Lmonde's LEMONADE

Improved Essays
Beyoncé’s ‘LEMONADE’ is a visual and audio film released to coincide with the release of her 6th visual studio album also titled LEMONADE. Although the HBO aired film primarily hinges on her husband’s infidelity, there are a lot of hidden satanic meanings presented through the form of visual art. What Beyoncé’s LEMONADE fundamentally reflects is an occult and demonic initiation into the realm of Satanism disguised as a response to Jay Z’s alleged infidelity. It is very ironic how the film was aired during the worship and celebrations of Baal. It is also interesting how devoted fans and fellow celebrities were praising LEMONADE for pushing boundaries in the realm of modern art.

Fasted for 60 days. Wore white. abstained from mirrors, abstained from sex, slowly did not speak another word. In that time my hair, I grew past my ankles. I slept on a mat on the floor. I swallowed a sword. I levitated. Went to the basement, confessed my sins, and was baptized in a river. I got on my knees and said amen and said I mean. I whipped my own back and asked for dominion at your feet. I threw myself into a volcano. I drank the blood and drank the wine. I sat alone and begged and bent at the waist for God. I crossed myself and thought I saw the devil. I grew thickened skin on my feet I bathed in bleach and plugged my menses with pages from the holy book, but still inside me, coiled deep, was the need to know… are you cheating on me?
This scene seems to aim to confuse the viewer due to the religious contradictions. She speaks on both drinking blood as well as plugging in pages from the holy book into her bloody uterus. This is satanic behavior. She refers to God, but this is not the God that resides in Heaven. She is referring to Lucifer who expects blood

    Jealousy comes when one's focus is taken off God and put upon the world. Hebrews 13:4 states “but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.” God's Word also states in I Corinthians 3:17 “if any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy.” The purity of mankind should be maintained, therefore the jealous husband was to bring her before the priest who would carry out all the law. Devils love the destruction of relations between a man and his wife.…

For Jolly it is the exact opposite, she is a single mother with two kids and dropped out of school when she was 15, and can’t keep her job to support her family. Virginia Euwer Wolff’s Make Lemonade shows no matter someone’s situation, they will always be there for their family. Jolly and LaVaughn can both relate to this, Jolly being able to support her family at such a young age, LaVaughn´s mom supporting her goals for the future, and LaVaughn being so supportive of Jolly and her family.…

    For example, the subliminal message behind money was, “this is your God”. That instantly made me think about the quote, “In God We Trust”. In addition to revealing character and shaping the audience’s feelings, some of those same elements were used to reveal the subject of the film. The glasses made it easy to decipher the humans from the aliens and as the movie progresses we see that the aliens are practically everywhere. Aliens are disguised as cops, political representatives, pedestrians walking in the streets, clerks at grocery stores, employees at news stations, they are everywhere.…

    While David Fincher’s work spans many genres and touches on many themes, his darkest films prove to be the most interesting. Central to all of these films is religion, whether it be actual organized religion or a symbolic form of religion. Yet, Fincher does not deal with religion in a very typical way. Instead, he chooses to deal with religion through various treatments and depictions of violence, using many techniques, such as shots, camera angles, and cuts, to highlight the violence in the films and draw attention to its cause and effect relationship with religion. In Se7en (1995) and The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2011), Fincher investigates religion as the cause of violence, while in Fight Club (1999) he investigates religion forming…
