Warning: Spoilers ahead – ‘Behind the Curtain’, unlike any other movie review show. Listen to Gareth and Alex as they dissect their favourite films in true Mind Set style. Asking the questions other shows are afraid to ask and revealing what’s hiding in plain sight. The Twelve Monkeys (1995) “Oh, wouldn't it be great if I was crazy? Then the world would be okay." Through ‘forced volunteering’ James Cole is sent back in time 1996 to collect evidence of the virus which all but wiped out humanity. On this mission he meets ‘The Army of the Twelve Monkeys’ and falls in love with a Psychiatrist who is convinced he’s ‘delusional’. It’s not easy being a time traveler. What happens to our sense of reality when we can ‘jump’ from one world to another? If time travel is possible are our minds capable of taking the journey and if they were, would we be considered mad by those around us? The Twelve Monkeys beautifully plays with the notion of madness and conforming to society norms. Given the choice would you prefer to be considered mad in world with love or sane in one without?

Asking the questions other shows are afraid to ask and revealing what’s hiding in plain sight. The Wicker Man (1973) “You’ll simply never understand the true nature of sacrifice…” Searching for a missing girl, Sgt. Howie is led to Summerisle. Isolated in the cold Scottish waters it is a place renowned for its fruit and harvest. A strong Christian and man of virtue the Sergeant has trouble dealing with the locals and their heathen ways. It not only the fruit that is different on Summerisle… This is a film that dares to question our established values and lifestyle. Hedonistic and intense at times yet peaceful and ‘civilised’ at others. ‘The Wicker Man’ is laced with symbolism and presents our ‘modern society’ with an alternative view of both life and death. Fearing the child is to be used as sacrifice, Pagan rituals and lust lead the Sergeant on a dance where the hunter becomes the hunted.

Asking the questions other shows are afraid to ask and revealing what’s hiding in plain sight. The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951) “I am fearful when I see people substituting fear for reason.” Some might say that ‘The Day the Earth Stood Still’ is a film about an Alien Invasion and in some ways they would be right. Yet this is a film with so much more. Beautifully directed, shot and with an alien that we can relate to. It leads us to reflect upon who we are and how we develop as a race, the Human Race. Working on many levels this film has stood the test of time since its 1951 release. Underneath the surface story of an Alien who has come to warn us lays a deeper message of Biblical proportions, laced with prophecy, ‘miracle events’ and even reincarnation. Are we being told to watch the skies for danger, to be responsible with our science or that the greatest danger is within us all? Whichever answer you prefer remember these words just in case… ”Gort! Klaatu barada nikto!”

One of the best action films you’re likely to see, whilst at same time dealing with the questions we all ask. Who are we, where are we going and why the hell is that Oracle woman always baking cookies? But is there more to The Matrix than meets the eye? Although its backdrop might be high tech, pulling us into its virtual world, The Matrix also tells an ancient story of Rebirth and ‘The One’. Laced with symbolism, conspiracy and double meanings we ask what ‘The Matrix’ is really trying to tell us? Are we free to choose our own path or is it sealed in Fate..?
