The voices of all the female actors in the film, except for the two heroines, were synthesized by the male actors in post-production, perhaps to highlight the mix of machismo and homosexuality, but it sounds pretty lame. Not very comfortable, maybe that's the first impression the mole gives you. Probably for this reason, before the film's reputation, the director himself first brought a few years of catastrophic life. It was also introduced in the film review of "Fando and Ritz" that director Alessandro Jodorowsky was exiled from the motherland for his proud works. In the director's self-report, he also mentioned many times that those who followed him in the filming were mostly implicated, many people turned against him, or became extremely depressed.
As a master of Cult, Alessandro Jodorowsky may not be as famous as Quentin and others. However, comparing these two masters, it is clear that Alessandro Jodorowsky's temperament to appear deeper.
First, the one-page-long title is Alessandro Jodorowsky's signature ID card. He has dabbled in almost every religion currently known, which is also reflected in The Mole, Zen, and even Shamanism. Plus, the tarot cards are another of Alejandro Jodorowsky's trump cards, and every time you hear him say, "Ah, this XX in the movie is the XX in the tarot" , No matter how clever the film critics are, they can only express ignorant worship. In addition, he also has a set of his own original psychological analysis methods, writing scripts, performing dramas, and researching alchemy... These marginal and esoteric fields make Alejandro Jodorowsky's body always It's a halo that is shrouded in too much mystery. At this point, Quentin is not as good as half Alessandro Jodorowsky.
Another point is Alessandro Jodorowsky's "playing" attitude. This "playing" can be said to be cynical or playful. Although Quentin is also very "playful", many people who have watched Quentin's interviews say that the director looks like a rogue. Talking sensually about beautiful actresses, taking filmmaking seriously, with a contemptuous attitude that I can play with those SBs, it's enough to "play". And Alessandro seems to have a lot of culture, come up to discuss existentialism first, and then analyze the "XX representing the XX in the tarot", a school of scholar style, awe-inspiring. However, after reading more, you will find that this old guy is like Quentin in his bones. He once had his wife stripped naked and played nude scenes in the movie, and said quietly in the narration: "Look, this is my wife, her body is very beautiful, but unfortunately she was bitten by a mosquito, and she can see the red envelope", In another interview with reporters, he said: "I like to have sex, and having sex with girls I like is a source of inspiration." There are also many times to ridicule the actors in his films, such as, "he is gay", "he hates me now and says I ruined him", "she was a virgin then" and so on.
Quite a bit of a hooligan who has the energy to travel all over the world without fear.
Later, I heard that John Lennon once liked his "The Mole" very much. I don't know if it was because of the deep meaning of Zen in it. But there are a lot of people who don't like it like me, so I gave it 2.5 stars, 50%, love it or hate it.
Alejandro Jodorowsky has finished the second step, and there is still one "Holy Mountain" left, which is heard to be relatively poor among the three. Thinking about the painful two hours today is a bit reluctant, but now that the Long March has started, it can't hang on the road. In the spirit of "I have to play if there are difficulties, and I have to play without difficulties", I have decided on this trilogy~
