This is the weirdest movie with lot of humors. With the style to keep creating the environment to mislead everybody, Luis Bunuel humorously expressed his ideas and, on some level, complains to us. The filming style is somehow a stunt to me as I don't really get the whole story at all.
As the film seem has no main story or characters but all different stories are connecting via different person traveling from scene to scene. Although I don't like the story as it is not actually considered a story at all to me, I do feel the fun within the transition. The phantom of liberty, to some extend, reminds me of the movie "Babel." Similarly, "Babel" contains a few different stories connecting with a bullet. Compared to "The Phantom of liberty," "Babel" is a movie that makes more sense to me.
In this movie, the parts that I like would be the humorous manner to show audience the ideas of Luis. With the crazy ideas like the sniper scene or the sexual scene in the hotel, Luis has changed the normal manner to express surrealism. Also, the ideas such as the policemen making fun with the professors or the opposite usage of dinning and using the restroom, somehow seemingly remind me of a question, "at what time and what reason, why we are following the same rule since the day we were born?" Although I am not hoping to use the toilet together at the dinner table, this indeed should not be a wrong thing to do.
