Later generations said that, in fact, " An Andalusian Dog " and " Golden Age " were the mother of all subsequent films, and the ideological themes of the later films were born out of them. Of course, this is also suspected of being over-interpreted by later generations, but in the 1930s, the art of film was just entering the public eye, and Buñuel was able to give that kind of profound and grand things to this flowing picture, which was enough for later people to say Non-stop! I only watched Buñuel systematically at the end of last year. "An Andalusian Dog" and "The Golden Age" were still in the silent film era, and the things they expressed were really surreal. At that time, movies should have been treated as works of art. There are too many things in these two movies, I can only feel one or two, but I can't say very deep door words. "Boundless Land" is a documentary, but it is a long time ago, and the picture quality of station B is very bad, so I didn't watch it carefully. "The Forgotten People " is similar to " No One Knows " by Hirokazu Koreeda. The main resources and rights of society are too poor for the lower classes. The happiness and decency that people have thought about must be achieved by striving to reach the most basic level recognized by society.
I only got into Buñuel's expression when I saw " Nazarin " and " Viridiana " and was completely fascinated by him.
Both of them are about doubting religion, and the hypocrisy of religion is excavated by him skillfully and deeply. The blind goodness of Nazalin and Velidian, they have no power to fight back against the ordinary evil in reality. The goodness preached by religion, the white lotus flower, and blind tolerance also seem foolish. The ultimate things that these religions pursue are ineffective, and they will be defeated by evil, and they will endure the ridicule of evil. The good and evil of society must be guaranteed by the legal system. Without these coercive things, human nature will slide to the evil side.
Watching these two films, I thought of a previous exhibition by a foreign female performance artist. She just stood naked in the public eye. At first, people just commented, then some people laughed lightly, and then some people started to doodle on her body, and then slowly began to use some sharp tools to draw on her body, and finally many people turned out to be unscrupulous to her. body for indecent insults. This exhibition completely records the whole process of the transformation of human nature from good to evil. Therefore, if the public is allowed to express their democracy and freedom without any scruples, society will not change for the better, on the contrary, it will turn into populism or even street violence. Today, some places or countries are in chaos and chaos, and a large part is the result of blind pursuit and imitation of liberal democracy.
Regarding religion, Buñuel also has a film called "Simon in the Desert," which satirizes the asceticism and deceitfulness of Christianity.
Desire is always a part of human nature, and even plays a decisive role in the good and evil of human nature. Buñuel's most famous and far-reaching explorations of human desire are " Beauty by Daylight " and " The Obscure Purpose of Desire "", "The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie" also counts as one. "Beauty in the Day" let me see that there is probably a fox in every woman's heart. The whole movie is an obscene spring dream made by the heroine. The idea is also very clever. There will be that desire! But thinking about everyone's private parts, there are probably some strange and unreasonable little hobbies. "The Obscure Purpose of Desire" tells the story of the desire of an old man. The narrative of the film has always been from the perspective of an old man, and there will inevitably be Rashomon. Men and women have been hurting each other, and they miss each other again. The girl has never let men get her. It seems to give people the feeling of being holy, but immediately something overthrew her, saying that those are all fakes, and the man wants to cut off this relationship. , but I couldn't stop thinking about it. The reason for this asymmetry is finally attributed to the age difference. There are too many choices for women, and men panic about their own age. Therefore, youth is the greatest capital. There is no right or wrong in the intertwined emotions of men and women, and once they were tender and sweet, it seems that the vicious revenge at that time was also the deepest hatred of love. If they were angry again, they said that they were in love with each other. It is also the most vivid summary of our old saying "the head of the bed and the end of the bed". At the end of the film, the man and woman embrace each other and reconcile, but in the blink of an eye, they glared at each other. Marriage and love hurt each other! Then have fun in the hurt! " The Prudential Charm of the Bourgeoisie " pushes people's hypocrisy to a deeper level. All people's daily life is a performance, an illusion. Society is a big stage, but it's more exciting than seeing who's performing.
A master is a master, and everything expressed is profound and serious and lifelike, which makes people feel immersed in it quickly, and sincerely praises the director's allegorical life.
At the current stage of the development of the film, it is estimated that the improvement in all aspects is stronger than that in the past, but why are there so few directors who express this kind of expression now?
I saw a sentence a few days ago. I have never heard of Luo Dayou, and it seems that "Two Butterflies" sounds pretty cool. I'm learning to apply it now. I haven't seen anything from the older generation of filmmakers such as Buñuel. It seems that our domestically produced bad films also have great places. The height and width of our aesthetic taste are all determined by our vision. Watching a movie is a long process, both producers and fans are a drop in the ocean for the movie industry. Only when you use yourself as a sponge to absorb more bits and pieces of past movies can you truly find the fun that movies bring to us, and then Really find your place!
