Three elements throughout the film

The first one is spring. The whole movie is super beautiful, and the tones of green grass and flowers in many scenes naturally seem to blow a spring breeze out of the screen.

The second is to make love, which seems to be the final task of the male protagonist, and it is also a principle that the female protagonist cannot accept. The storyline of many movies is whether an event can be completed in the end, and this film is also a model of this, but this event is sex, with a slightly obscene purpose, but it was shot very romantically, without a trace of obscene atmosphere.

Whether the male protagonist really loves the female protagonist, it must be love, but if he is not in love enough to accept platonic love, not 1 man in 100 men can do that. I can contribute a debate for Qipao: "If your partner insists on Plato's love, but you don't insist, do you want to compromise?" So in my opinion, these two are not a good match. Imagine if there is a young man who is also in Plato's love. , he may not love the female lead as much as the male lead, but he definitely gets along with the female lead in great harmony, and can also be extremely sweet.

The third is terror. The second scene at the beginning of the film is the explosion of the car. The newspapers and news that appear in the film often talk about terrorist attacks. These are blatant hints, and the film does end in a terrorist attack. This element not only helps the plot, but also makes some accusations to the society.

    It turned out that the two actresses in the film were not deliberately arranged, and Buñuel was just dissatisfied with the performance of one of them, and it was difficult to replace her. The result has been speculated by countless film critics as a metaphor.

    strange. After watching too many suspense films, it is easy to interpret the plot as a beautiful terrorist who uses the weakness of the rich and lustful as a cover to engage in terrorist activities... Human beings are slaves of desire. alone
