This film really caught my attention from the beginning.  A giant god head speaking and spitting out guns is unique and quite startling.  The outfits in this movie were definitely from the 70's era as men wore what looked like women's clothing.  The actors lines were quite memorable.  Lines like "Stay behind my aura!" from Zed added comedic value to a strange psychedelic movie.  The theme of immortality for the rich is not so crazy as beloved Americans like Walt Disney and many others chose to be frozen.  The idea that life never ends is central to many major religions.  Christians believe the physical body will eventually die but their spirit will continue on into eternity with Christ Jesus.  Many Hindus believe in reincarnation.  Muslims believe in a spiritual afterlife as well as the Mormons.  As crazy as Zardoz was it has redeeming value it is overall relevant theme.
