That doesn't surprise me at all. I still don't understand why people call it a kid's movie to this day. I still think it's scary, but maybe that's my bias.Also, Gremlins was used for programming. It just isn't commonly mentioned.
I need to think about this, because my father always repeated things endlessly that he wanted me to be/or to do. Sometimes just kept repeating the same phrases for hours, or interrogated me for hours about my motives for something. He also always boasted about how he controlled people at work and could make them cry at his whim etc. It does sound a little like he did know what he was doing, at least partially.Programming is going to center around the preferences of the abuser, so this becomes more varied as media increases. The way to know what was used to program you is to know the abuser well. This can create a barrier to understanding how you were scripted to control the way you behave in the present because when you want to come out of the darkness, you will more than likely have some hatred for your abuser. It is not so easy to watch a movie that you know they would enjoy because it can re-create a connection to the perpetrator that the victim wants to sever as much as they want to understand.
Anyways, for what it's worth, Gremlins is not outside the realm of possibility in the world of programming.
He is also the first one that brought me into contact with the occult, he came home from a holiday when I was 14 with a book called ''spells for teenage witches'' and said he was sure I would make a good witch. I was smitten with the present and was attracted to it immediately because I thought it would give me power when I felt powerless.
