I don't think i've ever seen anyone discussing this movie on this board.

Hey it's pretty good
Jodorowsky is pretty out there and neato, my guy (:

Just finished watching it for the first time and I am thoroughly confused
Here's my ultra pleb analysis
First part of the movie: Christianity has failed
Second part of the movie: the search for a higher spirituality to take Christianity's place
End of the movie: Jodo tells the audience to stop looking for spiritual relvelations in movies, because they aren't going to find them there
How wrong did I get it?
>>18544881
op here, I kinda see where you're coming from but I mostly felt like the whole movie was literally a b8 just to meme you
>>18544890
There's definitely an element of that. It build you up to some big revelation, and then it goes "nope, this is just a movie, you aren't going to find any spiritual revelations here".
>>18544895
It honestly just feels like I wasted that past ~2 hours of my life. I mean some of the visuals/colors were cool though. But all of the obscure symbolism just confused me
>>18544842
That is because you're new.
Paul McCartney died and was replaced with a lookalike.

Most redpilled movie. Magic is not what you think

Jodorowsky is a crazy bastard that likes to make stupid bullshit based on acid trips because he precisely lacks the imagination to make a good plot.
His ideas are ridiculous and his "psychomagic" does more damage than good. And you are complete idiots for taking him seriously.

Meet him once in a cafe in Santiago.
At the time he was making up weird ways to make readings, he talked tome about something called anomancia, basically he was reading anus instead of hands.
Never laughed so hard with someone being deadpan serious.
Cool guy for sure, he helped with the ending of the Akira movie.

Did you understad the movie? Did you even watch it? It states drugs are not the way pretty clearly desu
>>18545480
i've been around for a while. I just don't spend too much time here at once
>>18545640
That's your interpretation. Jodo made it clear that he wanted this to be a drug trip movie and that movies should rise above petty money and be inspiring to do good, a greater good, to push people into a new world, like his movies.
>>18544881
If you can find the director commentary, that's approximately what you will get.
The movie is about the ego being transcended into awakening.
>>18545608
LMAO this guy.
Jodorowsky is probably one of the most creative people on earth. You are the dense one that can't understand the symbolism in his movies.
>his "psychomagic" does more damage than good
I am sure you have data to back up your claim.

i always think about the ending:
a) all spiritual revelations are shit and a lie and you just have to live real.
b) i can´t make a claim about universal truth without making an awful and unoriginal metaphysical cliché, so i just ended like this.
Interesting movie heavily steeped in Hermetica and the Esoteric.
