The Deeper Message and Symbolism in the Movie “Weapons”

Warning: Immeasurable spoilers ahead!

The Academy loves to give Oscars to movies that cater to the elite’s obsessions. For instance, Emma Stone won the Oscar for Best Actress for her role in Poor Things, a deeply unsettling movie that involves a form of pedophilia and other degenerate things.

This year, the winner of the Best Actress category went to Amy Madigan for her role in Weapons. Indeed, the Academy loved watching her play an evil witch who uses witchcraft to abduct children … to extract something from them. It’s like a baseball player watching a movie about baseball. They relate to that stuff.

But there is more to this movie than a weird old lady doing witchcraft. It is a metaphor for the occult elite’s control over society. And, in a relatively veiled manner, the movie depicts the “farming” of children and their exploitation for youth-preserving purposes. Indeed, although not spelled out in the movie, the witch’s core motivation revolves around the extraction of blood (or maybe adrenochrome) from children to be extracted in her old, decrepit body. Hollywood loves this theme. The movie The Substance is also based on this concept. And it also won Oscars.

In other words, the elite loves to expose its nefarious activities through “entertainment.” And then, it loves to give trophies to this “entertainment.” Did Weapons truly deserve its recognition? That is rather subjective. However, when one understands the concepts and the symbolism in the movie, one realizes that it is actually a celebration of the elite’s most disgusting activities.

Here’s a look at the movie.

Witches

The movie begins with a narrator (voiced by a young girl) describing the situation.

“This is a true story. It happened right here in my town two years ago. A lot of people die in a lot of really weird ways in this story. but you’re not gonna find it in the news or anywhere like that because the police and the top people in this town were like so embarrassed that they weren’t able to solve it that they covered everything up.”

After this introduction that hints at a massive conspiracy, we are presented with the core problem.

This typical American suburb discovers in horror that 17 children are missing and, bizarrely enough, they’re all in the same class. Quickly enough, the parents point their fingers at the one thing all of these kids have in common: their teacher, Justine.

Justine does have some things going against her. She’s a heavy drinker, she seduced a man in a relationship, and she was fired from another school for “inappropriate behavior” (hugging children). Also, in an effort to elucidate the mystery, she’s been following that one kid in her class who isn’t missing.

However, we soon discover that there’s something way darker happening in this town than an odd teacher. Indeed, as Justine and Archer (the father of a missing boy) investigate the situation, they have frightening visions of the true culprit.

The fact that, despite not yet knowing her, the protagonists have visions of the villain is telling: we are not dealing with merely an old lady; it is a powerful, omnipresent force. The lady is merely a vessel for it. Although none of this is explicitly stated in the movie, several clues hint at it.

Ancient Evil

Gladys is Alex’s aunt, the one boy in the classroom who did not disappear. As his mother says, she is staying at his house because:

“She’s been very sick since a very long time.”

The “sickness” is not physical, but spiritual. And the “very long time” is not months but centuries.

When the school principal requests to see Alex’s parents, Gladys shows up instead (she turned his parents into mind-controlled zombies). During that meeting, Gladys says an odd sentence that hints at her true nature.

The term “consumption” was mainly used in the 18th and 19th centuries to refer to tuberculosis, and it is no longer used. The fact that she uses this odd, completely outdated word hints that she is not a normal human. Rather, she’s a vessel for an ancient supernatural force.

The disease was called “consumption” because it caused patients to waste away, appearing to “consume” their bodies from within. In other words, it acts like a parasite that consumes its host, not unlike a supernatural parasite controlling Glady’s body. Appropriately enough, there are numerous subtle references to parasites in the movie.

As the principal is watching this documentary, Gladys rings his doorbell and asks to come in. Then, she gets into intense witchcrafting.

On the bell is engraved an enigmatic symbol: An inverted triangle with the number 6. While the symbol’s meaning is never explicitly explained in the movie, it can be inferred rather easily. Triangles have three sides. Combined with the number 6, you get 666 – the number of the Beast. In other words, Gladys is inhabited by a Satanic force.

The concept of black goo has been mentioned numerous times on this site because the media loves to refer to it. Every time, it points to the same idea.

The Black Goo is a mysterious and evil entity that causes victims to become sick, drives them mad or corrupts them into performing every manner of criminal activities – often it is said to emit the smell of sulphur and moves of its own accord – the entity is said to actively take interest in the corruption of those around itself and is linked to a demonic conspiracy.

While Gladys can use her witchcraft to control adults, she is way more interested in children. Like the occult elite.

Preying on Children

While she has the power of controlling pretty much anyone, Gladys is mainly interested in children. Once scene hints at the dark occult concept behind her endeavors.

Alex then asks:

– How will that make you better?

– It might just be what I need.

Although not spelled out in the movie, Gladys needs to extract something from the children to regain some youthful vigor. This is exactly what the occult elite has been doing for centuries (read my article about Elizabeth Bathory).

Once all the objects are collected, she mind-controls the children to run towards her.

As the children run, we hear George Harrison’s song “Beware of Darkness”. More specifically, we hear its fourth verse, which warns of “greedy leaders” who want to take you “where you should not go”:

Watch out now
Take care, beware of greedy leaders
They’ll take you where you should not go
While weeping Atlas Cedars
They just want to grow, grow and grow
Beware of darkness (beware of darkness)

Through this very intentional song choice, the scene becomes less about an old lady and more about a dark force preying on children.

Another symbolic detail is the recurrence of the number 217 throughout the movie. For instance, the children all wake up at exactly 2:17 am to start running. Interestingly enough, the movie revolves around 2 main protagonists who are looking for exactly 17 children (2:17).

What does this have to do with the movie, especially considering the fact that there are no guns in the movie? One theory is that this scene might be a political reference to a 2022 vote regarding the ban of assault weapons.

In any case, the net result is that Gladys is storing a bunch of kids in her basement.

Spoiler time: The evil old witch eventually gets defeated. Was it through the power of God and everything that is good and righteous? No. This is a Hollywood movie. And, in this movie, the only way to defeat witchcraft is with … more witchcraft.

Although the witch is dead, her victims are not magically cured. Indeed, the demon that inhabited Gladys lives on, even if its vessel is destroyed.

In short, the ending is more bitter than sweet. While the witch is dead, her impact lives on. Because this movie is not about an old lady, it is about the timeless occult forces behind her.

In Conclusion

While, at face value, Weapons is about an old witch doing spells, the movie is about more than that. It is about the occult elite turning the masses into “weapons” by tapping into dark forces they don’t understand or even know exist. In the same way Gladys terrorized a small town and turned people against each other, the elite manipulates the masses with fear and confusion.

Most of the messages and symbols mentioned above can easily be overlooked by the casual viewer, because, in true occult elite fashion, it is all about hiding things in plain sight.

In the movie, Gladys rings a shiny gold bell dedicated to Satan and turns children into her adrenochrome farm. This is what the elite does in real life. And this is why the actress playing Gladys won a shiny gold trophy.
