Whoa, I did not expect that movie to be so weird. "Andalusion of a Dog" is a sixteen minute, black and white film produced by Luis Buñuel and artist Salvador Dali. It emerged from the Dada movement around 1929. The movie is totally silent and in black and white so you have to concentrate more. The music was not anything to pry about. Fun Fact: This movie was also financed by Luis' mother. The actors throughout the film were naturally extremely corny and over dramatic. It was cool to see what innovative technique would be used to change the scene. 
I appreciated the constant fluidity within the film, it worked extremely well. The film was very creative and had many unusual transformations. One of the transformations I thought was cool was how the ants in the man's hand changed into armpit hair, then something that looked like a tumbleweed and finally a hand. The scenes were pretty random, especially when the man was pulling two pianos with dead horses on them. Check out the first part for yourself!
