OK, so this movie was by far the weirdest movie i have ever seen... i mean i know everyone is supposed to ooh and aahh at the would be profound, if edgy, symbolism, which of course there is to some extent. not that anyones really sure what everything means... i think (and i apologise to those who have said this before me, of which I'm sure there are many) that Alejandro Jodorowsky decided to experiment with a different cocktail of hardcore drugs at the beginning of every scene. lets be honest, it would definitely explain a lot. a lot more in fact than can be explained through metaphors... unless of course you too have ingested a highly dangerous substance while watching the film, in which case you also have a fairly high chance of dying from the plain weirdness of the whole situation. ultimately it was an interesting movie, certainly kept me guessing til the end. (but mainly making various contorted faces of confusion and often disbelief)
