Un Chien Andalou: Unit 4

            Un Chien Andalou was a trippy, and movie. I loved every moment of it. These guys essentially took all of the weirdest things in the world and put them on a screen. I am the kind of person who rarely gets scared during movies, and I actually love scary movies because of that. My favorite movies of time are the Saw series, and this movie was a look into what started it all. This movie takes some of the worst things that could happen in the world and puts in order, with absolutely no means behind the madness. For example, at the time the movie was made there was no great editing technology. However, they eye being cut by a blade at the beginning of the movie is surprisingly realistic. There also a collection of attempted rape, reincarnation, severed body parts, disgusting bugs, deaths, animal brutality, discipline, break ups, and falling in love. Also, the time lapse of the movie makes absolutely no sense. Yet, they ultimately did do what they set out to do. As humans our dreams are often that bizarre. We’ll be having one dream, then wake up to use the bathroom, and go back to sleep and it’s a completely different dreams. Bugs can be huge, goofy, or talk in dreams. While people can die in one dream, and wake up in another dream. Dreams are unpredictable, things change randomly and sometimes turn into the scariest parts of our lives. By creating this movie Buñuel opened the imagination of many horror movie producers, and directors.
