L'Age D'Or (1930)

[@adorno_gang37]

there were at least 4 or 5 points where i laughed out loud, including the cow in the bed, the "Aspects pittoresques et divers de la grande ville" after showing a variety of bizzarre and destructive footage, the unprovoked kicking of the blind dude, and the "quelques heures après" after what was basically a nature documentary

[@manp1039]

i heard that the Eurythmics put a cow in their music video for Sweet Dreams because liked the cow in this film. (see: Eurythmics, Annie Lennox, Dave Stewart - Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This)... kzbin.info/www/bejne/p5awd6ShmLWMmck )

[@eugenewight2658]

the bitter beauty of surrealism is that there is no hidden meaning - everything is what is come across as

[@hendrickcavvendish6634]

I would argue that the scene in which bourgeois socialites attend a party with the beleaguered working class around them whom they are completely oblivious towards may have had some subtext about class-inequality. I would also argue that surrealism doesn't at all preclude hidden meaning, nor metaphor, symbolism or innuendo.

[@sisokun6614]

currently researching this for my essay and the aim that surrealists chased was to show the crooked patterns of the system we live in and giving the audience a way be uncomfortable with it and to reflect. So in this film, we see soldiers at work, we see clergyman and other christian symbols in unfitting places, we see lovers being irrational or the irrationality of the father shooting his son or the people coming to gawk at that scene because of their love for extreme events. Because of how uncomfortably it's all set up (surreal), you as viewer are kinda forced into a perspektive where you're questioning how it all works. So in this, you are to question the clergy, the army, morals around sexuality, and whatever else you can make out!

[@FC3692230]

Do you look for subtext in blockbusters? Do you look for faces in abstract works? Do you look for depth in Cubism? Do you look for detail in Impressionism? Do you look for an explanation to absurd events in Magic Realism? This is what it is. You get it or you don't and you move on to ther things. Surrealism is about the experience, not the drama or the meaning in itself.

Dada was basically shitposting as well. The artists hated European society for causing WWI, the "war to end all wars" (if only they knew what was to come...).

Form of art that doesn't make sense to anyone but the author, who always hides the true meaning in the film/painting/novel or anything. Its up to him whether he wants to reveal it or just let people wonder what does this mean, if it even means anything.

pedro all dali film is shit. He worked only to shock with the grotesque. The best example, that I know of, of surrealism in film is "One Way Pendulum". Dali was except!lent with a brush and pencil but he was an absolute failure with any and all content. If you were considering investing in anything Dali I suggest you feed your money to a goat.

+Eric Trommater Buñuel and Dalí didn't exactly work together on this project as you say in the description of the video, even though they had planned to do so. Buñuel went to write the script with Dalí in Figueras after getting the funds and unlike during the writing process for "Un Chien Andalou", they rejected one anothers ideas constantly, Buñuel even said that Dalí had changed very much after meeting Gala witch explained their block. In the end Buñuel decided to write it by himself. However Dalí did send Buñuel a letter with some new ideas, Buñuel used one of them.
