    As an art student, I have probably paid homage to this film indefinitely. I don't want to talk about this film with empty words like doubt and rebellion against religion and Jesus, artistic expression with violence/sex/blood, the usual pantomime mode of Jordu who calls himself an atheist mystic, and satire of war. . The first movie that wanted me to write a long review and understand every frame. Busty surreal.. Kneeling to...

    A few days ago, I saw the storyboard of the director's version of "Dune" on duneinfo, and was surprised by the original design at the beginning. Therefore, I became interested in watching "Holy Mountain", and hoped to see more alternative ideas from the director. Sure enough, this film did not I am disappointed, the script is relatively complete and not very obscure, but the curious and bold content accounts for a large...

    20121226 @ home : There is no limit to cult films. Too many symbols and too many metaphors to understand~_~

    Although I wasn't happy with the last half hour, the first hour and a half were more than enough to offset any lack. Jodorowsky was a true philosopher among film...

    This movie is suitable to watch with wine. It can be said that the director deliberately uses his film and the identity of the star to guide the audience to express his thoughts on politics, society, religion, aesthetics and other aspects through various gorgeous and exaggerated surreal movie scenes. The film may seem difficult to understand, but as long as you think about the American society at the time and the hippie spirit that lingers on, you can understand the words and actions of the...

    Briefly analyze the metaphorical image inside

    The main plot line of the story is very simple, a group of ascetics abandon the worldly desires, the process of "ultimate". The complexity is the tone and metaphor. In the film, the director mixed all the "religious" elements of occultism, Buddhism, Christianity, witchcraft shaman and so on. In...

The Holy Mountain quotes

  • Drug Master: The Cross was a mushroom - and the mushroom was also the Tree of Good and Evil.

  • The Alchemist: The grave recieves you with love. Surrender yourself to the Earth. Return what was loaned to you. Give up your pleasure, your pain, your friends, your lovers, your life, your past, what you desire. You will know nothingness, it is the only reality. Don't be afraid, it's so easy to give. You're not alone, you have a grave. It was your first mother. The grave is the door to your rebirth. Now you will surrender the faithful animal you once called your body. Don't try to keep it, remember, it was a loan. Surrended your legs, your sex, your hair, your brain, your all. You no longer want to possess, possession is the ultimate pain. The earth covers your body, she came to cover you with love, because she is your true flesh. Now you are an open heart, open to receive your true essence your ultimate perfection. Your new body, which is the universe, the work of god. You will be born again, you will be real. you will be your own father, your own mother, your own child, your own perfection. Open your eyes, you are the earth, you are the green, you are the blue, you are the Aleph, you are the essence. Look at the flower, look at the flower, for the first time look at the flowers.
