Holy Mountain is not about being high, it is about seeing through all illusions, of which getting high very much is one of those illusions. When I met Jodorowsky in 2003, he called El Topo his favorite son The Holy Mountain his troubled son and Santa Sangre his perfect son.
Then after he had gathered his cast, he took them on a three month retreat to prepare, and the film itself seems to have taken six months to shoot. To prepare, he found a Guru, who gave him LSD. The Holy Mountain is the attempt to enlighten the entire society. they forget my fries everytime anyway so what's the point?Įl Topo was about a man seeking enlightenment and was made before Jodorowsky had ever smoked marijuana or taken LSD. have you had your break today? i'm lovin it. the longer you stare into the abyss, the more it stares right back at you.
after all, in the tower, they made gold from his own excrement. live your life, accept your reality, cherish what you have, find the blessing and beauty in it all, no matter how mundane it may seem. moral of the story is, there is no holy grail. film crew, police, interrupting their whole "epic moment". the monty python guys thought they'd found a new castle, finally found the holy grail, but only ended up running into the same french dudes that mocked them in the beginning and threw live animals at them, then got shit dumped on them and then just got arrested. the holy mountain truth seekers were only surrounded by a film crew and flipped the table over to go home and live real life as it is. the holy grail you seek, it doesn't matter. a perfect representation of the cosmic joke. I was captivated through this entire film, then at the end i cried. then it grew on me and now for almost 20 yrs they've shaped my soul and identity in ways i still don't understand but couldn't live without their music. first time i heard them, i hated their music. reminds me of my favorite band of all time. i felt compelled once again to watch to the end and now it is my favorite film. i felt drawn back to it and watched again, only to fall asleep midway. I watched once and stopped 1 min in to watch something else more fluffy instead, found it too disturbing.
