If you haven't seen the horror movie, The Village, you haven't missed anything. And, I'm going to reveal the not-much-of-a-surprise ending. So, stop reading if that's a problem.
The movie is 100% white.
It's about a village that appears to exist in pre-electric America, roughly 1800, but the movie doesn't give a date. No one ever leaves the village because of monsters in the woods that surround the village.
A girl finally leaves the village and discovers 21st-century America. It turns out that the village is in a highly secure and private "wildlife refuge" and the monsters are fictional, made up by the village elders to prevent anyone from wanting to go into the woods and leave.
The elders wanted to create a sort of Amish-like utopia to escape crime and other problems with the world.
It became obvious to me that the reason for the all-white cast is to attempt to lead the viewer into thinking this was an isolated 1800s town. You know, before we became "a nation of immigrants." Whatever the reason for being white, I'll take it. That's pleasant into today's climate.

Maybe. That's certainly a legitimate take on it.
The film is by John Carpenter, the same guy who gave us the astonishingly un-PeeCee "They Live." I think that the film should be viewed in the light of Carpenter's larger body of work.
I thought that there was a more subtle message about Jewish-Gentile half breeds. That is, attempts to assimilate Jews and others are futile. They may look lilly white on the outside, but on the inside they're utterly alien. They automatically recognize their own kind, with whom they share some sort of psychic bond, while all we can see are their Nordic features. And they're loyal only to their own kind, even as they naturally despise us, and even though they look much more like us than the "alien" side of their family.
In the end the maternal instincts of one of the adoptive parents wins the day in the psychological battle for the mind of one of the half-breeds (interestingly, the one whose mate died in birth) and they take off together to continue the failed experiment in alien assimilation. I was left with a feeling of foreboding at this new attempt to assimilate the unassimilable, and felt no sympathy toward the mother who was trying to sneek alien genes into our gene pool by stealth.
I think that taken together, Carpenter seems to be saying that any attempt to assimilate the Jews is futile, since the only result will be the creation of a new parasitic group of hostile aliens who are more dangerous than the pure bloods precisely because they look like charicatures of ourselves. I think the film can be a warning against assuming Marranos are our friends.
That reading of it would seem more consistent with the in-your-face anti-Semitism of Carpenter's "They Live."

Walter, there's just one thing wrong with your analysis here. John Carpenter had nothing to do with THE VILLAGE. It was made by M Night Shmawhatsisface (SIXTH SENSE, SIGNS).
Interesting filmmaker, but I can never spell his last name.

Aggh! You got me!!
I was thinking of Carpenter's [URL=http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0783230427/qid=1103123537/sr=1-2/ref=sr_1_2/102-3859154-6420920?v=glance&s=dvd]Village of the Damned [/URL] - also about white children.
Mea culpa.
I haven't yet seen the film to which you refer. I'll probably pass on it on HH's recommendation. I liked the Sixth Sense a great deal, but the rest of Shamalyan's stuff leaves me cold.
Now that I've breached the subject, though, what do others think of Village of the Damned?

"Village of the Damned" is pretty good, but not excellent. I think M. Night Shymaylan's (sic) "Unbreakable" is one of the three best movies of the 1990s (along with "Braveheart" and "Fight Club").

I am surprised that more white nationalists haven't gratitated towards "The Village." In my mind, it couldn't be a better example of what Ygg has been promoting-- a pro-White, coded message about in-group and out-group ethics. In the Village, you have the town elders who have created this anachronistic village because they all have been victims of "urban" crime (and this is explicitly stated). Every single one of the villagers is White. The one bad apple in the moive is the retarded boy (bad blood) who turns out to be the murderer. The last line of the movie, since cut, was utterd by a black laborer overlooking the village, "[url="http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=m+night+shyamalan+%22crazy+*ing+white+people%22"]Crazy *ing white people[/url]." I don't think the movie could have been more obvious and still find distribution.
Of course, I felt that way about "Signs," too. Many men who watched Signs hated it, because they couldn't overcome the absurd plot holes. I think the absurd plot holes are the key to the movie. As you recall, "Signs" was about a widower and his brother who, along with the widower's small children, lived in a small community and experienced an alien invasion. The bulk of the movie showed this man and his brother, both young able-bodied men, in-effectively boarding up their farmhouse and retreating further and further into their house as the aliens incompetently threatened them.
The family finally defeats the threat with ease, using the most common of all Earth's elements-- water. That, and by giving the brother permission to use his God-given talents to "swing away" in full force at the alien threat. The implications are that repelling the alien horde who is feasting on our children is easy if we simply allow ourselves to "swing away" at them, using commonplace tools. Stop retreating, White man!
In my mind, M. Night Shyamalan's movies are beautiful allegories and explicitly pro-White Nationalist. If it weren't for the fact that he himself is not White, more folks would would be discussing this. I have hesitated to even post, because I think it is a good thing that these movies are running under the radar.

Good post, Amaara. I also enjoyed Signs.

There was a show similar to "The Village" in the Twilight Zone, only difference is that the Earth people were in another planet and the boogie man were aliens that once in a while killed someone in order to eat them.
Only the head man of the Earth people new about the aliens and the reason for this was the he himself was an alien, he keep the earth people withing a ten miles radius from the village, it was nothing more than a corral used for breading by the aliens.

I watched this film "The Village" some time ago with my girlfriend and we both enjoyed it even though it got extremely bad reviews. :thumbsup:
The US version of this film seems to have been cut.
At the end of the film apparently at least the version that I saw there is the beeping noise of a tracking device that the security guard has somehow placed on the girl. I think the point that they where trying to get across is that you can hide from the world as the world will cacth up with you.

On one occasion Aristotle was asked how much educated men were superior to those uneducated: 'As much,' said he, 'as the living are to the dead.'

At one time I would have agreed with Aristotle but after living for 65 years on this planet I have decided that education only brings you death and destruction.
If education produces nuclear weapons, missile, spy satellites, items to spy on people and so then I'd rather live in a village without computers and all the modern conviniences.
Happier is a Palestinian with a wife two kids a donkey and his olives trees than a Wall Street mogul fighting every day for money, that is to say if the Palestinians were allowed to live in peace.

I agree. The more technology gives us, the more we can "afford" to have our society corrupted. For example, increased productivity from technology is offset by taking away our freedom and forcing businesses to discriminate and hire less qualified people merely because of the group they belong to.

Education per se doesn't produce those things; they are all products of the Judaized 20th century. Israel is a country of 7 million the size of a postage stamp yet they have a spy/surveillance network that dwarfs those of nations 100 times their size and population.
Dunno about anybody else, but I'm pretty surprised to learn you're 65, Ponce.

Well il rana,,,,,,,,, If I don't sound like an old man is because have detached myself from the real world and only see the truth without the bull that they try to make us believe.
Only when you believe what they tell you do you become a "deep" thinker and an old man. I have learned to read between the lines and go to the meat of the matter, the same way that I write.
