It is more mysterious than the scenes of "Mole", more confusing than the plot of "Holy Blood", and 25 years before the departure after discovering the truth about the shooting world at the end of "Trumen's World", this is "Holy Mountain". The ultimate propositions filled with countless religious symbols, primitive worship, political opinions, the truth of life, and the truth of the world, with inexplicable confusion and ridicule, were shocking even at the moment when the director was thrown out of the shooting scene. Everyone is looking for the holy mountain. Hinduism has Mount Sumeru, Taoism has Kunlun Mountain, Himalaya has Karakoram Mountain, Holy Cross has Jewish Mystery Mountain waiting, and Zordu took the audience to climb to the top of the mountain. , But suddenly told the pilgrims that you are dreams, shadows, and photos. "Pull the camera back" and the entire shooting scene is exposed in front of the audience. At this moment, I really realized Zuodu's determination to confer the gods.

There are very few lines in the film. In fact, the few lines left make people confused. Watching this film feels like watching a mysterious masterpiece in Arabic a few centuries ago. You keep using your eyes. Watching the world, but knowing that you are just in the mist, a book about the essence of writing appears, but you can't walk into the secret and dangerous truth. You can tap the glass, but you can't break it. At this time, God's gift is also God's punishment. Even we think that someone who looks exactly like the male lead is the male lead, but in fact, he is just a stray kid who needs to be guided by the director.

The story tells a man who resembles Jesus, awakened by dwarfs and children throwing stones. When they got to the street, they found that the circus was using toads as missionaries and soldiers attacking each other. The man was made into countless images of Jesus, and he could only carry one of them in pain and continue searching. After being dragged onto a high tower, he met a warlock who could turn dung into gold, and used astrology to select seven people who could change the destiny of the country. Together with the servants of the warlock, ten people went to the legendary holy mountain to find longevity. The secret of not getting old.

Animals continue to show their shadows in the film. Sheep are once again bloody tied to the cross like "Mole". Toads die on the humanoid battlefield. People bathe with hippos, hounds are fighting, and cows are fighting. Busy mating. The appearance of each animal is accompanied by the image of human beings, and all kinds of animals can imitate the shadow of human beings. What is the difference between human instincts and animals. If it weren't for human beings to forcibly separate categories, when the world first opened up, apart from eating and being eaten, sex and non-sexuality, how could there be so many highs and lows between you and me.

When the soldiers killed the marchers frantically, blood of various colors emerged from the corpse. Pigments such as yellow, green, blue, etc. gush from the corpse. The intestine-like silk was pulled out, and the cauliflower was pulled out of the vagina. Countless colored balls flowed from the wound to the ground, and the excavated internal organs were actually two apples. Smashing the belly of a pregnant woman could dig out a large pot of soil. Stabbing a man to death is just cutting up the watermelon in his arms and the chest of a virgin. Can also dig out alive pigeons. The director is so crazy that he makes people feel goosebumps in a scene that is not bloody at all. Although the familiar flesh and blood has been replaced, the pain has not disappeared. This pain is a cannibalism between people. Life is great, so it should not be taken lightly; life is very small, and it is not enough for the universe. Even if you live for a long time, wouldn't it be the same for the pain, struggle and murder of these worlds? Is it a burden of another kind of sin?

The two beauties had their makeup removed, their heads shaved, and naked in their arms like newborn babies. Getting rid of material desires in the world is actually a step that many religions must go through, so they should not be deceived by appearances. But since the body is to be used as a skateboard and religious symbols are painted, is it more noble than the makeup that the general public loves? Being naked is pure, so why should there be uniform religious clothing? The seven disciples burned their money and dolls, trying to separate from the dunya, so what is the purpose of longevity? In the final analysis, people who are not sincere in their hearts can't understand the reason in a sack. If they are naturally enlightened and dressed in tacky mountaineering clothes, have they also discovered the truth that the essence of the world is a camera?

What are the people in the upper class doing? Seduction and fraud are the subject of almost everything, and of course, murder. Countless eye symbols appeared in the movie, and they looked at it as if they had not seen anything.

Mask dealers make all comfortable beds, clothing and masks. People can customize their favorite facial makeup. Behind the beauty and comfort, it is for sex and endless reproduction. Even dead people can make kisses and kisses through electronic products. Painting crosses and other actions confirm the proverb that life is like a play; weapons dealers make various weapons, people’s anger and resentment are vented, and even various religions and musical factions can have their own exclusive customization; the sex machine made by the artist is very interesting , Even the combined abstract paintings printed on various buttocks are not as interesting; toy manufacturers can simulate future hatred needs according to the government, and make children's toys on the condition of hating the enemy, and they will be happy when they grow up. Killing real toy objects; government consultants are being watched under terrible living conditions, trying to live a happy life; military officers use soldiers' testicles to gain their admiration; architects’ job is to design labyrinth-like buildings where each other can’t be found , And a coffin-shaped house for a hunky man who doesn’t need a family. The seven disciples that the warlock looked for did not know if they had referenced the famous seven deadly sins. But his imagination is even more lawless, sharp and thorough.

Disability is a must in these trilogy. In "Holy Blood", when the innocent deaf girl who walks a tightrope escapes at night, she encounters a scene where an old man slowly tears off her ears and forcibly pushes them into her mouth; in "Holy Mountain", the same is true. It was a similar scene: the young prostitute walked out of the church and scratched her head. The old man dug out his eyeballs and put them in her hands. As for the image of having fewer arms and legs or being a dwarf, it is even more commonplace. This is real people, real lives.

Exhaustion is always the lightest test in the process of searching. The disciples each struggled with their own demons. Various hallucinations tormented them, and the secrets that they usually knew or did not know were exposed on the top of the mountain. The only strange thing is that in the story, there is still the setting of the male and female partners in the end. The down-and-out cowboy in "Mole" is lost and gained. The thief who resembles Jesus in "Holy Mountain" is finally assigned to a woman who has been following him in search of the holy mountain. The boy in "Holy Blood" relies on the heroine. Strength can defeat the demons. So this director, who has been tortured by various secret symbols, hopes to be rescued through pure love in the end.

This cupping shot really surprised me, and I don’t know what it is used for in Latin America.

    I have never seen such a perverted, disgusting, absurd, satirical, magical movie. surprised.

    The director takes a lot of investment and enjoys high self-esteem, but the audience does not know why. Semiotics, religion, alchemy, astrology, tarot, spiritual practice. Dissolution ending. Do you think Jodorowsky himself is serious to those viewers who are serious about philosophical spirituality?
