I don't like this movie very much, even though I know it's interesting and valuable, this dislike is like I don't like eating lychees very much, and sometimes I still eat it. The structure of the film is very similar to the production process of "Boiled Cabbage". I also thought of a similar arrangement before. For example, a film is about a group of elementary school students almost all the time, and there are too many indoor scenes. Finally, there is a one-minute adult story suddenly. , to...

In order to escape the pain of life and the fear of nature, human beings have retreated into the territory of ideology and religious belief. Our naturally flexible hands and feet have become rigid feet in the leather of social norms. The only way to break out of the cocoon is to reflect on the original pursuit and meaning of life....

Who trapped them, and who trapped themselves? Buñuel's movies don't seem to be very shocking after watching any of them, but there are always many new things to amuse...

6th 20210125 Watched it again, my favorite movie. The host held a dinner party, the servants and chefs left early, and everyone who attended the banquet was troubled by mysterious power and could not leave. Think of Hans in "The Magic Mountain" who was stranded in a nursing home for nearly ten years. In real life, it may be even worse, and some people are trapped in some kind of conscious complex for a...

For such a pure film, only Bunuel can be astonishing. Compared with his other films, the surreal portrayal of this film is not much, but it has added more weird techniques. The exaggeration and boredom of the bourgeoisie, the self-disguise to the point of obliteration, is shown in an almost absurd...

In addition to simple religious symbols: crown of thorns, lamb and bear, Buñuel's uniqueness lies in how to eliminate the boundaries between reality and illusion, hints and metaphors, and under the solid foundation of reality is the change of pain and curse, from close to reality Capturing the essential deformation in a clear gesture: the characters in the film cannot get out of their own predicament. This predicament is more spiritual than that of class—the predicament of human beings who have...

The door that can't get out looks plain on the surface, but in fact it shows a unease beyond the surreal of the image. Civilization is about to collapse, but it is reborn with self-paralysis, and the cycle is repeated. It is a superb...

Works from the Mexican period of Buñuel. Compared to his NBSS plays, the audiovisual language is rather lacking and blunt in the first hour. It wasn't until a certain "revelation" at the end that the very fancy editing of each person's subjective mirror was pulled back. His problem is that if you don't shoot so-called surreal passages, you won't be able to meet the audience's expectations. Woody Allen's tribute in [Midnight in Paris] is this...

One Hundred Ways of Not Getting Out of the Room, as the antithesis of The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie, was clearly more appealing to me than not being able to eat. The collapse of civilization after being imprisoned by an invisible wall is a very common theme, but the conception and entry point are really unique. The surreal just dilutes the sense of absurdity and exaggeration, and it appears very ordinary. People hesitate to go out and walk to the door, like asking free will: Can I want...
