A collection of disorderly and chaotic scenes~~~ I heard that the source of the story is an inexplicable nightmare of the director~~~ From a dark cloud passing over the moon and directly switching to a woman's eyeballs being cut open by a razor~~ The white matter inside is flowing out, very cruel~~~

In fact, the world has always been in chaos and cruelty. The director just intercepted some of the scenes and showed them to the audience. Whether they understand it or spit it like garbage, they It has always been around us and cannot be escaped. Even if you close your eyes and pretend you can't see it, it has penetrated into the bone marrow, like the helical structure of genes that cannot be changed.

The whole film is 15 minutes and 38 seconds long, and always uses brisk music It is the keynote, but the cheerful melody is accompanied by visual violence again and again. It is a black and white film made in 1929. The technique may seem outdated now, but the confusion and insecurity that has always haunted all mankind continues like a curse in the present world.

The incomprehensible nightmare-style silent film, symbolizing technique, camera switching, these techniques are too damn good, cutting my eyes at the beginning, really shocked me, 29 years of technology. Bunuel is invincible.

→The Spanish director who lived in France and the surrealist painter Salvador Dali wrote it together. The film, like "The Shell and the Monk", does not have any unifying logical clues. What is described is just a hazy poetic world, the purpose is to use the metaphor of direct visual image to express the feeling and vibration of the soul... The first surrealist Lautreamon said, "An umbrella and a sewing machine are in the Meeting on the operating table is also beautiful."
