Subliminal messages in the Doctor Strange movie?

[Taarna]

This could add to the magical effect. The question is would you be for or against it.

Are you kidding me? Really... You have to be kidding...

I guess we'll know when the crowds coming out of the first showings of Doc Strange are all, "Must... Drink... Ovaltine!"

Says you. I always crave Ovaltine after a good movie.

Ah... But was it really a good movie flick, OR, did you only think that because of the obviously real subliminal messages which are apparently common place if the OP is to be believed?

Maybe, I mean Inwouldn't be too suprised if they inculded an eyed triangle here. A demon there. Some ancient writings or forgotten language that tranlates to something strange and chilling on a wall somehwere in the Sanctorum. It wouldn't hurt the film.

Are any of those things "subliminal messages" though? Those are just cool things adding texture in the background. I'm not even sure that the OP even knows what he means when referring to "subliminal messages" in this film.

Just as a reminder to anyone who hasn't heard: subliminal messages don't work. The original research was done by an advertiser, trying to sell his product, said product being "subliminal advertising". Whenever an actual scientist has rigorously tested the idea, the results were a great big bubkiss. As it turns out, images flashed too quickly for the human eye to detect, don't actually have an effect on the mind.

In order for suggestion to work, it has to be an image visible long enough to actually leave an impression. And even then, quick context-less images make crappy advertisements. Manipulation via imagery is certainly possible, but the way you persuade someone works in a manner completely unrelated to subliminal messages.

I don't know what is ovaltine, but now I have some cravings for it.

It's not minding control, but it can change initial perspectives when viewing something especially if the viewer isn't familiar with what he or she is looking at.

Sometimes a person can see an image and interpret it very differently than the next person. Haven't we all see this before?

Pattern lines or curves when it's not really a line or curve, and, plays on words can distract from the central action. Colors can set moods as well.

Well it all depends on what the GA looks at as a subliminal message.

If you mean as I mentioned, background details that add texture, okay, but I don't see that as "subliminal messages" and frankly the OP doesn't seem to know what the hell he means in the first place. How would the standard definition of "subliminal messages" even fit into things? How is that adding to the film in any way? What would be the purpose? Even the article he sites says it's pretty much BS and is often people looking into things that aren't there on purpose in the first place.

I'm still not sure what the hell you mean at all, especially since the main gist of that article is that people see what they want. Are you talking about visually interesting background visuals or what? Bigger question... How would this add to the film in anyway? This feels like a prelude to some conspiracy theory nonsense to me.

interesting... what do you crave after a bad movie?

I crave Metamucil.

The Illuminati is going to delete this thread.

Many have tried to uncover the great ovaltine conspiracy and have failed.

I'm not sure if you understand subliminal messages.

But suppose all of the below qualify

Suggestive shapes, optical illusions, hidden messages via symbols, split second frames that show somethin and such.

Do they still make that? Haven't seen any in 30 years.

Tequila.

LOL, I don't even know. I know I had some as a kid, though, so it was still around 20 years ago at least.
