    The priest who wanted to be a gardener killed the old gardener who killed his parents in deathbed confession; only frequent awakenings, no clear opportunity to fall into a dream, no idea when the dream started; food is never eaten, and people are always in the country Walking along the path, strange dreams and memories are suddenly inserted into the plot to be told. The absurd is in a loop, the metaphors are dazzling, and finally give up solving the puzzle and immerse in the paradoxical...

    1. A dinner party that was not successful for six people ended up being eaten by one person. A ritual of collusion in a public space—a pure satiated meal in a private space. 2. The cross connection of dreams and dreams is straight in the middle and straight outside. When the curtain is drawn, the civilized people are astonished and horrified as if they were naked. 3. Overshadowed dialogue, silence is better than sound. 4. The ingenuity and irony in the plot and details make people...

    Make sins, let the bishop and servants reincarnate to kill, you will die; tell lies, let the secret agents arrest the revolutionaries, nowhere to protest; put on a mask, let the hypocritical and harmonious society, let the people live; greedy lamb legs, let endless desire Devour yourself, exploit and oppress. But even if the family has 10,000 taels of gold, 1,000 acres of fertile land, even if you have the power to protect you and do whatever you want, even if the bishop wants to be a gardener...

    1. Dreaming, eating, and on the road; but the dream is always awakened, the meal is always restless, and the road is always endless. 2. The poster is very interesting: the hat represents the dream, the dream is empty and black; the red lips represent the desire (to eat) that can never be obtained, but also keep thinking about it; the legs represent the road, only know how to walk, even if there is no direction, no turn. 3. This is the bourgeoisie? Absurd dreams, endless desires and a path...

    Bunuel's irony is too strong, and it has just played the bourgeoisie badly. It’s not easy for the bourgeoisie to eat meals that are always disturbed, have dreams of being constantly awakened, and be satirized by...
