We\u2019ve looked into some of them, which either proves that movie fans have too much time on their hands \u201d\u201c or, they can see through layers of symbolism.

He devises elaborate plans and schemes to cover his tracks, particularly to make sure his parents don\u2019t find out it\u2019s one of his many days of school so far.<\/p>\n<p>Ferris is symbolic with being mischievous, but also with seizing the day. Was Ferris even real? A few suspect not. It would appear that Ferris is just a figment of his friend Cameron\u2019s imagination.<\/p>\n<p>Scratching the surface, it does make sense. Ferris gets away with just about anything but Cameron is petrified to toe the line of disobedience. However, Cameron\u2019s seeming alter ego Ferris would allow him to live out his wildest dreams that he wouldn&#8217;t dare get involved in ordinarily. It\u2019s why he has to be convinced to go into the city and wreak havoc when he\u2019s ill.<\/p>\n<p>It might be that Cameron never left his room at all \u201d\u201c it could be that all of it was part of his imagination. Maybe Cameron was really sick all along, and his best friend singing <em>Twist and Shout<\/em> on a float in Chicago occurred in his mind as he slept off his fever.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/V-zXT5bIBM0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Frozen has a dark inspiration<\/h3>\n<p>In a fairly insane twist of fate, it\u2019s been suggested that Disney\u2019s mammoth success <em>Frozen<\/em> is inspired by Stephen King\u2019s <em>The Shining<\/em>. It\u2019s farfetched, but it might just work.<\/p>\n<p>The Overlook Hotel and Arrendale are set in a mountain landscape. Elsa represents Jack as a menacing character who puts their loved ones into danger. They both become more difficult due to their isolation in a cold landscape. Anna mimics Danny as an innocent bystander who spends long periods of time in the hallways (like when Anna asks Elsa if she\u2019d like to build a snowman\u201d\u00a6)<\/p>\n<p>Wendy is seen to be Olaf, as a goofy character whereas Grady is Hans from <em>Frozen<\/em>. The exist scenes draw similarities and both have an icy ending \u201d\u201c but as <em>Frozen<\/em> is a Disney film, it\u2019s got a happy one!<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/S014oGZiSdI\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Was the moon landing faked?<\/h3>\n<p>The validity of the moon landing has come into question over the years, but certain theorists are able to pin point that one man could have orchestrated the whole thing \u201d\u201c Stanley Kubrick.<\/p>\n<p>Kubrick is a well-renowned director, and it\u2019s thought that he was approached by NASA to find the \u201d\u02dclandings\u2019. Kubrick filmed <em>2001: A Space Odyssey<\/em> which is allegedly the tie between the moon landings and Kubrick\u2019s involvement.<\/p>\n<p>It is thought that Kubrick uses little clues, littered within <em>The Shining<\/em>, to confirm his involvement in staging the hoax moon landing. Slight references like Danny\u2019s jumper, emblazoned with Apollo 11, or the prominence of eagles to represent NASA (and bears to represent the Russians). The room number is altered from the book, too, to further confirm the theory. In the Stephen King novel, the infamous room number is 217 but it\u2019s altered to 237 to reference the distance between the moon and the earth (in thousands of miles).<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/xItITCJfM3E\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Toy Story 3\u2019s tragic symbolism<\/h3>\n<p>Plenty of times over the years, Disney films have been linked to darker meanings. Post-apocalyptic worlds, deaths and tragedy are prominent in these theories. Perhaps the darkest of them all, is the theory about the third instalment of the <em>Toy Story<\/em> franchise.<\/p>\n<p><em>Toy Story 3<\/em> is meant to portray the Holocaust. That is seen through: the abandonment of the toys at the daycare centre that they aren\u2019t accustomed to (believed in this article to represent <a href=\"https:\/\/medium.com\/@RyTheories\/toy-story-3-was-the-holocaust-5cff90577837\">Dachau<\/a>), the trip there as well as Buzz\u2019s idea of hiding in an attic \u201d\u201c a reference to Anne Frank.<\/p>\n<p>The abuse of the toys at the hands of the toddlers and the furnace scene tie up this sad reference.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ZW0DfsCzfq4\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Did Sandy drown?<\/h3>\n<p>Theory suggests that the ever-popular <em>Grease<\/em>, the coming of age musical that sees the virginal Sandy becoming a woman, is another one of those that didn\u2019t exist.<\/p>\n<p>It would appear the entirety of <em>Grease<\/em> is actually all imagined by Sandy when she\u2019s in a coma. During the track <em>Summer Nights<\/em>, Danny quips that he had saved Sandy\u2019s life and she \u201cnearly drowned\u201d\u009d. It\u2019s thought that it was much more serious than that, and she ended up in a coma.<\/p>\n<p>While in the coma, Sandy dreams up this amazing year in Rydell High as her brain is starved of oxygen. As time continues to pass, things become a bit more outlandish (like the iconic \u201cTell me about it, Stud\u201d\u009d scene) as Sandy drifts off to her death.<\/p>\n<p>At the end of the film, Sandy and Danny drive off into the sunset \u201d\u201c only, the car begins to float into the sky. A little strange, isn\u2019t it? That car ride is taking Sandy into Heaven as she dies.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/5K83Ix1R9Mc\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Peter Pan is the Angel of Death<\/h3>\n<p>Peter Pan\u2019s eternal youth is believed be down to the fact he is actually an angel. That means, however, that the Darling children are dead.<\/p>\n<p>Peter takes their hands to lead them to Neverland which is actually heaven as they\u2019ve passed away. Even more sinister, Peter is meant to \u201d\u02dckill off\u2019 lost boys as they grew up to become adults. Hook and co. escaped from this fate, becoming pirates \u201d\u201c allegedly.<\/p>\n<p>It has been suggested that Peter Pan and his ability to never grow old is linked to a personal tragedy in author J. M. Barrie\u2019s life. When Barrie was 6 years old, his older brother David died on the cusp of his 14<sup>th<\/sup> birthday in an ice skating accident. Barrie and his mother were devastated by the loss, but his mother Margaret took comfort in the fact that her child would remain a boy forever \u201d\u201c quite like Peter Pan.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/tSVeDx9fk60\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">The many meanings of Groundhog Day<\/h3>\n<p>The film <em>Groundhog Day<\/em>, starring Bill Murray, has been interpreted in a number of ways. Fan theories have some cross over, but it\u2019s believed that Phil (Murray) is actually dead.<\/p>\n<p><em>Groundhog Day<\/em> shows Phil\u2019s life on a time loop, reliving the same day over and over again so he knows how it\u2019s going to pan out. He goes rogue to do his own thing but then also uses his time more wisely, to help others. Phil wakes up in the same motel in Punxsatawney as it symbolises purgatory.<\/p>\n<p>Phil meets the Devil in the form of a former school friend, Ned Ryerson. The salesman is trying to get Phil to sign up to life insurance \u201d\u201c or so it seems. His plan is to get Phil to sign over his soul so he can spend the rest of his days in Hell.<\/p>\n<p>Reliving the same day over and over again takes its toll on Phil who attempts suicide, but he continues in the time loop because he\u2019s already dead.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/oYTfYsODWQo\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">River Phoenix is a conspiracy theorist<\/h3>\n<p>River Phoenix was tipped to become one of Hollywood\u2019s most prolific stars in the 1990s, having earned his crust in <em>Stand By Me<\/em> and <em>Running On Empty<\/em>. However, Phoenix\u2019s life was cut short at just 23 years old, following a drug overdose. His death was well publicised, having collapsed outside of Johnny Depp\u2019s club, The Viper Room.<\/p>\n<p>As is the case when young stars destined for greatness burn out at a young age, questions are raised regarding the death and its circumstances. River Phoenix is said to have hated Hollywood and wasn\u2019t into the drug culture that came along with it. If he was open about his distaste for drugs, how could he fall victim to a fatal overdose?<\/p>\n<p>One theory is that River Phoenix faked it all. Like plenty of others who die unexpectedly, it\u2019s alleged that Phoenix faked his death in order to escape the pitfalls of Hollywood. Rather than living a quiet life, it\u2019s been suggested that River went on to become conspiracy theorist Mark Dice.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/_ChPTKPzB4I\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">The Joker is a war veteran<\/h3>\n<p>Heath Ledger\u2019s portrayal of the Joker in <em>The Dark Knight<\/em> is iconic. <em>The Dark Knight<\/em> was the highest grossing film of 2008 and is widely believed to be one of the best films of the 21<sup>st<\/sup> century \u201d\u201c thanks, in part, to Ledger\u2019s work.<\/p>\n<p>The villainous Joker is a smart man \u201d\u201c there\u2019s no doubt \u201d\u201c but one theory suggests that maybe he had much more intel than we give him credit for. His ability to take on and almost defeat Batman raises suspicion that The Joker might actually be a war veteran. He\u2019s got skills when it comes to fighting and he\u2019s able to overpower a door guard, something the average man probably wouldn\u2019t be able to manage.<\/p>\n<p>The precision of his planning also gives the impression he has a higher knowledge, linking him to a role within the army or maybe even a spy. He knows more than most when it comes to the \u201d\u02dcsystem\u2019 and he has a resistance to interrogation \u201d\u201c potentially as he\u2019s already aware of how it all works.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Do you believe any of these theories?
