"Under the Silver Lake" movie industry's "4th David" candidate! ? A conspiratorial LA drawn by a genius director with a unique flair

conspiracies, cults and hidden Arrival

Sam becomes increasingly obsessed with the idea that there is a conspiracy going on in the city when it is reported that a major producer has been found burnt to death along with three women in his car. Even in the real world, when a politician, star, or other famous person dies untimely, conspiracy theory-like rumors often emerge. For example, there is a pattern in which accidental deaths and suicides are fake, and the truth is that they were erased by some larger force. Alternatively, there is a pattern in which the person who died was a double, and the person himself was living a different life in a faraway place without anyone knowing.

Perhaps the most famous example of how the death of an individual spawned many conspiracy theories was the assassination of President Kennedy in 1963. Oswald, who was thought to be the sole perpetrator, was killed two days after his arrest, leading to theories that the assassination was orchestrated by the Mafia, or that opposing forces within the government had government agencies such as the FBI or CIA carry it out. Initially, various conspiracy theories were talked about. `` JFK '' (1991), directed by Oliver Stone, is a film based on the original conspiracy theory advocated in a book by District Attorney Jim Garrison.

In connection with Kennedy, there has been a theory that Marilyn Monroe, with whom he had an affair while he was president, died in 1962 at the age of 36, not as a suicide by taking too many sleeping pills, but as a murder by someone. In ``Under the Silver Lake'', `` How to Marry a Millionaire'' (53), starring Monroe, is cited as one of Sarah's favorite movies, and the scene where Sarah swims in the pool is a reference to Monroe's late work ``How to Marry a Millionaire '' (53). It is an homage to ``My Wife Was Alive'' (62). The story is about a heroine who was thought to have died in a plane crash at sea, but actually survived on an isolated island. The film was never completed because Monroe was forced to leave due to poor health, but a 37-minute edited version was first shown in a documentary that aired in 2001.

There is a tragedy that comes to mind with the connection between the death of a star and a cult group. In 1969, actress Sharon Tate, wife of director Roman Polanski, was brutally murdered in her Los Angeles home along with three of her friends. The perpetrators were three members of the Manson Family, a group led by cult leader Charles Manson. Manson himself was convicted of conspiracy and murder, and the fact that he said he was inspired to commit murder by the Beatles ' hard rock song ``Helter Skelter'' caused a huge stir. Quentin Tarantino's film ``Once Upon a Time in Hollywood'', which depicts the Hollywood film industry against the backdrop of the Sharon Tate murder case, is currently being filmed and is scheduled to be released in the UK and US in July 2019. It has become.

The Beatles, who were extremely popular in the 1960s, have several stories that resemble urban legends, and the most famous one is probably the rumor that Paul died. Rumors spread from 1967 to 1969 that Paul McCartney, one of the main vocalists and bassist, had actually died in 1966, and that a different person with a similar appearance had been playing Paul ever since. Fans have cited countless clues, but one of the most well-known examples is that if you play "Revolution 9," a song from the White Album like "Helter Skelter," in reverse, you can hear a voice calling out to the dead. There is. The scene in Under the Under the Silver Lake in which Sam spins the Jesus and the Brides of Dracula record backwards in search of a hidden Arrival is probably based on this famous story.
