get out of the magic barrier

Can't get out of the predicament, the curse? Even more magic.

Last shot: Under the sound of gunfire, the obedient lambs escape into the church.

The house is the shelter, and it is the grave of the living dead.
The role of time here disappears. Life just repeats day after day.

Obedience to the extreme will eat the obedient/goat lamb, and endured to the extreme will eat the tolerant/bear bear.
Everything has been eaten up, and excuses are hopeless.

In fact, it is not repeated, small changes occur every day.
So I recalled the scene in the past when I first entered the house.
When you are pushed to the extreme, you will no longer shirk weakness and find the yearning and courage to go out.
Religion, a symbol of safety and hope, buries the heart in captivity.

Pay attention to the piano music. Musical food has the power to awaken the tree of life.


The film is realistic and absurd, exploring the weakness and hope of human nature.

    Formally, it is inversely related to Buñuel's famous later "The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie", an unfinished dinner and a room that cannot be left, but similar in content, the 'room' becomes a closed and conservative interior. The symbol, the end of the church forms a repetition: power politics and Christian culture bear the brunt of the tide. In a closed environment, people's high-sounding disguise in society is stripped away and only the original desire for survival is left.

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.

  • Sergio Russell: I'm happy that I won't see the extermination.
