"An Andalusian Dog" "An Andalusian Dog" is hailed as the originator of surrealism. This film by Bunurai is only 16 minutes long, but it has a great influence on later generations. The film doesn't seem to have any logic at all. The last shot is still a cut eye, and the next shot, the eye is intact again; the man's hand is clearly locked out of the door, but in a blink of an eye, he is lying down again wearing a childish baby clothes. in bed. From the analysis of the actual plot, there is no logic at all. If the symbolic meaning of the objects in the film is extended, it seems to be able to explain. "An Andalusian Dog" revolves around the protagonists of a man and a woman. Influenced by Freud, the film not only shows the relationship between the sexes, but also hides the human self, the id, and the superego. Relationship. The relationship between men and women has gone through a long process of confrontation and finally moved towards unity. At the beginning of the film, the man holds a razor, looks at the bright moon outside the window, and cuts open the woman's eyes. The man's razor symbolizes masculinity, and the moon and eyes symbolize femininity. This section symbolizes the irreconcilable contradictions in the relationship between men and women. The woman is angry, and the man is looking for the woman in baby clothes. The man in baby clothes is the perfect man in the heart of women. She does not spare her kisses, comforts him, and manipulates him on the bed, making clothes and boxes neatly arranged. Put on the bed. A woman's armpit, and an ant in a man's hand, are an obscure sexual organ and a symbol of male semen. The relationship between the two has eased at the expense of the man's change. But as the world outside the window changes, the relationship between the two is contradictory again. The woman in the suit fiddled with the severed hand of the symbolic organ, attracting the crowd of onlookers on the street. The men and women watched from the window, which symbolized a desire for sexual openness, but was carried out by the police who symbolized the powerful government. To suppress, the woman in a suit had to put away her severed hand and stood blankly on the street, and was eventually crushed by the passing vehicles, that is, the development of the indifferent social industry. Although the external trend has disappeared, it has affected the man's heart. He begins to release himself and ravage women's bodies. Women escape and confront each other. Men are not only satisfied with the openness of their sexual consciousness, but also begin to despise their own class and carry their backs. Pianos with filthy animal carcasses, symbolic of the middle class, dragged the flesh of clergymen across the room. Incomprehensible, the woman began to escape, pinching the man's ant-covered hand. The man's sexuality was once again suppressed. The relationship between the two soon eased up again. The man was lying on the bed in a baby clothes, and the woman expressed tenderness, but the man was struggling in his heart, and the little man in his heart carried on. A quarrel ended with one of the men being shot with a pistol that symbolized sex, the male symbol of the other me, falling on the smooth back of the woman, and finally succumbing to sex. The relationship between men and women began to ease, but men gradually felt that they had lost their right to speak, but women became dissatisfied with men who were too well-behaved, painted red lips, and seduced men again, but what greeted them was the burial of men who suppressed themselves. The woman looked at the moth full of death with a skull on the wall, but walked hand in hand with the man by the sea, leisurely and happy, seemingly harmonious. But at the end of the film, both men and women are buried in the ground, symbolizing that until death, the contradictions between the sexes exist and cannot be reconciled once and for all, and the fight of human self-consciousness will also exist forever.
