We watched a surrealist movie called Un Chien Andalou that was directed by Luis Bunuel and Salvador Dali. I must say, it was really a weird film. I tried my best to comprehend the film but in the end you will be lost because it is very complex and sometimes illogical. Example, how can flies come out from a person's hand? Also, how can a man pull two grand piano with two persons (I guess they are the pianist) in it? The person must have a very strong body to do that, but apparently in the movie, he's not.
It was hard for me to understand the story because like in a dream, a certain think that was done in the movie doesn't have to have a specific reason for the act to be accomplished. The sequences of the film were not connected for me. There is only one time, ONE TIME in the film that i somehow understood it, it was when the lead actor was lying down on his bed wearing some baby clothes, and then a man came in to his room, the exact copy of that guy and he started to remove the baby clothes of that guy and he threw it outside of the window, maybe it means that he is reminding himself to grow up and mature.
In the whole movie, you will see several items that were shown multiple times in different locations and different subplots, the box, the baby clothes and the bicycle.
For me, the most "illogical" or maybe the most genius scene of the movie is when the man cut the eyeballs of the woman and then the next scene is a moon that may signify the eyeballs and the clouds passing by on it.
Overall, I tried to comprehend every single sequence of the movie but I failed. This is a surrealist movie anyway, maybe there had really no meaning behind it or there were many meanings behind it but it is so deep that I can't reach it.
