I am here because a Staten Island man named Vinny was screaming about crossing a holy mountain horizontally. I was not disappointed.

[@srbrant5391]

I don't know who was more confused: the audience or the spirits at the cemetery when this was filmed.

[@themaestro2572]

Audience and souls: what the hell is going on?

[@frankuraku5622]

Still one of my favorite scenes in the movie. I see this as more like a fun little break from the serious and bizzare and paint-wasting amazing sureal scenes.

[@alexthompson9516]

But that in itself makes it the essential and core message of the film.

[@raineveeraine]

Definetly. The guy who can only go through the mountain horizontally is hilarious!

[@hellovagim]

I forgot about this scene, but now when I'm watching it, I think this represents the "fake gurus" and fake beliefs in today society

[@nadamarena]

The bartender's words are explicit, "I have found the academy"

[@gvrbvge420]

my favorite part of the film. The bit with the guy ranting about psychedelics and then feeding them to the kid after uttering "is eternity" sinister as fuck feels like the WILDEST cosmic joke when it happens if you watch this movie tripping lol.

[@MrSoopSA]

He represents Timothy Leary, IIRC. Leary felt the solution to everything was that everybody should indulge in psychedelics/LSD and never shut up about it. Leary didn’t account for the human factor that not everyone wants or needs enlightenment, he was too busy caught up in public pseudophilosphocal masturbation delivered in the form of lectures about his acid trips. Which brings me to my point; you’re absolutely right. It’s incredibly sinister to do this to someone because he’s simply forcing his worldview and addictions onto others seeking answers.

[@ChrisMichaelFilms]

I Love this Movie so much I’ve watched this at least 20 times. And everyone I find something new and interesting . Alejandro Jodorowsky The Best❤️🙏🏾

[@srbrant5391]

3:08 - “I am Mexican Heavy Weapons Guy.”

Goated references

The devil takes in forms of temptation

[@SBaby]

When you get to the end of the movie, the entire meaning becomes something radically different.

[@axar9905]

Incredible movie. Terry Gilliam was inspired by this scene for The Holy Grail

[@alexandermaximvm6393]

And we are already forgetting you

[@konami1979]

Ha, a 90's NYC reggae band called, Dubadelic sampled the pharmacist's speech at 2:00 in one of their tunes.

[@sneed3613]

Which song?

[@williamcrowe2576]

Best just leave those poor souls to their own "enlightenment".

[@SBaby]

Everyone finds joy and fulfillment in something. The summit of the mountain isn't an absolute.

[@MrSoopSA]

For some people the concept of enlightenment is merely an excuse for indulgence.

[@SBaby]

@@MrSoopSA The mountain's summit is literally nothing. There is nothing there, and it turns out to all be an illusion. This is why the Alchemist has the camera pull back and why he says that real life awaits us. Enlightenment itself is an illusion.

[@yaxomoxay]

Horizontally!!!

[@alekies]

this movie blew my mind and I wasn't even high

[@garymcgrath8246]

off topic - @3:40 drops of rain appearing on monument behind & to the left of guy

[@garymcgrath8246]

Like the cinematography

[@thomasyang1167]

favorite clip

[@dakgumpa]

And in this beautiful young man is Adrenochrome

[@naturalcambion3747]

The music is on point! What genre is it?

[@NewWaveFilms]

Hmm. Big Band / Psychedelic Disco? No idea but the song is called "Pantheon Bar (Bees Make Honey…)"

[@danielanderson6933]

Sounds a lot like Ennip Marricone

[@SBaby]

It's just default calm town music.

[@lowserver2]

2:00 is that actor the same that appeared in ace ventura ?

[@mrbenoit5018]

Frank Zappa

[@FrancoVero]

Was he him?

[@slevenmcdicheal]

2:00 Its pauly shore lol

[@shaynedouglasfertile]

It's also Joe Rogan's entire persona.

Whenever the guy swallows a mouthful of the acid candy, a burning jealousy always rises up within me. One day I'll be able to share that experience

[@AlexHernandez-jh9ul]

That guy was being critiqued lol

[@mvrtinxz650]

once and awhile is okay. and in my opinion, anytime u do psychedelics, u mite as well go all out , just be safe and plan accordingly. also the guy in this scene is what not to do, cus while psychedelics do enhance your consciousness, too much will actually do the opposite.

[@Revanalyst]

You weren't meant to idolise him. He's being critiqued as shallow

[@collegegoer45]

@Revanalyst The critique is that real life has to be dealt with rather you want to deal with it or not, and no amount of drugs can fully remove you from reality. But I can still try my hardest

[@ChaseThePinballWizard]

and then it reveals the self righteous quest to the summit of the holy mountain is nothing more than that... a self righteous quest.@@Revanalyst

[@Soniabegonia77]

Far out.

[@ricardoguanipa8275]

My guess is that the Pantheon Bar means to represent "The Universities"

[@indisciipline]

Nah

[@MrSoopSA]

They are the last vestiges of materialistic temptation. One can use enlightenment to write poems and make movies, but the protagonists view it as selling out because they are essentially selling a product, not anything truly meaningful. They are betrayers to the path, but it is not their fault either.

[@ricardoguanipa8275]

@@MrSoopSA yeah something like that, a lot of Young people go to the university expecting they become "Millionaire philosophers"

[@MrSoopSA]

@@ricardoguanipa8275 I’m back in university at 35 for my MS and this is entirely accurate.

[@SL-cl9gt]

To me it represents people who showcase their “enlightenment” for either praise, profit or just to be contrarian. The poet thinks he can enlighten people just with words but since he’s at the bar he makes no actual sacrifices nor does he test himself spiritually. He just tells people things they think they need to hear in order to appear wise and educated. The stoner represents someone who’s so in denial about their addiction to escapism and drugs that he ascribes genuine spiritual moments to mere narcotics fueled trips. He can’t accept the fact that others can achieve spiritual enlightenment without drugging themselves since he himself is so numbed and disconnected from reality and from himself. The mountaineer represents people who do in fact put effort into achieving great things in life, but do so with very superficial goals. Whether it’s working out or developing a professional skill, if your only end goal is glory and physical pleasure than you’re not advancing yourself vertically aka spiritually. He feels immense satisfaction in his accomplishments but only momentarily before he’s reminded of the fact that he’s back where he started.

Don't 'get' the turtles @ 0.05 ?

They contradict his promise of excitement and fame, when his flock are really sloths.
