I know that in two days, I will definitely not have the passion and patience to finish reading Alessandro's literary trilogy, so today I forced myself to watch "Holy Mountain" as if I was pinching my nose and pouring medicine. As expected, if you don't have a wealth of astrology knowledge, you don't have a wide-ranging and strong interest in religion, and you have some slander about the attitude of narcissism, (that is to say, like me), it is recommended not to touch it again. this film. It's better to go for a swim, take a walk, or watch Bergman's film. This film is full of the director's narcissism and show-off emotions. Except for "Fandor", the remaining two films in a row are really enough.

"This is a sacred film" "Cinema is the greatest art" "I want this movie to change human beings" "I liked when I was young, he had great ideals"...Directing every time When I heard these remarks in the interview, I really couldn't bear it.
I still remember that he once said that the New York Times had severely criticized his film, but many people wrote to criticize it, as if the New York Times had to re-publish a comment, a voice of praise. But in the New York Times: this is a great movie, a monumental work, amazing and all that kind of general language. I find it worrying how many people who like to claim to like can interpret the director's intentions. At least, for most moviegoers, that's it.

Fortunately, the literary trilogy is just a trilogy, and if there is one more, I may collapse in the endless boredom. Great, that's all over.
