Un Chien Andalou

Un Chien Andalou was a unique video and my reaction consisted of shock mixed with interest. It was an interesting way to put images and scenes together to create something that really made the viewers think about what they were seeing. There were many points of symbolism and though they were bizarre, they were captivating. I thought the ants in the hand was particularly fascinating. It represented the itch or desire to kill or hinted that the person had sexual desires. It could be interpreted in many different ways. Although I would never watch this film on my own, I am glad it was shown to us because I did find it very interesting and different than something I would have picked to watch for myself.
