Surrealism does not mean that it cannot be deciphered. The director must have his film's worldview structure, and there must be many clues to be found. The so-called absurdity also has its logic. Morality is a social product that opposes the desires in the heart of human beings. A good-looking photo is "beauty", but this kind of "beauty" is opposed by morality. Human ethics is more inclined to be like Islamic women's scarves, so I appreciate the spider's "beauty" Ugly" is the correct aesthetic, and freedom is indeed an illusion. Humans are selfish by nature, just like animals, and food is to be enjoyed alone. When people excrete, their reproductive organs are exposed, and people are curious and like them, but human morality is to resist rejection. Incest and sm exist in reality, but morality (freedom) opposes them. The chief of police has a relatively large amount of freedom, but loses his own freedom by infringing on the freedom of others (annoying the gravekeeper). Murder is freedom. The real freedom is that you can do anything. People call for freedom, in essence, they want to gain more benefits. People do it secretly, but morality is the opposite: they cannot harm the interests of others. At the end of the film, the police go to the zoo to suppress animals and the truth is revealed. Animals symbolize freedom, humans imprison animals, humans oppose freedom, and humans call for freedom. The condemned prisoner was freed, and shouted down freedom, and came to the conclusion that there is no real freedom, the phantom of freedom is nothingness of freedom.
