Q Find a film from the last 30 years that was inspired or influenced by Surrealism. Support your choice with specific examples from the film and explain how it was influenced by Surrealism. Please include a clip if possible.
Surrealism was an artistic and literary movement. It meant to liberate thought, language, and human experience from the limiting boundaries of rationalism. The best movie related to surrealism that I have watched is Tetsuo: The Iron Man that came out in 1989 which is a Japanese movie by Shinya Tsukamoto. There are many scenes that are influenced by surrealism that is the example of liberation of human experience from the boundaries of rationalism. This is a story about a salary man who killed a man in an accident and while he was dumping his body, the dead man took his revenge by gradually metamorphosing salaryman’s body into a walking pile of scrap metal. This idea itself is influenced by surrealism and is beyond rational thinking.
