The Profit (2001)

Director:
Peter N. Alexander

Runtime: 116 min

Skoro pa preslikana biografska priča o L. Ron Hubbardu i razvoju Sajentološke Crkve, uostalom iz tog razloga je ovo jedini trenutno javno zabranjeni film u SAD, dakle samo još jedna preporuka da se obavezno pogleda. Radi se o klasičnoj drami sa elementima parodije i iako je film low-budget meni se opako svideo, jer sam prepoznao neke stuacije za koje sam čuo i ranije al' jednostavno nisam verovao da su se zaista i dogodile jer realno zvuče neverovatno. I zapravo koliko je bizarna ta priča oko Sajentologa možda najbolje prikazuje ovaj igrani film, jer videćete kakav je iskusni prevarant, majstor svoga zanata, zapravo bio L. Ron Hubbard i kako je lako manipulisao ljudima oko sebe i to godinama pre nego što je postao ultra popularan, a Sajentolozi dobili svoje zasluženo mesto na mapi žešće zajebanih organizacija. Uporedo ide i priča o neverovatnoj paranoji koja je morila Hubbarda sve do kraja života. Sve to prati odlična muzike sa pesmom Eurythmics-a, Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This), koja je i glavna tema filma i savršeno se uklapa u akciju. Ali ubedljivo najjači detalj mi je ta hipnoza za koju je Hubbard bio al' baš pravi mag, ali više o tome u filmu. Dakle, pogledajte, nećete se pokajati. Sin rek'o.

IMDB

"Eric Rath plays a paranoid cult leader named L. Conrad Powers (taken by some observers to be a parody of L. Ron Hubbard), whose organization is called the "Church of Scientific Spiritualism." The narrative starts with Leland Conrad Powers getting interested in cults and he watches a Black Mass from behind a tree being performed by Zach Carson. Carson invites Powers to perform the "Caliban Working" and afterwards Carson gives Powers $20,000 to sell sailboats. Powers sails off with the boat, the money, and Helen Hughes. In retribution, Carson evokes Satan to summon a typhoon. The film often takes the form of parody. One of the church followers in the film creates a device that can read thoughts, called a "Mind Meter." Scientologists use a similar-looking device, the e-meter, as an aid in Scientology counseling, to detect changes in the counseled person's state of mind. Other elements in the film that have been cited as similar to L. Ron Hubbard and Scientology include conflict with the Internal Revenue Service, an infiltration of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, usage of military uniforms and science fiction theology. L. Conrad Powers is supported in the film by a "Tom Cruise-style celebrity," before eventually becoming a "reclusive demagogue."
