Endless Poetry - Movie Review
I thought a few things within the movie were a bit too extreme for me, but none the less I still had an overall great experience with this film. From the start, you immediately get sucked into this world of wonder and excitement, there's this underlying message to it that feels preachy, but for some reason, it never feels forced. I had fun with this movie, it was bright, it was colorful, and it was absurd, but I believe it had a poignant message to it.

"By Giving Me Nothing, You Gave Me Everything"
Endless Poetry Depict alejandro jodorowsky teenage years and young adulthood, and how he became a poet and an artist.
The movie is in no way a Slave to realism, I am sure it shows his real life story, but as it felt and how he can put an artful touch on it. It doesn't hold back it shows the darkest part and worst part of his life and even if it may be gives into his ego sometimes. It is still willing to pick him down.
The movie so interesting. The first movie filled like the alejandro coming to terms with his father and mother and the early childhood. This one it's much more about his artistic Awakening and how he became an adult with his own thought and feeing.
This movie likes the first one has that wonderful feeling of a man who have lived a long life, and is now finding a way to tell it, in the most interesting artistic way.
The location looks amazing, the sit design looks amazing, just every part of the movie The costumes, the disabled, dwarves. It just a movie that has everything to give a life texture.
The use of non-actors is spectacular, they are willing to do things that you would not expect known actors with egos to do. They are willing to do go the extra mile for the directors Vision.
And all of alejandro jodorowsky Sons are playing it amazingly.
Life told in a surreal way can be wonderful to see, and can get feelings through effectively. A great director last film poetry. Would recommend.

More bogus Jodorowsky autobiography
There's hope for the return of Jodo in the first scenes, where the real street is transformed by roll down monochrome photo mural drapes into the street of his youth and we see the child in the shop where his dinero-dominated dad encourages him to put the boot into shop lifters, stripping them naked in the street while his singing mum creates strawberry sponge cakes like the one her brother choked on for her tortured mum.
However it soon becomes obvious that we are in for two hours plus of not very clever ideas punctuated by some striking images in Christopher Doyle's brilliant colours and some kinky sex that loses it's shock impact at this length. Concepts - the broken mirror,monochrome Cafe Iris, real Jodo's appearances, the bunraku black covered scenery changers, the circle of bohemian artists led by the pierette - come back not as motifs but as indications that the maker has run out of new ideas.
We get about half an hour of great material buried in the pretentious and increasingly un-funny stodge.

- TriviaThis is the second of the five memoirs Alejandro Jodorowsky plans to shoot, the first one being The Dance of Reality (2013).
- GoofsAlejandro leaves his parents and moves in with the two girls in the 1940's. You can see a Terracotta Army sculpture in the corner of his room, but the Terracotta Army was only discovered on 29 March 1974. However, both this and The Dance of Reality (2013) have anachronisms on purpose.
- Crazy creditsDuring the end credits, there's a message for everyone who contributed to the Kickstarter campaign. Then, a scene from the movie is re-shown.
