The Dilemma of the Mind - What Limits My Freedom

A group of high-class elites, dressed in exquisite costumes, arrive at a luxurious villa to celebrate the latest artwork released by one of them. After the dinner, they seem to be trapped by some mysterious force, and no one has been able to since then. Stepping out of this mysterious hall, it was evident that they were collectively trapped by something that neither of them could say. Finally, one of the crowd proposed to repeat the events of the first day they came to the...

Shipwreck Survivors on the Road of Providence

About five months ago, I watched a movie with someone very (fast) often (ein) (schlafen), as the best prophetic movie of the past month, I think it is still an obligation to document this genius Director's work. It is also a ridiculous drama in the same room. I doubt whether Feng Junhao's team has humbly studied this "Destroying Angel" by Louis Buñuel. Although the title of the film is inexplicably reminiscent of Wong Kar-wai, there is no such thing as canned pineapple at all. The warm part...

religious allegory

This film is still aimed at religion. Don't forget Nuer's consistent purpose of anti-religious hypocrisy, and the film is already telling the audience what his intentions are. People enter the religious house and are reluctant to come out because of the inherent laziness of human nature. As well as the chaos and disorder of the politics of the outside world, people cannot escape the so-called labyrinth of beliefs and ideologies. Even if it's a very simple way, I can't figure it out. The...

ideological barrier

Quite a simple movie. But the angle is good.

It may be easy to walk from one room to another, but many can imagine how difficult it is when we exit one faith and enter the next. Although the middle of the film is a bit dull and weird, the end of the church is a clear explanation.

More than one person has mentioned to me that it is very easy for people to start believing in an ideology, especially a religious ideology, but when you want to quit, it is even more difficult....

Roger Ebert on "Destroying Angels" (self-translation)

The Chicago Sun-Times, May 11, 1997

The guests of the dinner filed in. They walked up the steps into the wide porch... Then came another wave of people - the same guests, but this time from a higher stand. Audiences soon discovered the beauty of the joke: guests came one after the other and couldn't leave.

Luis Buñuel's "Angel of Destruction" (1962) is a thriller comedy that reveals the brutal nature and elusive secrets of us "savages"...

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...
