The creation of surrealism

Core symbols: hand/armpit/female/male/hate/love. Combining these symbols organically and giving them a certain logical display is not only the meaning of film history, but also has a certain reference meaning for the viewer's thinking. The avant-garde cinema has always followed the words of Hamlet: there are a thousand spectators, and there are a thousand Hamlet. I have always held a view that the author himself may have some intention to express, or no intention to express, and finally it is manifested in the form of influence. As a viewer, there is no need to over-explore the content that the author wants to express. Feeling is what you get, and everyone must have a different understanding based on their different situations. The emergence of avant-garde films is definitely the advancement of film history, and it is also developing along the trend of art history. It shows that film, as the closest and most authentic art, is limited to expressing reality. It also laid the foundation for future feature films to integrate realism and surrealism.

    This film has been studied too much, not to mention anything else, just the influence of this film on later generations shows the status of this film. The ant-covered ear of David Lynch's blue velvet and the bloody horse's head on the bed of Coppola's godfather should all come from this film. The mixture of Bunuel and Dali's dreams, since it is a dream that can be understood or not, so why not? At the beginning of the film, the scene of Bunuel sharpening a razor is unforgettable.
