Videodrome	comment	Videodrome is a 1983 horror/sci-fi film directed by David Cronenberg, starring James Woods and Debbie Harry.It is a surreal movie, fully embodying Cronenberg's affinity for Body Horror, and like all of his movies, it also has a strong intellectual undercurrent. The film deals with Marshall McLuhan's philosophies and examines the relationship between television and its audience. Cronenberg was greatly influenced by McLuhan's theories.More specifically, the film follows the CEO of a small cable station who stumbles upon a pirate television signal that is broadcasting extremely violent and horrific things. He investigates. As you might expect from Cronenberg, things get worse...

Videodrome / int_117b3429	type	A Taste of the Lash
Videodrome / int_117b3429	comment	A Taste of the Lash: Another snuff film shown from the Videodrome signal has a woman with her hands tied above her as she's flogged repeatedly by two strangers in hoods. During the scene where Max wears a helmet to record his hallucinations, he ends up dreaming of Nicki who wants to play. Max finds himself in the Videodrome room, then obtains a whip and uses it on Nicki, who turns into Masha, who's trapped in a television set.

Videodrome / int_1282bf4f	type	No Celebrities Were Harmed
Videodrome / int_1282bf4f	comment	No Celebrities Were Harmed: Brian O'Blivion is a parody of Marshall McLuhan, whose ideas are the central theme of the movie. He only exists in video tapes, parodying McLuhan's famous proclamation: "I refuse to appear on television, except on television," a line O'Blivion quotes verbatim in his first appearance. CivicTV and its head producer Moses is an Expy of infamous Toronto TV station City TV (back when it was a single, innovative TV station filled with local programming, as opposed to the multi-station, corporately homogenized TV system it is today) and its co-founder Moses Znaimer. (Perhaps a sense of irony, as Znaimer was often cited as following in Marshall McLuhan's footsteps, at least when it came to using television as a communications tool).

Bianca successfully deprograms and reprograms him, with her using a mantra to reinforce his mission ("You are the video word made flesh." "I am the video word made flesh.") Harlan even invokes the "kill the assassin" trope by saying they were going to use Max until there's nothing left. He even kills himself in the same way a lot of assassins are convinced to at the end.

The potential remake of Videodrome addresses this issue by using the Internet and nano-technology as the means by which society is controlled. Television itself has also evolved beyond signal broadcasts since the rise of cable. Those adorable Betamax cassettes and VCRs really sweeten the deal, not to mention the Atari 2600 Max owns.

Everything up to the first Brian O'Blivion tape he watches can be assumed to be real as he's still only slightly affected by the signal. But when Bianca tells him that his life could become "100% video hallucination," suddenly it looks more and more likely that the bizarre plot twists (i.e., an evil conspiracy operating out of an opticians', his best friend being part of this conspiracy, murdering people with flesh/metal hybrid weaponry) is all part of a massive psychotic break triggered by the Videodrome signal.

Videodrome / int_977a6ec0	comment	Girl Friday: Max's main secretary at Channel 83, Bridey James, actually describes herself as his "Girl Friday" in the opening. Since Max is slovenly and easily distracted, she's constantly running errands for him, even recording daily wake-up tapes so he doesn't forget his schedule. She's about the only person who's actually concerned as Max's grip on reality starts to falter thanks to the Videodrome signal.

Videodrome / int_9f619ad6	comment	Corporate Warfare: It's hidden, but the entire plot was set in motion when Brian O'Blivion developed a technology for a Subliminal Seduction television signal. The MegaCorp owned by Barry Convex either made a deal with O'Blivion or tried to steal the tech. O'Blivion ended his research when he found out it was giving viewers tumors that not only gave them hallucinations, but made them extremely susceptible to suggestion, making them the perfect Manchurian Agent that could be given their instructions via subliminal broadcasts (usually videotapes). The MegaCorp murdered O'Blivion for the technology, which set off a secretive corporate warfare between Barry and Bianca, Brian's daughter.

Videodrome / int_a0ef8636	comment	Recorded Spliced Conversation: Professor Brian O'Blivion is a pop-culture analyst/philosopher who believes that television will eventually replace all aspects of everyday life. He frequently appears on talk shows to debate his philosophy, but only if he can telecommute by having his image broadcast into the studio on a TV next to the other participants. Protagonist Max goes to Professor O'Blivion's base of operations at the "Cathode Ray Mission" in order to interview him personally, but discovers that Professor O'Blivion was murdered and his daughter, Bianca O'Blivion, has been using an archive of thousands of her father's pre-recorded tapes to fake his continued appearances on television.
