Speaking of symbolism ...
There's a little know fact that I've never seen reported anywhere
(in this context anyway) which I believe relates to the symbolic and
ritual aspect of Hollywood movies and TV in general. This is something
well known to anyone who works as a Hollywood "extra performer"
but not to outsiders. Anyone who has done this sort of work for any
length of time can confirm this.
It has to do with the colors red, white and black.
Over and over extras are told to avoid the colors red, white and black
in anything brought to the set that might be used on camera. This
applies to "picture cars" (extra-owned cars to be photographed
in the movie) and/or any extra-provided wardrobe or props or pets,
etc -- anything brought to set that might be used in a scene on
camera. One hears this with virtually every job so that it becomes
a second-nature requirement: "Do not bring anything red, white or black."
Though Wardrobe and Prop departments do often provide these things
for extras for use in "period" films, they are often provided by the
extras themselves for movies shot in contemporary settings and extras
are usually given a "bump" (pay increase) to do so. But, certain guidelines
for each job are nearly always stated for what to bring and the red/white/
black ban is stated for virtually every job and applies to anything brought
for on-camera use: wardrobe, cars, props, etc.
The reasons given for this color ban are either vague or non-existent.
If one presses for a reason it's usually claimed that these colors are
distracting to the eye and extras are supposed to blend in with the
background. But, if that were true wouldn't bright colors like yellow
or orange be included in this ban? And, since when is a black car or
T-shirt in the background distracting to the eye?
This fact is something well known to extra performers (and also to Wardrobe,
Prop and Art Department persons) but not to the general public.
I suspect the real reason for the ban on these colors is that red, white
and black happen to be colors of special significance to satanists for use in
their rituals and are therefore reserved for special situations or persons.
Here is a quote taken from a web page on satanic symbology:
"The colors RED, WHITE, and BLACK date back not only to Ancient Egypt,
but to their origins in the Far East. Egypt was known as the "Black and Red
Land" and was the center of Alchemy. Alchemy is the transformation of the
human soul into the godhead. Through this transformation, we complete Our
Creator Satan's unfinished work. The colors red, white and black are of the
three major nadis of the human soul. The Ida is black, the Pingala is red,
and the Sushumna is white." www.666blacksun.com/Satanic_Symbols.html Note that when you watch movies or TV you will still see some instances of these
colors being worn by background extras. This is primarily because of two reasons:
1) some extras love to get away with doing things they are told not to do and
2) because many Wardrobe Dept staff know there is no good reason to avoid these
colors so some don't vigorously police it.
The point is that these colors are forbidden for use by the "peons" of the Hollywood
empire and they are also "coincidentally" satanic ritual colors. Perhaps the
Hollywood PTBs also believe that these colors have a power unto themselves which
they wish to reserve for special uses?
