A Fourth Turning Tale – The Kelly Green Colour Revolution…

Dear Reader, I have been saying it for years – see Clicky’s posts here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, and here – but yesterday, narrative guru Walter Kirn on X nailed the naming of the colour revolution that we’ve all being subjected to…

… Kelly Green, it is a Pantone

… And, as we’ve been noticing at the LoL for the past few years, there has been a confluence of ‘green’ during this Fourth Turning:

That’s a lot of clicking, Dear Reader, but as the famous Irish (green) comedian used to say, ‘there’s more‘…

… One of my favourite films has a lead character called Kathleen Kelly. What does ‘Kelly’ mean?

… Which makes sense…

… as ‘You’ve Got Mail’ came out in 1999, along with another film that was completely enveloped in green, capturing imaginations from it’s very first scene. So much so, that people think it’s their reality…

… And was directed by brothers who became sisters (trans). So, I’m now starting to think that this Fourth Turning started earlier than originally thought, with the 2000 Dot-com crash (money), quickly followed in 2001 with the infamous attack on 9/11 (blamed on Islam)…

… Which would mean that this Fourth Turning revolution is a colour revolution and is now already 25 years in duration. That brings us back to Mark…

… So, perhaps this Fourth Turning is approaching its end, Dear Reader… Or am I just being green about it? Have a Song…

  1. I should have known… ‘Eyes Wide Shut’ – another 1999 film…

     An international co-production between the United Kingdom and United States,[2] principal photography of Eyes Wide Shut began in late 1996 in England, with a detailed recreation of exterior Greenwich Village street scenes built at Pinewood Studios.

    Until they enter Domino’s flat, the lighting in this scene is green and again when it cuts to Alice…

    The people in the Matrix system have eyes wide shut…

    1. ‘You’ve Got Mail’ – also based in New York but on the Westside – the Kelly Green Colour Revolution is on the ‘West’. Then there’s the green mermaid providing a sense of worth to people who don’t know what they’re doing or who they are…

      … The film’s poster has a green background…

      1. So, ‘You’ve Got Mail’ came out in the US in Dec 1998 (UK 1999). It was made by Warner Brothers, as were ‘The Matrix’ and ‘Eyes Wide Shut’. Other Warner Brothers movies in 1999 include:

        ‘Message In A Bottle’…

        …’The Green Mile’… Hanks again…

        … ‘Liberty Heights’…

        1. Not Warner Brothers but ‘Magnolia’ was also out in 1999 and has a green tinge to it…

    1. Thanks, James 😀 I had all the green strands, but I’m just glad I saw Walter Kirn’s tweet.
