Where Is Gilgamesh?

This film is a multifaceted exploration, but for me, its core is a man's obsessive quest to understand the driving forces of human behavior. He seeks a profound meaning in a seemingly meaningless world, desperately searching in the wrong places for answers about himself, others, and the unseen powers that shape our reality.

Many have labeled it a film about "mind control," and it certainly delves into the idea of a manipulated populace, sleepwalking through life while a select few hold the reins of power. Yet, to reduce it to this oversimplifies its intricate tapestry of historical and mythical allusions.

Money appears inextricably linked to this control mechanism, both within the film and our world. The pervasive commercialization of everything, including our history and culture, reflects a society obsessed with material wealth.

A word of caution: this is not a film for casual viewers. It demands intense intellectual engagement. Steeped in symbolism and abstract thought, it communicates its social commentary through metaphor. A background in the occult, symbolism, numbers, and ancient Mesopotamian/Sumerian myth will undoubtedly deepen your appreciation for its profound meaning.

The film masterfully illustrates how humans are conditioned to perceive reality in a specific way for survival. Those seeking liberation must embark on a challenging journey of questioning and exploration, often with few definitive answers.

My thoughts are still racing after this viewing. I anticipate rewatching it soon to unravel more of its complexities and construct a more coherent analysis.
