Murder by Decree

Sherlock Holmes impersonates a Freemason

The Jack the Ripper character tries to blame the Jews for the murder of prostitutes as a sacrifice to their God...

Sherlock Holmes replies, "The writing had nothing to do with the Jews ... you did not remove that writing to protect the Jews against anti-Semitic rage... the Jews, or "Juwes", referred to, are from your own secret society..."

Murder by Decree is a 1979 mystery thriller film directed by Bob Clark. It features the Sherlock Holmes and Dr. John Watson characters created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, who are embroiled in the investigation surrounding the real-life 1888 Whitechapel murders committed by "Jack the Ripper". Christopher Plummer plays Holmes and James Mason plays Watson. Though it features a similar premise, it is somewhat different in tone and result to A Study in Terror. It is loosely based on The Ripper File by Elwyn Jones and John Lloyd.

The film's premise of the plot behind the murders is influenced by the book Jack the Ripper: The Final Solution (1976), by Stephen Knight, who presumed that the killings were part of a Masonic plot. The original script contained the names of the historical suspects, Sir William Gull and John Netley. In the actual film, they are represented by fictional analogues: Thomas Spivy (Gull) and William Slade (Netley). This plot device was later used in other Jack the Ripper-themed fiction, including the graphic novel From Hell.

Plot

After the Metropolitan Police fail to apprehend the serial killer Jack the Ripper, Sherlock Holmes is approached to investigate the recent murders of prostitutes that happened in the Whitechapel district of London. Helped by Dr. Watson and the medium Robert Lees, Holmes discovers that all the victims were companions of Annie Crook, a woman locked in a mental institution.

Things get complicated as members of the police hierarchy and also several politicians, all Freemasons, seem to be protecting one of their own. Furthermore, Inspector Foxborough, the policeman who is in charge of the case, is in fact the secret leader of the radicals, a political movement waiting for the British government to fall because of its incapability to solve the Whitechapel murders. Holmes must rely on his skills to find and confront the murderer.

A bit more on the word "Juwes"...

"Author Stephen Knight suggested that "Juwes" referred not to "Jews", but to Jubela, Jubelo and Jubelum, the three killers of Hiram Abiff, a semi-legendary figure in Freemasonry, and furthermore, that the message was written by the killer (or killers) as part of a Masonic plot."

Arthur Conan Doyle

In 1887, Arthur Conan Doyle was initiated as a Freemason at the Phoenix Lodge No.257 in Southsea. He resigned from the Lodge in 1889, returned to it in 1902, and resigned again in 1911. He was also interested in spiritualism."

The Phantom Tollbooth

The Phantom Tollbooth is a story for anyone seeking the truth about the nature of reality, and the world.
It looks like a children's story, but in an interview, not long before he died,
Norton Juster said he wrote the book with adults in mind.

Opening song from the film version:

Time is a gift, precious and rare
Take it and make it with all you can
Time is a gift given to you
Given to give you the world to see
Time is a gift given to you
Given to give you the time you need

No hope is too high Milo
No dream too big to dream
You can climb a cloud
To a sunshine beam

Penguins of Madagascar

Dave's back-story

DreamWorks Pictures' "Madagascar" franchise is an allegory packed with insights into the nature of reality and the human condition. The original "Madagascar" film was released in 2005. Two sequels were released in 2012 and 2014. In addition, DreamWorks Pictures released a spin-off in 2014, called "Penguins of Madagascar".

In "Penguins of Madagascar", the villain is Dave, a vengeful octopus who was once a star attraction in Manhattan's Central Park Zoo. Dave represents the fallen generational elite who rule the world. In the days of ancient Babylon and Egypt, rulers were viewed as literal incarnations of gods, They had superabundant glory, and adulation. Over time, the ruling elite's status has vastly diminished to a position where they control the world from the Darkness, using their long sprawling tentacles that spread throughout the entire globe, just like an octopus.

Penguins of Madagascar

The opening scene of Penguins of Madagascar quickly establishes that this film is about going against the status quo, and overcoming the drive to just follow herd instincts without considering more atrusitic options.

"Seriousloy, does anyone even know where we're marching to?"

"You know what? I reject nature!"

The NeverEnding Story (1984, Wolfgang Petersen)

The Southern Oracle

The following is from the book by Michael Ende that the The NeverEnding Story film is based on. This is the book version of Atreyu's meeting with the Southern Oracle:

The Voice of Silence

Uyulala (the Southern Oracle) sang:

"The Childlike Empress is sick,
And with her Fantastica will die.
The Nothing will swallow this place,
It will perish and so will I.

We shall vanish into the Nowhere and Never,
As though we had never been.
The Empress needs a new name
To make her well again."

Atreyu pleaded:

"Oh, tell me, Uyulala, oh, tell me who can give The Childlike Empress the name, which alone will let her live."

The voice replied:

"Listen and listen well
To the truth I have to tell.
Though your spirit may be blind
To the sense of what I say,
Print my words upon your mind
Before you go away.

Later you may dredge them up
From the depths of memory,
Raise them to the light of day
Exactly as they flow from me.
Everything depends on whether
You remember faithfully."

For a time he heard only a plaintive sound without words. Then suddenly the voice came from right next to him, as though someone were whispering into his ear:

"Who can give the Childlike Empress
The new name that will make her well?
Not you, not I, no elf, no djinn,
Can save us from the evil spell.
For we are figures in a book --
We do what we were invented for,
But we can fashion nothing new
And cannot change from what we are.

But there's a realm outside Fantastica,
The Outer World is its name,
The people who live there are rich indeed
And not at all the same.

Born of the Word, the children of man,
Or humans, as they're sometimes called,
Have had the gift of giving names
Ever since our worlds began,
In every age it's they who gave
The Childlike Empress life,
For wondrous new names have the power to save.

But now for many and many a day,
No human has visited Fantastica,
For they no longer know the way.
They have forgotten how real we are,
They don't believe in us anymore.
Oh, if only one child of man would come,
Oh, then at last the thing would be done.

If only one would hear our plea.
For them it is near, but for us too far,
Never can we go out to them,
For theirs is the world of reality.
But tell me, my hero, you so young,
Will you remember what I have sung?"

"Oh yes!" cried Atreyu in his bewilderment. He was determined to imprint every word on his memory, though he had forgotten what for. He merely had a feeling that it was very, very important. But the singsong voice and the effort of hearing and speaking in rhymes made him sleepy. He murmured:

"I will remember. I will remember every word.
But tell me, what shall I do with what I've heard?"
And the voice answered:

"That is for you alone to decide.
I've told you what was in my heart.
So this is when our ways divide,
When you and I must part."

Almost half asleep, Atreyu asked:

"But if you go away,
Where will you stay?"

Again he heard the sobbing in the voice, which receded more and more as it sang:

"The Nothing has come near,
The Oracle is dying.
No one again will hear
Uyulala laughing, sighing.
You are the last to hear
My voice among the columns,
Sounding far and near.

Perhaps you will accomplish
What no one else has done,
But to succeed, young hero,
Remember what I have sung."

And then, farther and farther in the distance, Atreyu heard the words:

"Oh, nothing can happen more than once,
But all things must happen one day.
Over hill and dale, over wood and stream,
My dying voice will blow away."

That was the last Atreyu heard.
