Violence, gore, exposure, madness, unbearable...
This is all my experience of watching "Holy Blood" when I first watched it. The fatigue and heart palpitations caused by the blood and treacherous religious beliefs continued within a few hours of the end of the movie.
However, what is amazing is that when the day and night change, the nausea has faded with the memory, and other aspects of the movie have gradually become clear, as if the bright moon hidden in the thick cloud finally sees the sky-
IV The white wall, the lone tree and him—Fenix, a poor psychopath, and nothing else.
The beginning of the film seems to herald the end, this is an absolutely lonely story.
Fenix, the young leader of the circus, apart from the hard training day after day, not to mention the beautiful clothes, it can be regarded as unnecessary worry about food and clothing. A life that is not too colorful, because the little mute girl Emma appeared, began to decorate the color. Emma, ​​the white lacquered floor, the little Emma clown's costume, seems to be the existence of a faceless person, but for Little Fenix, it is absolutely real. Laughing together, encouraging each other, silent tenderness, whether there is some kind of affection sprouting.
A heretical mother who believes in a cult and an absolute male chauvinist father, the winged eagle engraved on his chest is a masculinity written in blood, and what is restored with tears in front of the bulldozer is a hysterical mother with a distorted belief.
Fenix’s mother, Garcia, an absolute believer in the Holy Blood, treated a girl with a broken arm who had her arms cut off by two brothers and raped it as a god. She dug a canal and built a pond where the girl fell to the ground. Holy blood, worship it. It was just a tragic encounter, and was actually clothed in the cloak of a twisted sacred religion. Such deformity, weirdness and unreasonableness! The so-called holy religion was eventually razed to the ground under the government's excavator. The holy pool has been destroyed. What about the holy blood? What the bulldozer rescued was the soul of the gentle mother, or was it just a body.
Both sides are extreme expressions, and it is not difficult to understand the madness when Fenix’s mother found out that her husband had an affair with others, she did not hesitate to pick up the sulphuric acid bottle, and his father was an absolute man. A activist, after cutting off his wife’s arms and taking a look at his burned genitals, the act of wiping his neck was extremely cruel and rude. In fact, it was so crazy that it was reasonable and reasonable to think about it. Life.
In the circus, the noise is still the same, and the lonely night outside the shed, two corpses, twisted and cold, the only proof of existence is the gurgling blood, scarlet and terrible.
The parents ended their lives in such an extreme way on the same night, and Fenix's tragic life began.
Fenix, who was mentally broken, ran into the woman who caused the destruction of his family in an outing. I don’t know whether it was a touch in the depths of his memory or a prelude to a resurgence of hatred. After returning to the mental hospital, he saw his mother with a broken arm in a trance. Catia's call, overcame the wall and the courtyard, and turned into a hand. Since then, a life of demon and uncontrollable has begun.
As Catia’s magic hand, Fenix ​​is ​​dexterous and dexterous. It is a passionate interpretation on the stage. The rotten trees bloom between the pointers and the mountains and rivers are bright. It is the things in life that have no size, from getting up, changing clothes, and eating. , When the note in front of the keyboard beats, Fenix ​​has fulfilled all his obligations as a pair of hands. And this is not a pair of happy hands, the timidity, pain and struggle during the period are fully revealed on Fenix's face, through the lens, there is no sound complaint.
As the magic hand of Catia, as the magic hand of Catia, the devout believer of the holy blood, Fenix ​​has a lot to do. After ending the life of the woman who was full of fascination in the circus, Fenix's magic hand killed The trip began. The glamorous characters on the stage at the time were the female fighters who smashed the boxing world. They were young and glamorous women who were all painted with paint and lying under the three-foot yellow soil. Can that white, sullen face be understood as a kind of miss, a miss of a distant childhood, a miss of the girl in my memory.
The evil hand has long been stained with countless blood, and a fallen and painful soul is struggling with every crime.
At the end of the film, it is Emma's appearance, using silent traction to let Fenix ​​find out the fantasy world, get rid of Catia's illusion, the holy blood girl is destroyed, and finally, is no longer a hand, as a human, to meet the law Sanctions.
In the interlacing police lights, Fenix ​​smiled, fragile, desperate and happy, and beside him, she was Emma.
No matter how absurd and bloody, the constant flow of blood everywhere or the vulgar neighborhood that the skeleton model has ruined, in the end, love came, as if it was overwhelmed and the heavy feeling was torn apart by a warm current, and then, smelled the smell of sunlight .

    1. Zuo's ingenious plot design and excellent scheduling create the peak of personal thinking, coupled with the strange and convincing way and the light and mournful music melody, it shows a surreal charm. 2. The burial and awakening of patriarchy/motherhood/belief/self-consciousness, metaphors and creativity complement each other, warmth and mania go hand in hand, which is more rational and typified than the previous work "Holy Mountain". 3. The male protagonist kills his mother to save the girl, just as his mother gave up the church for him back then.
