C'mon, Kris, gimme a break! "American Beauty" is pure trash--nothing more
than Hollywood calculating the lowest common denominator and putting every
prurient fantasy into one film. But one thing it definitely is NOT, is a
Rosicrucian allegory. That analysis makes me think of Crowley's Qabbalistic
interpretation of  "Old Mother Hubbard." A writer can see any symbolism she
likes, but the symbols she sees say more about *her* than about the film, or
book, or painting she sees them in. You can see Masonry, or pornography, or
Nazi occultism, or the Innermost Secrets of the High Republican Brotherhood
in a movie...but that doesn't mean it's there. "Sometimes," as Sigmund Freud
observed, "a cigar is just a cigar."

DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER
==========
CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list. Proselytizing propagandic
screeds are unwelcomed. Substance—not soap-boxing—please!  These are
sordid matters and 'conspiracy theory'—with its many half-truths,
misdirections
and outright frauds—is used politically by different groups with major and
minor
effects spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought. That being said,
CTRL
gives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and always suggests to readers;
be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no credence to Holocaust denial and
nazi's need not apply.

Let us please be civil and as always, Caveat Lector.
