The Slits

The very first scene in ‘Un Chien Andalou’ made me cringe when the man slit the woman's eyeball. Just the start of the move alone gave me the feeling that I would be watching a horror film. But as the rest of the film continued I started to feel that the movie may be categorized under a mystery or as a sci-fi. Though Un Chien Andalou wasn't one of my favorite films since it was quite hard for me to follow the story. From my understanding the movie was supposed to portray that the protagonist…

The droning of Panzer engines filled the air above the blackened battlefield of Vladivostok. The smell of cordite filled the night sky as plumes of grey smoke and dust mingled in the cold night air, drifting in between the copses of trees as if searching for a way off the battlefield. Our metal beast rolled through water and mud like a ship – clumsy, laborious and burdened, pitching and rolling in the holes and ruts of the sea of mud and snow, which was overflowing with the decaying bodies of…

He cut a slit on one end of the strap and hooked it over one of the buttons on my cowboy spurs. Then he put the spur on my boot and placed the strap across the front of the boot. He marked where the strap would fit the other button, made another slit in the strap and hooked it over the second button. I was so proud. I had a pair of custom fit cowboy spurs and custom fit…

the other side. I brushed egg wash onto the perimeter of the pastry, and folded the side of pastry with the most space over the filling. Once I thought that the sides were sealed, I cut the sausage filled role of pastry into equal segments and cut slits into the top to help prevent them being soggy, and I brushed the tops with egg wash, to give them a golden brown colour. I repeated this method for the cheese savoury rolls.…

The renal artery supplies blood to the kidney. The human kidneys receive approximately 25% of the blood pumped. Blood enters the capillaries of the nephron through the afferent arteriole. It then flows through the glomerulus and into the efferent arteriole. The varying sizes of these arterioles help to create the hydrostatic pressure and to maintain consistency of glomerular capillary pressure and renal blood flow within the glomerulus Before returning to the renal vein, blood from the…

“Nothing, in this film, symbolizes anything” (Buñuel). Both Dali and Buñuel strived to have no image or idea in the film, Un Chien Andalou, have any logical or rational explanation. However, when you break up what Buñuel says you can argue that “nothing” stands for all the images and ideas in the film that to one represent nothing logical or rational, and these images can “symbolize anything” to the individual. When making this film, Buñuel’s intentions were to astound and offend the bourgeois…
