The Holy Mountain (1973)



oo the spiritual journey to the holy mountain...
I will never forget you
Alejandro Jodorowsky’s classic bizarre art shit
I watched it over-and over

The symbolism cannot be transcribed-watch it


*watch the extra features with Jodorowsky’s explanation of the Tarot and his obsession/collection that led him to make up his own set of cards-then the movie

Legends of the Fall (1994)

 

The "fall" refers to the fall from innocence.
This fuckin movie is funny. The cover really compelled me at first, along with the cast and release date.

I watched the whole thing with Lauren and it was not until the credits that I realized the justification for what I'd witnessed.

Edward Zwick.

That motherfucker.

Such a bastard. This greedy fuck actually had this movie in development for 17 years before it ever got a green light.

The whole thing is a Parmesan festival.

And I think it is decidedly a chick flick because Lauren liked it, and most of the time Brad Pitt is just jocking his boyish long hair hella hard.

To me it had a lot of potential and though it is beautiful the frivolousness with which it handles the passage of time is insulting.

Not a bad watch though.
