The opening is straight to the topic, there is no extra lens in the whole film, and even most of people's purposeless behaviors are captured by Bunuel, cutting out the meaning, such as the scene of Velitian and the demolishing house on the construction site when he led beggars in the garden to pray. The cross-editing implies the collapse of faith and the subsequent plot; another example is Ramona's child who threw the wreath symbolizing angels into the fire. In the end, the big name at the same...

Bunuel always seemed to wantonly destroy his own heartache and beloved things, leaving a cold, extremely materialistic wreck in the end. It was not like a mockery, but fell into mediocrity after...

Doesn't seem so surreal? From Catholics to atheists’ crushing and rebuilding, faith collapses again and again, and what is regarded as “blasphemy” by religion is quite humorous irony (the Last Supper is the highest (blind Jesus)). That arbitrarily revelry at the dining table was staggering. There are no perfect good people and no bad bad people. It is just a world that no longer suppresses desires and the true appearance of human nature, and how false it is that religions face the truth without...

I don’t agree with the mainstream that this is Bunuel’s best work. The director gave up his usual surrealism and satirized the conflict between religion and reality with a not-rich story. "All cats are gray at night" clearly implies the appearance of religious hypocrisy. The imitation of "The Last Supper" does increase the irony. Perhaps more metaphors are still to be discovered before a professional film review is found, but in general I feel that the story itself is a...

One of the top ten favorites in the minds of a director. Everything is a...

Only the most devout believers can understand the hypocrisy of religion and the sordidness of the world most deeply. A large number of close-ups and subsequent transitions, all the details and things that appear, finally become an aid to the huge explosion, and do not do useless work....

Bunuel did not aim his gun at the bourgeoisie, he was skeptical to let Tritiana fumble for the icon. But the proletariat who were helped were even more despicable. They lied, were greedy, depraved, and even used "The Last Supper" to tease God. When the ugly people tried to rape her, the shaky icon collapsed in an instant. The last three of them played cards full of sexual hints (3P), and the crown of thorns had been burned to...

After repeated blows, the hostess finally gave up and joined the Doudizhu card game=_=. The last supper is an absolute highlight. Bunuel is too good, every one of his movies feels very smart, ironic but not excessive, humorous, and slightly perverted?...

Buñuel, in black and white, explores Catholicism full of symbols and metaphors. The evil of human nature of the gangster proletarians shattered the bourgeois "savior" religious dreams. Bunuel touched on important religious issues and questioned its organization, system, and...
