There is another world behind this world far away from us, and the relationship between these two worlds is like the relationship between the backstage and the set on the backstage curtain sometimes seen in the theater, through the hanging sea The veil, people seem to really see a world full of fog, a more light and ethereal world, the essence of this world is completely different from the essence of the real world. [Please forgive my borrowing doctrine (from Kierkegaard's "Notes of a Seducer")]
This world is called the heart, and they are the people who live in the heart. They are completely inconsistent with or even against the wishes of others. To think, to create, is out of tune with your own body and the outside world; they will honestly tell everyone: "It's not the movie you want to make, don't make it, it will be a disgusting joke." They are exactly the card. Fuka, David Lynch, through their works, we can touch the internal structure and mechanism, even the subtle meridians are clearly discernible. The man who lives in the heart is the same flag, a flag of distinction, a flag that keeps away from the crowd... We will even think of more people, Gauguin, Matisse, Picasso, and Alessandro Roy Jodorowski and his Mole.
We can superficially define The Mole as a Cult Film, a Western satire, a bloody, terrifying, violent, and even erotic film, if it wasn't for Elle Tabor being imprisoned in The Octagon, it's not that the lamb used for sacrifice was taken as Jesus, it's not the five "Jesus wounds" that El Tabor suffered after his revenge, you can't realize that this film brings you not only Only the stimulation of the senses... more from a time bomb carefully placed by the director, giving your heart a fatal shock. The chair is in the shape of a "T", which represents the tarot card; honey and bees symbolize the sacred language; the rabbit represents reproduction, representing simple life, and the eyes and triangular symbol represent God. These religious metaphors are particularly prominently presented in the film...and it is not just a religious film, but an autobiographical film, not historical data, but fiction.
"Today, I was knocked over like water, my bones were completely shattered, and now my heart is paraffin, slowly melting in the depths of my heart, my tongue is firmly against my palate, I Lying among the corpses, my God, why did you abandon me, why don't you come to save my soul, and ignore my moans, oh my God, when I'm sad and weeping during the day, you don't do it Any answer, at night when I cry bitterly, my heart is still sad, there is no consolation.
Show me the way, my lord, let me hear your voice, lead me to the truth, make me accept you You are God, my savior. I am waiting for you every moment. You will guide the fishermen, and you will lead us to the final judgment.
" After committing sins, deeply repent, then pray for rebirth, and want to escape to another world. In that world, we would rather believe that everything will change and the spirit will rise with it. When the film goes to "Hymn", it really enters into the process of the director's self-examination and self-reflection. Al Tabo left his selfish world and was reborn in another world. He became the incarnation of the four masters in revenge. constantly evolving. As if he had become a true spirit, he stood for strength, for redemption, for peace...compassion and wisdom, value, what gathered in El Tabor finally rescued a group of imprisoned gnomes by digging underground passages (Vulnerable groups) to achieve spiritual salvation, and those dwarfs who escaped eventually fell under the muzzle of the wicked. At this time, El Tabor's real revenge, - Dante's "Double Vengeance" ”, which has only just begun...and this is the finishing touch of the whole film: El Tabor triumphs over death.
At the end of the film, after "Double Vengeance", El Tabor's life has no meaning for him, so he ignites himself with an oil lamp... Bees build a hive on El Tabor's grave. His efforts were not in vain, his corpse nourished all mankind, and his will to live was in the service of something. Outside of the film, the director told us: "The world is sick, we need to create films that can heal the world, if art is not a good medicine for society, then it is poison. When I created this film, I was A body that is moving forward with life, now, I am a body that is beginning to stay away from life, and I will not be able to live for long. Since I am away from life, I will not send too much to others, all I can give is It's only for myself, and what I can't give, I'll ignore."
Looking back, compared with David Lynch's words, the two are very similar in meaning.
