Sevrina in "Beauty by Daylight" is Catherine Devna's most beautiful moment, and a puzzling and captivating screen presence. The Spanish surrealist master Buñuel became famous in the magical film "An Andalusian Dog" cooperating with Dali. This film naturally has fantasy and a reality that is even more magical than fantasy. A middle-class woman dressed in designer clothes secretly goes into prostitution without her handsome and gentle doctor husband, experiencing the thrill of adventure, not only will she be exposed by acquaintances, but will also provoke obsessed gangsters to kill her husband and take love. The tragedy is Fate. A powerful story, bewildering characters, and a means of expressing fantasy and reality, the combination of all three earned Buñuel a Golden Lion in 1967. Usually interpreted as the emptiness of the middle class, but it seems that compared with Tom's "Eyes Open", the collective attribute of class is much weaker, and more of an individual pathology, which is applicable to Freud.
