Warning: Gargantuan spoilers ahead!
Remember when sports movies ended with a crowd cheering and the hero celebrating the result of his hard work and dedication? Well, HIM is about the exact opposite. It is about an athlete’s slow and agonizing descent into the dark world of the occult elite. And he’s taking all of the us with him.
HIM is yet another Jordan Peele movie that taps directly into the elite’s darkest tendencies. While Get Out was all about mind control and dissociation, HIM is an orgy of rituals and occult symbolism. And actual orgies. And adrenochrome-type procedures.
It’s all there. And there’s nothing much else there. There is no character arc, inspiring narrative, or great plot twist – only semi-possessed people who play their role in a puppet show.
That’s because the movie’s true focus is not its story or characters but the imagery surrounding them. Nearly every scene is peppered with symbols and references that point to specific occult concepts and secret societies.
All of this can be seen right on the movie’s promotional posters.
In this poster, the movie’s protagonist poses as Jesus crucified while standing on a pentagram. As we’ll see, the movie constantly juxtaposes Christianity with occult rituals.
Notice the tagline: Greatness demands sacrifice. This is to be taken literally.
This poster clearly tells us that HIM is about the mixing of football with Satanism. Relevant fact: there’s a severed human head inside that horned helmet.
Blood runs down one of Zay’s eyes, creating an obvious one-eye sign.
The movie’s title is symbolic in itself. In the Bible, Him is often used to refer to God or Jesus Christ, depending on the context. However, in the movie’s context, it refers to the next big superstar, who is appropriately dubbed the GOAT. While it is supposed to be an acronym meaning “Greatest of All Time,” there are enough goats throughout the movie to heavily remind us that GOAT is a nod to Satan as well.
Here’s a look at this highly symbolic movie.
Before the movie even begins, we are warned that we are about to witness nothing less than programming.
The production company trailer features a spoon tapping a cup. In the movie Get Out, this hypnotic pattern caused slaves to dissociate into the “sunken place.” We’re definitely entering deranged elite territory.
The movie begins with the protagonist, Cam, watching a football game with his father as a child.
The game opposes the San Antonio Saviors versus the Atlanta Masons. We’re already deep in occult references.
The name “Saviors” definitely has a clear Christian connotation, while “Masons” refers to the Freemasons, an occult secret society. As we’ll see, the movie contains enough blatant references to Freemasonry to confirm that none of this is a stretch.
Cam’s household has an altar that bizarrely mixes his family’s devotion to football and Christianity.
Cam and his father particularly “worship” one player: Isiah White, aka Zay.
After suffering a horrific injury, Zay went to “rehab”. He came back and won 8 championships. As we’ll see, “rehab” means “Satanic programming.”
While watching TV, Cam’s father says:
“See Cam? That’s what real men do. They make sacrifices. Not guts, no glory.”
We’ll later understand that the word “guts” is quite literal.
When the movie jumps to adult Cam, we learn that his father died. This picture alludes to the fact that his death was a sacrifice. The trauma of Cam’s father’s death will be used to program him.
At this point, Cam is expected to be drafted first. However, something terrible happens.
A goat-headed assailant hits Cam over the head. This was not a random act of violence.
Staples hold together Cam’s head injury.
Throughout the movie, we see heavy emphasis on those staples, indicating that Cam’s “training” is not merely physical. It is mostly in his head.
Cam’s phone shows an address: 1717 Masonic Ave. Things are about to get very Masonic indeed.
Following his injury, Cam is invited to train with Isiah White at his compound.
As Cam arrives at Zay’s place, he encounters diehard fans camping in a cultlike fashion. A sign says the word “Deity,” stylized with a cross. The ultimate goal of occultism is to turn humans into living gods, and this is precisely what Cam is about to do.
Once there, we quickly realize that Cam is not there to train, he’s there to be programmed.
Inside the compound, Cam encounters a bizarre painting involving football players in ritualistic garb, posing on a Masonic checkerboard pattern floor.
Zay’s championship rings are encased in a pyramid, symbolically representing his “greatness” being owed to the occult elite.
When Cam finally plays some actual football, things take a weird turn.
When Cam enters the field, Zay tells him, “Welcome to church.”
The training sessions are less about football and more about filling Cam with evil. After being taunted and manipulated about his father’s death, Cam is asked:
– What are you willing to sacrifice?
– Everything!
Right after, Cam headbutts a player so hard that he kills him.
After the fatal hit, the players gather around the dead guy and start chanting “All the Saviors say Amen!” Blood sacrifice.
As part of his programming, Cam is also subjected to a staple in occult elite initiations: Sexual humiliation and submission.
Cam is ordered to take off his drawers in front of a bunch of people. When he questions the necessity of this procedure, he’s asked if he has a “baby d*ck”.
After being thoroughly observed while naked, Zay slaps Cam’s butt. Then, Cam cannot find his underwear because someone hid them.
Zay’s weird wife (who turns out to be a handler) offers Cam a sex toy. Then, she tells him to put it up his butthole.
The message: To make it in the elite’s industry, things have to go up your butt. There is no other way.
After sexual submission, Cam has to go through media training. Of course, it is all very symbolic.
As reporters ask Cam questions, a horned beast suffocates him. This sums up mass media rather accurately.
Cam’s media training also involves him participating in Illuminati photoshoots. Here, he reenacts the Last Supper where he replaces Jesus.
Cam is also introduced to another obsession of the occult elite: Adrenochrome-like blood transfusion.
While taking an ice bath, Cam sees Zay being infused with blood.
When asked about the procedure, the trainer says:
“Father Time is undefeated but here, we give him a good run for his money.”
That’s a very adrenochrome thing to say.
Throughout his “training”, Cam is regularly injected with blood using a syringe creepily identified with the shrugging emoticon, as if saying, “You don’t want to know what’s in there.”
Later in the movie, we understand that this blood is special. And satanic. Zay says:
“Don’t you feel that f*cking beast burning inside of you now?”
Reminder: Satan is referred to as the “Beast” in the Bible.
Zay then explains that this special blood has been given to the “chosen one” for generations.
“They say this sh*t’s been around since the beginning of the league. Whoever has it is the chosen one. The one to bring salvation to the people. Whoever has it is the GOAT.”
In other words, Cam is next in line in a literal bloodline. Before this happens, he must partake in a final ritual.
Cam’s final crowning as the GOAT involves him meeting the team’s higher-ups and participating in some occult insanity.
Cam is the star of an event where he is dressed in white, the color of the “pure initiate.” The logo behind him is clearly inspired by the Masonic square and compass (added to the screenshot for reference).
During the event, Cam enters a room where a horned helmet stands between two “Masonic” pillars.
Upon removing the helmet, Cam finds his trainer’s severed head. The word “SACRIFICE” confirms that this was a … sacrifice. Very subtle.
Then comes the official signing ceremony. It is also a very symbolic affair.
The owners await Cam wearing pig masks.
This is a picture from the Church of Satan’s official website. Yup, that’s a pig mask.
Cam emerges from a tunnel paved in a Masonic checkerboard pattern, underneath a giant Baphomet head. Subtle.
Cam walks up to a pentagram flanked by candles. We’re starting to understand that this contract singing is not about business but about Cam’s soul.
Cam then notices something devastating placed next to the contract.
A picture of young Cam, his father, and the owner of the Saviors stands next to the contract. The implications are devastating.
As Cam realizes what happened to him, he hesitates to sign the contract. His agent (who happens to be Zay’s agent as well) tells him exactly what is going on.
“You think you earned this? No, we groomed you since you were a child, okay? We attacked you to isolate you so that we could draft you, you dumb f*ck!”
This pretty much sums up how the elite operate. Then, the owner of the team gets even more occult elite with it:
“Listen, I’ll kill your family. Now sign that f*cking contract.”
As he’s being told these things, the same demonic figure that injured Cam reappears menacingly.
Despite the pressure, Cam does not sign the contract. Instead, he massacres everyone in sight and decapitates the team owner.
Cam’s agent is the last one to get killed. And his death is highly symbolic.
A supernatural force drags Cam’s agent in right on the inverted pentagram.
As we’ve seen countless times, the inverted pentagram is the most important symbol in Satanism and is used in black magic rituals.
Then, the agent yells:
“He’s coming!”
Who is he referring to? We never see him. Is it Satan himself?
Then Cam says:
“No guts, no glory.”
And the agent explodes. His guts are all over the place. And Cam is glorious.
The movie ends on that note, leaving us to wonder what happens afterwards. Did Cam successfully overthrow this Satanic system? Did good triumph over evil? Or did Cam simply complete his Satanic programming and make a final offering to his lord and savior Satan before becoming the next GOAT?
HIM was not well-received by reviewers. Roger-Ebert.com gave it an abysmal 0.5/5. The review started with those words:
I can’t believe I left the house to see “HIM.” (…) I won’t belabor my hate of “HIM” because the movie hasn’t earned it.
Other reviewers are not too kind towards that movie, either. That’s because HIM is not a movie. It is a programming session topped by a ritual sacrifice. The protagonist is taken from Point A (good Christian boy) to Point B (evil Satanic pawn) with no hiccups. He’s barely in control of his movements the entire time. He is injured, emotionally manipulated, spiritually corrupted, and constantly pumped with adrenochrome until he takes part in an ultimate sacrifice.
The goal of this movie is not to entertain us and definitely not to inspire us. It is to fill us with a sense of dread. Furthermore, it serves another key point of the elite’s agenda: The Revelation of the Method. T
They want us to know about what they do and give them our implicit consent, which they believe relieves them of their karmic duties. Of course, they’re not fully truthful in their revelations, as that would cause a worldwide revolution. Instead, they dramatize and fictionalize their deeds and feature them in terrible movies such as HIM.
Then, they promote the movie using a tagline that sums up their entire philosophy: Greatness demands sacrifice.
