Why does everyone say that the male protagonist is a fake coconut cake?

He must be real. First of all he can come back to life. He was then furious when he found out that he was being used by Roman soldiers to create his own double. Including that he climbed the tower of Babel of the master because he wanted to kill the pseudo-god he thought? Also, he turned his head into bread, and planned to perform a holy miracle when he left the coast, which shows that the male protagonist is a real coconut cake.

The words are not enough to post a long review, so write more.

It's true that the film's avant-garde and surreal expression is the most fascinating thing, but its metaphorical level is that high school students can understand it. Why are there always so many people asking for a clear plot line in such a focused visual film? How many of you can understand this movie? So let's talk about who all the characters in this movie are.

The apostles are industrialists, warmongers, leaders of hate-mongering media, violence agencies, ignorant financiers (ignorance may be omitted) real estate developers. And the coconut cakes who have lost their memory / can't understand modern society / have supernatural power but have no preaching.

Who is that Master? The master has divine power (allowing Coconut Crisp to see the result of performing miracles), alchemy, understanding of supreme knowledge, and able to push the plot forward. In the end his ability comes from the tarot cards, and at the end can break the fourth wall. So the master is the director.

What story did the holy mountain tell? When you watch a literary film, you know that the purpose of the film is emotions, so why do you want to find a story when you go to a cult film? Why not read short stories and watch movies. It is because film as an art category has its own unique expressive utility, expressing emotions, expressing thinking, and expressing everything through sight and sound. Not just to express the plot. If you have to get to the bottom of what the movie is about, then look at what the master said. Obviously, Lao Zuo is so obvious that he is afraid that we will not understand it. All his thoughts that he wants to express are directly stated in the movie.

Accidentally said too much. There's a lot to read about this movie. Separate each character, music, dialogue. There are too many metaphors of the times that combine with reality. Everyone, just take me for a spin.

The last sentence is for some high praise. Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand the movie, please. Blood pressure soars.

    (ART11 viewing) The film has many metaphors about religion, war, politics, astrology, desire, fear, etc. It involves a lot of background knowledge. If you interpret them one by one, I may not have the same amount of knowledge and scope as the director, so I can’t fully understand the color. The composition, photography, soundtrack, and scene layout are all very personal in the director's style. The alchemist turns shit into gold. The hilarious main story is that the instructor leads nine people to the holy mountain to explore the secret of immortality. The nine people represent Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, Saturn, Mars, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, and Earth describe the background of each person. There are a lot of metaphors along the way to explore. The metaphor control is so unclear, so I can only see it with a confused face, but it is also intriguing to jump out. The routine of traditional movies is amazing, and almost every shot is amazing. The last long shot is pulled back to return to reality, which is a must

    A surreal film full of tonalism, with religious symbols and metaphors for life and philosophy, I was amazed. At the end, I suddenly changed my mind and said that this was all filmed. I felt like I was being played by the director. One star off. To sum up in one sentence, this is a heavy-mouthed, bizarre, and imaginative non-mainstream movie

    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.
