Digger


I think we can all identify with the second part of the film El Topo, when the lead protagonist and violent gunfighter called El Topo (The Mole), wakes up in a disturbing cave only to be make-up molested by the height-disabled. “I am so sorry for you people, eh. Please don’t worship me.”
Sadder still, and again something we can all relate to, he convinces the deformed people that he can free them from the cave– because somewhere on earth there will be a better life for them. Of course, as we have all been tricked into that hapless struggle, thanks Plato– for the hope and the burden of return, there absolutely is not.
