Holy blood

I always feel that participating in the circus elements, the whole movie is stained with exotic colors, and thus a special fantasy. And some of the elements of the circus must be gnomes, clowns, throwing knives and so on. Fernando walks like a crazy horse. He also has a dwarf and a protagonist. He also has a circus. In the Holy Blood, the background of the protagonist is set as the son of the circus troupe. The circus, transvestites, puppet theater, elves and clowns, etc., create a mysterious and evil story background, and the whole film immediately becomes surreal.
The film connects the Holy Blood, a Christian sacred object with a heretical cult, and the followers of the cult in the film also worship the Holy Blood as a sacred object, but in the eyes of orthodox Christianity, the film is based on a sacred object. The priest's line said, "This is paint, you are blaspheming God." Is there any difference between the holy blood used in the same Christianity as the wine substitute and the paint? Religion itself is always obsessed, and once you wake up, it is really funny.
Surrealism is deeply influenced by Freud's theory. This film takes patriarchy, the influence of maternal power and the realization of adolescent self-consciousness as the main part of the discussion. The father is a circus troupe, performing flying knives, fat figure, flying eagle tattoos on his chest, etc. The masculine patriarchal symbolism is very strong. Although he is color, he is gentle to his son, and in the image of a father. Asking his son to become a man, he passed the flying eagle tattoo to him. There was a story of becoming a man in Mole. The mother is a very jealous, possessive, hard-working woman. The influence of patriarchy and maternity has caused boys to grow up, but their spirit is still involuntarily controlled by the image of father and mother. Including him wearing a flying knife suit, as well as looking for women with big breasts, and finally even looking for a personal monster, this is the effect of his father's image on his spirit. His dependence on his mother and his mother's control over his spiritual consciousness made him fantasize about becoming his mother's arms, controlled by his mother and killed one after another with the big breasted women he had found. This is actually a recurrence of the scene where the mother killed his father and mistress with sulfuric acid at the time. The stimulation in his childhood was so deep that he would repeat such a scene again and again after he grew up. Of course, the death of an elephant and so on reappeared in his dreams, all of which were in line with Freud's theory.
Of course, there are many hidden things in surrealist movies, and this is just the more obvious ingredient.
