Live well after the pilgrimage

I like this style very much. Because he didn't complicate the story and let us get caught up in the specifics.

The whole film is a very absurd interpretation of social conditions and his own inner changes.

The man at the beginning had flies all over his face, wet urine, and a naturally blooming flower in his hand.

I think this is a metaphor for the state of a person before birth. Sleeping and not waking up, naturally stimulated by the outside world.

Then, the little life felt helpless in the depths of his heart, so an extremely dependent dwarf appeared, whose limbs were mutilated together with the image of a child to attack this new life.

The dwarf also throws stones with the children, learning the way of life outside. When the man was woken up by the stone, he roared and threw stones, which means that the man accepted the violent mode, used violence to control violence, and frightened the children.

And the dwarf did not leave, because the man and the dwarf are one body, and when the man sees his weak side trying to please him, he happily smokes together. Then they got close quickly, and they didn't separate from each other. This means that the child's inner dependence has found a strong support and accepted the violent mode to protect himself.

The man came to the city with a dwarf in his arms. The city was filled with soldiers, ruled by iron and blood. The soldiers carried countless flesh and blood on the tip of their spears, arbitrarily harvesting their lives, and the rich also knelt down to show their weakness to survive. Free people were shot.

Every kind of person represents a kind of thought, and out of the body of free thinking are birds. And there's a bunch of complicit recorders. mingling with soldiers. One kills with a gun, the other with a pen (word speech).

The man cooperated with one of the men to take a photo and got the money.

Then he entered a circus, where the so-called civilized kingdom slaughtered other indigenous civilizations, and the man played a big lizard in it, which was further polluted by violence.

Then, the man and the dwarf helped carry the cross. After returning, the man was drunk and the dwarf was driven away.

The man was carried into the warehouse, poured over his body, and many statues were made.

Roman soldiers and men dressed as nuns used religion to make a fortune. favored by many women.

Men and dwarfs took part in social activities and were further exposed to religious culture. The nuns and soldiers just used him to make money. Treat him as a commodity.

The man saw countless images of himself and shouted (this time, it means that the human brain has seen the shaping and distortion of his image by religious culture. It is very painful)

It is also very painful when we are young children to accept the moral constraints that we already have. Often does not understand what is going on with the adults, doing things is always corrected, doing different things requires a different image. When you want to be obedient, you will see countless demands on yourself from countless people. It's painful.

In anger, whipped the statuette.

When I exhausted my strength to destroy the statue, I found the one I most resembled in my heart, the one I recognized the most.

The statue in his hand symbolizes his conscience and obsession.

At the same time, in the church, countless women in obscenity were full of youthful breath, looking at the crucifixion of Jesus. Step out of the church and fantasize about your life.

An old man took out his eyeballs and put them in the hands of a young girl, kissing them constantly. It seems that he is sentimental about the years he has lost, and wants to entrust his wisdom to a young body.

There is a woman who has been accompanied by a gorilla, a combination of a beast and a beautiful woman in the West. The woman meets the man and is shocked by the statue in her hand. Scrub the statue clean.

The men move on, and the women are surrounded by the ball next to them, and all the men inside embrace the war (soldier). It implies that women long for men, and men embrace the power of destruction and live in a drunken life.

There was no god on the altar, and the scriptures were covered with maggots. The man found the pope in a suit sleeping with the icon of Jesus. The pope did not agree with his image, and yelled at him and drove him out.

The man found the face meaningless and ate it. It implies that the man is no longer obsessed with the image, trying to communicate with people through this.

Instead of looking for church religion, he used red and blue balloons in the wild to bring faceless images to the sky.

It implies that the person really let go of his image, no longer clings to the image, and flew into the air, symbolizing spiritual freedom to get rid of the shackles of thought.

They come to the exchange market. It sells daily necessities and beliefs. (This is a metaphor for the disillusionment of a man's self-image, and he begins to enter the society)

Gold coins were found in the towering alchemy tower. The man took advantage of the unpreparedness and went up alone along the rope.

When I climbed up, I found that there was a layer of albuginea inside. As soon as he stabbed it, it broke, and he jumped in with his whole body, and the color from the outside to the inside was red, orange, yellow, green, blue, blue, and purple. Go straight to the middle of a hall.

There are Qiankun symbols on the left and right pillars of the hall, two sheep in the middle, and a white-robed wizard sitting in the middle.

There is a naked woman next to her with many runes on her body. On the other side is a camel.

In this process, the man took up the dagger and fought the wizard for the gold. The white-robed wizard repaired him with Taijiquan, restrained him with acupuncture, and found a bag on the back of his neck. It turned out that the man's mind was controlled by a soft octopus.

The woman opened the bag with a knife, took out the octopus, and healed her skin. After the wizard solved the acupoint, the man returned to normal.

This suggests that there are unclean ingredients in the human body, which are affected by some other unknown creatures. Although he was walking on the path of the middle way, he couldn't help but do a lot of stupid things.

The man's real purpose is to get gold, so he begins the process of alchemy.

It begins with wizards and women baptizing men. The man pooped in the glass container. Then put it in another container. The man was put on the stove to cook. At the beginning, he had a big emotional reaction and sweated constantly. After sweating, his whole body was covered with salt-white particles. His spirit improved and his temperament changed significantly.

The color of the stool started to burn, turn black and blister, and the wizard added the man's blood and sweat. The stool changed slowly, white foam began to emerge, then went black, became pure white, and then slowly crystallized, became transparent and blue crystals, and finally turned into gold.

At this time, the wizard said, you are excrement, but you can turn yourself into gold.

This process implies that anything excreted from the human body, even feces (very foul-smelling things, thoughts, behaviors, objects), will change as long as the fumigation area is constantly poured with sweat and painstaking efforts.

At this time, the impurities in the man's body were almost eliminated. Then he was calm and saw himself in the mirror. The wizard lifted up a mirror.

He immediately smashed the mirror with gold. It is implied that he has opened another door, and the world behind the door is completely different from the previous world.

In the mirror world, the man and the white-robed wizard turned into black robes.

The man was no longer naked, and then put on the clothes of civilization. At this time, the wizard should be called the teacher.

The man struck the stone violently from the side, but could not shake it. And the teacher knocked lightly from the highest point, smashed the stone, and obtained the crystal ball inside - the soul of the stone.

Then began to recognize the soul. The two were placed face to face in the center, representing unity with the teacher, holding hands and looking at the rotating tarot cards around, representing observing without leaving the teacher's constraints.

The tarot tells their story from beginning to end. These are all within the scope of human exploration.

Then in order to continue the quest to combine social forces, men need to cooperate with the most powerful people on the planet.

So, there are Venus, Jupiter, Mercury, Mars, Uranus. People related to Pluto appear.

They are using very absurd forms to say what they do.

Some are related to sexual desire, producing mattresses, wives and children, and showing masculinity.

Some make tools of war and have countless male pets.

Some pretend to be harmless clowns, but in fact are cooperating with the government and using computer data to manipulate children's futures.

Some have wealth and live a restless life as a real couple, but they mess with their lovers, producing so-called love machines and related sex art products.

Some are very mean, giving workers only basic space and locking people in a coffin.

Some are cunning and wise, collect all kinds of intelligence information, and provide false theories to the king's superior officials.

Some advocate violence and castrate the male instinct. Ask other men to worship him as a hero. Killed countless innocent people.

All of these people possessed great wealth, but all had one goal of eternal existence.

So the alchemist encouraged them with theories, asking them to explore this eternal life together, learn wisdom, and go to the holy mountain to seize the position of the wise man of longevity.

So they burned the money together. burnt his own image. It implies letting go of the image and practicing wisdom.

Start really getting to know your body. When I found that my body stinks, I was forced to observe when I didn't want to get close, and I cultivated the view of impurity and accepted the fact that I was impure.

After accepting a vegetarian diet, I opened my consciousness during my practice, I heard the wind, ants and insects crawled, and various unknown states.

Then I observe the thoughts, and in the process of practicing, I find that the thoughts turn people into corpses and the thoughts turn into birds and fly away.

The mind is a bottomless abyss, and everyone finds himself drowned in it. So he began to bid farewell to his past, meet death, and return everything he had borrowed.

After death, return to the embrace of the void. Immediately burst into tears with ecstasy.

Then they leave. have their own authority.

The children and women came to see them off again. On the pier, the men wanted to show miracles and give food. The result was stopped by the sorcerer.

The man briefly foresees the future, and when he sees the bread brought by the miracle, the boys can't stand the temptation, and they will fight and kill immediately. The man jumped on the boat without saying a word and left.

Further examination of the mind on the water revealed that the man had a problem with his mind, and there was an extremely dependent monster inside.

With the help of everyone, the man mustered up his courage and threw the monster into the water.

In fact, he just threw himself away, thinking that he was weak, weak and dependent on the illusion-fear.

The group finally landed on Lotus Island and cut off their beards and hair. It is implied that they cast aside their external differences and proceed in a neat and unified manner.

A man drinking wine alone and stepping on the world of turtles. Persuade them to learn about his school, the culture of the holy mountain.

After entering the academy to learn about it, I found that many people inside were just empty talk.

Someone teased the truth with saliva, which attracted flies.

There are people who are well-dressed and drink psychedelic nonsense.

Inside the tomb, there is also a ghost that can traverse everything horizontally.

People from all walks of life enjoy wine, dance, and sing here.

Finally they got away from the crowd and went to the holy mountain.

During the climb, a woman was afraid of heights. This is someone asking her to walk with her clitoris.

This implies the activation of psionic energy.

A man found his hand frozen and stiff, so everyone asked to give up part of his body.

This implies that under the impact of energy, everyone's body will inevitably change, and they need to abandon their own views.

Finally came to the plains. The scenery is very beautiful, but there are very dangerous dreams, and many people experience the pain of death. The master covered his face, turned into a faceless person, and led the way with the tiger. The people in the back marched clinging to the chains, experiencing their own deaths in the illusion.

There are seven scenes, facing the seven deadly sins in the Bible, gluttony, greed, anger, laziness, lust, jealousy, and arrogance,

After walking out safely, you can clearly see where the nine sages are. The master indicated to leave.

The man can directly see the path to the top, and the master recognizes him because he knows how to do it,

At this time the master asked the man to cut off his head. The man chopped it down and found that the lamb had been chopped to death. This implies that the man has obtained the wisdom of no teacher and can save himself.

The master laughed, thinking that he could go back on his own, and handed over the women and orangutans who had followed him along the way, asking him to inherit his alchemy career, and asking them to use love to extend eternity.

In the end, the eight people stepped forward to attack the sage, and it turned out that it was a puppet. The master was hidden in the puppet. Everyone laughed when they saw the truth.

In the end, the master told everyone very clearly. We are all mortals. If we can't get eternity, at least we see the truth.

And this movie is just one item, just an illusion. I hope everyone will wake up from the illusion and truly face life.

"We are images, dreams, photos, hallucinations, magic, goodbye to the holy mountain, real life is waiting for us."

The director is well-intentioned. This film speaks of eternity! But it really requires everyone to get out of the story, out of the movie, out of the tradition, out of the old, and truly live with vitality.

    7/10. A cult version of Aesop's fables, with extremely delicate colors and props. The whole metaphor is incomprehensible but not boring. I don't like the ending.

    It’s the pinnacle of a personal poem movie. It’s not too advanced compared to “Holy Blood”, including vision and imagery, but halfway through it, I suddenly want to go and take a look at the Bauhaus ballet. Sure enough, there’s no harm without comparison. The ultimate beauty is still the most dazzling.

The Holy Mountain quotes

  • Drug Master: The Cross was a mushroom - and the mushroom was also the Tree of Good and Evil.

  • The Alchemist: The grave recieves you with love. Surrender yourself to the Earth. Return what was loaned to you. Give up your pleasure, your pain, your friends, your lovers, your life, your past, what you desire. You will know nothingness, it is the only reality. Don't be afraid, it's so easy to give. You're not alone, you have a grave. It was your first mother. The grave is the door to your rebirth. Now you will surrender the faithful animal you once called your body. Don't try to keep it, remember, it was a loan. Surrended your legs, your sex, your hair, your brain, your all. You no longer want to possess, possession is the ultimate pain. The earth covers your body, she came to cover you with love, because she is your true flesh. Now you are an open heart, open to receive your true essence your ultimate perfection. Your new body, which is the universe, the work of god. You will be born again, you will be real. you will be your own father, your own mother, your own child, your own perfection. Open your eyes, you are the earth, you are the green, you are the blue, you are the Aleph, you are the essence. Look at the flower, look at the flower, for the first time look at the flowers.
