It was set in an actual mental hospital which closed down in 1985 (=23), the "mammoth brick facility" was built in 1871 (=17 and the 71/17 too) info from this review. As I said, the movie aired on the Sci-Fi Channel on the 28th of June, the 6th month, so Session 9 shows the mirror/reversal type symbolism (69 sexual allusion). Mary Hobbes' alters are: Princess (her childlike alter), Billy (all seeing alter), and Simon (murderous alter). The doctor asks, "Where does the Princess Live." and 'Simon says' "In the Tongue, because she talks a lot" (sexual allusion) and "Billy lives in the eyes, because "he sees everything". Showing the compartmentalized mind, as this is one way (they arn't neuropsychologists) an MPD victim can verbalize this compartmentalization (as well as the different characteristics ((super human memory, pliability etc.)) of the individual alters contained in the different compartments created in the mind through trauma). This also adds weight to my argument that individual parts of the face are used in advertising as a method of mind control en-masse. 'Simon' is rage; that dwells within us all which is more likely to be released when you are put through significant trauma (the Simon alter comes out when Mary is scared by her brother making her fall on her doll so she kills him and her parents) and just simple stress in general makes you more susceptible to 'the crazy' (AKA: "Simon", "primal fear, base anger" seen in Jacob's Ladder).
8 (total control) is the letter h, having it connected to the green triangle is v symbolic, also note the crucifix. On wikipedia's page on numerology they describe 8 as being the number of power and sacrifice.
giant bath for blood rituals.
In this low budget psychological horror movie: Nobody Loves Alice. Similar themes are explored as, like Mary Hobbes in Session 9 she also killed her (though a foster) brother when she was a kid, except she killed him with fire, and afterwards she ritualistically lights long matches over and over. The shy/quiet/loner type character of Alice is increasingly common in this schizophrenic world so a lot of people can relate to her (myself included, a bit).
Alice's interests piqued mine, as she says she liked to listen to "Elvis", who was most likely himself a programmed Multiple. On her favourite colour she says, "I guess I'm supposed to say pink right? Because I'm a girl... Green... I've always had this strange attraction to green."
Sad (and discordant when insane sh*t happens) piano music is played throughout, giving it an added emotional layer, the actress who plays Alice really helps this too as she is very convincing (I also like the fact that they havn't gone for your stereotypical ultra-attractive Hollywood actress types, as much as I love em). She captures and ties up Alex, which works as a double bind, phonically similar to Alice (murderer sounds like victim) and she chops his left foot off (symbolising a loss of self) at the ankle for betraying her by trying to escape, she lovingly cleans up the leg and excitedly/happily talks to him about their future wedding plans.
This is not spoken of in the movie, but was pretty obvious to me; that she fed his own leg to him, calling it "chicken", cannibalism is an important part of mind control (not a necessity, the Catholic religion ((mass not-so "soft" mind control)) employs it symbolically in its rituals) and was researched vigorously by the CIA. This cannibalism triggers a memory, of her as a little girl being verbally traumatized by her father, holding a (double barrelled) shotgun. She is in the classic fetal position (in both the memory fragment, and in the present time), rocking back and forth wearing pink with various things on like roses and diamonds (clearer in an image further up).
To signify this is a repressed memory we are shown a "one eyed" shot symbolizing that it (the memory) has been compartmentalized to another area of the brain but has been brought forth (into her eye, visual memory, front of her mind, people say "it's at the back of my mind" when there is something you want to forget but know that you need to ((reluctantly)) come to it later on) by the cannibalism trigger. The rest of her memory (of the aforementioned event) is triggered by a blow to the head near the end, where we again have the one eyed shot which flashes on screen at the same time as the gunshot is heard (of her father killing himself with a shotgun), before telling her that nobody loves him, which is what programmed her into what she became. I do not want to go into every detail of this movie because I have about five or six waiting for me to do detailed posts on.
The main guy's girlfriend dissociates a lot, with the photocopying machine and coffee (spirals in coffee, see Pi) putting her in a trance, she says she "spaced out for a second".
Note the symbolism, ancient egyptian Ra (sun god) depiction, skeletal fish.
Octagonal (8) clock, at 8:23?
Not sure, but I think that might be a butterfly, with it's wings pointing upwards.
Bye Bye (P)Alice.
