The Obscure Purpose of Desire.

I want to see this film.

There are two reasons.

One is that the director of the film attracted me. I have seen one of his famous surrealistic films "An Andalusian Dog" before.

The second is the title of this film.

Watch I didn't know what this film was about before. I didn't like doing too much homework before watching it, watching too many introductions or comments.

When I watched this film, I always felt that it had something to do with "Bitter Moon". Similarities. There is no surrealism of "An Andalusian Dog", but there is no lack of the director's characteristics.

We always spend most of our time researching why the director did this, why did it, what was it to express, etc. ...

Perhaps this is a person's dream.

There are some meaningless things, and too much research is meaningless.


[Desire] is

nothing more than possessiveness and control.

Men want to possess and control women.

Women desperately need security Feeling.

If the man is in complete control, the woman's sense of security cannot be guaranteed.

So these capricious little tricks happen.

Leaving close, leaving close... It took a long time

.

[Obvious]

Taboo things can always be Attractive.

When I watched it, I noticed that there were four sacks in the film...

The first time was a stranger carrying a sack and skipped the camera; the second time was the actor carrying it; the third time was the male The protagonist's attendant took the sack and asked him if he wanted to bring it; the fourth time appeared at the end, in a shop window, a woman took out pieces of clothes from the sack, and finally put a piece of blood on the clothes. Up sewing.

Did the hero put all the clothes the heroine wears into the bag? What about the bag that the stranger was carrying?

In the end, the woman in the window is patching the dress that looks like the heroine was wearing when they were arguing, which means that their relationship is constantly broken and repaired.. Such a capricious process??

Maybe something like It's an ordinary passerby A passerby B. It's just that the director is just bored and adds a sack bag. And the film is also the past of the hero in the narrative. Maybe it's like a person's dream.

Just add some tidbits.

[Purpose]

The purpose is to Planned desire.

    Desire is like the "pressure" often mentioned by the old man, which makes people unable to stop. Should we let desire continue to exist or destroy it with compromise?

    Desires and fantasies run through Buñuel's films, especially the "sexual taste" of the middle class and the hypocrisy of religious people. Another translation of the title of the film, "The Obscure Purpose of Desire", is more in line with Bunuel's excavation of desire, that middle-class men's desire for women is sexual and possessive ("Two Women Playing One Person" in front of men is a simplistic view of women. "Sex" purpose), and the lower-class women's desire to refuse and welcome in front of men, repeatedly, is to play with men's desires, but also the wanton indulgence of self-desire, the repeated transformation of the two female roles, also contains the female ego fulfillment of desires (wealth, love, control). In short, men and women are like couples who play on the scene. Desire kicked around like a ball, and finally burst.
