[frame up] favoured ploy of the fallen

All the reviews seem to pan the film The Fallen [1998, Denzel Washington]. That's as maybe but the idea is quite neat and I imagine close to reality.

The plot, in a nutshell, is that a serial killer is caught and gassed for his crime but he was, in fact, possessed and the daemon can switch hosts either by touch or over a certain distance, otherwise it dies. Its game is to frame cops for murders, by having the cop kill whichever innocent was possessed at the time and then to move on, once the innocent is dead and blood is on the cop's hands.

Of more interest to me was the frame-up, as this was one theme in this post as well, which is about when black is presented as white and white as black. It also seems applicable to many things going on today. It would be horrific being framed, even down to your own fingerprints being there to incriminate you and all that just to continue the agenda of someone or something which revels in distrust and destruction.

You'd have no way out and would have to watch as friends and family began to think you'd either gone off your brain or were guilty. If you accept the stool pigeon as a frame-up of sorts, then Oswald might fall into that category and htere is evidence that Dean was initially meant to take the rap for Watergate as well.

Very difficult to counter.

  1. And as they say ,'to catch a killer you have to think like a killer'...and who wants to get into the mind of a killer?
