Pandora's Box (Georg Wilhelm Pabst, 1929) Louise Brooks

sub https://subdl.com/subtitle/sd1623251/pandoras-box

One theory is Pandora's Box is really her crotch.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pandora#P ... _.22box.22

She was molested by some 40+-year-old house painter that lured her to his house using a trail of candy, and when she told, her mother then blamed her for what happened (as though some backward Muslim culture is prone to do.)

Similarly, this actress was also molested by her father.

The 'Lulu' character evolved from 2 prior films (Lulu from 1917 and Erdgeist (1923) :

The 1929 'Pandora's Box' is vastly superior (it seemed like the mid 1920s onward was cinema at it's peak and held up much better with modern methods of production.)

Once Upon a Time in America:
The opium induced a flashback dream of the future, from the 1930s.

Sergio Leone had a 6-hour cut that has probably been lost to time, and the European theatrical (3hr 50min) release is the best-looking version, whereas the Extended cut introduces scenes from the likes of the actor for Nurse Ratchett (Louise Fletcher who died last year,) which probably needs many additional scenes to unmask the storyline omitted.

The majority of the film story is an idealized version, following after "Noodles" (Robert Dinero) sabotaged his friends and regrets doing so.

One of the videos is a 7+ hour interview with the Katherine Pollard Griggs, former wife of Marine Corps Colonel George Griggs.

She has that deranged Marshall Applewhite gaze, and I suspect her former husband was drinking for a number of reasons.

Featuring Vanessa Marquez, mostly known for Stand and Deliver, as well as an ER show nurse, was suffering from mental health issues and was shot by Police when they were doing a welfare check and needing to evaluate her for health (and seizure issues, real or not,) which might be a psychosomatic behavior as evidence by her using a prop gun in an attempt to resist arrest. A similar issue happened with Anthony Dwain Lee who used a prop gun at a Halloween party which was being checked out by Police who saw him aim it at them.

Sorcerer (1977) is a fairly impressive and overlooked movie (that was released around the same time as Star Wars, and in addition to the director having filmed Excorcist, is believed to have confused people about what it was about.)

This early 1990s video by Ken Roberts promotes commodities rather than stock trading (though either are volatile, and are just as prone to bubbles as any, such as gold an silver which people lose a lot on.) This video is labeled an MLM. . .

This is the guy today.

Quite a few search results come up with "scam guru" or something to that extent, and he seems to quack like a duck.

Strangely the main actor and the former wife (who divorced just as the Berlin wall was crumbling) would die within a year of each other from cancer, right as the movie came out. The wife was an actual Stasi spy.

Somehow looking for an obscure Norwegian film lead to the war movies, and something else:

In the preview, when they shout, "Do it! Do it!" I'm reminded of the incident where two teenagers interpreted subliminals in Judas Priest . . . Seems it's a drug-induced "outer space" movie.

The infrared special effects (signifying when she's high. . . or an "alien") would later be used in the movie Predator character POV.

The main character in the above plays one of the minor characters, which Paul Hogan comes to rescue.

So, apparently, the 2020 movie was based on a 2018 superbowl promotional trailer for Australian tourism?
