[QUOTE="Willie Oleson, post: 404490, member: 8"] THE HOLY MOUNTAIN (1973) [ATTACH type="full"]53767[/ATTACH] Yeeees, it was only a film! In preparation for the Movie Top Ten 1970s decade I wanted to be absolutely sure I hadn't overlooked something, and this film gets mentioned here and there. It's beautiful, it's repulsive, it's loving and it's hateful. It's inaccessible, it's terribly on the nose, it's hilarious and it's also impossible to believe that this film was actually made. And if immortality can only be reached in pictures, does that mean that God is a camera? Or a filmmaker? I don't know if this film is meant to be spiritual or blasphemous, it seems to offer a bit of both. I'll definitely watch it again but I don't think I will ever love it. But is art made to be loved or to be experienced? After all, man created music because he needed something to dance to (that out of sync stuff in Dallas' disco scene doesn't really work). [/QUOTE]
