Alejandro Jodorowsky interview

[MrDNANDA]

what the hell is he talking about at the ending? i havent laughed that hard for weeks!

[MantiaRyche]

The ending to the interview is, still as funny as the first time I watched it years ago.

[M23MATERAZZI]

i liked santa sangre, any other recommnedation?

[MantiaRyche]

@M23MATERAZZI

Watch El Topo.

Its a surrealistic western movie with the Jodorowsky twist.

You should check out the box set Anchor Bay made some years ago.

It got all his early movies.

Definetly worth it!

[dbnovaro]

Many people dare say soon after see his films are insane, however the world is ill as their films.

[HohleBirne]

Who is he talking about at 4:08? I don´t understand the name.

[marksparanoid1]

evrything so nice. but come on man, he speak so rare

[ThomasJeromeNewton]

Actually Trivers wrote about something compatible with Psychomagia. Self deception strategies to externalise our abstract thoughts

[shitIMGOINGPOSTAL]

[deflamol4444]

Great!

[Bizzlefrits]

bogey porn...mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[punkempireinterviews]

The Holy Mountain is by far the greatest boost for ascension i've ever experienced. Jodorowsky is a humble man. He's an enlightened spiritual being. Thank you Alejandro.

[alchemye]

a magestic spirit of creativity and beyond

[xazomoumikro]

talking

[PearlitaPi]

He says in less than ten minutes everything I've been trying to explain, and re-explain to my family and many of my friends for my whole life. "To be an artist is to be a victim because if you don't do what you want you die." I'll take a corporate job to feed myself but don't ask me to stop making weird little things or staring at what they think is nothing for long periods of time. It would kill me. I gotta try the bogey kama sutra thing. Brilliant!

[LucidDream]

I really don't find him to be insane.

[ImVodkaboy]

insane genius

[IamnotMystified]

if you do not understand the language of the birds then you will not understand jodorowsky. his movies are not weird but symbolic of certain truths and are easily understood to those who know the ancient mystery babylon religion. his films are not for the profane. they are for the initiated. it is a language not meant for the average sheeple

[CTCodemonkey]

@IamnotMystified

lol so pretentious.

[IamnotMystified]

@CTCodemonkey awesome

[Hannibalonthejazz]

@CTCodemonkey Since he doesn't make any claims of his importance to film I get the feeling he makes you and your existence feel just a little bit more insignificant huh?

Oh man JODOROWSKY IS THE COOLEST!

ABELCAIN! WOOOOH!!!!!

[iscream22]

@tabber87 Jodorowsky didn't drop nearly enough acid lol. I wonder if he's ever had a DMT experience

[tabber87]

I would say Alejandro did too much acid, except that it appears he has done just the right amount of acid...

[ScottBrown666]

@tabber87 He's only ever taken acid once, with a zen guru before he made the Holy Mountain. He doesn't do drugs. Or drink.

[JuanbagGala]

Hey wow Jodorwsky yeah! molto loco

Je t'aime Jodo

:-)

[uncypaolo]

He wrote a book about "healing with the gospels". I saw his interview with a spanish "commarade" in mysticism about it. IT'S ALL BABBLE. Same with his psicomagia, nonsense. How dare he say that an incest or rape (in your family ancestors) can carry on through generations and be root cause of your current problems. You are free to believe this if you wish.

[Babliclat]

are you familiar with genetics?

[uncypaolo]

The nature of dreams can be studied by scientific methods, the fact that their content may be "irrational" does not imply that they are unscientific. Psicomagia does not have an explanatory value, not a true one. It is as false as claiming that dreams come from the soul of an alien in remote galaxy, there is no way to disprove that.

[Babliclat]

@uncypaolo you realize that you look like an idiot to anyone who understands postmodernism right?

[uncypaolo]

Well, jodorowsky does have a book on "healing with the gospels". Which to me it is plain superstition. You try to justify that, i say it is lying to people, over things NOONE can know. Just because science has not got an answer to certain issues it means that any fake model like "psicomagia" can explain it. For that matter Homeopathy is valid!

[mundusabsurdus]

@uncypaolo These comments of yours are so ignorant they make my head hurt. Among all the other nonsense you are accusing something called "magic" for being "unscientific"? You manage to come across as extremely uninformed and narrow-minded. Coming from someone who cannot recognize a joke even when the subject is snot sculpture kama sutra masturbation, though, maybe that's to be expected...

Jodorowsky is a brilliant, courageous, ingenious man. Blessed be!

[uncypaolo]

@mundusabsurdus Psicomagia is a racket, open your eyes or grow up.

[DiegoAlbertoMayia]

@uncypaolo too much tv, too much job, too much usa brainwash massmedia and terrorism. saludos desde cancún, méxico. @DiegoSangri___ at twitter

[uncypaolo]

He masturbates while looking at his boogey porno sculptures. This is not artistic, its fecal matter intead of brillaince. Jodoroswky as no destillation in his works, he just does whatever comes to his mind, even if he does not understand it.

[maischlma]

even if YOU don't understand it, dude!

[renakko]

have u read one of his books?

[uncypaolo]

No. But I do not need to read his books to criticise one of his subjets, the "psicomagia", which is pseudoscientific or unscientific. I start to think that some ppl just NEED to hear charlatans to feed their unfounded beliefs...

[renakko]

cool man,,,,, i love ya,,,,

[sysdftpnk]

that's what art is all about, doing whatever comes to your mind

[Phonologie]

This means to be Free.

[royceicon]

awesome!

[pablobarri]

jajaajajaja, genio

[oliver2587]

jodorowsky..

super loco

pero agradable.

[Miciochecanta]

read his autobiography and you'll understand that "bauldries"(?? ) thing

[mediawasteland]

He's totally nuts but he's a true artist. He's like the dali of the film world. I think his films are hard to stomache because people dont look at films as a form of art as much as it should be.

[Craw1968]

This is my favorte Director, he seems insane but his films are about how society is the one that is insane. He makes films about breaking down ego.

[LucidDream]

@Craw1968 "We now have the choice between the absurd or the mystery. We are not obsessed with the absurd, we are not fanatical about the absurd, we are not fanatical about the mystery, we are not soldiers of confusion. What we are for...is uncertainty, the impossibility of explaining...the fact that time and space are an illusion. This explosion shows us that we cannot live while holding onto this overwhelming reason which has prevented us from flourishing." Explains his work better.

[MantiaRyche]

@LucidDream

Is that what Fernando Arrabal said in the Jodorowsky documentary by Lois Mouchet

[LucidDream]

@MantiaRyche Not quite sure, I only watched one documentary on Alejandro. It was a part of this dvd collection of his that I bought. But yeah, someone in the documentary said something along the lines of what I said. It was one of his former teachers if I am not mistaken.

[LucidDream]

When people are under the assumption that he is insane, it kills me. The work he has done is most likely the deciding factor that most people look at when judging who he is. But you've got to understand that when he made the things he did, the audience was the last thing on his mind. So that gave him the freedom to do as he pleased.

[thetoecutterr]

@Craw1968

hes not insane just free.... and awesome

[krixixbrunolullaby]

yeap funny and crazy ! it's perfect!

[policron]

Funny ending! Jodorowsky is a genious
