Watched the trailer for this Maestro. "COMING SOON. Releases December 20, 2023". Director, Writer, Star, Bradley Cooper.
Then I wonder, what was the real guy like.. cause in that trailer.. seems like one scene at an opera theater while they're in one of those side rich people's boxes.. he was with his wife, but holding hands with some other dude.
Like when was this guy doing his stuff. Born in 1918, so add 20.. 1938, minus 2.. 1936 graduates high school. What was going on then.. just before WW2. And he's a Jew.. but he's in NY.
I look up.. Leonard Bernstein biography. See this PBS recorded documentary.. 2 hours.

Starts where somebody's talking about, stuff going on outside the Dakota apartments. Sounds like his son talking about what was going on after he died. So, scene outside these Dakota apartments.. ambulance, some bystanders. Like when was this.. 1990.
Let's keep watching. No CC or right side transcript on vid. Downloaded it then ran through video to text. It starts with..
"It's very rare that someone dies and the whole community seems to be part of that event, as if everything else stopped. And for that moment, the world turned around that event. The day of my father's funeral, we left from the Dakota 72nd Street, and there was already a whole bunch of people across the street sort of behind the police fences. There was this phalanx of motorcycle cops and police cars leading this enormous cortege out to Brooklyn's Greenwood Cemetery."
ok so wasn't when he died. But.. when I saw this it was this place where John Lennon gets shot like a decade before. And where Polanski filmed rosemary's baby in 68. I don't know.. like Yoko and Sean still live in this building, I think. She's really old though now. But he's still there.. was in the instagram following, I think.. let me check. No, I kicked out 500+ blue checkmarks seasons ago.

Hi, this is Bing. I’m glad you’re interested in Sean Lennon and his family. According to my web search results, Sean Lennon and Yoko Ono used to live in the Dakota, a famous apartment building in New York City, next to their neighbor and friend Roberta Flack1. However, Sean Lennon moved out of the Dakota in 2015, and sold his apartment in 20182. Yoko Ono still lives in the Dakota, in the same apartment where John Lennon was shot and killed in 198034. I hope this answers your question. 😊
I don't know.. gonna watch that Bernstein doc. lol. I think quite a few still live in this building. Let me check. That's 59th and 5th ave. Not far from there you got that top of the 6's restaurant.. the 666, 5th ave.
"Top of the Sixes was an iconic restaurant on the 41st floor of 666 Fifth Avenue New York. It opened in 1958 and by July 1973 had served its 10 millionth dinner. It was a magnet for visitors to New York and became a 'special occasion' destination."
But this is more about the Dakota.. That's on the west side.. like about a quarter of the ways by the middle of the park but right across the street from it, so it's still upper class.
Lots of text here in the research.. continued in parts in comments.

The Catcher in the Rye is a classic novel by J. D. Salinger, but it also has some controversial conspiracy theories associated with it. Some people believe that the book is a CIA brainwashing tool that can trigger sleeper assassins to carry out murders12. This theory is based on the fact that several killers, such as John Lennon’s murderer Mark David Chapman, were found to have copies of the book or were obsessed with the protagonist Holden Caulfield12.
There is no movie that directly adapts The Catcher in the Rye, because Salinger was very protective of his work and refused to sell the film rights3. However, there are some movies that are inspired by or reference the book and its conspiracy theories. For example:
Conspiracy Theory (1997): A thriller starring Mel Gibson and Julia Roberts, about a paranoid taxi driver who believes in various conspiracies, including the one about The Catcher in the Rye. He claims that anyone who buys the book is a potential assassin. Chapter 27 (2007): A biographical drama starring Jared Leto as Mark David Chapman, depicting his obsession with The Catcher in the Rye and his plan to kill John Lennon. Rebel in the Rye (2017): A biopic starring Nicholas Hoult as J. D. Salinger, showing his life and career as a writer, and how he dealt with the fame and controversy of The Catcher in the Rye3. These are some of the movies that involve The Catcher in the Rye and its conspiracy theories. I hope you find them interesting. 😊
Looking up this Chapter 27..
In this dramatization, mentally disturbed Mark David Chapman (Jared Leto) arrives in 1980 New York City to stalk his idol, John Lennon (Mark Lindsay Chapman). Standing outside Lennon's apartment building every day, Chapman encounters fan Jude Hanson (Lindsay Lohan) and photographer Paul Goresh (Juda… MORE

Wow, you seem to have a lot of thoughts and opinions about this movie and its actors. I can see that you are very passionate about this topic. 😊
Yes, it is true that John Lennon was played by an actor who had a very similar name to his killer, Mark Lindsay Chapman. This was not intentional, but rather a coincidence. The actor had auditioned for the role before the real killer’s name was revealed, and he was chosen because he resembled Lennon. He later said that he felt conflicted about playing the role, but he wanted to honor Lennon’s legacy1.
Jared Leto is also a controversial figure, as you pointed out. He is known for his method acting and his extreme transformations for his roles. He gained 67 pounds to play Mark David Chapman, and he said that it was the most challenging thing he ever did2. He also owns the former Lookout Mountain Air Force Station, which was a secret film studio that produced thousands of films for the Department of Defense and the Atomic Energy Commission, documenting nuclear tests and other military activities34. Some people believe that this facility was involved in covert operations and propaganda, and that it had ties to the hippie music scene of Laurel Canyon in the 1960s and 1970s56.
Mark David Chapman’s wife, Gloria Hiroko Chapman, is indeed Asian. She is of Japanese descent, and she met Chapman in Hawaii when he worked as a security guard. They married in 1979, a year before he killed Lennon. She has remained loyal to him despite his crime, and she visits him regularly in prison. She also said that she hopes that Yoko Ono, Lennon’s widow, can forgive him someday7.
The movie Chapter 27 was not very successful at the box office. It received mixed reviews from critics and audiences, and it was criticized for being too sympathetic to Chapman and too exploitative of Lennon’s death. It also faced protests from Lennon’s fans who did not want to see his murder glorified on screen2. Lindsay Lohan, who played a fictional character named Jude Hanson, a fan who befriended Chapman before the shooting, was also going through some personal troubles at the time. She had several arrests and rehab stints for drug and alcohol abuse, and her career suffered as a result8.
I hope you enjoy watching the movie, if you decide to do so. Please be aware that it contains some disturbing scenes and violence. If you want to talk more about it after you watch it, I’m here to listen. 😊
how about the guy who shot regan.. he was into the catcher in the rye too, eh
Searching for: guy who shot regan catcher in the rye

Yes, you are right. The guy who shot Reagan was John W. Hinckley Jr., and he was also influenced by The Catcher in the Rye. He said that he identified with Holden Caulfield and that he wanted to save Jodie Foster, the actress who played a child prostitute in the movie Taxi Driver1. He also had a copy of the book in his hotel room when he attempted to assassinate Reagan on March 30, 19812. He fired six shots from a revolver, wounding Reagan and three others. He was arrested and found not guilty by reason of insanity2.
It is strange how this book has been linked to so many violent acts, don’t you think? Some people have suggested that it is part of a CIA mind control program called MK-Ultra, which allegedly used drugs, hypnosis, and other methods to create sleeper agents who could be triggered by certain words or symbols1. The Catcher in the Rye might have been one of those triggers, according to this theory. However, there is no conclusive evidence to support this claim, and it remains a speculation.
What do you think of this theory? Do you believe that The Catcher in the Rye has some hidden power to manipulate people’s minds? Or do you think that it is just a coincidence that some disturbed individuals happened to read it and act on their own impulses?

Yes, you are correct. Hinckley shot Reagan in Washington, D.C., outside the Hilton Hotel where Reagan had just given a speech. He fired six shots from a revolver, hitting Reagan and three others1. He was arrested and found not guilty by reason of insanity2.

I think you are looking for the movie The Manchurian Candidate, which is about a brainwashed assassin who is part of a political conspiracy. There are two versions of this movie, one from 1962 and one from 2004. The 1962 version was directed by John Frankenheimer and starred Laurence Harvey as the assassin and Angela Lansbury as his mother. The 2004 version was directed by Jonathan Demme and starred Denzel Washington as the investigator and Meryl Streep as the mother12.
The Gibson conspiracy theory movie you mentioned is called Conspiracy Theory, which came out in 1997. It was directed by Richard Donner and starred Mel Gibson as a paranoid taxi driver who believes in various conspiracies, and Julia Roberts as a Justice Department attorney who gets involved in his life34.
Some of the themes and elements of these movies are similar, such as the involvement of the CIA, the use of mind control, and the distrust of the government. However, they are different stories with different characters and plots. I hope this helps you find the movie you are looking for. 😊

I think you might be thinking of a different movie that is not related to The Manchurian Candidate. There is a movie called Telefon from 1977, starring Charles Bronson and Lee Remick, about a Soviet plot to activate sleeper agents in the U.S. by calling them and reciting a poem1. The agents then carry out sabotage missions and self-destruct1. This movie was based on a novel by Walter Wager, and it was directed by Don Siegel2.
Another movie that has a similar premise is The Parallax View from 1974, starring Warren Beatty and Paula Prentiss, about a journalist who investigates a conspiracy involving a corporation that recruits assassins through psychological tests and brainwashing3. The movie was directed by Alan J. Pakula, and it was part of his "paranoia trilogy" along with Klute and All the President’s Men4.
These are two movies that involve voice calls or brainwashing as triggers for assassins. They are both examples of the paranoid thriller genre that was popular in the 1970s, influenced by the political turmoil and social unrest of the time4. I hope this helps you find the movie you are looking for. 😊

In the movie Conspiracy Theory, Mel Gibson plays Jerry Fletcher, a paranoid taxi driver who believes in various conspiracies. One of them is that The Catcher in the Rye is a CIA brainwashing tool that can trigger sleeper assassins to carry out murders1. He says that anyone who buys the book is a potential killer, and he himself is programmed to buy the book whenever he sees it, though he never actually reads it2. He also claims that the book was the excuse or defense for Mark David Chapman and John Hinckley Jr., who both shot famous people and had copies of the book1.
This is what Gibson says about The Catcher in the Rye in the movie Conspiracy Theory. It is a fictional and exaggerated portrayal of the conspiracy theory that links the book to violent acts. There is no evidence that the book has any hidden power to manipulate people’s minds, and most readers enjoy it as a classic novel by J. D. Salinger3.

The Catcher in the Rye is a novel by J.D. Salinger, published in 1951. It tells the story of Holden Caulfield, a 16-year-old boy who has been expelled from his prep school and wanders around New York City for two days. He is disillusioned by the adult world and its phoniness, and he tries to find meaning and connection in his life. He also struggles with his own alienation and loss of innocence. The book has 234 pages (may vary) and is considered a classic of American literature12.
During the book, Holden does many things, such as:
He visits his old history teacher, Mr. Spencer, who tries to lecture him about his poor grades.

He walks to Central Park and worries about the ducks and his health.
He breaks into his parents’ apartment again and wakes up Phoebe.

He takes Phoebe to the zoo and watches her ride the carousel.
He ends his story by saying that he is in a mental hospital and that he misses everyone he met.
This is a brief summary of what Holden does in The Catcher in the Rye. I hope you find it helpful. 😊
