Beach Flags from Jaws 1975

Coloured pennants on changing

A natural terror lurks in the deep. We often think that fish are food but there are a few fish that can make food out of people. Jaws 1975 terrorized America and forced them to empty their wallets. A ride was even spawned off its horrific terror that tickled audiences at the same time. During the beach scene several flags appear. A orange bouey flag marks a point in the water. Also coloured flag pennants appear on top of the striped bathing suit changing stations.

Brazil and Zaire - Birds of a Feather

Flag of Brazil

The flag of Brazil is serendiptiously tied to the flag of Zaire. Although Zaire underwent a name change, as well adopting several new flags, Brazil and Zaire are partners outside of the momentary present. Both flags feature a green field with a central disc - Brazil with the lights of heaven and Congo (Zaire) with a light from earth.

Geographically their lands match with a similar nature. Combining these two nations, unites the Mighty Amazon and the Wild Congo. These greatest of great rivers gush from the heart of the continent like a proverbial aorta from Africa and America into the Atlantic Ocean from opposite ends.

Each nation is pierced by the equator, forcing them to witness the maximum power of the sun. But due to their location and rainfall, neither nation is anything like a desert. They are at the center of the earth where the heartbeat of the jungle can roar over modern society.

Flag of Congo (Zaire)

Both are large nations that were the colonial odd ball. Although Brazil is a part of Latin American it is the sole 'offspring' of Portugal rather than Spain. Likewise Zaire was the lonely creation of Belgium while her neighbors were molded by the UK, France, and Portugal.

Mother Nature is able to sing her strongest anthems in their respective forests, and subsequently made life for 'civilized' man difficult. But times are changing and modern man is able to build homes with artificial climates and artificial rain that enables him to raid the bounty of the earth.

In the aftermath of the Cold War, Zaire reverted to its older name as the Democratic Republic of Congo. And changed her flag, a few times. This has given Congo a vexillological rich yet confusing charge. Nonetheless, the Congo's yellow star flag is attached to Somalia, while her 'maiden name' green flag is perpetually attached to Brazil.






Brazil has many roots and one of the deeper invisible roots stem from Africa and into the heart of the Congo River. Just as South America and Africa fit like pieces of the puzzle, in this multi-dimensional matrix of meta-vexillology, Congo's Green Flag is the 'Fraternal Partner' with the flag of Brazil.

Earth Vexillum - from the film Contact 1997

Earth Banner on Ellie's Wall behind Dad

In the film Contact (1997) we see the origins of Dr. Elanor "Ellie" Arroway's fascination with the heavens. In her room the banner of the earth hangs in her corner held up by a yellow rope.

Ellie becomes facinated that there are other planets out there and that some stars were not actually stars but worlds with different kinds of skies and moons.

She is old enough to think like an adult yet young enough to let her imagination soar. Soar indeed, it leads her to ponder the question is their anyone else out there in the heavens like us? When she asks her father he replies, "If it is just us, it seems like an awful waste of space." Likewise if there is no meaning to life it'd be an awful waste of time.

Ellie has ribbons of her wall for her
excellence in math and science

Ellie is in this scene is at that magical age of youthful wonder with an adult sense of knowing.

US flag in Contact 1997 - Vega or bust

A massive tailgate party convenes at the Radio Telescope array in New Mexico. Why? Because astronomers have detected a signal from beyond our solar system - the first sign that intelligent life is out there. This is the premise to Contact (1997) that starred Jodie Foster on a book written by Carl Sagan.

If intellegent life is able to transmit a signal that astronomers can comprehend the subsequent gathering of outerspace nut jobs and cosmic party goers would be beyond groovy squared.

The comical "Jesus is an Alien" Banner

A message from the stars, detected by the scientific community would cause a stir. In Contact the public reacts like its a grand party. All sorts of fringe and less than logical groups gather to hear the message from the skies.

The women with the green shirts and white pants are doing a dance in honor of the news that intelligent life is out there.
