waking up

Luis Buñuel's insight into the middle class is penetrating, and when a masochistic lady decides to go to a brothel to sell herself to get her peace of mind, it is destined to trigger a series of consequences. The film ends with a surreal lingering voice, as the paralyzed husband miraculously rises from his chair and accepts his wife again. At the same time, the bell of the carriage at the beginning of the chapter is approaching, and the sound of the bell leads the heroine and the audience into another twisted dream. The whole film is easy to understand, and the countless dreams interspersed from time to time are actually the heroine's subconscious self-revenge delusions. It is worth mentioning that the first dream was actually a worker molesting the young heroine. It must be the childhood experience of the heroine? Since then, she was destined to the shadow that she could not get out of her whole life?
