Surrealism at the toilet queue
There's a series of Luis Bunuels films in Helsinki now. Bunuel is ingsoc's ideological hero, but this is the first time that he got a change to see his films.
It all started promising: Ingsoc met Luis Bunuels son Jose Luis Bunuel at the film theaters toilet queue. Noticing that maestro is a busy man ingsoc let him go first. Bunuel was pretty much overweighed, being hard for him to even walk up a few stairs to the toilet, but he was pretty quick on doing his business. It honestly took only 5 seconds and he walked out the toilet door!
The absurdity of the situation really struck ingsoc: he had actually met a man who has come out of the great surrealists balls!
The film wasn't bad either. There was blasphemy, mockery of innocence, mockery of good will and ideology, mockery of the poor, mockery of martyrdom... Mockery of everything that ingsocs civil personality respects and loves. By the word: Perfect film. Watch Viridiana!
