Salvation.

A new linguistics/movie review will discuss the coincidental symbols  of violence and a breakdown in  civility that appear in two movies.   The first movie is Monuments Men. In a particular scene, two characters stand up in well trained attention when prompted by their father depicting membership and association to a violent and destructive agenda.  The movie depicts the systematic portrayal of the destruction of civic treasures, property, artifacts and human life.   Do you know anyone experiencing this?  In a second movie, entitled Layer Cake, a character describes human glands standing at attention like  little soldiers when they are "called" upon in anticipation of a violent intention to break a covenant although arguably a covenant that is nothing more than puppy love.  Yet , the full heart is invested in breaking the covenant and the potentially violent consequence is evident at the end of this tale. This is certainly coincidence as symbolism in these two examples but symbolism communicates and impacts the audience profoundly. The symbolism is arguably fuhrer-esque on occasion in terms of impact on the community, encouraging anarchy or incivility. The cues given to the population are subtle but impartial where segments of the population take the cue as permission from Hollywood to kill, steal and destroy. After "Empire State" and "The Place Beyond The Pines", the frequency of bank robberies increased. This is a brief linguistic movie review and the footing of a new article; Londinium TVC Humanity Network.     By Warren Lyon.
