The shock felt by a consequentialist

I really didn't expect that the film I accidentally watched would have such a big impact on me, and it's still impacting to this day. Looking back on the past and now, I should be an out-and-out consequentialist. Although I also agree with the importance of the process and feeling, in the final analysis, I still value the final result. I always feel that if the goal is not achieved, the process and the feeling are of little significance. Therefore, I am always worried because I am afraid of not meeting expectations, and I will be troubled even if there is a slight deviation from expectations. Until today, I watched "Jodorowsky's Dunes", what an idealistic person, who is so willing to give all his life and even sacrifice his life for an imagination. Even if you are so well prepared and your determination is so firm, you still can't realize your dream, but so what? Dune has never come true, but without Jodorowsky's Dune as a leader beyond the times, many classic sci-fi movies that are popular today may be just a bubble in parallel time and space. Open this movie, there is the shadow of the dunes; open that movie, there are also the shadows of the dunes. So, can it be said that Dune didn't come true? I am aware of my own narrowness and lack of imagination. In the past, I was staring at the only result I could imagine. But after tonight, I hope that I will always think of Jodorowsky. The gains and losses are all yess. When an action occurs, What kind of impact, what outcome, how could it be unique? How could it be all foreseen? To put it vulgarly, do your best, accept the result, and what you see is not necessarily the whole truth anyway. Like the thick manuscripts of Dune, although it did not become the ideal film of Jodorowsky, the countless details in it have become the cornerstone of science fiction movies, and have made countless movies that he believes in ideal. , is this not a dream come true?

    The haze of these days (especially when the woman was walking up the stairs last night) was swept away: completely cured by Jodorowsky! The process of him attacking those grotesque geniuses one by one is too funny and too loving hahaha~ Finding those who keep their minds expanding is the only joy in my interpersonal life.

    Dali, Moebius and Dan O'Bannon have long since returned to the West, and HR Giger passed away unexpectedly this year. . . Since this is always mentioned in the film and television circle, why not remake a movie before Mr. Zuo hangs up?

Jodorowsky's Dune quotes

  • Alejandro Jodorowsky: I wanted Mick Jagger to play Feyd-Rautha, a character. How am I going to contact this person who is not going to be impressed that I have the great power to make a movie? He is in the peak of his fame, of his glory. How? And I was invited to an event in Paris. It was a big gathering of the Parisian bourgeoisie and at the other side of the room, a big room, I don't know, maybe 150 square meters, was Mick Jagger. I saw him from a distance and I think he saw me and I saw him walking, he started walking. He started walking between the people and I then realized that he was coming to me. He crossed the room and he stood in front of me. And I told him, "I want you for my movie." And he said only one word, "Yes."

  • Alejandro Jodorowsky: Baron Harkonnen is a big, big monster who have anti-gravitational implants and he is in the air all the time because he is too, too heavy. Orson Welles. Orson Welles had a bad reputation because they said that he liked to drink and eat so much that he ate at the movies. He ate a lot, and then he did not finish the movies, he was moody. But I said, "No, Orson Welles is a genius, he is the one." And since he liked to eat they say he goes to the gastronomic restaurants in Paris. Therefore, I sent a secretary to ask in all the gastronomic restaurants in Paris: "Where does Orson Welles eat?" And we discovered a restaurant and then he was eating. Six bottles of wine. He was eating. And then I asked to the chef "What is the best wine he want?" He say, "That." Then, "Send him a bottle." And then, he drink the bottle and he want to speak to me. And then, I speak with all the respect, because was for me was an idol. He say, " I don't want to do it. I don't want any more." I say to him, "I will propose something. If you do the picture, even if we pay what you want as an actor, I will hire the chef of this restaurant and you will eat, as here, every day." And he say, "I do it."
