Movie Review: 'Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow'
by William Spencer
25 October 2004
"Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow" is lighthearted cinema. Jude Law
plays the titular hero, known only as Sky Captain. He's a pilot with the
rank of captain. So he gets the cool name. The crypto-jewess (chosenite
father) Gwyneth Paltrow plays the nosy, stubborn journalist Polly Perkins.
Angelina "Lips" Jolie plays the intrepid leader of an elite British
squadron. She's called Capt. Franky Cook, the diminutive of Francesca.
Though very little about Ms. Jolie is diminutive. Wink wink. Giovanni
Ribisi, who collaberated with Law in "Cold Mountain" plays Dex, the highly
capable engineer/scientist guy and Sky Captain's best pal/sidekick. Gone is
Ribisi's penchant for tics and dumb-guy eccentricities. With Captain's looks
and Dex's brains, it's no wonder these two are the air force's best. Bai
Ling, a Chinese, plays Mysterious Woman. She's the super fighter and the
strong arm of the bad guys. She no talky, mostly kicks, punches, and defies
gravity. Women empowerment and all. Feminism-lite, to be honest. The
Irishman Michael Gambon plays Editor Paley. He's the big time news man who
puts Polly on the case. Very little screen time for him. The diabolical
mastermind Totenkopf is voiced by Sir Laurence Olivier. Sir Laurence is no
longer alive, but they cobbled together sound bytes from his long film
career and used his voice. Which is fitting, since we never actually see
Totenkopf, only archive footage of the few times he stepped in front of the
camera.
The film was written and directed by Kerry Conran. Hey, a gentile at the
wheel. Can't go wrong movie fans. Fun for the whole family. And none of the
scatology, toilet humor, body part exploitation, farting, gross outs, injury
laughs, and cartoon antics ubiquitously employed by jew moviemakers. Gotta
love that. In fact, the only jewish name I spied among the producers was Jon
Avnet. Two other producers were from the De Laurentis clan. There were
something like 8 different producers/investors/backers. Spreading the risk
around I guess. So, not too many jewish claws in this pie. For Hollywood,
that's rare. No doubt the chosen ones got their cut of the profits, but
that's neither here nor there.
So the year is 1938. Why they call it the world of tomorrow, who knows? I
think they were going for an alternate universe motif. Everyone dresses in
40's style and the romance and dialogue are reminiscent of that time period.
The setting is Gotham City, which is of course the fantasy cinematic version
of New York City. And also home to the Caped Crusader, Batman. And home as
well to the Man of Steel, Superman. Though both must be on vacation because
when the forces of evil rear their ugly heads, the Gotham superheroes are
nowhere to be found. The plot: top American scientists are going missing.
Editor Paley puts Polly Perkins on the case. She's to find out where the
scientists are disappearing to and of course break the story. Then,
suddenly, on a crisp fall morning, out of nowhere, giant robots begin
attacking the city. They aren't really attacking the people, just the local
airbase and the city power supply, I suppose to juice up their own
batteries. It's a silly plot, but the movie isn't really about plot. It's a
sci-fi romp that's all about amazing visuals and effects-all of which were
created by CGI artists. CGI stands for Computer-Generated Imagery. Really,
the jaw-dropping scenery and action those computer geeks can cook up are
wonders to behold. So over at the secret mountain air base, Sky Captain hops
in his Triumph Spitfire fighter plane and flies into the sky to battle the
invading menace. There's a stunning dogfight/chase with the mysterious
machines in the skies of Manhattan. Dex is kidnapped by Mysterious Woman and
her robot helpers, like the other top scientists, and whisked away to an
unknown location. Sky Captain takes it upon himself to rescue his friend and
figure out what's behind the robot invasion. Polly goes along for the ride,
much to the chagrin of Sky Captain.
According to the interviews around the movie, all of the film was shot on
blue screen. That's where the actors do their stuff in front of a blue
screen, and then the CGI artists step in and fill the blue with images. So
the movie makes a little history as it's the first movie to be shot entirely
using this method. Must be much cheaper, now that the technology has been
mastered and streamlined, than building actual sets and all that. It must
also be a challenge for the actors to work in front of nothing but a blue
screen. Sky Captain is really all about the visuals and effects. The look
and feel of the movie is sort of retro-futuristic/comic book/sci-fi. It's a
little like they came up with a story board drawn in comic book fashion and
then attempted to make the movie match the story board. The movie takes a
lot of it's cues from the "Indiana Jones" trilogy. You know: over-the-top
action, (somewhat) witty dialogue, occasional humor, intrigue, mystery,
exotic locales, and......Nazis. The super villain is a German. And probably
a Nazi himself. This is alluded to but you don't see any swastikas or
goose-stepping Stormtroopers. Totenkopf is a despotic mad scientist who
likes to shout when he gives speeches. Ring a bell? As if the Nazi Bad Guys
thing wasn't played out enough eh? He's a super genius however. An
intellectual uberman. More on his motives later.
"Sky Captain" is what you might call a fun little movie. It's harmless and
entertaining, safe for young and susceptible white minds. You might want to
wait until it hits video or wait even longer until it hits Showtime or
Starz. Now someone might call me on this, but there is an undertone that the
WN might find satisfying. Why? Well, because Gwyneth Paltrow is jewish.
Actually half jewish. And every VNNer knows this, or should. At least those
who care whether a given celebrity is a jew or not. Jews are notorious for
hiding their true identities from public knowledge. Disguising themselves
has been a primary tactic of theirs throughout history. Watch "Der Ewige
Juden" for confirmation of this fact. Now, for VNNers anyway, Gwyneth's
tribal identity is "out in the open." Now you might argue that I'm seeing
things or simply being overimaginative. But I'm convinced that this movie
takes little shots here and there at God's Precious Little Darlings by
taking little shots at Gwyneth. Vicarious jew-baiting-lite, if you will.
Don't get me wrong. Gwyneth is a talented actress and a fine-looking woman.
She owes this to the fact that her mother, Blythe Danner, is full gentile.
She basically looks just like her mother. However, her papa is the very
jewish director Bruce Paltrow. So technically, since membership requires a
jewish mother, Gwyneth is one of us. Of note is Sky Captain's grudge against
Perkins. See, they were once an item. He accuses her of sabotaging his
plane. She denies this time after time but later confesses. SC: "Did you
sabotage my plane?" Polly: "Yes." SC: "I knew it!" Polly: "Did you cheat on
me with that woman?". SC: "Yes." Polly: "I knew it!"
When Perkins meets another old flame of SC's, Franky, the eyepatch-wearing
tough girl, says (paraphrase) "well it's nice to finally meet the
competition." When the team finally makes it to Totenkopf's inner sanctum,
they encounter a machine at the entrance. One of the scientists boldly steps
forward only to be fried by a blast of high voltage. His appearance is so
glaringly jewish that the shrewd viewer can't help but draw some quiet
conclusions; i.e., the makers of this movie are jew-wise Gentiles. There are
numerous other subtle instances of fun being poked at the half jew Gwyneth,
but I'll leave you the viewer to take note of these and smile your devious
little smiles when you catch them. Mrs. Paltrow seems to play along with the
mild gentile subversion in this movie. Put it this way: the movie is
gentile-empowering, like movies tend to be when the director and producers
are gentiles. The "X-Men" movies come to mind. Director Bryan Singer, who
has been hired to take on the next "Superman" film incarnation, is a
pleasant white fellow. Sure, casting threw in the token mulatto Halle Berry,
but that's it. All white, all right. Tim Burton's films also spring to mind,
"Batman" or "Mars Attacks," for example. Then of course there are a myriad
of gentile-friendly movies from the likes of Ridley Scott, James Cameron,
Walt Disney (known for his judeo-phobic views), Alfred Hitchcock, Jon
Huston, George Lucas, Martin Scorcese, Oliver Stone, and others.
Spoilers follow. Cover your eyes with your popcorn bag or click back on your
browser. The German madman Totenkopf has a secret base on an uncharted
island in the South Pacific. A beautiful aircraft carrier hovering high
above the ocean with the Union Jack boldly emblazoned on it is probably the
most memorable (CGI) set-piece. When Sky Captain and Polly finally gain
entrance to Totenkopf's lair, after numerous dangerous encounters dodging
Totenkopf's security measures, and plenty of help from Franky and her
squadron of British aces, they are greeted by a bizarre menagerie of extinct
creatures brought back to life. The films makers, in my opinion, are showing
us their vision of "tomorrow," when Aryan genius and science will be able to
resurrect every creature ever lost to the ages or due to the encroachment of
man; including dodo birds, cape lions, Tasmanian wolves, passenger pigeons,
and yes, even all the dinosaurs that ever roamed the world many millions of
years ago. On Totenkopf's island, there live dinosaurs and many other
bizarre creatures. Rest assured white man and woman, someday the genius of
the white race will indeed be able to make these creatures come alive once
again. "Jurassic Park" was only the tip of the iceberg regarding this
fascinating subject.
Now the problem is, Totenkopf is going to destroy the world. Kind of like
what that other German wanted to do, if you believe the rumors. You
shouldn't, btw. Totenkopf himself is found to be dead and sitting in his
office mummifying, but when he was an idealistic young mad scientist, he
became disgusted with humanity, as ubergenius mad-scientist Nazis are wont
to do. War, disease, greed, corruption, big government, hatred, jews,
vanity, evil-you name it, Totenkopf got fed up with it. So he retreated from
public life and devoted his energies to making for himself a utopia. So he
created robots, lots of robots. They serve him and do his bidding. And he
created flying ships and submarines and a vast hi-tech underground base. And
with the help of all those kidnapped top scientists and his robot army,
Totenkopf also made an enormous rocket ship onto which he is loading a male
and female pair of every species of animal life on earth. An "Ark," just
like the one in the bible. Much as Yahweh became disgusted with humanity and
decided to drown it, Totenkopf too decides that humans are too much trouble.
But this time it won't be a flood but fiery annihilation of every square
foot of land on the planet. Much like the jew book predicts. Then later,
when the environment has stabilized, the enormous rocket returns from orbit
with all the animals ready for release into the virgin wilds. And, also
ready for release will be a symbolical Adam and Eve, or two ideal humans
represented by two small capsules, containing their genetic code, that
Mystery Woman has been trying to track down. Then, at long last, Totenkopf's
plans for a brave new world will be realized. Of course, it's up to Sky
Captain to save the world from total annihilation. Will he get the job done?
You'll have to pay your 8 bucks to find out.
See it for yourself when it comes to video, or if you just can't wait, catch
it in theaters now. Decent flick that is definitely gentile-friendly. It's
even gentile-empowering, when viewed from a WN standpoint. Just remember,
those sturnning visuals and pretty thespians were created by one thing and
one thing only: THE WHITE RACE. Doesn't it make you proud?
