| The Holy Mountain | comment |
Alejandro Jodorowsky is a special kind of director, and The Holy Mountain, made in 1973, is a special kind of movie.The film opens with a man dressed in black (The Alchemist) shaving two women in a rather psychedelically decorated room. The very next thing is a naked man (The Thief) lying in a pool of his own urine, covered by bees. This should tell the audience that, oh boy, they are in for something completely different. The plot is about The Thief, who is somewhat of a Jesus figure, and his dwarf companion who has no arms. They travel, meeting The Alchemist and seven other strange people, who are pursuing a mysterious goal that involves reaching the titular Holy Mountain.The Holy Mountain is a parade of symbolism, be it meaningful or just there to confuse everyone. Coupled with the dream-like narrative and Jodorowsky's tendency to cram the scene full of whatever he wishes, the result is quite bizarre. The film is also either a spiritual or an outright actual sequel to El Topo, another trademark Jodorowsky film made three years earlier. The Holy Mountain was bankrolled by Allen Klein, manager for The Beatles, as John Lennon and George Harrison admired El Topo. The film was shot sequentially, entirely in Mexico. | |

Crucified Hero Shot: Intentionally done early on to The Thief. A religious group make a hold of his body for religious iconography since he looks so much like Jesus. | |

Good Is Not Soft: The Alchemist will lie, throttle, and scold to make his disciples better people and the world a better place. As evidenced by the first third of the movie, it's rather understandable as the civilization he lives in is treacherous and foul. | |

Adaptation Expansion | |
| The Holy Mountain / int_23473ae7 | comment |
Adaptation Expansion: A major inspiration for the movie was Mount Analogue by René Daumal, a book that is a surreal Mind Screw in its own right. Notably Daumal died before he completed the novel, and as a result the published work ends mid-sentence. Actually providing an ending was all up to Jodorowsky. | |

Bald Mystic: The Alchemist shaves his disciples bald when they fully commit to their abandonment of material possessions and pursuit of spiritual enlightenment. In the opening, he does this to two women after first stripping them of their fancy dresses, jewelry, and makeup, and he does it again later to the main characters as they accompany him on his journey to the mountain. | |

| The Holy Mountain / int_2bdae2ae | comment |
Awesome, but Impractical: The last person the group encounters in the Pantheon Bar before they decide to leave it is a robust and experienced traveller who has trained himself to peak condition both physically and mentally to the point that he can teleport great distances through sheer force of will and body. However, he can only do such horizontally, so it's a phenomenal skill that's useless for actually getting to the top of Lotus Mountain in a hurry. | |

| The Holy Mountain / int_eb251937 | comment |
Dirty Cop: Axon's career as police chief has evidently made him a very wealthy man, but it's a perfunctory prize compared to his real goal of crafting a Cult of Personality around himself. Tellingly, when he's called to burn all of his money, he does so in one go rather in increments like the others. Also, he's the first of the group tasked with burning his effigy. | |

No Good Deed Goes Unpunished | |
| The Holy Mountain / int_eb8f64a6 | comment |
No Good Deed Goes Unpunished: When the Thief attempts to use his newfound enlightenment and knowledge gained from the Alchemist to give some street children a hefty amount of bread ala Jesus Christ, the Alchemist chidingly points out that such a sudden influx of wealth would lead to hoarding, territorial disputes, and outright violence among these desperate poor. | |

Brick Joke | |
| The Holy Mountain / int_fe0330fb | comment |
Brick Joke: In the first act, a foreign tourist is raped by a police officer and doesn't seem terribly bothered by it, even having her husband take pictures of her and her attacker. The following act reveals that her lack of distress was likely due to the fact that Axon had castrated all the cops under his command, retroactively outing the rapist as a desperate impotent. | |

| The Holy Mountain / int_ff7f34c5 | comment |
Pet the Dog: Even before his major Character Development hits, the Thief goes to great lengths to give the last of the giant Jesus Christ molds made from his image somewhere to belong. When he fails to find any in the city, he attaches a large number of balloons to the statue and casts it off into the sky to give it a shot at being part of the heavens. | |
