Un Chien Andalou


Salvador Dali was a very weird guy from what I can understand. Even though I've only watched "Un Chien Andalou" once, it seemed very obvious that this man could care less what other people thought of his art. The film had a variety of different scenes in which many things were going on, including the slicing of a woman's eye, the dragging of pianos with priest and donkeys, crossdressing men, or even the character whose hand had a hole filled with ants. I think that the overall project was successful in its attempt to turn the bourgeois society of Paris at the time upside-down. I personally believe that it was Dali's goal to release this film and intentionally confuse the public, making it as illogical, irrational, and mysterious as possible.
