Spielberg's 'Disclosure Day'

" 'Disclosure Day' is Spielberg's most recent project that has been getting a lot of marketing and media attention. Here are my thoughts after seeing it."

Okay, saw it. Hey, I was so surprised to see Mr Darcy! Colin Firth! That was a pleasant surprise.

Where to start? I won't say much. First off, it was a well-made film - and a great mystery - I was always trying to figure out where the film was going to go (and there were some great isolated gems of moments that could have gone off into magical byways). Except by the last third of the film when old tropes started getting pulled out of the hat (to my great disappointment) the film slowed to a thudding grind. For a while there at the film's beginning I was thinking something unique was afoot - but no. It all became predictable - and moved very sluggishly. How old is Spielberg? 80? Methinks his age is showing. It was not the film of a master. Makes me wonder why he made the effort.

I won't give away any spoilers because it really is a good entertaining film in a sea of awful films these days, so if you like science fiction films, this is a well-made B movie. Have fun with it.

I will tell one little bit that I think speaks to the calibre (low) of the script's content - when one of the characters is explaining that she had been a nun, she gets asked 'what kind of nun' and she answers 'a novitiate'. Ouch! She should have said she had been a novice. The novitiate is the part of the monastery where the novices live. Glaring mistake I would expect anyone to pick up on. Sets the tone - or did with me - nothing presented could be taken seriously with that level of sloppiness. IMO.

And so it was - the most outlandish events from the history of ufology that we all here are acquainted with get used to flesh out the storyline. Not a serious film in the least as a result. Too bad.

But it leaves me with one question: what's with all the religion stuff these days? Why is that being given such prominence? Never came up before in ufology. That's new. At least for me.

I'm in agreement with all of that. I was genuinely interest in the first half of the movie and was hoping I was heading towards the same rollercoaster fun ride I was on when I saw Close Encounters of The Third Kind at the theatre when it came out. But I was a kid then, and since then I've been jaded by decades of Ufology.

I wanted to be surprised and feel something different, like I did when I watched Arrival - a genuinely unique take on language, aliens and first contact. But the writing on this movie was fairly lame and took no real risks at all. Perhaps magic belongs to the realm of children. And maybe Spielberg has lost his edge altogether.

This movie went straight into ho-hum territory after the chase part was over and it descended straight into the tropes of mundane Ufological lore - most of which is entirely unproven. The scope of Close Encounters was grand and embraced ideas big and weird, which made for a great dramatic arc. This one fell flatter than an alien pancake from Eagle River.

But it leaves me with one question: what's with all the religion stuff these days? Why is that being given such prominence? Never came up before in ufology. That's new. At least for me.

You need to ask your president about that. He has magnified the scope and role of religion as a rather (imho) insincere part of the state's daily life instead of the private beliefs and convictions of individuals, where religion belongs. Religious states are dangerous - just look at Iran and Afghanistan, and now the US is going down that same road of citizenship and personal power only being given to you if you are a believer and a man. Anyways, I digress......

John Keel also widely promoted the notion that aliens are demons, so it's been a part of UFO mythology for a very long time now. It has been recently revived by a strain of the Republican party, not just Vance, who firmly believe that what is behind the phenomenon can only be viewed through a Christian lens, so by default, these are not angels and have to be demons.

If you were never a fan of John Keel you may have not run into this aspect of ufology but he was a demonologist through and through and promoted this thoroughly, as did Bender back in the day. So that thread has always been around, but the Space Brother vibe has also always been promoted and more people promoted that than Keel's marginal beliefs.

100%. Yeah - wasn't that amazing? After the chase - bang! Dead-stop. How many minutes did she look around her house? Cheesh! And 'the reveal.' Urgh! It was like seeing the cobbled together fantasies of a few un-imaginative 'experiencers' across decades presented as fact. Ouch!

Looked up John Keel - so he was the Mothman Prophesy guy. I remember that.

????? I'm not aware of what you're saying here and why Trump would have any religious motive pertaining to UFO disclosure.

Two factors at play -
- Trump's Butler PA brush with death apparently impacted him, and compared to his first term it appears he has 'gotten religion' a bit - though he was always a Christian, albeit not particularly 'out there' with his religious belief. The experience at Butler PA changed him and he has become more overtly religious in his second term. [He does believe he was saved for a purpose.] I have no view on it one way or another, maybe because I have always experienced US Presidents - as well as Senators and Congressman and anyone in public life - as personally professing faith - attending church, attending Prayer Breakfasts, making allusions to Christian tropes in speeches. I experience that as normal.
- Plus there is the issue of Islamism. Up to recently the US has had many Muslim immigrants and they have peacefully lived in their enclaves as new immigrants are wont to do, abiding by the cultural norms of their new country, and then assimilating seamlessly with the succeeding generations, viewing themselves as Americans first and foremost. No problems. But something has started to change - over the last 25-30 years - which may be impacting how Trump has decided to speak and act - drawing a line in the sand as it were.

JD Vance addressed this recently when he spoke about it being mandatory that immigrants who become citizens must declare allegiance to the US above all previous loyalties. One has to do this because it's in the best interests of our country - it was an issue with the Founders. It's that attitude that makes Americans welcoming towards people. It's part of the culture that knits us together. We are overtly patriotic. We love our country. We are happy to be here. That is a shared ideal. We can disagree with government policies etc but we are bound by shared cultural norms that emerge from shared western Christian values, whether we are religious or not.

This is not anti-immigrant. It’s the proposition that American citizenship means a singular loyalty — that an elected official’s job is to serve the United States, and that diaspora communities don’t have a veto over American foreign policy because their ancestral homeland is involved. That’s not controversial. It’s the definition of a nation-state. To be an American means to look out for America first.
