I originally planned to watch this movie on New Year's Eve this year, but unfortunately I can't help it. Facts have proved that "Holy Blood" is more mature than the "Mole" plot 19 years ago. The picture is still as absurd and magical as before. However, with the rendering of the music and the wonderful interpretation of the characters, this film is absolutely worthy 5 stars in all aspects. When the story ends and the blood-covered Fenix rises to the sky with his hands feeling free, the soundtrack that rang is so tearful, this majestic epic finally culminates in the joy of death, it is worthy of praise The art of the devil.
Countless metaphors and symbols are hidden in this sad story. The whole story is a pure and incomparable person. Because he realized his desire, he staged a tragedy in his heart. The flame of revenge burned in his heart, and he was transferred from the world to the mental hospital. , Returning to the human world, unexpectedly can't tell that there is something normal in the world. Madness is everywhere, singing everywhere, where do people’s smiles come from. This time, religion has ushered in ridicule again, holy blood, is it the blood of poor people, or dyes that can be bought everywhere? The role of ignorance this time: The Fenix mothers believed in a woman who was gang-raped after being chopped off by the gangster. Her blood stained the entire pool. People who have lost their arms cannot flap their wings, but they can possess powerful hatred. Looking at the so-called sufferings of other religions from another angle, would there be no absurdity?
The film begins with an adult Fenix who lives in a mental hospital and recalls the wonderful time he lived in the circus during his childhood: his father had an affair with a tattooed woman; after the church where his mother believed was destroyed, her father’s genitals were chopped off because of jealousy. Because of this, her father had her arms cut off; the beloved little girl was abducted by a tattooed woman. After witnessing all these tragedies, Fenix was unable to come into contact with human society and was sent to a mental hospital. One day, the mother who lost her arms came to the window and called Fenix to be her hands...
From the perspective of the plot, it is easy to think of the combination of Hitchcock's "Cry" and 1920's "Dr. Incarnation": Fenix, who was deeply tortured by his mother's hallucinations, killed every one of them. Women who may be close to each other, and when he wakes up, he finds that his mother who has been controlling him is just a model made by himself, and his hands are similar to those in "Dr. Incarnation": the so-called becomes another A person who can't control his own hands and kills, in fact, is only controlled by another himself.
When Fenix first appeared in a mental hospital, it was not only because of the eagle living on the trunk of the house and eating fish, but also because of the lifelike flying eagle tattoo on his chest. The tattoo was carved by his drunken and lustful greasy father in order to let him grow into a man. However, the dream of flying was made by Xiao Qingmei in order to comfort him. Dreaming forcibly bound him with incomparable pain, only the deaf and mute little Qingmei, whose hands were compared to the appearance of flying birds flapping their wings, stayed in his heart forever. For this only and last flight, his hands were stained with the blood of countless people following the howling of the devil. In the end, it was just a lie that woke up and fell into another filthy quagmire of reality. How could human hands fly out of the eagle's joy.
The tattooed woman was Fenix's first personality enlightenment. Even when he was ignorant of Xiaoqingmei, the debauchery of the tattooed woman had already been seeded in his heart: she was presumptuously showing off every organ of the body, and the universe, The sea, sky, fish, tigers, flowers, etc. have tattooed every inch of skin on the body, as if she is the representative of the most primitive impulse, the poisonous snake in the Garden of Eden, the sinful apple on the apple tree, and every bit of pleasure because The special meaning given by the process of human civilization is congestion, erection, and cheering. You can flirt with her unscrupulously and accept her teasing, but surrendering to her, who symbolizes primitive instinct, will only perish yourself.
Fenix’s father, who tried to copulate with a tattooed female, was killed by his wife who poured sulfuric acid on his genitals and ran into the street naked; after being a pimp, the soldiers she brought in tried to rape Xiao Qingmei, but Xiao Qingmei was also killed by Xiao Qingmei. Knocked his head. It wasn't until the adulthood that Fenix turned into his mother's resentment, jealousy and anger, and was slowly stabbed to death. The sharp knife here is similar to the knife used in the circus when Fenix was a child. Si did not forget to teach the newcomer to lick the knife like a tattooed woman, as if the lick was a hard and fragile existence), the last knife must be pierced into the position between the woman’s legs, making her nervous It seemed that he had just been broken into a virgin body.
The tattooed woman is the representative of the mature Fenix's sexual desire in adulthood. However, this enlightenment is accompanied by killing and lies, betrayal and shamelessness. The main culprit that made the Fenix family ruined is the tattooed woman, the sexual desire, and the dirty bargaining chip between men and women in the lower body. Therefore, when Fenix is an adult, when Fenix treats women with sexual desire or who tries to seduce him physically, His first reaction was the feeling of killing. The reason for the feeling of killing was because he ignorantly felt that the killing was painful, the desire was innocent, and the feeling was innocent, but he broke free from incompetence.
Sexual desire is contradictory. When you are young, sex and love are the same thing, but in middle age, it seems that sex and love are clearly distinguished. The contradiction of Fenix is that he recognizes the wrong sex and the right feelings, but is unable to reconcile the two. As a result, he could only helplessly paint every woman he killed with white paint, like a religious ceremony, expecting them to be reborn in the cold and humid grave, pure as a bride at a wedding. He is not murdering, he is saving, those women are all guilty, and their bodies are their original sin.
Fenix's second sexual enlightenment came from his religious mother. The mother returned home after the crazy apologetic movement failed. Fenix climbed onto the haystack to watch her mother make love in front of the animals. The lion behind him was silent, while the mother screamed ferociously up and down on his father. Even when she was having sex, her mother showed a senseless, even scary expression like confronting the police and the priest. When the howling of the wild beast stopped, blood poured out of the circus elephant's nose crazily, and it died.
Some part of Fenix also died together. What is resurrected after adulthood is the mother's sexual desire. However, her mother was betrayed and her husband had her arm amputated, so her sexuality was full of filthy and hateful sex. However, sexual desire is not controlled by emotions. Sexual desire exists objectively. Therefore, Fenix, who is deeply affected by the hallucinations of his mother, and the women who are likely to develop later, also have a male face and a masculine body. After satisfying the foreplay of sexual desire, kill them with revenge. After all, the mother has taken over the son, or the son has taken over the mother. This sinful relationship has turned them into a black hole, and anyone who approaches because of desire will be punished by the devil.
Only one person escaped all the nightmares, and that was Xiao Qingmei. The magic of the young Fenix smiled and had the courage to walk a tightrope on fire. In the twisted and dilapidated little alley, he escaped the pursuit of three soldiers and a tattooed woman. Fenix, who was deeply affected by his mother's grievances as an adult, was not afraid, and helped him find himself. I don't think such a pure, kind and brave girl really exists. Xiao Qingmei to Fenix, just like the doll representing her mother and the imaginary dwarf friend, only exists in Fenix's heart. It is precisely because Xiao Qingmei is so beautiful, when she walks through the streets full of skeletons in the early morning, walks through the sad dance groups of people in twos and threes, walks through the lively and bustling movie theaters, and walks in front of Fenix who wants to disappear completely. , I knew that Fenix, who was about to be ruined, would finally really wake up. The true innocence and kindness deep in his heart gave him freedom. When she faced the police and told him to raise his hands, he finally realized that his hands could be raised freely by his own will, and he could fly!
When he was a child, Fenix talked with his dwarf friend and said that his mother said that his father had killed a woman. The dwarf friend regretted that he would never go back. As an adult, Fenix was bothered by the double shadow of his father and mother. Despite his ferocity, he used killing in exchange for the peace of his own side, and in exchange for the tragic climax of the film. The imaginary mother doll was thrown downstairs and smashed to pieces and burned. The imaginary childhood dwarf friend disappeared in the air. The former circus partners disappeared, leaving only the support that supported him to find freedom. Xiao Qingmei's fantasy is his living faith and the pillar of all his spiritual ideas. In the man's body, there is also a woman who makes him crazy.
