there be no doubt that buñuel be a pro in intriguing and subjective thought embed in the apparently senseless story . only a person that be thoughtful enough can do such thing with such grace and yet be so aggressive about it . moral and expectation and the so called right determine by society be well approach in an unconventional way . plus and he be also brilliant in criticize some past tragic event in a humorous yet effective way . the movie happen in piece of story that be link through some irrelevant fact that give it the flow to escalate with one another . how would you feel if monk smoke and plaid card . how would you feel if you saw a relationship between a teenager and an old woman . the whole aspect of play with expectation be somewhat disturbing because everything we see in the movie could happen . those event would not affect anyone life negatively and and yet and it would not have be our first thought . that only happen because we be judge son of the earth and we love to point finger and name right and wrong . on the other hand and you can only take buñuel criticism seriously to a certain level and which be exactly why i think the movie be so geniously put together . the fact that every tableau ( the little story in the movie ) give u just a hint of what go on and for then move to a new story explain that the director do not mean to agree people nor to judge subject be approach and necessarily . he do though and play with our expectation on what would be the natural course of thought in our head and he flip them over . look at thing from different point of view can never be harmful but it can open your eye and brighten up some shade on our general concept . unless your thought can not go a far and then you will just think it be a waste of time maybe . the beauty of it be to watch it with no judgment whatsoever . you may think of stuff you never think before and or you might laugh about some past memory the movie have bring up in your mind . ultimately phantom of liberty really relate to the so called freedom we have . we be supposedly able to think about whatever we want and say whatever we want and act however way we want ( as long a it do not interfere with the others and obviously ) . but how do we really feel when we face that real freedom in real life shape around the society moral and value . the concept of freedom just fade away behind those curtain even though they be brag about all the time .
