holy mountain and life

I originally wrote a short review, but after reviewing the film, I felt that the film contained too much information, so I recorded my thoughts.

The film takes "Jesus" as the protagonist, which is a symbol of religion's domestication of human beings, abstracting desire as an externally disabled and weak entity, which is also its symbol. The police shoot the people, the blood and animals that pour out are a symbol of their freedom and beauty, the police rape the people, the people are proud of it, it is a satire to the government and the people, "the people hand over their rights to the government, the government asks people's names for pleasure, the people Because of the relationship with it, stay happy". The media is unscrupulous, only traffic comes first. Both the lizard and the sculpture of selling Jesus used Jesus to achieve the purpose of propaganda, which is a satire of its business, and the war of the lizard is a man-made manipulation. When selling the statue of Jesus, Jesus carried his statue on his back as a symbol of compassion for himself. When he carried the statue back to the real church, it was full of warfighters and people dancing, and the candlesticks that really worshiped Jesus were already covered with dust. , and Jesus is sleeping with the Archbishop, which is a satire of his religion and politics.

He swallowed the sculpture that symbolized himself, with pity and anger. At this time, his lover was attracted to him and followed him. The monkey that his lover carried was a symbol of primitive desire, a symbol of love, and he began to look for it. Money, or "truth"? I found the coach, let's call it Coach 8 for now. Does this scene feel like "reality destroys the color order" at the beginning? This coach is really condescending, he is a person who recognizes the truth of life, and then the clip, he took his students this part is very understandable, very blatant irony, the students are entrepreneurs and politicians, and there is a The thief, seriously, I think his students are actually half-footed into the future.

I think the most interesting part is that they experience entering the grave. The lines are very scrutinized, "Nothing is the only truth", although it is a bit of a pyramid scheme.

In the end, the coach let the students return to reality. In fact, it means to realize everything and then live a good life. In this society created and trained by others, live a good life.

The director is angry, astute, dabbling and imaginative, and you can see cubism, surrealism, primitivism, abstraction, etc. in the film, etc. I don't know. By the way, the director is a wonderful person in my opinion, because he arranged love to find support.

    The brain circuit was stagnant for five minutes. This is the most speechless masterpiece I have ever seen. The pulse I like after a movie makes me want to vomit, I have begun to question why this dull plastic sour smell exists, why don't I knock it down? Why should I do this act of drinking? Beverage itself is a kind of futile, right... Oh, these few questions are not painful, "Holy Mountain" is like a cult performance. After the curtain call, everyone will be washed by Zuo Lao's "neuro-aesthetics" (lie down) that, I originally wanted to say - after watching Lao Tzu, never mate again! roll! (Silence beep beep beep) I really like those toads in small clothes and the birds flying out of their bodies, white chickens crawling all over the trees, tarantulas and pythons, and the one that was blown to death. Machines, but all the passages of fiddling with the human body make me utterly ashamed. Not literally from my own shame, but because as a human species, I have been brainwashed and dirty by Zuo Lao.... Throwing away the inertial desire to understand movies with certainty, I was opened by him, beyond perception, and destroyed. The regenerated aesthetics express the five-body projection of amazement.

    The girl who leads the orangutan, the hippo in the hot spring, and of course there are many more, the director Aquarius, the aesthetics are too similar to me (or the opposite). Weird and pure and gentle, filth reveals holiness, at first glance it looks dark and filthy, but it actually has positive power. I have always felt that the imagination of pornography and violence is some kind of reality.

The Holy Mountain quotes

  • Lut, He whose planet is Pluto: [vomits] His feet stink.

    The Alchemist: He has beautiful feet.

    Lut, He whose planet is Pluto: I can't stand the smell!

    The Alchemist: [attacks Lut, breaking his legs] When he puts your bones back together, you will like his smell!

  • The Alchemist: [final lines] We began in a fairytale and we came to life, but is this life reality? No. It is a film. Zoom back camera.

    [camera zooms out, revealing equipment and crew]

    The Alchemist: We are images, dreams, photographs. We must not stay here. Prisoners! We shall break the illusion. This is Maya! Goodbye to the Holy Mountain. Real life awaits us.
