Brett's Morbius Notes
Added 2023-07-16 03:24:43 +0000 UTCMorbius (2022)
Background
Director Daniel Espinosa also directed the CIA movie Safe House (2012), starring Denzel Washington.
Screenwriters Burk Sharpless and Matt Sazama wrote the Illuminati movie Gods of Egypt (2016). He also wrote a Dracula movie (Dracula Untold) in 2012. He also developed the recent Lost in Space show, which I know nothing about but which has a very conspicuous instantiation of the Illuminati one-eye motif on the cover poster.
Lucas Foster is a sus-lord producer, having produced multiple CIA-DOD films, including Mr. and Mrs. Smith (2005) and Tony Scott’s Man on Fire (2004)
Associate producer Pietro Scalia has edited over 40 films, including JFK (his second credit) and Black Hawk Down. He was in the editorial department of two previous Oliver Stone movies. He also edited the recent CIA movie The Gray Man. One of his first credits was for Cameron’s Closet (1988).
Executive producer Louise Rosner produced two of the Hunger Games movies.
Adria Arjona(Martine) plays Dorothy in the Emerald City TV series.
Propaganda for Elite Satanism
Milo is obviously a type of the devil. His real name is Lucien (Luficer).
The drama early on with the bullies and his violent lashing back is meant to promote the Satanic worship of power, which is directed specifically at the psychologically weak and self-styled victims, exactly the sort of people most vulnerable to Satanic deception.
Later, we’ll see his apartment decked out with horned animal skulls and other sinister art and artifacts, like a painting of a crocodile biting its own tail (ouroboros) and demonic masks; the floor is checkerboard, and he has a sinister-looking Joker/clown painting (the Joker being a type of the devil) with two disembodied left hands (left-hand path). (More below on the painting.)
Note that Leto holds up his bleeding left hand in the opening scene to summon the bats.
Milo lines about how they, the superhuman vampires, are the “few against the many,” comparing them to the Spartans.
But Milo was already a scion of the superclass, as indicated not only by his taste in art but by his ability to fund Morbius’s secret research and to outfit a container ship with lab facilities, security, etc. for the purpose. (Note the scene on the ship when the security goon tells Martine that even the doctors are just “part of the help.” Milo/Lucien obviously has his own security apparatus and deep state resources.)
He declares to onlookers, during the super-fight in the subway, that “we’ve evolved”—so esoteric evolutionism minus the New Age pretense of “moral evolution.”
Note the devil’s horns hand sign sticker in the background of the scene where Milo is at a magazine stand.
Pretty obvious religious inversion going on when Milo declares, “I am reborn; I am the resurrection.”
The superhumanizing blood concoction can definitely be read as a cipher for harvested adrenochrome, which is itself possibly a cipher not only for Satanic blood sacrifice but for literal endorphin extraction (see Liquid Dreams).
The red ball that Leto is tossing against the wall in his lab looks very much like a red apple, i.e., the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge of Good Evil, which Leto’s character has at least figuratively eaten to not only cure himself but unlock his godlike powers. In this same scene, he mentions drinking “red or blue” blood, which evokes the red vs. blue pill of The Matrix, which, as I’ve explained elsewhere at length, also refers to the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge. Leto goes on to say that he will eventually be forced to “drink the red or die.” This is a metaphor for Illuminati forced initiation by way of the red vs. blue pill analogy, which itself (to repeat) refers to the serpent’s temptation in the Garden of Eden.
William mentioned the occult importance of towers. We cut from the Swedish monarchy to a tower, and then to an interior shot of Dr. Leto in the tower. Towers appear prominently in others scenes, especially at the end. Probably the meaning relates to kundalini tantric sex magic, or converting aggression and sexual energy into magical power—which is being alluded to by the red pill/fruit of the Tree of Knowledge as the esoteric, forbidden source of godhood.
There’s a neon, downward-pointing triangle in Leto’s lab. Cf. the design of his cult.
The film could be retitled, “Dr. Morbius; or Sympathy for the Vampire.” It uses inversion to get the audience to accept its Satanic values, playing Milo, an obvious type for the devil, against Morbius, who becomes the “good guy” version of the devil we’re supposed to embrace. Dialectics.
Leto is getting an award from the Swedish monarchy at the beginning of the film. The director is part Swedish, but the monarchies of northern Europe are infamous in many circles for their relationship to the dark occult. It’s not clear what happens here, though: the exchange with the little girl in the hospital indicates that he somehow snubbed the royal family…but is he lying to build himself up? Does it suggest that he’s a pseudo-rebel, like so many Illuminati actors and musicians?
Note the eye design in the background of one of the street exterior scenes.
There’s definitely comparison to be made to Ed Sheeran’s “Bad Habits” vampire video, particularly given the scene where Milo “goes out” to prey on women (vampirism incorporating the metaphor of sexual exploitation).
Batman vs. Joker
There are some pretty obvious allusions not just to Batman and the Joker but to Nolan’s Batman Begins. Consider the bat swarms and Leto’s sonar control over the bats. Then there’s the container ship lab, which evokes another scene in Batman Begins.
Milo kills three “Wall Street traders,” just like the Joaquin Phoenix Joker. And the plot device works in a similar fashion, making the killer devil figure more sympathetic (as in the bully scene early in the film), though deliberately less sympathetic here.
The Joker/clown painting in Milo’s apartment marks him as the Joker, with Morbius as Batman, the two being friends at heart but enemies in fact. The black demon mask in front of the painting (especially in the context of all the other Satanic-tinged art and artifacts in Milo’s apartment) confirms the association between the Joker and the devil that is so nearly explicit in The Dark Knight.
Odds and Ends
Morbid version of the wounded healer mytheme, one probably inspired in part by the success of the Dr. Strange movies.
Note the first shot in the hospital features a toy Ferris wheel (spinning) and then a chessboard. Later, young Morbius will be sent to a “school for gifted children in New York.” Epstein anyone?
Leto refers to “plausible deniability” in a conversation with Martine. This is CIA lingo.
The importance of animal-human hybridity (Thomas).
Note the hypnotic, psychedelic, geometric designs over the end credits.
