The philosophical basis of Surrealism is the intuitionism of the French subjective idealist philosopher Bergson and the "subconscious" theory of the Austrian psychopathologist Freud.
Since "An Andalu Dog" mainly shows the subconsciousness of dreams and the thirst for sex and death, and this is Freud's theory, we might as well look at this one-sidedly from Freud's psychoanalysis. piece.

Men riding bicycles in baby clothes represent the unconscious period of infancy, and the death of a man means that they have passed the infancy. Using men to represent babies is because there is still the pursuit of sex at this stage. Freud believes that the pursuit of sex is the subconsciousness of any person and any stage of life (in fact, the pursuit of personal pleasure).

The heads of cattle and sheep were placed on the piano, and two monks fell under the rope. The piano expresses the artistic quality, and the head of cattle and sheep is used for sacrificial ceremonies-expressing the sacredness (for example, in "Red Sorghum", the grandfather cleared out a round land-symbolizing the altar, Jiuer lying down, the background music of the sexual behavior of the two is ordinary The sacrificial horn), the two monks represent the bondage of morality and ethics.

The best way to interpret a movie is to first understand the background of the movie, and then understand the director/producer/screenwriter’s life experience and movie thoughts in stages, as well as watching similar movies.
