Zodorovsky really has a unique flavor when he makes a feature film. Although he is interspersed with his self-marking and restrictive shots, this time it did not attract people’s attention, but was truly integrated into the text. Make it a concrete metaphor, and it really has a plot level contrast. From the point of view of the theme, the whole movie is actually about the profound imprints of the parents in the childhood life. The patriarchal worship brought the male protagonist’s primary desire for women, while the betrayed mother was changed because of his father’s several derailments. Suspicious nature, that is, full of hostility towards men and deep resentment towards women. These two effects have added to the male protagonist to create his tragic dilemma, and also describe the mother's madness of overly imposing his son's self-desire. At this point, The lost arm becomes an excellent metaphor. This part that was "castrated" by the father becomes a real contrast to the mother's unhappiness, and the capture of the son's arm becomes a true portrayal of self-imposed desire. The final self-control of the male protagonist corresponds to The return of control is obvious, but fortunately the operation is dazzling. The cult smell in the movie gives this metaphor a charming color.

The degree of completion is very high; it is very religious and Oedipus, and there are many symbolic images; the soundtrack and art finger are very Latin American; the role of the little girl is set as a deaf and dumb person, and the actors are also very innocent...
