The Best Subliminal Messages Lurking Within 12 Of Our Favorite Films

By Brad Rosenberg

10. ROBOCOP

Cracked.com

With the plot revolving around a character who is half man, half machine, it is difficult to point the references from the Bible, but the events of the movie is a clear match. Alex Murphy, the hero of a corrupt city is killed, resurrected and then emerges as a robotic saviour. Later, director Paul Verhoeven confirmed that this biblical allegory was his idea of an American Jesus, but meant to be concealed from the audiences. He even inserted a scene where Murphy was made to walk on water!

11. THE LION KING

Complex

When Simba flops down on a cliff side, a cloud of dust is pushed into the air and three controversial letters appear – SEX. For years, filmmakers scrutinized that this message was meant to promote sexuality to children, though Disney special effects people claim that it was meant to be SFX.

12. THE SHINING

Yahoo

There are no mistakes in Stanley Kubrick’s movies, or at least that’s what his obsessives would have you believe. Take the case of ‘The Shining’ and the Overlook Hotel, a damn creepy place to stay even before you consider the building’s impossible floor-plan. Track Danny on his trike and you eventually realize his route round the corridors makes no sense. Follow Jack into Ullman’s office and you see a window where the should absolutely not be a window because it faces the inside of the building. If you trust that Kubrick knew every inch of his set – and history gives us no reason to believe otherwise – then he created the layout of the Overlook Hotel to purposely confuse and unsettle us. It worked.
