Alright, finally wrapped up the set. Wow. What an awesome collection. Never saw Holy Mountain before, but I loved the hell out of it. There’s such fabulous imagery in it and while some can complain about the cheater ending, I actually think it’s a perfect ending.
Jodorowsky also does a great job with the commentaries. Where as Lynch just lets you come to your own conclusions on trying to decipher the bizarre sequences, Jodorowsky candidly lets you know what he was going for. Believe me, there’s many times when you’ll go, “Oh, that’s what it’s supposed to mean!” For example, I mentioned in my previous post why the female gunfighter (In EL TOPO) has a man’s voice. It’s because she represents El Topo’s alter-ego, his feminine side. Jeez, what a mind this guy has.
