The Holy Mountain [Ultra HD Blu-ray]

This movie is insane and doesn't make sense at first, but the more you watch it the more you pull themes and tie stuff together. Don't bother watching if you only watch mainstream movies, because you will probably hate it.

This movie is one of the strangest ones I've seen, pretty cheesy, and I'm not sure I even completely understood how it all tied together in the end... I don't think I would ever watch this again by choice.

like i said

Purchased THE HOLY MOUNTAIN directed by Alejandro Jodorowsky which is undoubtedly one of the greatest films of all time. The title said Ultra HD so I was assuming it was 4K Ultra HD but it was a Blu-ray. I don't think a 4K Ultra HD version of this movie exists yet. Still amazing and I'm not gonna return it but just so you know. They should change the title to be just say Blu-ray.

....a statement on how much I like or dislike it. Which I do like this film. You don't need to be an artist or very educated to "get" the message in this film. The message is explicitly given at the end of the film, a shortened version however. This just shows that the symbolic message can be delivered in clear but generalized language. Obviously a lot is lost in this conversion but you still get the idea. Simply stating it you lose all the profundity as well. The movie delivers the message slowly with symbolic imagery and music. The artistic approach is fuller message, much more can be conveyed with less compared to using language which would take volumes of text to be as whole as the artistic approach.The thing is if you're not all ready familiar with all the symbolic imagery you wont have any idea of what's going on at best, at worst you'll give it your own meaning and miss the actual point, perhaps even get offended by your personal interpretation. What I'm getting at is if you're already familiar with the symbology you probably don't even need to watch the movie hahah but chances are you'll get a kick out of it anyway.

strange horror not something recommended for under 18 but ok to watch mature adult

It should go without saying that if you're familiar with Alejandro Jodorowsky, you know it's going to be a ride.Massively symbolic and artistic with themes that transcend time. Anyone interested in, studying/practicing, or open minded regarding antiquity beliefs should give it a try.Fair warning ⚠️: this movie WAS made in the early 70s, and not made for a "family" audience. It is a reflective piece on beliefs mixed with religious, political, and social satires/parallels that again, transcends beyond it's time of creation.I'd recommend seeing it at least once in your life, if not owning it (like I do) and watching periodically enough to keep perspective.

Enjoyed the confusion of it all. No way to interpret the plot. Artistic use of framing and imagery. Would have been better without the children and animal fighting. Other than that it was a good film!

not as advertised, paid full price for a standard blu ray.........disappointed.....

Love this classic. Not for everyone though

Amazing!

good film
