A Deeper Look at The Tenant (1976 movie)
Thursday, December 2, 2021
Last night, I noticed the 1976 Polanski movie, The Tenant, was on the indie channel. I decided to record it on my DVR because it was on late, after 1 am, and I didn’t want to stay up that late. I watched the movie this morning.
I noticed lots of Illuminati symbolism throughout the movie, and other dark occult symbolism, similar to Rosemary’s Baby. In the movie, The Tenant, Roman Polanski, plays the main character, and the movie takes place in Paris, France, during the seventies. The main character enters the apartment building to rent a room, and the landlord lady, played by Shelly Winters, shows him the room, belonging to a woman who recently attempted suicide by jumping out of the window. She is in critical condition at the hospital, all bandaged up. The main character wonders if he should move in right away because the woman might recuperate and move back into her place, but the landlord lady assures him that the woman will not make it alive.
He decides to visit the woman at the hospital, even though he doesn’t know her, I think to check on her condition, waiting to see if she will live or die. Although the woman is bandaged up from head to toe, she appears to be cognizant of her surroundings. From the open gap of her mouth, it is noticeable that she is missing a front tooth. She appears to be able to hear but she doesn’t speak. A female friend of the woman also comes to visit at the same time. When she tries to talk to the woman, the woman wails a loud but eerie scream of terrifying horror.
Soon after, the man is notified that the woman has died at the hospital. The man moves into the already furnished small apartment, decorated in vintage French décor and the woman’s belongings. The man starts to reorganize his apartment, as well as go through her items. He noticed eerie clues to a dark mystery about her death. He moves furniture to notice a hole in the wall. He picks out the cotton ball that was used to close the hole, and he finds a tooth. He puts it back and closes the hole with the cotton.
One by one, tenants in the same apartment building, come to his door, claiming he is making lots of noise at night and disturbing their sleep. Some of these claims appear to be lies. But they keep terrorizing and harassing him for all kinds of things that he isn’t aware of.
He becomes close with the dead woman’s female friend. And, he often tells her about the eerie things happening to him in the apartment. He feels the dead woman’s ghost is haunting him.
But he eventually realizes that all the neighbors are involved in some kind of satanic cult, and they are trying to push him to commit suicide similar to the dead woman, Simone. He realizes that they had driven her to jump out of the window by making her go crazy.
He starts going crazy in the same fashion, as he is driven to assume Simone’s identity by crossdressing, acting like a woman, and acting like Simone.
Once when he looks out the window, he notices his neighbors — a woman and her crippled daughter. The woman was tied up and the daughter was dressed in Illuminati garb of a long red satin-like cape, a mask that looks like his face, and a jester hat. The woman and daughter look like they were being used for some kind of satanic ritual, which has to do with him.
The last scene is eerie. As he sits by his open window, dressed as a woman, which includes wig, makeup, dress, hosiery, garter belt, and platform high heels, all the neighbors are at their windows as well as seated comfortably on their lawn with their picnic, looking up at his open window, cheering him on, applauding, and encouraging him to jump, similar to a big theatrical presentation at an opera house. The symbolism in that scene also looks like Illuminati symbolism, which might indicate an Illuminati sacrifice ritual — both for Simone and him.
I noticed many ideas in this movie were similar to the ideas in Rosemary’s Baby. It appears that Roman Polanski was trying to expose the dark cult or occult. But it also appears that Roman Polanski was also a part of the occult because he does dress up as a woman in this movie, similar to other male actors who are made to dressing up as women in order to get promoted in the industry as well as in Freemasonry. And, many male actors do the same thing for their promotion, increased pay, fame, and prestige. Many do become pedophiles, such as Tom Hanks, who is now hiding out in Greece with his family as Greek citizens because Greece doesn’t consider pedophilia to be a crime. They see it as a mental disorder, and they are probably providing Tom Hanks with rehab in order to heal his pedo mental disorder. I also remember hearing that Kevin Spacey is a pedophile, as well. And, other pedophiles enjoyed themselves at Epstein’s Island.
