couldn't help but notice the "resist" signs in the clown mob. "resist" is one of the democratic party slogans. so leftists are appealing to peoples sense of outrage at the callousness and corruption of the rich. the irony is the lefts heroes are the ones who have created the outrage that they are trying to tap into. I don't think its organic that the "alt right" has adopted clowns and clown world as one of their symbols. remember that whole kerfluffle years ago about how scary clowns are? all the reports of creepy clowns just standing in the woods, watching. predictive programming. like Shakespeare said, "all the world is a stage". he didn't know how prescient that was. are you guys enjoying the show?

i'm not.

You said you'd studied mythology, eh?

Ledger was in another movie called The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus

You know the story of Arachne and Athene, right?

The Hanged Man

Arcahne was taught a lesson. So too was Ledger.
He didn't seem to mind though (Pheonix).

Enter Joaquin Pheonix.

I'm saying Ledger read his script and played his part up until he stopped wanting to. He knew he had to leave something behind to gain something (now you should be remembering studying Odin). So, he did...

I don't think my mind works like that. I was a boy when I read those stories so they aren't really fresh. Arachne was a Weaver that pissed off Athena somehow, pride maybe?And was made into a spider. Odin was the god of hanging originally? .....and gave up his eye for either eternal life or omniscience, or omnipotence. Can't remember. I think he is associated with crows because they hung around gibbets knowing they'd get a meal. All this is fuzzy. And something about the phrase "the hanged man" is associated in my mind with black holes. I'm going to look this up. Because I'm just not making a connection to the mythical Phoenix that was reborn from the ashes of its own immolation.

I'm saying Ledger agreed to die so that he could be "reborn".
He is now remembered as being a wonderful actor, playing the character of the ''Joker'' (hint hint). The next person to present the character's last name is literally Pheonix.

Hanged man is a tarot card.

In the movie, Ledger's character was hung as punishment (Arachne), just like he was murdered as a punishment.

Like Odin, he died to attain something more valuable (Odin gave his eye for knowledge), to be reborn under more preferable conditions.

There are only so many stories.

I see thematic similarities, but you seem pretty sure. Either you have more information than the average person or you are making connections that aren't there. Insiders usually don't reveal what they know,
