I can&#39;t remember the details off hand but its a straight run. The gambling tables being the wheel, The loss of son and fight with his step son being the tower, the Dual being Justice. The final scene where is wife is signing cheques (leaving her mark) may be a reference to the Tau cross the Hebrew symbol associated with the 32nd path.

The blog discusses the reasons/purposes as to why? &#39;media programming output&#39; is so heavy ladened with &#39;religious/mystery religious/gnostic&#39; content (overtly &amp; covert), why it is delivered in this cultural imperialist way and the possible underlying purpose(s), if any? Appreciating this, is dependent on your own POV. I find your comment to pointless tbh. Good day to you...anyway.Horselover Phathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05166435780296983828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6076855809263297950.post-38870992138526273572014-03-29T04:21:15.474+00:002014-03-29T04:21:15.474+00:00Incidental, coincidental, and wishful thinking.<br /><br />Given enough time and motivation, you could show that any one of the Transformers films is littered with biblical references.
