I seem to understand it but I don't. There are too many metaphors (such as tarot cards, religious and social background), and I can only get a glimpse of the skin after reading it. The following is a personal vulgar understanding. The film is divided into two parts. The main perspective of the first part is a thief who looks like Jesus. From his perspective, he shows the sickness of society. It is full of inverted Jesus and undisguised body transactions, indicating that the image of the innocent Jesus walked through it and was dyed. The main point of view in the latter part is the alchemist, the seven deadly sins have become entities, life is limited, and desires are infinite, so the ultimate goal is to pursue eternal life, they began to search for the holy mountain (truth), and only those who gave up desire and firm belief can find it , During the period, prostitutes are the most innocent people, so she can reach the holy mountain more easily than them. I watched Zuo Ye's cult film again after half a year. This is a more direct violent aesthetic than Holy Blood. Some of the pictures are too visually striking, which made me feel psychologically disgusted or even physiologically rejected (the threshold is low), and the final reversal as usual, Can't forget the truth on the way to pursue the truth? It's very interesting, I recommend watching it first and then reading it again and reading it again (it's better if you can find the director's analysis version)
