he has a lot to say in that link, but maybe nothing to say to, like this bit.

>In order to say something you need to know the thing you’re speaking of. It needs to be an experience, what you show on the screen. What will I show in this picture? What are human beings, art, museums and movie theatres showing to us? Are we those anti-heroes? Those people who have no dignity? We are slaves? We are liars? Thieves? What are we now? I don’t want to show that kind of person. I don’t know how to make pictures of everyone fighting one another, to have money, to steal money Why ?! I don’t want to speak about “love” either; about this “love” that isn’t real, that’s a fairytale. Love is something great, incredible, “sublime”… I don’t know how you say “sublime” in English… The most beautiful thing. Marpa was a saint in Tibet and he said “ Life, everything, is an illusion”. One day his son died, his young son died and he was crying and crying and crying and the disciples asked Marpa “Why are you crying? Your son is an illusion.” “Yes, my son is an illusion. But he is the most beautiful illusion.” Movies are an illusion but need to be the most beautiful illusion. I know what it’s like to scream because one of your sons died. It’s terrible. It’s terrible And in that moment you ask yourself, “ Why am I doing art, movies? Why?!” and then you say I am making movies and art in order to heal my soul. I need to open! Open ! open ! myself, in order to fin myself. To remember what the human being is. The beautifulness of the human being. The beautifulness of you. I need to show how beautiful the human being is. Now.

i wonder what drugs are involved in his experience?

None. I'm sure the answer is different for many of his audience however.

I sat through the El Topo/Holy Mountain double bill many years ago without benefit of drugs or alcohol. Not sure that I remember much about them even so. I think there was a bizarre sex machine somewhere and some crap in a transparent bedpan, the significance of which eludes me to this day.

It was a pre post-modern critique of bouldering. Waaaay before and ahead of its time at the same time.

Watching them as a double bill would be a bit much. El Topo was a film that had a great influence on me in high school; whereas I only saw Holy Mountain relatively recently. I don't buy all of Jodorowsky's hippy tropes, but I admire what I perceive to a much higher level of sincerity and commitment to them than the many dead shit stoners of a similar era. I'd much rather watch one of his films than much crap Hollywood churns out, except perhaps the lego movie, that was pretty rad.
