There are many theories out there about everything. Why Trump is our President (and how it is all a scam), why Clinton lost, why Bernie is out, why global warming is occurring. Pretty much any topic you can think of, has a conspiracy theory to go right beside it. The ones I like to think about are movie conspiracies.
Here is some of my favorites that will either give you a heart attack or open your eyes.
- Aladdin.
We have all seen the mysterious flying carpet take Aladdin across Egypt, but what we don’t catch onto is that there are hidden clues of a different story within the film. First off, Genie talks about Aladdin’s clothing being so third century, but he has *apparently* been locked into that lamp for 10,000 years, which would prohibit him from being able to know what they wore in the third century. The theory continues that instead of being set way back when, Aladdin is actually set in post-apocalyptic times where there are flying carpets, talking parrots, and higher intelligence. But that isn’t the fun theory. At the beginning of the film, we all see the vendor with the sleezy aura, right? Well, what of the entire story Aladdin was made up by him in order to sell this worthless lamp to some buyer with an ear toward stories. Interesting, huh?
- 007
Ahh, the great James Bond. Who doesn’t enjoy these intense, and to be frank, bad-ass films of saving the world. I know that I do. But, throughout the years, there have been six different actors to play the infamous James Bond, but there is no on screen explanation for the switches. So, here is the theory. What if, like the code 07, James Bond is also a code name and when one dies, the name and number are re-assigned to a hand-picked successor that become the new James Bond. But it isn’t only the name and number, but the memories too. Wouldn’t that be interesting?
- Fight Club
I know, I know. We don’t talk about fight club. But ya know what, I have a theory about this club. What if the main character, whose name we are never given, and his “partner” are really related to the Calvin and Hobbes storyline. Think about it, seriously. Calvin would be the main guy, Hobbes would be Tyler (played by Brad Pitt). Their relationship is similar because both pairs are extremely close to each other. Except, the unnamed dude would have just developed this ego from the well-known Calvin and Hobbes cartoons that were always printed in the paper and on the back of bubble gum wrappers.
- Willy Wonka
Don’t we all love the classic Willy Wonka? The new one too, of course. But nothing beats the classics. Well, we all believe these children are being taken on a special tour, but one by one they start to disappear, no matter which film you watch. Everyone believes that they are going back into the world after being picked off, but what if, instead, they become the secret ingredient: spoiled children. I think it is easy to see that everyone, except Charlie who is the recipient of the factory, is spoiled. What if Wonka is using spoiled children to flavor his candies. Now wouldn’t that be strange.
- Back To The Future
Most everyone has seen the infamous Back To The Future, but not many have heard this new theory. What if Doc was suicidal? I mean, he admitted it himself, most all of his inventions have failed, his only friend is a teenage kid, and he wanted the time travel to be a success, but what if it had failed? Think about it, Doc let the car nearly run him over and he intentionally pulled Marty in front of it too. If the time travel would’ve failed, they would have both been killed, just like he would’ve wanted.
- The Titanic: Theory One
So, there are so many theories surrounding the titanic, but one that I find interesting is this: Jack is a time traveler. Now, this may seem stupid, but think about it. He stops rose from jumping off the edge of the boat and committing suicide. But why? No, not because he loved her, but because if she had jumped, they would’ve had to stop the ship hence stopping their crash into the iceberg. So, he was sent back in time to stop Rose so that the ship could crash. He was also mysteriously okay with his “death”, right?
- The Titanic: Theory Two
Okay, this is my favorite. So, what if Jack didn’t actually drown. What if he survived and had a priceless gem with him. He cashed it in and invested it smartly, hence gaining millions in the process. Meanwhile, he becomes Mr. Gatsby from the Great Gatsby and the mystery begins again. Wouldn’t that be cool? I think so.
