Sveta krv
Original title: Santa Sangre
1989

A former circus artist escapes from a mental hospital to rejoin his armless mother - the leader of a strange religious cult - and is forced to enact brutal murders in her name as he becomes "her arms".

A young man -- starving, nearly catatonic and barely responsive -- is confined in a sanitarium. He is taken on a field trip along with other residents to the city's red-light district. There, he encounters by chance a woman from his past, triggering a series of flashbacks. We see that he was traumatized as a child, when he and his family were circus performers, and when he witnessed a murder/suicide: his father -- an American expatriate living in Mexico under suspicious circumstances -- cuts off the arms of his beloved mother, a possessive wife and religious fanatic who led a heretical church called "Santa Sangre (Holy Blood)," the members of which worshipped a martyred girl whose arms were severed by her father following her rape, and then commit suicide. Back in the present, buttressed by shock of his remembrance, he escapes the sanitarium and, in a series of hallucinations and dream-fulfillments, believes he has rejoined his armless mother. He "becomes her arms" and the "two" undertake a grisly campaign of murder and revenge.

Kosta je stajao na tankoj crti, floroscentno plave boje... Osećao je da isijava sopstvenom unutrašnjom svetlošću i da ima razloga što stoji na crti, koju je između ostalog, da spomenemo, sam stvorio. Oko Koste i crte nema ničega. Kosta je u mraku i njemu je to bilo dovoljno. Taj mrak je bio njegov, on je zamislio takav mrak... Kosta je poželeo da se pored njega, u mraku, pojavi božanstvena, prelepa boginja-muza, koja će ga napojiti svojim inspirativnim darovima. Muza se pojavila i bila je slepa. Znao je da će biti slepa, to je i želeo. Stajala je kao kip, kao živi slepi mit. Uživao je. Napajao se „božanstvenom“ energijom svoje boginje. Disao je duboko i teško, osetio je da mu se disanje usporava i da srce počinje jako da mu udara. Uplašio se... Boginja je ostala nema i sjajno slepa. Njeno slepilo je isijavalo snažnu, belu, svetlost koju Kosta sada više nije mogao da podnese. Želeo je nazada u svoj mrak. Ništa više, samo nazad u  svoj mrak. Sve je nestalo... Ostao je mrak i florosce...

  Outcome On Gunpoint Ishod Na Nišanu "Ode to Loyalty" Thought ... Like a razor, like a flash of light like a red diamond, like a dot. * A boat full of feelings is flying these days With a crust of heavy imagination Unreachable ideal In funeral gowns With empty hands - with no sense A little different from understanding anything On the horizon of a magnificent sight Under masks Under dry branches With the feeling of stuck rotten leaves on the soles With tears in his eyes and big pupils full of obedience and fear ... Then, it means a lot An ode to loyalty In trouble On a stone path Among the thorns On the edge... "Oda O Odanosti"   Misao, misao, misao... Kao oštrica brijača, kao udar svetla kao crveni dijamant, kao tačka. * Jurca ovih dana barka puna osećanja, Sa korom tvrde mašte, Nepostižnih ideala U odorama Praznih ruku - bez smisla Malo drugačije od poimanja bilo čega Na obzorju veličanstvenog prizora Pod maskama Ispod suvih grana Sa osećajem zalepljenog trulog l...

1. Хришћанска Вера, Аријанство, Први Васељенски Сабор - Симбол Вере    "... Шта је хришћанска вера? Хришћанска вера је Христово знање о најважнијим тајнама бића и живота, које знање људи могу примити само веровањем у Њега, а не својим сопственим напорима. Које су најважније тајне о бићу и животу о којима само Христос има право знање? То су: Тајна о невидљивим стварностима: о Богу, о анђелима, о људској души; Тајна о стварању света и његовом свршетку; Тајна о непрестаном Божјем вођењу човека и човечанства одређеном циљу, а по Његовој премудрости и сили; Тајна о човековом греху и паду и о његовом спасењу кроз богооваплоћење; Тајна о царству Божјем као крајњем циљу човековог земаљског живота и о правом путу који води томе циљу, тј. о понашању човека према себи, према ближњем и према Богу. Тајна о васкрсењу из мртвих, о последњем суду и о вечном животу. Нису ли и неки други верски учитељи, мислиоци и философи покушавали да објасне ове тајне? Јесу многи од њих. Али то су чинили сам...
