There is nothing fascistic about him. The Blue Light is an engaging movie, and its appeal can be explained in many ways. First, the cinematography is excellent, and this, coupled with a seductive musical score, draws the viewer into Junta's fantastic world. Second, Leni Riefenstahl is definitely a babe. Third, one can ponder the subtext.
Junta cherishes the grotto as a place of beauty and peace.
The villagers want to strip the grotto bare and sell its crystals. Vigo's attempt to reconcile the competing interests of the villagers and Junta fails, destroying both the grotto and Junta. The lesson here is that uncontrolled greed will destroy both natural beauty and the human spirit. A psychoanalytic interpretation Those who believe in sexual symbolism on Freudian lines will find The Blue Light just too darn easy. Jewels and treasure are used in dreams as well as in waking life to describe someone who is loved.
