watch this film because of john lennon endorsement and a short synopsis i have read and i find myself very upset about what i saw and disappointed with the story a a whole ( particularly the second half equal the acting and plot go downhill very quickly ) . while the visuals and for the most part and be amaze and hauntingly desolate or strange . the film quickly become an unsettling and pretentious mess . first and the entire film be a biblical allusion ( old and new testament ) and which would be great . but jodorowsky religious reference be so blatant and redundant that they become annoy and tired and expect ( like moral ground in a disney cartoon gear toward a six year old ) . secondly and there be hundred of dead mutilate and mostly real animal throughout the entire film make it one to watch on an empty stomach ( i actually do biomedical research use rat and which i have to dissect biweekly for brain and spinal tissue and and the animal carnage still give me a foul taste in my mouth ) . thirdly and the physic do not make any sense at all ( a certain thrown knife that impossibly kill a baddie . as well a other incidence that make you say what . but how . finally and what make me most ashamed for watch this film and be the gratuitous and undignified and disrespectfully dark humor use of actual maimed and deform ( by birth defect ) people throughout the entire film . a perfect example of this be a part where a man with no arm reach for a gun in his holster . so before you buy . i strongly recommend rent it . and if you really want a slick and surrealist gunfight film and try brand to kill by seijun suzuki ( so strangely wonderful and he be fire for make it ) .
