Am ajuns acasa uitand de incident si peste vreo saptamana am cautat accidental ceva pe net despre surrealism, doar ca sa ajung Wikipedia si sa descopar imaginea asta ca apartinand lui Rene Magritte. Explicatia era una logica de altfel: aceasta nu este o pipa, este imaginea unei pipe. Eram si eu fericita ca in sfarsit il intelesesem pe cel care desenase si ii explic cuiva pe net care mi-a distrus momentul spunandu-mi ca el stia...anyway...Continuand surfingul am gasit o imagine din Un chien andalou filmul facut de Bunuel si Dali care m-a facut sa caut filmul.
Deci..filmuletul e ciudat dar cred ca merita vazut de cei care sunt interesati de cinematografie in general pentru a analiza inceputurile unui alt gen de creatii si, de catre cei care n-au ce face 15 minute si vor sa ramana cu o spranceana ridicata la final. Daca nu ati inteles nimic din postul asta pana acum, incercati sa vedeti filmul.....
