Because Quote by Alejandro Jodorowsky
“'Santa Sangre' is the picture I love the best, myself, because 'El Topo' and 'The Holy Mountain' I made with my head, and 'Santa Sangre' I made with my feelings, with my heart. It's an emotional picture. And it's more real for me, that picture.”

![“... if [a photograph is] unbelievably real it becomes superreal or another kind of super real, better than real... [it] also can be, I think, so heartfelt that you almost can get a pang of compassion for the thing.” quote by Ralph Eugene Meatyard](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/121/ralph-eugene-meatyard-48015_compassion_if-a-photograph-is-unbelievably-real-it_929695.jpg)
