In ancient Egyptian mythology, a dead person's soul would be weighed against the feather of truth in a ritual called a psychostasy. If their soul was lighter than the feather, it would ascend into the afterlife. Heavy souls were devoured by Maat, eater of the dead. Good films go to hard drive heaven while the recycle bin eats the rest.

Labyrinth (1986)
A fantasy by Jim Henson.
A girl who is forced to babysit her younger brother wishes for goblins to take him away and they do. She is then visited by the goblin king and regrets her decision. The goblin king sends her to his maze and gives her 13 hours to get to the center and rescue the baby.
This is a classic 80s movie and gets a green rating for Jim Henson's contributions. David Bowie also makes a cool villain, but that's not why I'm posting about it.
What I want to write about is the new world order programming aspects. The owl (Molloch) takes a baby (people used to sacrifice children to this deity) and gives the girl 13 hours (unlucky number for Templars) to rescue him. On the girl's quest, everything is topsy turvy and nothing is as it seems (see the naming of government organizations like ministry of peace being in charge of war, etc). During one scene, Mr. Bowie calls the goblin who might be helping the girl "Hegel". This is a direct reference to the Hegelian dialectic, or problem - reaction - solution. This is a technique used by the elite to force society to progress towards their goals by presenting a problem (like a false flag terror attack), the people say "what are you going to do about it?" (reaction), and introducing a solution which was their original plan in the first place. The poisoned fruit is anther good example to use. The power elite are waging a biological war on humanity under the flag of Monsanto, the leader in genetically modified foods. Their ideal plan is for everyone to stay "asleep" and out of the way of their plans like the girl fell asleep from eating the fruit. Ludo is a reference to the "tea party" movement or "conspiracy theorists". He is originally a terrifying monster, but once he is understood, he becomes a source of hope in a hopeless situation. Sir Didymus is a representation of all of the people in low positions of power who are "just doing their jobs". The lie is different on all levels, so he thought that he was noble and just by guarding the bridge, when in fact, he was following orders from higher up and not knowing why. in the end, the girl jumps out of the maze, even though it seems that she will fall to her death. She realized that the maze was constructed by the villain to fool her and by jumping from it, she took all of his power away.
I'm not writing this because of dislike for the film, I like this film. I'm writing it to show that the programming is everywhere. If you step back and keep the trees from blocking your view, you just might see a forest.
