Polanski’s Komeda

Krzysztof Komeda vol.14.jpg Krzysztof Komeda was best known as the composer for the early films of director Roman Polanski.  His life was cut short by a fatal accidental injury which took his life on April 23, 1969.  Some called it part of the “Rosemary’s Baby” curse.   //ericreports.com/2016/02/04/curse-of-rosemarys-baby/

The first time I heard one of Komeda’s scores was in MGM’s “The Fearless Vampire Killers” (Or; Pardon Me, but Your Teeth are in my Neck (1967.)  In this dark-humored farce, Polanski (as Alfred) is irresistibly drawn by the beautiful charms of Sarah (Sharon Tate.)  The music is a quasi-baroque theme matched perfectly by the ironic conclusion.

Next, Paramount’s “Rosemary’s Baby” (1968).  Like Hitchcock, Roman Polanski inserts comedy among the grimmest of circumstances.  The opening lullaby (composed by Beethoven) is sung by Mia Farrow, eerily foretelling the proceedings.  (Plot:  A chic Manhattan couple find themselves amidst a coven of witches in the famed Dakota apartment building.)

Komeda’s last work was for “Riot” (1969), starring Jim Brown and Gene Hackman.  The director was Buzz Kulik.  Komeda wrote the music for “100 Years”.  Lyric by Robert Wells.

Who knows what direction Roman Polanski’s films would’ve taken if his favorite composer had lived?

Curse of Rosemary’s Baby

Rosemarys_baby_posterWho runs the world?  What if you were told there were a coalition of Satanists, behind the scenes, masquerading as our benevolent caretakers.  Would you believe me?

Back in 1968, Paramount released “Rosemary’s Baby” (based on Ira Levin’s novel), directed by then up-and-coming film director Roman Polanski.  The movie would become a phenomenal hit, the title a catchphrase everyone understood.  Some forty-eight years later, it’s still viewed with morbid fascination.

The Dakota Building aka “The Bramford”

Director Roman Polanski claims he doesn’t believe in the devil, yet the opening and closing sequences are shot from the devil’s point-of-view as he hovers over Manhattan.

His wife Sharon Tate was cast as an extra in the party scene.  She was murdered while pregnant on August 9, 1969.

 The mysterious apartment building known as “the Bramford” is really “the Dakota” where John Lennon was shot to death on Dec. 8, 1980.  (Dec. 9th in Liverpool – #9.)

Book connections:  “All of Them Witches” isn’t a real book, but is used as a device to warn Rosemary.  The movie is meant to take place in 1966.  In 1999, Polanski would direct another Satanic film titled “The Ninth Gate”, about a book that is able to bring forth the devil.  1933 – 1966 – 1999.  33 degrees.

Tony Curtis (who appeared with Tate in “Don’t Make Waves” a year earlier) does a voice-over as Donald Baumgart, an actor who goes blind from a witch’s curse.

    Robert Redford lost the role of Guy Woodhouse due to legal reasons.  John Cassavetes was cast instead.

  Mia-Farrow-Rosemary's-Baby-1968 (4) Tuesday Weld lost the role of Rosemary Woodhouse because Paramount preferred Mia Farrow.

Roman Polanski would go on to even greater fame for “Macbeth”, “Chinatown”, “The Tenant”, “Tess” and “The Pianist”.  (Academy Award winner for Best Director – 2002.)  He is forced to live in France because of his 1977 arrest for unlawful sexual relations with a minor.

The novel and movie alludes to a network or witches living in New York.  In the finale, the baby Adrian “the antichrist” is visited by devil-worshippers from all over the world.  The baby itself isn’t shown and his mother Rosemary seems ambivalent.  Today, he would be of age.

The mainstream media will never acknowledge the Luciferian agenda:  a New World Order born from the United Nations, i.e., a world dictatorship.
