Alexandro Jodorowsky
A man dressed in black, with umbrella, riding in the middle of the desert while his young son sits naked on the haunches of hack: "Today is seven years old, you are a man. Bury your first toy and the portrait of your mother." That phrase refers synthetic startup milestone sounded psychedelic filmmaking. Favorite movie of several influential artists in contemporary history the planet.
Writing under the influence of LSD always brings strange experiences, the perception changes radically and is not endowed with much sense of ideas. I do not know if the drug was the engine of invention, but at least it seems. Absurd characters beneath a cloudy lens and bizarre, if you look closely, but by far seem to be drawn by religious precepts, spiritual, mystical and profound Masonic ... in general.
What motivates Jodorowsky, What do you want to express?, Why is so provocative? These are questions that we've all seen some of his films we've done at some point. In essence, the director disguises ecstatic order amid an incomprehensible morass, where seemingly prints balance figure only chaos.
Generally speaking on a tape winding path, complex and tired. A spiritual transformation that only certain people do their part: "The mole is an animal digging underground galleries, seeking the sun. Sometimes your path takes you to the surface, when you see the sun go blind. " The search for absolute truth, the panacea of \u200b\u200bknowledge, nirvana. The similarity with the parable of the cave used by Plato is not enforced, the truth is there but nobody wants to see her even if he does ever one would notice.
pounds in his first company about Franciscans of the scourge of bandits fetishists. Outlaws ride iguanas, painted lips of the monks with blood and waltzes dance with them. Pigs, homosexuality, effigies, perversion and tasteless and strange woman named Mara, as the bitter water, is what the gunman in the abbey. When they finally extinguished the abuse, the Colonel asked, "Who are you for vengeance?" And the Mole replied "I am God." The woman running with him and constantly encouraging him to get what she pleases (even to leave her son), is a being full of envy and ambition.
Mara represents the dark side, the tendency to progress at the expense of what is and who he is. It is she who instigates, which side of sin, that ruling wrong and unfair manner, seduces and is ungrateful. The New Eve tempting Adam and the New Helena producing various calamities.

The second is an obese person who lives with her mother, she defends the existence of fate and the ability to know through letters, presents a crucial point: the more despicable are the actions of the gunman highest amount , teaches the secret of being delicate and strong at once. "You shoot to find you, I do it to disappear." The Second Master believes that El Topo killer because it is unable to feel, that makes you think really happens when you are taking.
Third is a subject surrounded by rabbits. "You feel nauseous for yourself, do not want to betray more. Now you want to respect the law. Some give flowers, other precious objects. You bring me a present your own life, no longer afraid of dying, so are a dangerous enemy. "
The fourth one is invulnerable. It is a serene and passive old man who has the deepest knowledge. His soul has overcome a lot of suffering and this is reflected in its tranquility. Faced with the threat to kill him, replied:
"How could you win? If I do not fight, I have nothing. Although a trap had done you had not been taking anything
"Yes, you could take the life
"Life does not matter. I'm going to show. "The scene ends when the last master, the wisest, is given a shot and breathes the word" Lost. "
"How could you win? If I do not fight, I have nothing. Although a trap had done you had not been taking anything
"Yes, you could take the life
"Life does not matter. I'm going to show. "The scene ends when the last master, the wisest, is given a shot and breathes the word" Lost. "
What is life if not a fad. The last enemy to know that our existence is only transit does not flinch at the death because he knows that happiness lies in being able to let the objects and people. He has lived and is pleased with what he has done and has not done. When you can have that assurance is that your life has been full.
El Topo now feel disgusted with himself, has finally seen the carrion that until then was because it has hit bottom. Now he starts the actual transformation. Abandons his wife and began to reflect on itself in the middle of a bridge. Paraphrases Jesus shouting "My God, My God why have you forsaken me?" And like the old master, wandering through the desert of solitude removing the source of eternal wisdom.
Amid meditation is betrayed by Mara and is rescued by dwarves who live deep in the surface. El Topo reach the cavern where dwell, unaware, the coming years. Phenomena prophet, martyr of the dispossessed. The omen revealed that he will bring to the surface, the release of his life misery. The village to which they aspire (its paradise) is corrupted and alienated. Impera vanity and selfishness. Caricature of modern society where the only thing that seems to matter is the ability to purchase.
The people worship money. Are in favor of slavery and enjoy the suffering. Their religion is also rotten and their religious leaders pursue the same interests surface. The illuminati pyramid (current dollar symbol) polular all over the place.
When finally arriving at their promised land are painfully killed. The society does not accept those who are different or inferior courts. Intolerencia total. In the end, the Mole can not stand it and catch fire, emulating the Buddhist monk who protested the war in Vietnam. The outcome is the exodus of their two children.
