Read this after looking at the pictures.

It felt like the end of Holy Mountain. Spoilers are going to abound here. The movie has a twist ending of sorts, but it's more than worth watching even if you know how it ends. After a wonderfully psychedelic and surreal journey with Jesus, the descriptions of the most post-real lives of eight amoral archons and shifty businesspersons, all of the characters go on a trip to the titular rocky outcropping. They intend to interrogate nine immortals at the top of the mountain who hold the secret to their infinite longevity. While the eight businesspersons, Jesus, and a mad alchemist move, they are cut down, one by one by various sins and confusions. They come upon a bar (Similar to the opulence of Tom and Terry) where everyone recites awful poetry and does far too much LSD. They move n, further, cut down again and again until they finally see the table of the immortals. They move to the top of the mountain, touching one of the immortals (All of whom rest their heads on a stone table) They are revealed to be husks, white clothing with no anatomy inside it. One of them is the alchemist, who then, right there, states the words "Zoom Back Camera." The camera follows his order, revealing the apparatus of the film, as well as the fact that the mountain shown to be the objective of Christ, the Alchemist, and the other's travels is but in the distance and they have never reached it.
This is what straight line felt like, an unreachable, ultimately illusory goal that was never really meant to be found. When we saw Eureka Street, we were forced to glean something from disappointment. Sutro is meaningless, and will always be just out of reach of the pedestrian.
