Un Chien Andalou (short film)






Un Chien Andalou is a short film that we watched last Wednesday. I and my classmates are very focused on watching the film because from the start it was really interesting and we are aiming to understand what the movie has something to tell. But until the movie reached its end, no one understand the film.

A short film that you can't understand what it is trying to show or to convey to the audiences. It took me long before I understand some scenarios in the film. I was shocked, and felt that I don't want to watch the film anymore because of the beginning of the story, the eyes were cut. That's filty, it's a film that you don't want to continue. But as the film goes by, the story do not revolves around it. There's no  sequence in the story. Maybe because it doesn't have dialogue, a silent film that the audiences can't really understand. But I think the film is about desperate, passionate and even appeal to murder. There is also a sexual violence in a way that a man is holding the boobs of the girl which he imagine that the girl is nude.




They mostly used sexual symbolism which things represent male  phalllus and the moon there represents virginity. The cutting of the eye is the girl's dream it symbolizes evil which is looking at another person lustfully or comitting adulltery like what the man is doing to the girl, he's holding her boobs then imagining that she don't have clothes which can be classified as adultery. And the box which contains a hand, we can see that in the middle section but also in the end, it was shown. Thhe director is trying to give symbols so that the audiences will think of a deeper meaning. They show symbolism many times with the same,, but they didn't show the meaning again and again where the viewers  were really trying hard to find  the message of the film.

But even  I didn't understand the whole film, only few stories I  got but still for me it's a good film because it challenges  you to think  deeper and give your own understanding from the start up to the end because you will be more focused and will  surely enjoy this kind of film.
