The movie "The Dark Crystal" was also about adrenochrome.
If you look beyond the surface plot, a lot of movies have these themes.
This is known as "revelation of the method": their weird mollach religion has a twisted view on karma where they believe blame and wrongdoings can be spiritually nullified or transferred through speech, imagery and 'warnings', no matter how cryptic.
Only all moves, which allows each one within to respond to being moved. A movie implies a "moving picture", while a picture implies a "captured moment"...responding to that tempts matter (life) to ignore the momentum (inception towards death) of motion.
The brainwash component refers to com (together) ponere (to place) aka holding onto a captured moment, while the momentum of nature washes through the brain of each being.
Motion liquefies any solid; movies solidify solids, which makes it harder to resist (living) liquefaction (dying).
Who watches movies? The audience/audentia/au (to perceive), yet watching a captured moment (picture) being artificially moved (movie) tempts perception to watch suggestion.
