At the beginning of the postscript of "An Andalusian Dog", a man (let's call him Man A, he is the role played by the artist in his daily life) cuts the woman's eyeball with a razor, and a jelly-like lens flows out, which seems very cruel , and the artist uses this "self-criticism" to tell the audience: if the "self" in daily life breaks the conventional perspective, turns his eyes and turns to himself, he will see a different scenery. What happens next is like a dream, just as time and space are completely confused in a dream. Similarly, the various timelines and space boundaries that appear in the film do not need to be calculated. The most reliable thing to understand about the film is human instinct and The sense of art. A man in baby clothes rides down the street. Let's call him Man B for the time being, he is the artist's artistic self, but he is not artistically mature at this time. There was a small box hanging on his chest. I don't know what was in it, but it was certain that this small box was born with him. Man B doesn't realize what the box means because he's "young". He was "in a coma" at the door of his house, implying that his consciousness was "unknown" and "immature". The camera changes, and a man in a suit and leather shoes appears. Let's call him Man C for the time being. He is also the artist's artistic self, but compared to Man B, he is obviously more mature and sensitive. He was staring at his palm, which was about to be eaten up by black ants, mature and sensitive, he had seen death. He continued to look down along the black hole in the palm of his hand: A beautiful lady on the street fiddled with a severed palm that was still bloodied, surrounded by a group of curious people, the restlessness of the crowd was suppressed by a few policemen. One of the policemen picked up the severed palm, put it in a small box and returned it to the woman, which was exactly the same as the one hanging on the chest of man A. The pretty lady held the box to her chest and stood in the middle of the road in a loss. A passing car hit her, and her beautiful young life ended. All this was seen by the man C standing by the glass window, and he also realized at this moment: the little box that was born with him was hiding death. Not only was he staring at the doomed death himself, but he urged his girlfriend to do so. Seeing death and nothingness, the artist does not have nothing to do. In order to get rid of the feeling of nothingness brought about by death, Man C first turned his attention to his girlfriend's body. The girlfriend was frightened and refused to cooperate, and the physical desire of man C became difficult to fill. Dogs will jump over the wall when they are anxious, and similar things will happen to people at certain times. Man C has again diverted his attention. He pursues and satisfies sensuality, or sublimates sensuality, by means of artistic performance. The process of sublimation is full of struggle: he drags two pianos (symbols of art) with difficulty with two ropes, but the heavy sensuality completely resists this artistic sublimation. The dead donkey was pressing on the piano, the rope was tied with pumpkins and floor tiles, and two people were tied, these things representing carnal desire were hindering the progress of the piano. This is the real process of art when it happens: moving forward in contradictions, full of stormy waves. This process is both painful and colorful. The girlfriend was frightened again and entered the next room. She held the door against the door and prevented man C from entering. The black hole and black ants that could not be escaped appeared in the palm of the hand that came in through the crack of the door. Man B is lying on the bed in this room, the doorbell rang, and man D entered the room. Man D can be understood as a senior artist. The purpose of his appearance is to educate young man B to grow into man C. He tore off the baby clothes on Man B and made him think. The next paragraph is very romantic, the characters in the camera become blurred and blurred, the background music becomes very warm, and slow motion also appears: man D handed the book rich in artistic nourishment to the man B facing the wall, his eyes are full of The high expectations of the seniors. Man B took the books. When Man D left, the two books suddenly turned into two pistols. Man B mercilessly aimed at Man D and pulled the trigger. At the moment of being shot, man D's eyes were extremely happy, because he knew that B had matured and had the ability to "revolution" himself. Girlfriend meets man C again, the shadow of death still hangs over them, they are mirror images of each other at this time, inseparable. But his girlfriend wanted to get rid of him, she walked out of the room, went to the beach full of sunshine, met man A, and immediately hooked up. They decide to live in "self-deception", but this life is baptized by darkness.
