An In-Depth Look at the Hidden Meaning and Symbolism in “Blink Twice”

Warning: Moutnainous spoilers ahead!

Blink Twice begins with a “trigger warning,” stating that it is a “psychological thriller about the abuse of power” and that it contains “sexual violence.” While this message appears to be well-meaning, it also gives off a strange feeling that it promises “sexual violence” to the weirdos turned on by it.

This bivalence sums up the entire movie. While it appears to say one thing, it actually says the opposite.

To prove this fact, one only needs to look at the movie’s original name: Pussy Island. While the movie is believed to “expose” rich and powerful people abusing people in remote islands, the pornographic flavor of the original title turns it into a twisted, voyeuristic experience.

Inspired by the horrific stories of Epstein Island (although the media actively censors the rampant pedophilia that happened there), Blink Twice reframes, distorts, and, in a perverted way, glamorizes. The “sexual violence” scenes are padded with long minutes of “humor” which end up turning everything into a joke. Meanwhile, the underground sex ring of the elite is turned into a “feminist” narrative, where women killing a bunch of men solves everything. Of course, none of this reflects real life, where lots of women actively facilitate and even participate in the abuse.

Blink Twice does not expose or even comment on the elite drugging and raping sex slaves, including minors. Because, in the end, it is a Hollywood movie. Do you think Hollywood would do that to itself? As we’ll see, this movie’s “moral of the story” is not about overthrowing this system but perpetuating it – but with a pseudo-feminist angle.

Everything about Blink Twice is weird, disingenuous, and profoundly disconnected from reality. It is how Hollywood people would portray what Hollywood people do in places like Epstein Island. Appropriately enough, the movie is the directorial debut of Zoë Kravitz – the daughter of musician Lenny Kravitz and actress Lisa Bonet. She’s a product of Hollywood, and she’s been inside that system since birth.

Along with film writer E.T. Feigenbaum, Kravitz crafted a movie that turns the elite’s disgusting obsessions into “entertainment.” More importantly, the movie symbolically portrays the events as a “sacrifice” necessary for the protagonist to obtain what she truly desires.

While the movie’s story is relatively straightforward, semi-hidden references and symbolism add a layer of meaning—and they are rather disturbing. It is about trauma-based mind control.

Here’s a look at the major themes of the movie.

Premonitions

Blink Twice‘s protagonist is Frida, a struggling cocktail waitress attempting to launch a nail business. In the movie’s first scene, she watches a video of Slater King, a tech billionaire who was accused of “abuse of power” and “regrettable behavior.”

Major spoiler: Frida ends up on Slater’s island and gets abused. This book’s title hints at the movie’s moral of the story: It is not about denouncing evil and bringing it down; it is about taking Slater’s place.

Notice that the author’s last name is Maxwell. Is it a coincidence that she shares a last name with Ghislaine Maxwell – Jeffrey Epstein’s right-hand woman who coordinated his sex trafficking? The ultimate goal is to become her, not bring down the system.

This message is further cemented in the following scene as we see Frida working to the tune of B.B. King’s song Payin’ the Cost to be the Boss. This line sums up the movie: Frida sacrifices herself to become the head handler.

Before that happens, she has to go through a lot of trauma. In fact, she already did. She was abused on Slater’s island in the past but she has no recollection of it.

In the movie’s first act, Frida works as a waitress at a special event hosted by Slater King’s tech company. Everything at the event is occult elite madness, but none of this is obvious to the casual viewer.

First, everything is white, red, and black. As seen in previous articles, those colors have heavy ritualistic meanings. Later, we’ll see that these colors are used to tell an occult narrative.

Second, there’s a giant ominous door in the background. Its name? Gates of Hell by French sculptor Auguste Rodin.

Most of the sculptures seen throughout the movie are from Rodin’s Gates of Hell collection, which includes The Thinking Man, which stands next to it at the event. Do these sculptures subtly indicate that this occult elite gathering is a “gate to hell?” Is it implying that they’re Satanists?

After the event, Frida and her friend Jesse wear sexy dresses to get Slater’s attention. I’m not saying they’re golddiggers, but … yeah.

Frida is wearing a bright red dress. In occult rituals, it is the color of sacrifice. She will be abused by both of them later. However, according to the movie’s logic, she has to “pay the cost to be the boss.” Behind them is another Rodin sculpture from his Gates of Hell collection. Named The Three Shades, it represents three damned souls connected. Are the three characters in the foreground three damned souls as well?

After partying with Slater and his friends, Frida is invited to board his private jet and travel to his island. She immediately agrees because the dude is rich.

At first, the girls are more than happy to be there as they are offered unlimited food, drinks, and drugs.

After some partying, Frida notices some clues indicating that something wrong is happening: The girls are getting abused at night. However, they do not recall it in the morning because their memory gets erased. So they wake up happy and refreshed (albeit hungover), as if nothing happened.

Some might ask: Wouldn’t they feel sore in some places even if their memories were erased? The answer is yes, but let’s not poke through plot holes because we’ll be here all day. In any case, this movie is not about an airtight plot but about messages through symbolism.

Color Codes

Throughout the movie, the color red is associated with trauma, sacrifice, mind control, and memory loss.

As observed in numerous past articles, the occult elite loves “art” that celebrates their sick obsessions. They yearn for their evil deeds to be out in the open.

As seen in previous articles, the White Rabbit symbol is significant in mind control. Inspired by Alice in Wonderland, victims are told to follow the White Rabbit towards the looking glass—a symbol of dissociation. The white rabbit is red in the movie because that color is associated with memory loss.

While red is associated with the erasure of memories, yellow represents the opposite: Making and recovering memories. This concept is subtly peppered throughout the movie.

The dualistic back and forth between the colors red and yellow mirrors the mind control slave’s back and forth between trauma and dissociation. And those who go through this often end up perpetuating it.

The Cycle of Trauma

As seen in previous articles, MK handlers are often mind-control victims themselves. As the movie progresses, we learn that Slater is a victim of trauma and memory loss himself. While discussing with Frida about the uselessness of therapy, he says:

– But I agree with you on the whole talk therapy thing. That’s not really what I’m into. Rich is more of s trauma therapist. You know, he specializes in memory loss.

– What can’t you remember?

– Pretty much anything before 10. So I imagine it was probably pretty bad.

– Why would you want to remember? I’d pay to forget.

– Maybe you’re right. Maybe forgetting is a gift.

We later learn that Slater was abused as a child by his tennis instructor causing him to repress memories. Now he’s doing it to other people.

Slater went from victim to abuser. Frida will go on the same path. And the movie will frame this as a “happy ending.”

After consuming viper venom, Frida and the other women realized what happened to them and engaged in a bloody revolt. Opposing women versus straight white men, the movie frames it as a “feminist” thing. But that’s typical Hollywood hypocrisy. This is not about women banding together but about Frida “paying the cost to be the boss.”

Notice how the characters are positioned in the scene above.

In the movie’s final scene, we’re at another King-Tech event, as if nothing changed. However, there’s one massive change.

Frida has turned into the MK handler, using the memory-erasing perfume to control Slater. In this scene, she is also wearing black. In occult rituals, black is always the final color—it represents the complete transformation of the initiate into the “dark side.”

In the end, nothing has changed, and the system remains intact. The only difference is that the slave has become the handler.

In Conclusion

Frida did not expose the elite’s wrongdoings nor denounce them to the world. Instead, she used their tools to gain power, wealth, and influence. This is the true message of Blink Twice: Good did not prevail. Evil did. And people will root for it because “diversity” is doing it now.

In the end, Blink Twice is pure Hollywood hypocrisy. Instead of exposing evil, it normalizes it, turns it into entertainment, and causes viewers to root for its perpetuation. What else do you expect from people who titled a movie inspired by Epstein’s pedophilic hellhole the sexy name of Pussy Island?
