Roman Polanski’s “Rosemary’s Baby” and the Dark Side of Hollywood By VC | February 26th, 2011 | Category: Featured Posts, Movies and TV | 166 comments The 1968 movie “Rosemary’s Baby” is one of Roman Polanski’s most chilling and acclaimed productions. The film describes the manipulation of a young woman by a high-society occult coven for ritualistic purposes. The movie’s unsettling quality does not rely on blood and gore but on its realistic premise, which forces the viewers to ponder on the likelihood of the existence of elite secret societies. Even more unsettling are the eerie real life events that surrounded the movie involving ritualistic killings and MK Ultra. We will look at the symbolic meaning of “Rosemary’s Baby” and the stranger-than-fiction events that followed its release.
Although articles on the Vigilant Citizen usually pertain to new releases, a look at the past is often necessary to better understand the present. The state of today’s Illuminati pop culture is not a spontaneous trend that sprung out of nowhere. Rather, it is the result of years of occult influence on the entertainment industry and the gradual conditioning of the masses to certain messages and symbols. Although pop culture has always been tainted by the elite’s agenda to shape and mold young minds, it is during the 60s and the 70s that MK-Ultra stooges and dark secret societies became visible parts of the mix. The need to quell the anti-war and anti-establishment movements of the 60′s forced the elite to infiltrate and disrupt the culture. A series of destabilizing events occurred to shock idealistic minds and heroes became enemies. The “Peace and Love” of the 60s became Charles Manson and '___' in the 70s
Roman Polanski’s Rosemary’s Baby and its story about the manipulation of a young woman by an elite witch coven to carry and give birth to the Anti-Christ captured the mindset of this era and became symbolic of the irreversible shift that happened in the late 60s. However, it is the real life events surrounding the movie that truly defined this era: Less than a year after the release of Rosemary’s Baby, Roman Polanski’s pregnant wife was ritualistically murdered by members of the Charles Manson family. This horrific event brought a brutal end to the “good vibrations” of the 60s and is viewed by many historians as pivotal moment in American history. We will look at the symbolic meaning of Rosemary’s Baby and analyze the strange events surrounding it, which involve occult secret societies, mind control and ritualistic murders.
Roman’s Polanski’s 1968 movie is a faithful adaption of Ira Levin’s best-selling novel that appeared only a year before. Although it contains no blood or gore, Rosemary’s Baby is considered to be one of the scariest movies of all time. Why? The creepy nature of the film is not in its special effects, but in its realistic premise. The story takes place in a real apartment building (the Dakota) that has a real reputation of attracting eccentric elements of New York’s high society. The evil coven is not composed of stereotypical, pointy-nose witches but of friendly neighbors, prestigious doctors and distinguished individuals. They are elegant, rational and intelligent and are connected to important people. The realism of the movie forces the viewers to ponder on the existence of such groups, to a point that some feared that the movie, after its release would cause an all-out witch hunt. Rosemary’s manipulation is also extremely realistic, causing the viewers to think: “It could happen to me”.

I see more to it than that, it's like they say, "a real magical world in Hollywood" and they are talking in terms of real magic of the occult kind. There is a dark side to what goes on behind the scenes that most people don't even realize exist. It's just brushed off like in the way you just explained it, but little does people know and understand the significance of where the inspiration and ideas materialize from. Yes it's from the mind, but how did it get there in the first place. Where did the notion come from to strike up the imagination to put these forms up on the big screen? They come to be realized from in the shadows of the dark side that exist in Hollywood and from far beyond that.
The entertainment world is like any other business in America. Money and power corrupt. Those with the power to hand out high-paying roles and make or break an actors career sadly may wield that influence to put the hopeful actor into compromising positions. Artistic types - whether writer, actor, musician, artist - are often 'flakes', very sensitive, and more prone to trying things on the fringe culture of life. This behavior is not societies norm and is looked down upon by many. Recreational drug use, alcohol abuse or sex beyond the missionary position does not make one a satanist. I do think that major films have an incredible impact on American audiences. Far too many people seem to take their cues from behavior, dialogue and styles they see in movies or on television.

That part about recreational drug use, alcohol, and sex is where you failed to be truthful about that by watering it down to make it sound as though these are just everyday things not to be worried about or considered to be serious break downs in society.
You live in a box, you don't like looking out of the box. You just contradicted yourself by admitting to...

You miss the most important aspect and usefulness of the media when it comes to corrupt people with evil intentions. The most useful to the rich and powerful are those in the media world, everything from news reporters, actors and actresses, directors, producers, and on and on, and lets not forget, politicians.
