I would like to call this film one of the 20th century mystical films. It is full of satire and deviant. Buñuel staged an absurd comedy for the audience. From the very beginning, he found that this film is not simple. , the plot development seems to be arbitrary and unconnected, but it is actually connected and driven by several key characters, from a gentleman with a sleep disorder, to a nurse visiting his father, to a professor who is teased by the police, and finally to find and Parents without missing children, some of the things that happened to the characters are very intriguing. For example, taking photos of buildings as yellow photos is a deconstruction of architectural aesthetics, and a monk who starts gambling after praying is a criticism of religion. The businessman who likes to play sm is of course a hobby. The incestuous love between a nephew and an aunt goes against tradition and morality. What metaphors do the images of rooster, ostrich, and fox represent? To be honest, I don't really see what happened to the professor. It is also very interesting. Several people are sitting on the toilet and chatting in a serious manner. The layout of the bathroom and the restaurant is very intriguing. The parents who are looking for their daughter who is not missing and doing a series of things can be understood as right. Contempt for the rules, forms, and authority of adult society, where the father of a child who looks healthy but is diagnosed with terminal liver cancer by a doctor is a question of medicine, and the acquittal of a death row prisoner is a question of legal fairness. This movie is not only unexpected in the development of the plot, but also eclectic in the post-production of lines, editing, soundtrack, etc., especially the background sound at the end is the sound of the execution scene at the beginning, and it is also another form of end-to-end echo. . Finally, "I'm fed up with symmetry".
