What was the meaning behind videodrome?

I feel like it was trying to say something about media but im too stupid to understand or it didn't express it clear enough to really pick up on it

It falls apart in its 3rd act to be honest when he became terminator, rest if pretty good.

but what does it mean

Its really making me think

it doesn't mean anything. it's just a film

It refers about channels showing garbage and people swallowing it.

Now it refers about Internet and Youtube/Facebook/Social Media content.

Watch the movie again with this in mind.

Its about technological evolution outstripping the human ability to adapt to it. Its a movie about the information age bearing down on us at the speed of light.

I was wondering if I was the only one who thought this or if I was just a pleb

how does it show this though.

I saw nothing indicating this, is the vagina meant to indicate it, i mean seriously

you're still a pleb for thinking this

It literally predicted the rise of internet/youtube culture centered around trash and deplorable content.

>Cast literally Blondie
>Makes her redhead

ok

Videodrome foreshadows how easy it is for anyone nowadays to gain access to sex, violence and disturbing imagery. I thought that was brilliant, and pretty much true. I remember when that Magnotta cannibalism video came out, all I had to do was take a quick trip to a gore website and there I was consuming that horrifying content.

Debby harry is a red head in real life and by this point in her career she stopped dying her hair

It was about the indoctrination of the populace through popular media.

It's about new media being garbage, as well as the new age of porn and sexuality being molded together and becoming addictive. People watching porn on tv and VHS tapes replacing direct sexual contact.
I still dont quite understand the meaning of him growing a vagina on his stomach that everyone loves shoving things into. Once heard it's a story of a man changing genders, embracing the new flesh, and while having paranoid delusions of persecution.

did you seriously not get it?

enlighten me then

you can read through all of this, if you are interested: deepfocusreview.com/reviews/videodrome.asp

But there is no destinct comprehension of the film, at least not one that could be expressed in words. Watch it again after reading a bit about it. But be advised that you will never be able to fully understand. You can feel it though. You can sense it. And soon you too will have a special name. A name designed to cause the cathode ray tube to resonate. Long live the new flesh!

It's an allegory mk-ultra mind control and media brainwashing as well as dark side of hollywood and show business.

The main character gets sucked into a world of violence and delusion the closet he gets to videodrome.When he reaches the core they take control of him.


The part where the girlfriend goes to videodrome and gets killed is a refrence to young actors trying to join the illuminati and ending up a sacrifice because they didn't know the they were getting into.The eye glass company is a refrence to the all-seeing eye.

The end where he kills himself is a refrence to how mk-ultra assassins kill themselves when a coded phrase is said to them.

Mulholland drive is also contains simular themes.

He's being penetrated by anything. Medias turned him into a brainless sponge.

Did you even watch the movie? Nikki was a hallucination from the start, she never existed.

James Woods is WOKE
