religious allegory

This film is still aimed at religion. Don't forget Nuer's consistent purpose of anti-religious hypocrisy, and the film is already telling the audience what his intentions are. People enter the religious house and are reluctant to come out because of the inherent laziness of human nature. As well as the chaos and disorder of the politics of the outside world, people cannot escape the so-called labyrinth of beliefs and ideologies. Even if it's a very simple way, I can't figure it out. The anti-religious nature of Nuer was actually aimed at the absurdity of the Catholic Church in Spain and the dark reality of police rule in Spanish domestic politics at the time. Even the surreal films were still aimed at the reality of the time, showing The irony of an intellectual. As for the darkness of human nature, it is essential. The typical dialogue reveals the boredom and wretchedness of the upper class, the hypocrisy of human nature and detachment from the public. A bit of a leftist in terms of criticism. After all, it is the work of the master, the imagination is first-class, and the surreal technique of the picture is unique.

A mirror image of The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie. Representing the Spanish ruling class, they celebrated their victory over the working class with a feast, only to discover that the feast would never end. These people are imprisoned in their own bourgeois cul-de-sac. Of course, Buñuel never shows his political symbols to much fanfare, and the film is just an unusually dry comedy that is best explained by its lack of explanation.

1. [The prudent charm of the bourgeoisie] Prelude (no food to eat vs no food to leave), but less cinematic and less free. 2. Not only ridicules the middle class and Catholics, but also self-imprisonment and even cocooning is a magical barrier that is difficult for mortals to break through. 3. Surreal omens with two banquets and repeated introductions. 4. Chicken feet in handbags, nightmares of crawling with broken hands, breaking water pipes to grab water, bears and slaughtered lambs. 5. The recovery of the church and the shooting of the military and police ended. (8.5/10)
The Exterminating Angel quotes

Raúl: You led us into this trap. You made us the butt of this cruel joke.
Edmundo Nobile: I have, my friend? By inviting you to dinner? By opening my doors to you?
Raúl: Exactly. You called us one by one to come for dinner after the opera. Such a cordial invitation. "I'd be honored if you would..." et cetera. We could have been sound asleep at home or in some brothel, instead of here.
