Director Statement
Whether your wish comes true or not, the future will tell you.
I am an optimistic person who is hopeful in every step of life. There was a point of time when it felt that no matter what I longed for, nothing would occur. It has been 7 to 8 years since I studied film and nothing has happened, so I’ve become lost within myself. I didn’t feel like talking to anyone. Negative thoughts began to enslave me. Seeing only selfish individuals around, I became enraged with everyone. Then my thoughts overtook me, and I went to commit suicide. I attempted killing myself twice, but it’s not simple. During, that phase of my life the idea of rotten blood came to me, and I began to play with it in my heart and head. It piques my interest. My heart shifted its focus away from suicide and toward the making of rotten blood. The big reason of making rotten blood is that it has been my friend who saved my life. This film is a Rage against greed, self-interest, deception, and urbanization that can be seen in today’s human characters. If such cast of mind persists, in future it is possible to see such characters. Those whose ears, noses, and eyes were suffocated by clothing. Hands and legs will be cuffed. I have used black cloth as a symbol of protest. Foods were not consumed through mouth, and reproduction was not achieved by conception. God was used as a tool to satisfy self-interest. The film was made to depict these rages, and visual effects were used extensively.
