Stanley Kubrick and The Saturn Death Cult

Is the greater body of Stanley Kubrick’s films an exposé of a hidden elite obsessed with dark Saturnian sexual rites, paedophilia and the planned ritualistic transmutation of mankind?

The author and filmmaker Jay Weidner has proposed that legendary film director Stanley Kubrick created his masterpiece 2001: A Space Odyssey as a visual and alchemical initiation into the ongoing transformation and evolutionary ascent of man to a so-called Star Child destiny.

Set against the backdrop of a space mission sent to the planet Jupiter to investigate a strange artificial monolith, 2001: A Space Odyssey is an almost surreal experience that incorporates thematic elements including human evolution, technology, artificial intelligence and extraterrestrial life.   According to Weidner, it is a bold attempt to envision the next evolutionary step for humanity as it reaches out beyond its own planet into the depths of space.
