圣山

导演最后说，我们在拍片，不妨倒置看看。

那九个人，不谓艰难险阻，从一穷二白的山上下来，学会了世俗，因而也逐渐得到了金钱和名利。于是滥用权力，制造粗制滥作的物质和精神产品，随意玩弄性与暴力，如此种种，直到人生颠峰。可最后，谁也逃不过死亡，每个人终归要回到属于自己的星球去的。他们死后，尸体上又孕育出新的生命，飞出了鸟，开出了花。其中一个精神的导师，最终被抬到了圣山之上，接受一群小孩子的膜拜。故事往复，他的精神永流传！

是这么回事吧？

罗丹的思想者雕塑：理智主义的缺陷

第一部分：原始世界

小偷（愚者）被孩童（原始）唤醒，对叫醒他的事物充满了愤怒并将其赶走。与残疾人（神圣面）享受物质的快乐。

城市内正进行宗教游行与对学生的屠杀。小偷被游客雇佣为摄影师并加入马戏团（学习了钱的意义），象征美国旅游业用金钱对当地的征服。马戏团上演蟾蜍对决蜥蜴（欧洲对拉美屠杀）演出结束后残疾人数钱，小偷看着一地狼藉哭泣。

三个胖子与一个假圣母贩卖基督塑像（教堂商业化），看到小偷背负十字架形似耶稣，因此将其灌醉倒模。小偷背叛了残疾人（他自己的一部分）。猪油（ego）、圣母怜子。教堂的商人睡着，小偷醒来，发现倒模愤怒不止（耶稣摧毁他的圣经形象）发现与他长得像的塑像（“this is the Christ I want to be”）（小偷学习了尊严）

教堂里的妓女（pedophilic perversion of the world）成为门徒。一行人路过舞池，士兵与平民男性跳舞（a civilian is a soldier without a uniform ）教堂神坛是空的，水蛭腐蚀经书，教皇搂着神像睡觉。小偷将背负着的耶稣像放上神坛，被教皇扔出去（this isn’t true, this naked Christ! Get him away from here）吃掉耶稣的脸（圣餐）将身体放飞至天空（阴阳能量、精神升华）

第二部分 神秘世界

在金钱驱使下乘坐钩子通天塔（tarot 16th）甬道象征子宫、原始世界与神秘世界的连结。中有一道屏障，小偷用尽全力冲破，却发现屏障很薄。彩虹房间、骆驼、裸体女人（导评佳句：the soul with words, the drop that falls on the spirit; the Tao, the rod of Jehovah; the kabbalah, the symbol of mercury）、九型人格大师（master of enneagram.胸前的勋章为igneous, a symbol of fire。他与小偷拥有同样的声音，他是小偷的镜像。），小偷向深处走去，象征意识觉醒（awareness）。小偷被大师移除象征过去的肿瘤、沐浴、排泄，点粪成金。（导评佳句：According to Freud, the greatest sin is to be born. He said, "When you're born, you create an ego that wants to be the Universe. It wants to be God, but can't be." He thought we were guilty of being born and of having this great ambition of being everything. In a similar way, according to Buddha, apart from old age, illness, and death, the greatest tragedy is to be born. To be born is to enter the pain. He wanted to free himself from the chains of being born and reborn. Damn! They're both wrong! I am against psychoanalysis and against Buddhism. Stop it! It's wonderful to be born! It's wonderful to be ill because the illness becomes your master. It's wonderful to grow old because it makes you wiser. And it is wonderful to die because being immortal would be so boring! He will transform the excrement into gold. He will transform this primitive being into a disciple. It is very important to know that all of our negative traits can become positive attributes and contribute to our development.）

小偷忍受不了自己的形象而杂碎了镜子，结果进入了一个满是镜子的世界。导师叫他砸开共济会石，小偷无法做到（因为他过于迫切、拥有太多雄心）导师撬开，拿出其中的玻璃球（awareness）修习塔罗（权杖：性；宝剑：智慧；圣杯：心脏；金币：物质生活形成的气质）“秃鹰抓住牛，也需要牛被秃鹰抓住。鱼在想着自己的饥饿，而不是渔夫的饥饿。不是门徒寻找大师，而是大师寻找门徒。”

墙上的九个贼，每个贼都代表着各自星球的黑暗面：

金星：美丽而自恋的男性，布料工厂老板，有着许多妻儿。工厂生产生育的床垫、整形的面具、以及让死人重新活动起来的电子仪器。I always wonder what the purpose of art is. Are artists the jesters of society? It's a bit like smoking. People smoke to enjoy themselves, but it is entertainment that kills. When you go to the cinema and are treated like a twelve-year-old child, you have a good time, but you come out more stupid each time. Cinema is making audiences stupid, it's treating them like babies. I didn't want to do that. I wanted to wake people up. I wanted to wake up a society that has been ill since the Middle Ages. I must make films that heal. Art is good when it heals when it's therapeutic. I wanted my films to have an emotional impact on people, to cause an unconscious reaction, so people would leave the theatre changed, charged with new energy, with some revelation, with something. It had to be more than just entertainment, after which you feel like a stupid child. We see here a facial enhancement operation, they are very common these days. Someday soon the dead will be able to speak. We'll give them machines and they'll move their mouths and say, "Goodbye, my children." Or they will bless us, like this one here.

火星：同性恋、战争与摇滚星球，武器工厂。坑中正在交欢的裸体男人们（show homo position as seen through a microscope）漂亮的摇滚武器和宗教武器象征宗教战争和对战争的美化。

木星：亿万富翁。画廊展示人体与雕塑结合的“现代艺术”，以及被给与快感后能生出小机器的机器阴道，象征人与机器、几何学与生物形态的结合。

土星：小丑，战争玩具工厂，以孩子为客户，员工都是老人（如果对孩子的教育不变，世界也不会改变），政府是合作伙伴。根据政府的战争方针制造玩具、雕塑和漫画书。Audiences should not identify with a hero who is generally a pervert. James Bond is a pervert. Superman is a pervert. Superman! Imagine him with a woman. He would have ejaculation so big that it would destroy her body

天王星：破房子，俄狄浦斯男孩和没有肚脐眼的疯女人（makes the director think of eve），象征宇宙之母和一个擅长电子设备与网络（这是1973年的电影！）的聪明人类,为总统出谋献策。导演认为天王星象征人类的堕落面，是最远的、最神秘的、最黑暗的星球，与无意识相连。I loved building that tall toilet. That's my golden dream - to sit on the toilet with my legs dangling. That's the perfect, mystical toilet. I thought that the force of falling excrement could create free electricity. If you raise the toilet and shit, the turds generate electricity when they fall. If all mankind shitted from a two-meter high toilet, we could have all the electricity we wanted. This is a relationship between the universal mother and an intellectual.

Many people ask me how I feel about technological developments, about the Internet, and so on, things like robots. I think that if we have got this far, it's because man was created for it. Spiders make spider's webs, and nobody finds it surprising. Man makes machines because that is part of their brain programming.

mankind will move forward because we have three essential missions - number one, to know the whole Universe, secondly, to survive for as long as the Universe does, and thirdly, we must become the Universe's conscience.

海王星：警长，纳/粹入会仪式，剪掉男孩的睾/丸完成千睾圣殿；圣书、大屠杀。

冥王星：建筑师，恋童与虐童。公寓单元房间即是棺材。I think one of the greatest evils of contemporary society is architecture, because of its geometric, linear forms. For instance, right now we are talking inside a cube. But the brain is not cubic or geometric, it has an organic form. Homes do not match our spirit, our organism, and this provokes a series of psychological diseases.

一行人出发寻找圣山中不老的九名教徒（knights of Heliopolis）（导评：弗洛伊德说儿子从父亲手中盗火，知识需要人自己偷取）出发前将钱财与自己的蜡像（自我意识）烧光

蜡像烧掉后，导演的拍摄风格由写意转为写实，在现实而非寓言故事中寻找真相

去山上找到几位萨满进行仪式后，九人的意识合而为一，他们不再认识自己（the missing one），随后乘船到海上，众人帮助小偷驱除思想里的怪物，小偷get rid of his deviation/I-AM-WHAT-I-HAVE-GOT by throwing the other one into the sea.上岸后众人剪掉头发，遇到墓地狂欢作乐的人群（success-oriented world）。

I read a book that marked me profoundly called the Bhagavad-Gita. It is a Hindu sacred book whose first precept is, "Think of the work, not about the result." Second, "Let your work express your inner god." And third, "Approach your work as you would a sacred sacrifice." My artistic ambition grew - I wanted to make "Dune", and I got involved in a project so big that it was not feasible. I thought, "It's OK." I didn't make the film, but failure doesn't mean anything, it just means changing paths.

圣山不在诗人的嘴里，圣山不在LSD中，也无法被快速地“水平征服”。You must be very patient and persevering. You can't give up. It takes years to get what you want, so you need to live a very long life. At my 75 years of age, I am just a beginner.

一行人爬山，到山顶后看到不同的幻觉。（the whole film is a constant destruction of illusions, in order to get to reality）小偷（基督）下山回归现实生活，结婚生子、忘掉圣山、借由爱到达不朽。（我们必须接受自己会腐朽的肉体凡躯，在现实生活中放他自由）众人上前发现圣徒是假人偶，大笑（you will not find immortality， but you will find reality）

My initial idea was that they would float in the air and become immortal. But I fell down the mountain during a storm and thought we were going to die, so I hammered my axe into a rock and said, "I can't die. I must finish this film." And I decided to end it in the real world. We're mortal and cinema is an illusion. I am not giving the viewers what they are hoping for. They expect the characters to levitate and perform a miracle. I'm not doing that, I'm not telling fairytales. This ending caused great controversy. It enraged many people. Some people liked it. Of course! You expect them to become immortal, and, all of a sudden, you see it's just a film. And what's the enneagram for? I throw it out. Enough of this! Enough of symbols! It was a surprise for the actors. They refused to talk to me for a long time. They hated me. Now it fades and we see what cinema really is - a pure light.

FUN FACTS

小偷发现自己被倒模后愤怒的吼叫为导演自己的声音

导演请演员出演真实的自己，但首先将他们开化（enlighten）。给演员下达模糊指令，如“move around”

导演在墨西哥拍摄，曾被一名士兵和政府官员威胁，于是他来到纽约完成了对圣山的拍摄。

彩虹房间里黑人女性身上的纹身为导演自创。

披头士乐队的乔治哈里森曾阅读过剧本，只因不愿在镜头前展示屁/眼而放弃出演

墙上的塔罗牌为导演自绘，对此他现在很后悔，他认为理解塔罗最好的方式便是使用现有的塔罗牌

维恩（金星）的饰演者是唯一真正从事演艺行业的人。木星富翁的情人是在片场周边乱晃的路人。天王星的男演员是导演在gay bar遇见的，试图勾引导演；女演员真的没有肚脐眼。

出演天王星总统的演员是影片制作人之一，他携款潜逃了。导演整整六周什么也不做，等待奇迹发生。随后助理Taicher用自己的钱垫付，电影得以继续拍摄。

海王星演员拍摄时嗑了LSD，导演喊cut时他以为是把祭台上男孩睾/丸剪掉的意思，差点就真的剪掉了。结尾砍头时他很用力，导演现在脖子上还有疤

拍摄直升飞机场景时导演没要许可，找了个演员穿警服暂停交通，然后拍完就跑掉。

拍电影时出现的奇迹：纳粹屠杀时烟顺着小巷蔓延；烧钱时一枚钞票从天而降掉入火堆；拍摄过程中一开机就停止下雨

比《鼹鼠》的画面更神秘，比《圣血》的剧情更扑朔迷离，比《楚门的世界》结尾发现拍摄世界真相后的出走早了25年，这就是《圣山》。充斥着无数的宗教符号、原始崇拜、政治意见、生命真谛、世界真相的终极命题，带着难解的困惑和嘲弄，甚至在被导演丢出拍摄场景的那一刻，都令人无比震惊。人人都在寻找圣山，印度教里有须弥山，道教里有昆仑山，喜马拉雅有喀喇昆仑山，圣十字有犹太神秘山等待，而佐杜带着观众千辛万苦爬到了高山之巅，却猛然告诉朝圣者，你们是梦、是影、是照片，“把摄影机往后拉”，整个拍摄场景曝光在观众面前。这一刻，我真的体会到，佐杜对封神的决心。

影片的台词很少，其实仅剩不多的台词也让人云里雾里，看这部电影的感觉就像在看一本几个世纪前的一本阿拉伯语的神秘巨著，你一直用双眼观看世界，却知晓自己只是身处迷雾，这时一本书写本质的书出现了，而你却走不进那诡秘又有一丝危险的真相中。你可以拍打着玻璃，却无法击碎。这时神的恩赐，也是神的惩罚。甚至我们以为酷似男主角的人就是男主角，但其实他也只是需要被导演引导的迷途小教徒。

故事讲述一个酷似耶稣的男人，被侏儒和孩子们投石唤醒。当他们到街上，发现马戏团正在用蟾蜍扮演成传教士和士兵互相攻击。男人被做成了无数的耶稣像，而他只能痛苦的扛着其中一个继续寻找。被拖上一个高塔后，他遇到了一个术士，可以点粪成金，并用占星术选择了七位可以改变国家命运的人物，连同术士的仆人，十个人一同前往传说中的圣山，寻找长生不老的秘密。

动物们继续在影片中挥洒出它们的身影，羊和《鼹鼠》一样再次被血淋淋的捆在了十字架上，蟾蜍们在类人的战场上死于非命，人和河马共浴，猎犬在争斗，奶牛忙着交配。每种动物的出现都有人类的形象陪衬，各种动物身上都能模仿人类的影子，人类的本能又有动物有何区别。若非人类强行分出类别，天地初开之时，你与我之间，除了吃与被吃、性与不性，又如何有那么多高低贵贱呢。

当士兵们疯狂杀死游行人们时，尸体身上涌现出各种颜色的血液，黄色、绿色、蓝色等等颜料从尸体身上喷涌，如肠子般的绸缎被扯出、阴道里被拉出来了花菜、无数彩球从伤口里流淌到地上、挖掘出来的内脏其实是两颗苹果、捣烂孕妇的肚子可以挖出一大盆泥土、捅死一个男人就是切碎他怀里的西瓜、处女的胸膛还能挖出活着的白鸽。导演何其疯癫，才会让根本不血腥的场面惊起人一身鸡皮疙瘩。尽管我们熟悉的血肉横飞被替换，痛苦却丝毫未消。这痛苦，是人与人之间的自相残杀。生命伟大，所以不容轻视；生命又很渺小，于宇宙而言不足挂齿。即便长生，这些个世界的痛苦、挣扎和谋杀，岂不是一样也落不下了么，这是否算是担负另一种罪孽。

两个美女被卸妆、剃成光头、赤身裸体犹如初生婴儿一样抱在术士怀里。去掉尘世间的物欲其实是很多宗教必然经历的步骤，不被表象所迷惑。可是既然要把身体作为滑板，画上宗教符号，就比画上普通大众喜爱的妆容高贵了么？赤身裸体就是纯洁，那么又何必有统一的宗教服饰？7个门徒各自烧掉钱和人偶，试图与俗世一分为二，那么长生的目的又是什么。说到底，心不够诚的人，穿麻袋也悟不得兰因，若是自然悟道，穿着俗气不过的登山服，不也发现了世界本质是部摄影机的真相么。

究竟上流社会的人们在做什么？诱奸和诈骗几乎是一切的主题，当然，还有谋杀。无数的眼睛符号出现在电影里，它们看着，又好像什么都没看见。

面具商制作一切令人舒适的床具、衣料和面具，人们可以定制他们喜爱的脸谱，而美丽和舒适背后，是为了性爱，和无休止的繁殖，甚至死人也可以通过电子产品做出亲吻、画十字架等动作，印证人生如戏的谚语；武器商制作各种武器，人们愤怒、怨恨的情绪得到发泄，甚至各个宗教、音乐派系都可以有自己的专属定制；艺术家做出来的性爱机器很有意思，即便是各种屁股印出来的组合抽象画也没有它有意思；玩具制造商可以根据政府模拟出未来的仇恨需要，制造以仇恨敌人为条件的孩童玩具，等他们长大了就会高兴地去杀死真人玩具对象；政府顾问在可怕的生活条件下被监视着、试图愉快的生活；军官用士兵们的睾丸获取他们的崇拜；建筑师的工作是设计找不到彼此的、迷宫般的大楼，以及不需要家庭的猛男的棺形房屋。术士寻找的这七位门徒，不知是否参考了大名鼎鼎的七宗罪设定。不过他的想象更为无法无天，尖锐彻底罢了。

残疾是这三部曲里必有的设定。在《圣血》里，纯真的走钢丝的聋女在夜晚出逃时，就遇到了一个老头把自己的耳朵慢慢扯下来，硬塞进她嘴里的场景；在《圣山》里，也同样是类似的场景：雏妓从教堂里走出来搔首弄姿，老头把自己的眼珠挖了出来放到她的手上。至于少胳膊少腿或者是侏儒的形象更是家常便饭，这是真实的人们，真实的生活。

寻找的过程中疲惫总是最轻的考验，门徒们各自与自己的心魔斗争，各种幻觉折磨着他们，平时知晓或不知晓的秘密都曝光在高山之巅。唯一奇怪的是，故事里还是少不了男女最终结伴的设定。《鼹鼠》里的落魄牛仔得到失去又得到，《圣山》里酷似耶稣的小偷最终被指派给了一直追随他寻找圣山的女性，《圣血》里的男孩更是靠着女主的力量才能战胜心魔。所以这位深受各种秘密符号折磨的导演，最终竟是希望通过纯真的爱情获救么。

这个拔火罐的镜头真是惊到我了，也不知道这在拉美用途是什么。
