There are two kinds of movies that people can't understand. One is that the director himself does not know what to say. He may indeed have something to say, but he is not yet able to use the language of the film proficiently. The wild horse of thought gallops horizontally and horizontally, rushing so hard that he can't even stop himself. It is precisely because of this depth and richness that his works are as obscure as dreams, metaphors are like fables, and seem like absurd logic on the surface. , But in fact, this may just be another meaning, another reality. It just depends on whether you can understand, how much you can accept, and how to understand.

Luis Bunuel’s "An Andalu Dog" is the latter kind. To be more precise, this film is the product of his collaboration with Dali, who was also unfathomable. In 1928, these two later masters kneaded together based on a dream they had each had, and displayed them on the screen with an extremely advanced lens language, shocking the world. Today, almost 90 years later, it has already become an out-and-out milestone work, and it shocked me in front of the computer. I was speechless for a while, leaving only praise: this film is so awesome!

In front of the master, anyone who is as shallow as me is not qualified to comment on this film. I just want to say that many things in this film have been vaguely seen in other later works. Its symbolic, metaphorical, poetic, and even the weird (or appropriate) soundtrack reminds me of Fellini’s "Eight and a half"; its non-linear narrative language and multiple repetitions of the timeline make me I think of Quentin’s "Pulp Fiction"; in which the man raped a woman, while stroking his breasts, he thinks of the fat buttocks, falling into the inextricable obscenity and perversion, which reminds me of Tornaredo’s "Marlena" , It is about the sprouting and spring dreams of sex; and the irritability and fear shown by the ant crawling out of the palm of the hand reminds me of Park Chan-wook’s "Old Boy", and he also used ants to represent the protagonist Wu Daxiu Kun A beastly state of mind. In addition, this film also liberates two types of eternal themes, one is fear and violence, and the other is sex and love.

In fact, the most talked about of this film is its beginning: Bunuel cuts a woman’s eyes with a razor, and this woman is looking at the moon at the same time, so she sees a narrow dark cloud obliquely inserted into the moon, close-up , Her eyeballs broke, and a clear lens came out. This shot is so cruel! The pain it brings almost penetrates the screen and pierces the heart! At the same time, what a genius for him to shoot, the close-up shot was just a dead cow's eyeballs! From the beginning of the 20th century, Eisenstein invented the montage until today, how many filmmakers have used similar editing techniques to create a realistic illusion, but who can do this brilliantly? He cut off your eyes directly and impressionistically!

This epoch-making masterpiece is only 15 minutes, but it has far-reaching impact. I dare not say that every masterpiece born after this has been more or less influenced by "An Andalu Dog" and Bunuel, but at least there is no work. Which director dares to deny this completely. . But what is certain is that after looking in the footsteps of this dog, the surrealist movie quacked to the ground.
