Core symbols: hand/armpit/female/male/hate/love. Combining these symbols organically and giving them a certain logical display is not only the meaning of film history, but also has a certain reference meaning for the viewer's thinking. The avant-garde cinema has always followed the words of Hamlet: there are a thousand spectators, and there are a thousand Hamlet. I have always held a view that the author himself may have some intention to express, or no intention to express, and finally it is manifested in the form of influence. As a viewer, there is no need to over-explore the content that the author wants to express. Feeling is what you get, and everyone must have a different understanding based on their different situations. The emergence of avant-garde films is definitely the advancement of film history, and it is also developing along the trend of art history. It shows that film, as the closest and most authentic art, is limited to expressing reality. It also laid the foundation for future feature films to integrate realism and surrealism.

Finally, I watched this film on YouTube, and it was praised by various people online, but I personally said that I watched it inexplicably. Of course, this is a film that I cannot understand.

I want to say that Buñuel has so many evil fantasies, it turns out to be the result of cooperation with Dali! The cut eyeballs, the ants crawling out of the palms of the hands, the dead donkeys on the piano, all the surrealist images are staged one after another, and they are breathtaking! Too much interpretation will lose the madness and irrationality of dreams, but in the era when Freudian theory prevailed, every subconscious image was reflecting the psychological state and potential desires of Buñuel and Dali.
