heahaha ahha [A Summary of what happens]
Un Chien Andalou is an experimental film created by Salvador Dali and Luis Brunuel in the 1920s. The film has no plot in the conventional sense of the word, and although it is clear in some "scenes" that there are certain sequences that somewhat progress chronologically, but on the whole it is disjointed and nonsensical.
A reccurring element that signifies any kind of chronological sequence at all, are the title cards reading "Once Upon A Time", "8 Years Later", "Around 3 in the Morning" and "16 years ago", in that order.
Although at first it starts off logically and changes to a flashback, meaning that there is still an established idea of the "present".
HeHeHejeHHE [My Feelings]
It makes no sense to me, but I still feel feelings because that's how a film is supposed to work - to evoke emotions from people through the medium of film. I felt a mixture of disgust at certain "shock horror" shots and scenes, right off the bat in the beginning. The images such as the woman getting her eyeball sliced, the constant repeating of the man's hand with the ants/spiders/insects crawling out of a hole in the center, even what's not considered "shock horror" but simply ridiculous and strange, after acquiring that kind of mindset towards the film as a whole, became eerie and weird. The placement of these things in the film presented as "normal" only went to further skew what I was trying to perceive as "normal" in that universe (similar to how fantasy films have their established worlds as canon and "normal"). It was simply ridiculous and hard to comprehend.
