Buñuel's name seems to be inseparable from surrealism, as if the experimental short film called "An Andalusian Dog" with Dali continued to emit some mysterious and dazzling light in the minds of the general public, while Such a label, powerful as it may be, ultimately fails to conceal the truly monumental masterpieces of Buñuel's film career spanning more than half a century. 1961's "Biridiana" is one of its most important works. As the second part of the religious trilogy, the theme of Handel's Messiah "Hallelujah" in the title has been revealed. The first half of the film is about whether the person who needs to be rescued can really be redeemed: the autistic and melancholic nobleman, but falls in love with his niece as a nun, and even tries to possess her at one point, it seems that he can only play on his dilapidated organ Bach's music came to temporarily seek peace, but in the end he still chose to commit suicide. The second half is about the helplessness of the Savior. Bilidiana's religious utopia ends with a frenzied party of beggars, who culminate in that famous "Last Supper" look to the record sound of a B minor mass that pushes the sarcasm to the top. And the nun ended up at the poker table of her once-loathed bourgeois cousin.

One of Buñuel's "religious trilogy", about a devout nun Verityna's shattered faith. 1. The nun witnessed the hypocrisy, cunning, and deceit of the upper class (uncle's "incestuous affection" for her, illegitimate son's covetousness for her cousin), and the ugly, hideous, and gluttonous desires of beggars at the bottom. 2. She thought that she could change the world by virtue of her persistent and kind behavior, but the world was chaotic and chaotic. The religion he believed in brought her only harm (question of religion, denial of human nature). She is like a light, trying to light up the darkness, but in the end she is swallowed by the darkness. 3. The religious music on the record player is the background music for the implementation of sinful and gluttonous carnival scenes, and it is also a great irony. In the end, it becomes a modern pop music-Velitiana goes to a new era. 4. The "Last Supper"-style stand-up processing is a classic scene that has been imitated countless times in the history of movies.

It's ironic that the homeless mix and match "The Last Supper". Verityna is a Virgin in the story, but Buñuel dyed a Virgin with water as clear as gray. The purity of the rape was raped, the skipping rope representing joy was used as a hanging rope, and the crown of thorns representing Christ was burned. Not only the homeless, everyone wears a face of greed and desire, whether they are poor or rich.

Jorge: How can you enjoy living like this and spending so much time alone?
Viridiana: I'm not like you. You have your wife.
Jorge: She's not my wife. I don't need anyone's blessing to live with a woman.
