10 Movies You Didn't Know Contained Illuminati Symbolism
6. It Was A Ritual Powered By Ledger's Death - The Imaginarium Of Doctor Parnassus
Heath Ledger's final performance drew particular attention from Illuminati-seeking conspiracy theorists - not only did The Imaginarium Of Doctor Parnassus feature a treasure trove of occult symbolism, it was also tainted by the untimely death of its star. Director Terry Gilliam is no stranger to the weird and esoteric and The Imaginarium Of Doctor Parnassus is no exception - from the scene which introduces Ledger's character hanging from a bridge relating the the Hanged Man in Tarot to the more obvious All-Seeing Eye mounted top centre on Parnassus's traveling stage, the film is replete with the symbols of the occult. Some people have even gone so far as to suggest that the film was written with prior knowledge of Ledger's suicide and that the entire process was part of an elaborate ritual - needless to say this stretches credulity for even the most conspiracy-minded person.
