    Un Chien..
    1:15 mark. The gentle symphony and playful minds of young love. Presented in the key of b flat on the keyboards. Visuals provided by yet another couple of two leggers operating the motions of a four legger.
    My interpretation of that scene is that the dead 4 legger draped over the piano that is holding back the male is a depiction of his animal instincts being held in check by a 4 legger draped over one of the few things considered by some to be as pleasing to the senses as grand as love, the Grand Piano. Thanks Dali.....allow me this, Mr Wolf. I would love to add my vision to this.. ..A Surreallistic piece of music wtitten and performed by my very own Amadeus alter ego. ~
    At this time Amadeus sits in front of his own piano and we begin to hear what dali saw in "the scream"..
    At conclusion the fantasy type scene pulls away to capture the gentle applause of a stunned audience of lifes art forms in perfect fusion. The audience of only me is brought to tears as I realize the loneliness of mental illness as depicted in " the scream" can only be matched by the lonelines love can provide..

    Edvard Munch.

    I'm not really a fan of the surrealists myself. Particularly Dali. He comes off as a bit of a phoney who tried too hard to be weird for weirds sake.

    As for the surrealist movement? A form of expression that vas only a few years old vhen Dali applied it to film. A rebellion against restraints fears that vere truth to some. Irrational to others. It vas also a time of great scandel. The beginnings of the vat vould be the bedpost notchings heard around z world. Yes. The mating calls of young Vladmir Trump and Annika
    V Clinton would create " ooo yuck" " very bad stuff v man" "v gagina is v awvul "

    Remember when many homes had encyclopedias because they sold them door to door? Aaah... the thirst for knowledge.

    Ha. That was me in college. We sold World Book and we pressured young families into buying. Everything was scripted, right down to the pause when we asked for a glass of water. I wasn't a great salesperson, but I learned a lot about branding and marketing. We even had a line of kids books we'd throw in to sweeten the pot.

    Ah...good times.

    I like old books, too. I have a complete early set of Washington Irving's work -- and my prize -- a 1865 Swedish Bible. Too bad I can't read Swedish.
