A Razor Cutting Through An Eye In A French Silent Movie - General

pure controversy, this film was banned in about 5 countries and in some, it still remains! here's why. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U03CfNYHOTg[/media] Before anyone asks, it's called "Un Chein Andalou", listed #24 on the top 25 most dangerous films by AFI.

Wasn't it a cow's eyeball or something? [editline]09:11PM[/editline] Also The Pixies drew inspiration from this for their song "Debaser". [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cOYZ_WZHt0E[/media]

yes actually, it was a cow's eyeball they sliced through.

Isn't that from one of Salvador Dali and friend's movies?

[QUOTE=Nautsabes;18684922]Isn't that from one of Salvador Dali and friend's movies?[/QUOTE] yes it is. he's pretty much the master of surrealism and this film proves it. almost all of it is based on dreams he's had.

:ohdear:

The french...

This isn't that bad at all.

It makes my eyes water for some reason.

it's rather you're not bothered at all by it or completely. me? not so much. every girl in my class... they were screaming for about 10 full seconds after the fact, it was insane. Also, in film today the teacher showed everyone "Salad Fingers" :D

thanks, he was also in a band in the 90's called "the starkweather fix". songs include: "Supersonic Sex Ray" and "Fucked Up" :smug: no wonder he wouldn't tell us the name of his band!

"ska" band?

gave me a weird feeling on my left eye :D

[QUOTE=Death Giver;18707148]gave me a weird feeling on my left eye :D[/QUOTE] it's a cow's eye, don't worry. if you really look you can see the fur on the sides, so it's all good :smug:

I believe it's "Natural Born Killers"

I guess that's true. It was most likely dead though.

I've seen worse.

[QUOTE=articpenguin;18842928]I've seen worse.[/QUOTE] It isn't so bad. It is just the sudden shock of seeing an eye (bull's eye in case you didn't know) get cut within the first minute without knowing didly squat about what the movie is about apart from the fact that it's surrealist. In fact, I knew didly squat about what was going on in the movie even after watching; and I was supposed to be able to talk about it for 7 minutes in front of examiners... ...in french.

MY eyes get wet.

If it's fake, why so much uproar about it?

That was pretty gross.
