The reason that "In the Mouth of Madness" strikes a cord with me... Take out the evil monsters and add in the vices of socialism and communism and you see the connection. If the protagonist is a 'secular man', he has no hope of fighting the changes or the vices or the new reality. You see the story of a secular man trying to deny what has become the new reality. You even see him try to find the one thing that could save him, using a black crayon. But without a well built and structured and true faith, it does him no good in the end. In the end, he simply does what it takes to become a part of the new reality. He does what the Godless must do in such situations.

The people, the liberals, around me remind me of the other actors. The woman, like my last, seeks to experiment in thought and loses herself. The character played by Charlton Heston, like so many others, is merely a pawn and is completely malleable. The only real good guy, who fights and loses, is Sutter Cane's agent. It almost seems to be truly about "liberalism". I honestly wonder if that wasn't the point. So many people wanting to believe in something that truly isn't real. And yet, by means of force and by breaking minds, they mean to make it true. Whether feminists (or feminist part deux if that was too much for your delicacy, a humor palate cleanser), socialists, communists (what information is still available online), islamists or here or here, multiculturalists, take your pick, or the others like greens (think wind power or electric vehicles, completely unsustainable, impossible, more expensive, less efficient (and less green as they term things) power sources, they all mean to force their way, and for the most part, they have succeeded. In spite of having all been proven wrong. I don't choose reality, I simply know it. I also know what is false and have the faith to reject it.

As a horror, the movie is okay. As a view of what has, is, and may happen? It is spot on. Now, where is my popcorn?
