The message of the film is literally, "I guess, in the end, the *real* Holy Mountain was the friends we made along the way!"

a practical guide for growing as a person and connecting to your inner being. Though if youre an atheist and dont believe we have a soul then you will interpret it as meaningless or fanciful analogy and it will largely go over your head. Which is the disconnect I find when discussing this movie. For example with David Lynch, not saying he is comparable to Jordo just for the sake of analogy, Lynch literally believes in the things he depicts. He uses visual metaphor to express things he actually literally believes in. But most of his audience and fans are atheists so they interpret all his movies as "dreamlike" metaphors for processing emotions and miss the spiritual analogues altogether.

I've seen this horseshit 10 years ago, didn't understand a thing, and promised myself I'll never watch any obscure/experimental/psychdelic/hippie/hipster movie ever. My advice is: Just forget it. The filmmakers and actors were probably high as fuck and the result has zero cultural value.

You don't need to be on drugs to understand the moral that the journey itself was the spiritual enlightenment or "Holy Mountain" the mystic characters had been seeking all along. They spell that out very explicitly in the last fourth wall break. It's not actually that deep.

Surreal spectacle by a new age weirdo who was on acid during the entire production. Not every movie is good or means anything, sometimes they're just interesting to look at

Jodo is a marxist psychoanalyist and Lynch's movies are also about the human psyche, not about levitating Jews and people having immortal magical ghosts in their body. After all, they weren't benighted zoomer primitives to believe in 'spirituality'.
I watched Holy Mountain and El Topo and I'm thinking about keep watching his movies. What's Jodorowsky best work?

I'd rather spend my time reading Incal since I'm a big fan of Moebius

it's best to think of it like a painting instead of a cohesive account of incidents or events, it's purpose is to elicit questions not to give answers

The Holy Mountain, but you should watch Santa Sangre next.

>movies have to mean something
could you BE more of a 20something? It's a trippy fantasy movie from the 70s, that's enough for me.
