    #重看# I revisited it for the third time in June 2018. I am still very fascinated by the scattered and narrated dreams. The insertion and break of the dreams are very similar to those of Laurouz. It satirizes the upper class in the classical way of One Thousand and One Nights. Social sentient beings are absurd and satirical; walking on the road (the same scene in "Beauty Spring and Autumn") can be regarded as the "interlude" of the never-ending meal and the endless...

    The usual and even solemn images of politics and the middle class enter Buñuel's "Zi", but they become deformed and ridiculous, different from the symbolic symbols of the early "An Andalusian Dog", the long shots in "Zi" and The in-scene scheduling superimposes multiple independent conflicts and dreams to create the effect of a stage play. It depicts impossible dinner parties in absurd form, like a careful but constantly controlled...

    There is a lot of comedy, and some details are humorous enough. As the title says, the whole film basically belongs to high-level black, while Buñuel's black is bourgeois, and the detailed performance and dreams of the characters are enough to reflect the false side of the bourgeoisie. Buñuel also retains his radical attitude towards atheism, which is reflected in the pastor's job search clip 2019/8/20, the star is over, don't comment on so many...

    A meal that can't be eaten, a dreamland of mountains and mountains. Death, sex, religion, war and crime, events that disturb dinner parties are often the topics that the upper class loves to talk about at dinner parties. The insertion of dreams and waking up frequently interrupt the narrative line, and it may be impossible to distinguish the starting point of the dream, while the overall narrative is presented in a coherent and orderly manner. Buñuel bought the Oscar for $25,000, "despite the...

    I don't understand, the whole film is like an experiment about symbols, symbols, metaphors, allusions, irony... , there is no story at all. When I watched it, I kept thinking about the meaning of the role of the sister of one of the heroines. The first highly praised film review seemed to clear my doubts: "The only one who is outside of this group of people who have gathered together due to various bad relationships is Florence, she is an outlier separated from the crowd, she is a virtue Mrs....

    The bourgeoisie is always on the road, wandering endlessly, having an uneaten dinner, and dreaming in a dream that it cannot wake up from. Hypocritical decency, corrupt inside, friendship maintained by interests, and scams caused by cheating. The mother turns into a ghost to lure her father to murder; the deceased mother is encountered on the street; the dinner party is opened and turned into a theater performance; the priest kills the atonement; the ghost of the police officer releases the...

    1. Constantly approaching extremes, self-repeating stories, Buñuel uses repetition to determine the existence of things. 2. Only in dreams can life become so interesting and limitless. "Don't worry that my movie will be too short, I'll just add a dream." 3. The ghost of death permeates the whole movie. 4. Muni's appearance is still...
