The Congress (2013) Full Movie
The Congress is a 2013 live-action/animated science fiction drama film written and directed by Ari Folman, based on Stanisław Lem's 1971 Polish science fiction novel The Futurological Congress. The film premiered at the 2013 Cannes Film Festival on 15 May 2013. Independent film distributor Drafthouse Films announced, along with Films We Like In Toronto, their co-acquisition of the North American rights to the film and a US theatrical and VOD/digital release planned for 2014.
Robin Wright plays a fictionalized version of herself as an aging actress with a reputation for being terrible, so much so that nobody is willing to offer her roles lest they be sued by traumatised audiences. Her son, Aaron, suffers from Usher syndrome that is slowly destroying his sight and hearing, and will result in him becoming a strange and bizarre creature that can taste sound and feel peoples thoughts. With the help of Dr. Barker (Paul Giamatti), Robin is barely able to stave off the worst effects of her son's decline, although his condition is sliding into its terminal stage.
Robin's longtime agent Al (Harvey Keitel) takes her to met Jeff Green (Danny Huston), a CEO of the film production company, Miramount Studios, which controls all world governments through media entertainment, and they offer to buy her likeness and digitize her into a computer-animated version of herself. After initially turning down the offer, Robin reconsiders after realizing she may be unable to find future work with the emergence of this new technology, and agrees to sell the film rights to her digital image to Miramount Studios in exchange for a hefty sum of money. She is forced to promise never to act again. After her body is digitally scanned, the studio will be able to make films starring her, using only computer-generated characters. Since then, Robin's virtual persona has become the star of a popular science-fiction action film franchise, "Rebel Robot Robin", featured in excerpts or parodies of Metropolis, R.U.R., Dr. Strangelove and Children of Men, with Robin appearing inside those film excerpts.
Twenty years later, in a world where Miramount's entertainment industry is now in total control, and those opposing them are ruthlessly hunted and enslaved, as her contract is about to expire, Robin travels to Abrahama City in the former United States (now the New Miramount States) where she will speak at Miramount's entertainment conference called the "Futurological Congress" in Hotel Miramount Nagasaki, and also renew her now expired contract. Abrahama City is an animated, surreal utopia that is created from figments of people's imaginations, where anyone can become an animated avatar of themselves, but are required to use hallucinogenic drugs and nanites that allow them to enter a mutable illusory state. They can become anything they want to be, including Michael Jackson, Marilyn Monroe, Clint Eastwood, Frida Kahlo, as well as Egyptian god Horus are seen at the Congress.
While discussing her new contract with Jeff, Robin learns that the studio has developed a new technology that will allow everyone to devour her or possibly transform themselves into her. Robin agrees to the deal but has a crisis of conscience and does not believe she or anyone else should be turned into a product. Asked to speak at the Congress, Robin publicly voices her contrary views, upsetting the hosts, judges and the councils of the Congress. Shortly afterwards, the Congress is interrupted by members of the resistance, who seek to overthrow Miramount and establish a far-right theocracy. The head of the Congress, a Steve Jobs cartoon parody figure, is assassinated by the Anti-Miramount resistance.
During the attack, Robin is rescued and protected by Dylan Truliner (Jon Hamm), who in real life actually was Miramount's lead animator for her films. They escape but she is soon captured by "Miramount Police" and taken into custody to convicted of crimes against the state, Robin is executed by Jeff as a punishment for rejecting the offers from Miramount and the Congress. Still in this animated world, Robin is shown on a hospital bed, while doctors discuss her case. One of the doctors reveals that when Robin was found, she pleaded with her rescuers to execute her. The doctors decide that Robin has become so exhausted and intoxicated by the effects of hallucinogen that she must be frozen until her corrupted DNA and neurological structure can be replaced.
Twenty years further on, Robin is revived and recovered in the animated world and has no memories of the Congress incident, having had all of her memories except those of her son erased. She reunites with Dylan, who told her that technology has improved so that anything is possible, that people can take on whatever form they wish and the ego no longer exists. Dylan and Robin fall in love, they take a journey through a colorful imaginary world. Robin, however, is still desperate to return to the real world and be with her son, Aaron.

In 1954 Detroit, Michigan, gangster Curt Goynes, in need of cash to leave town, is recruited to threaten a family as part of a blackmail scheme, along with gangsters Ronald Russo and Charley. The recruiter, Doug Jones, sends them to the house of GM accountant Matt Wertz, where they are to hold the family hostage while sending Wertz to the office where he works, to retrieve a document from his boss' safe but finds it empty. A desperate Wertz brings fake documents to Jones, then returns home where Charley prepares to execute the entire family, to the surprise of Goynes and Russo. Not wanting to be part of a massacre, Goynes shoots and kills Charley.
Jones phones the house, having discovered the documents are fake. He orders Goynes to kill Russo and the family, and Goynes realizes he and Russo have been set up. Before they leave, Goynes instructs the family to tell the police that Charley broke into their home and that Wertz killed Charley in self-defense. The police detective, Joe Finney, is skeptical of the family's story. Once the police leave, Goynes, Russo, and Wertz go to Wertz's boss' house in Ohio and retrieve the real document, which turns out to be plans for a new car part. Goynes and Russo discover they have a high bounty placed on their heads, and make plans to ascertain what the document is worth by arranging a meeting with Frank Capelli, the mob leader who contracted the blackmail scheme and with whose wife, Vanessa, Russo is having an affair. Goynes makes further arrangements with mob leader Aldrick Watkins to take part of the eventual payment in order to clear himself with Watkins, with whom he is on the outs.
Goynes and Russo have a meeting with Capelli. Goynes deduces that the value of the document vastly exceeds the amount they considered it was worth. Jones arrives and points a gun, showing Capelli and Jones' intention to turn on the gangsters. This results in a shootout that kills Doug. Frank flees, only to be caught by Goynes and Russo who extract the name of his contact. Curt calls the contact, Naismith, a Studebaker executive, and arranges to sell him the document for $125,000. Frank escapes, but when he returns home, a battered Vanessa shoots and kills him before departing with a suitcase of cash. Seeking a bigger payday, Goynes and Russo return to Wertz's boss' home and have him call his contact further up the chain of command. Goynes and Russo meet with arrogant automobile industry executive Mike Lowen (aka "Mr. Big") at a downtown hotel, who pays them $375,000 to retrieve the document. The document is revealed to be plans for a catalytic converter, and Mr. Big is seeking to conceal its existence from public knowledge and avoid governmental pressure on the car companies to implement pollution controls. Mr. Big tells Goynes and Russo that even though they are taking his money, it does not matter - he will always have more.
After Mr. Big leaves, Goynes and Russo attempt to split the money but are interrupted by Watkins and his men, who have already retrieved the $125,000 from Naismith. It initially seems Goynes and Watkins team up to betray Russo, but Goynes is led away at gunpoint by Watkins' men. Ronald is allowed to leave with the $375,000. Watkins and his men are stopped outside the hotel by Detective Finney and his men, but he bribes the detective with $50,000 of the Naismith money to let them leave with Goynes, telling Finney that Goynes will be "taken care of". Russo flees the city with Vanessa, but when they leave the main road to avoid a potential pursuer, she kills him and claims the money for herself. As she drives away, Vanessa is stopped by a police officer, who takes the money and then allows her to leave. Detective Finney privately returns the money to Mr. Big, including the $50,000 bribe from Watkins. Watkins takes Curt to a pier, where they make amends. Watkins gives Curt $5,000 and allows him to leave for Kansas City.

Fahrenheit.451.1966.720p.BluRay.x264.YIFY
Fahrenheit 451 is a 1966 British dystopian drama film directed by François Truffaut and starring Julie Christie, Oskar Werner, and Cyril Cusack. Based on the 1953 novel of the same name by Ray Bradbury, the film takes place in a controlled society in an oppressive future, in which the government sends out firemen to destroy all literature to prevent revolution and thinking. This was Truffaut's first colour film[4] and his only non French-language film. At the 1966 Venice Film Festival, Fahrenheit 451 was nominated for the Golden Lion.
Based on one of Ray Bradbury's most famous novels, Fahrenheit 451 came out in 1966, one year after a dystopian film named Alphaville was released, directed by his friend and fellow filmmaker Jean Luc Godard. Truffaut wrote in a letter, "You mustn't think that 'Alphaville' will do any harm whatsoever to 'Fahrenheit'", but he was mistaken.
Truffaut's adaptation differed from the novel by portraying Montag and Clarisse falling in love. Another notable aspect of the film is that Julie Christie plays two characters, Clarisse and Montag's wife Mildred, whose name was changed to Linda in the adaptation.
In the future, a totalitarian government employs a force known as Firemen to seek out and destroy all literature. They have the power to search anyone, anywhere, at any time, and burn any books they find. One of the firemen, Guy Montag, meets one of his neighbours, Clarisse, a young schoolteacher who may be fired due to her unorthodox views. The two have a discussion about his job, where she asks whether he ever reads the books he burns. Curious, he begins to hide books in his house and read them, starting with Charles Dickens's David Copperfield. This leads to conflict with his wife, Linda, who is more concerned with being popular enough to be a member of The Family, an interactive television programme that refers to its viewers as "cousins".
At the house of an illegal book collector, the fire captain, Beatty, talks with Montag at length about how books make people unhappy and make them want to think that they are better than others, which is considered anti-social. The book collector, an old woman who was seen with Clarisse a few times during Montag's rides to and from work, refuses to leave her house, opting instead to burn herself and the house, so that she can die with her books.
Returning home that day, Montag tries to tell Linda and her friends about the woman who martyred herself in the name of books and confronts them about knowing anything about what's going on in the world, calling them zombies and telling them that they're just killing time instead of living life. Disturbed over Montag's behaviour, Linda's friends try to leave, but Montag stops them by forcing them to sit and listen to him read a novel passage. During the reading, one of Linda's friends breaks down crying, aware of the feelings she repressed over the years, while Linda's other friends leave in disgust over Montag's alleged cruelty and the sick content of the novel.
That night, Montag dreams of Clarisse as the book collector who killed herself. The same night, Clarisse's house is raided, but she escapes through a trapdoor in the roof, thanks to her uncle. Montag breaks into Beatty's office, looking for information about the missing Clarisse, and is caught but not punished.
Montag meets with Clarisse and helps her break back into her house to destroy papers that would bring the Firemen to others like her. She tells him of the "book people", a hidden sect of people who flout the law, each of whom has memorised a book to keep it alive. Later, Montag tells Beatty that he is resigning but is convinced to go on one more call, which turns out to be Montag's own house.
Linda leaves the house, telling Montag that she couldn't live with his book obsession and leaves him to be punished by the Firemen. Angrily, he destroys the bedroom and television before setting fire to the books. Beatty lectures him about the books and pulls a last book from Montag's coat, for which Montag kills him with the flamethrower. He escapes and finds the book people, where he views his "capture" on television, staged to keep the masses entertained and because the government doesn't want it to be known that he is alive. Montag selects a book to memorise, Tales of Mystery and Imagination by Edgar Allan Poe, and becomes one of the book people.

RECONNECT---Dennis-McKenna,-Jordan-Peterson,-Dorian-Yates---Full-Documentary
A Journey with Ayahuasca
Reconnect is London Real’s fifth feature-length documentary film and documents Brian Rose’s journey to Costa Rica where he participates in multiple ceremonies with the plant medicine Ayahausca. The movie stars Graham Hancock, Dr. Jordan Peterson, Dennis McKenna, Sadhguru, Dorian Yates, Dr. Gabor Mate, Dr. Joe Dispenza, Michael Pollan, and Dan Pena.
As the founder and host of London Real, Brian Rose has spoken to over 1,000 of the greatest minds on the planet for the past eight years including Dan Peña, Dan Bilzerian, Robert Kiyosaki, Jocko Willink and more.
With an aim to spread transformational ideas to the world, London Real reaches millions of people each month with its message and yet, when Brian looked outside his studio, he saw a very different reality: a world full of division, tribalism, hatred, anger, and disconnection from our environment.
Against that background, Brian also felt extremely disconnected from his purpose, his mission, and his family.
Under the advice of legendary psychedelic researcher Dennis McKenna (brother of the late Terence McKenna), Brian decided to travel to Costa Rica to participate in three ceremonies with the ancient plant medicine Ayahuasca, known for inducing powerful visions, painful experiences, and transformational lessons.
There he reconnects with his vision and purpose but also uncovers childhood trauma that created an existential crisis in his life. After returning to London with clear visions about the future, he soon realised that things are not what he expected, and that real transformation and healing must include painful challenges and uncomfortable situations.
Along the way, Brian is advised and mentored by a number of London Real guests including Jordan Peterson, the best selling author Michael Pollan, Graham Hancock, childhood trauma specialist Dr. Gabor Mate, the Indian mystic Sadhguru, Dr. Robin Carhart-Harris of Imperial College London, former bodybuilder Dorian Yates, Dr. Joe Dispenza, and high-performance coach Dan Peña, the $50 Billion Man.
Despite this incredible guidance, Brian struggles to address his personal demons, and ultimately decides to confront the people who caused his trauma. So he embarks on a trip home to speak separately to his mother and father, in order to heal himself and ultimately create a new future for his children, his company, and his movement.
Watch Reconnect now and share in Brian’s story through his Ayahuasca ceremony and beyond to his integration exclusively here on London Real.
