Mind = Blown

Recently I saw a Japanese movie which simply speaking blew my mind; It was like NOTHING I had ever seen before, and I being a movie buff have seen a LOT of movies. The name of this stupefying movie is Symbol (Shinboru in Japanese). Now why this movie is so incredible is because it challenges your whole concept of god, existence, parallel universe, heaven, and hell. The imagery is what makes this movie so special, it ranges from African tribal culture to Mexican Wrestling, and the symbols of Japanese culture can be seen from the very start of the movie, all the way till the end. The crazy part is that there isn't really any comprehensive story, as this film works more on a metaphorical level with symbols, images, clues and ideas without much explanation. It's a movie made to let your imagination run wild. It's basically about a man in his pajamas stuck in a white room where he can have anything a man wishes, but he cannot choose what he wishes, while at the same time in Mexico there is a Mexican Luchador ready to fight his final fight! Watch the trailer below and enjoy the wild ride!
