Looks like he's shat himself. I thought it was a bird on the blob until I read your comment.

your actually RIGHT!
in the movie, he sits there, pulls out a cut throat razor and hacks away large chunks of his own flesh, and blood goes up the wall a bit. its really freaky, the dudes movements are really jerky and messed up. then eventually god dies and YES! fully unloads his anal cavity all over the floor and his feet. its like the horrible black muck falls down the legs. once that has happened, "mother earth" appears from behind the chair and dances around holding her bewbs, before getting gods Koch out and making him jizz (while dead) and then she rubs the jizz into her womanly parts to get herself pregnant.

thats all true! i watched a large portion of this film but ive never seen the end.

the son of god & mother earth is deaf dumb and blind. he gets beaten to death while rolling around in dirt by these monk like characters.

it wasnt made that long ago. but the whole things is really hi contrast black and white, and the actors are part of the directors theatre troope i think.

:lol:

I've seen part of Begotten because someone made a video for an Electric Wizard song on youtube using parts from it. Dont know if I want to see the whole thing, it looks pretty weird and disturbing.

maybe covers taken from paintings don't really count, but this one is gorgeous. and the album is a classic.

From Wikipedia:

Quote
The film opens with a robed, profusely bleeding "God" disemboweling himself, with the act ultimately ending in his death. A woman emerges from his remains, arouses the body, and impregnates herself with his ejaculate. Becoming pregnant, she wanders off into a vast and barren landscape. The pregnancy manifests in a fully grown man whom she leaves to his own devices.

The "Son of Earth" meets a group of faceless nomads who seize him with what is either a very long umbilical cord or a rope. The Son of Earth vomits organic pieces, and the nomads excitedly accept these as gifts. The nomads finally bring the man to a fire and burn him.

"Mother Earth" encounters the resurrected man and comforts him. She seizes the man with a similar umbilical cord. The nomads appear and proceed to rape her. Son of Earth is left to mourn over the lifeless body. A group of characters appears, carry her off and dismember her, later returning for Son of Earth. After he, too, is dismembered, the group buries the remains, planting the parts into the crust of the earth. The burial site becomes lush with flowers.

So.  Not one for Mothers Day then..?
