret materials “(two episodes daily morning and evening) on ​​our TV is not even in the 1990s, when the male community simply went crazy Gillian Anderson as FBI Agent Dana Scully.

The big movie is a little behind the serial, but they help him distributors. Orlando’s Zulu movie will appear on screens in September Bloom and Forest Whitaker, which we have given the name “Theory conspiracy. “As a matter of fact they gave! Immediately revised the film with the original by the name “Conspiracy Theory” – and discovered there is a phrase that perfectly characterizes and conspiracy theories, and their fans. Mel Gibson character says heroine Julia Roberts: “They would never have allowed this. – Who are they?” I don’t know, that’s why they are called that: they. ”

Owls are not what they seem

The popularity of conspiracy theories in modern Russia more than clear. It has long been observed that such theories take hold minds in troubled times. People rush in search of external, especially backstage enemies. The authorities in every way encourage this hobby, because it distracts people from realizing and analyzing genuine social issues. It is no exaggeration to say that Russia sitting now on the needle of conspiracy theories.

On different channels (where with the help of people who magnify themselves political publicists, where through specially filmed movies commented by a frightening voice instantly troubling) the public is told who and for money what secret orders dirty Russia in the XIX century, in the beginning, in the middle and late XX, early XXI, which world backstage is hurting now.

But why, for example, are Americans sitting on the same needle? After all they produce the majority of films and TV shows that all someone secretly planned what is happening on the planet and controls.

First, let’s try to classify conspiracy theories. Having opened Internet, you will find a lot of similar classifications. All of them long, confused, global alternates with private (the most popular of small conspiracy theories: who actually killed John Kennedy, did the Americans find an alien in 1947 (yes), died whether Elvis Presley (no), whether McCartney died (yes, in 1966 and a long time ago replaced by a double), whether the Americans landed on the moon (there are two version: no, it was a staging, and yes, but they hastily closed the moonlight program, because they found dangerous on our satellite unknown), how Gagarin died (not as they say, but perhaps in time of an unsuccessful flyby of the same Moon), who blew up the twin towers 11 September (US intelligence) and who is behind the death of the princess Diana).

Reliance on cinema allows this classification to be simplify. Once, not just anyone, but Borges authoritatively proved that all world literature, with all its diversity, is reduced only to four plots. So here we will risk assuming that everything numerous conspiracy theories are subdivided into just four type.

War of cars

The first type is an actively growing conspiracy of artificial mind versus human. Epic movie about terminators, killer robots from the future, which this year marks thirty years (two first and best films were created by legendary James Cameron in 1984 and 1991), only at the first inattentive glance seems like amusement.

In fact, the Terminators, the Matrixes, and I, the robot are all in their own way develop those gloomy philosophical ideas on which based on the famous Stanley Kubrick movie scripted by Arthur Clark “2001: A Space Odyssey.”

It’s about the fact that artificial intelligence cannot but gain the ability to self-development and self-reproduction. And when gaining, it will begin to create its own ideology. Is logical suggest that he considers himself more perfect than limited human mind. In this case, the war of cars against people are not so fantastic.

Everywhere Masons

The second type of conspiracy, relatively speaking, is Masonic: there is secret world government, which dominates humanity. Here we have a direct path to X-Files, where the theme, however, is somewhat adjusted: this government includes the political elite major powers (including, presumably, Russia), which at the same time is in a long-standing conspiracy with aliens whose purpose is gradual colonization of the earth.

In one of the X-Files series, which was revised the other day, we are talking that even a speck of smallpox vaccination is a readable mark, according to which in times when there were no microchips, it was easy identify, record in the database and track down any person. Too bad some of the conspiracy theories of the second type so far not filmed.

For example, the concepts of the creator of the New Academic Chronology Fomenko, who argued that world history was falsified in XIX century, the rulers of Europe and everything was not so and not then.

At one time, this concept was actively shared by Garry Kasparov. But after all make a film about how a researcher gets to the bottom truths (that governments completely rewrote for their own benefit the real history of mankind), a thriller would be no worse than “Yes Vinci, “where the idea is developing that the backstage hides from us the truth about Christ. And it’s very positive.

Backstage capitalists

The third type: megacorporations rule the world. See “Hotel” New Rose “Abel Ferrara. Or” Quantum of Solace – the penultimate film about Bond. Or Tom Tykver’s International, in which the world behind the scenes is led by a criminal clan of bankers. Or the Truman Show and “The tail wags the dog”, which shows that everyone is run by everyone media empires.

Again: much remains to be done. No one else for example, did not make a picture about the world conspiracy of pharmacists and World Health Organization regularly inventing new dangerous viruses and pandemics to sell us at crazy prices unnecessary medicines (there’s a lot of gossip about such a conspiracy Internet).

Secret power

The fourth and final type: the backstage elite of the world community are forces that we consider mystical. The main ones here now, of course, vampires with their eternal life, eternal love and eternal contempt for humanity.

Number of films and TV shows about vampires filmed in recent twenty years, just do not count: the series “The Vampire Diaries” and “True Blood”, which replaced the fashionable in the 1990s “Buffy – vampire slayer “,” Blade “with sequels,” Another World “with sequels, “Twilight” with sequels, numerous films Masters: “Dependence” by Abel Ferrara, “Between” Francis Ford Coppola, Neal Jordan’s Interview with the Vampire and Byzantium, Survive only lovers of “Jim Jarmusch,” The Dark Shadows “by Tim Burton, “Thirst” of cult Korean Chan Uk-Pak.

About the continuing interest of film directors from Murnau to Herzog of the same Coppola to the figure of Count Nosferatu-Dracula and to say something is unnecessary. Moreover, if werewolves in literature and cinema are usually gopniks, then vampires – that’s what the secret aristocracy of the world is. Again, a good symbol: they all up there drink our blood.

This is perhaps the main reason for the worldwide popular love of theories conspiracy: distrust of the authorities, which develops among the masses, is not only in moments of national hysteria.

Because conspiracy theories are so popular in America. As soon as we are given an official point of view on events, the people immediately begins to suspect that she is called to hide the dirty the truth. World politics adds fuel to the fire: it often classified, lies cynically and frankly – how not to look in it secret intentions?
