‘Goodbye World’ – Propaganda Or Underlying Truth?
by Mark DeNicola
The Matrix, Eyes Wide Shut, Avatar and 1984 are just a few of the many examples of mainstream movies that have pushed the stereotypical boundaries in regards to subject matter and underlying meaning in films. Although every film to potentially do this is completely subjective to each viewers interpretation of the movie, they definitely do stand out from the bulk of what is made and shown in theaters. The newest film, soon to be released, that may just fall under the same category is ‘Goodbye World‘ a feature directed by Dennis Hennelly, and starring Adrian Grenier (Entourage). Check out the trailer and see what you think…

The film is slated to hit US theaters in April of this year, so it’s difficult to discuss the true intention behind the film, particularly if the goal of the filmmakers – and all those behind its creation – is to help build awareness towards certain issues or to serve as a tool of propaganda.
Based on the trailer, there are several key issues that seem like they will be addressed within the film that I felt really stood out:
Cyberattack/ Mass Text Message
With so much light recently being shed on the NSA in both the mainstream and alternative news, it really comes as no surprise that the apparent “apocalypse” instigator within the film is technology based. A mass text message seems to be the initial source of what eventually ripples into a loss of utilities and widespread panic. It should be interesting to see whether the film elects to pin the “coordinated attack” (as stated in the trailer) on a terrorist group, like so many films before it, or whether it digs deeper into some of the current issues being discussed worldwide. For those interested in finding out more about the recent NSA related discoveries, you can read more HERE.
