A "Pure" Cinema?

In Munchhausen, the "weirdness" is ordered. Munchhausen's "surreal" follows in the footsteps of the Brothers' Grimm's "surreal," not in Andre Breton's surreal. Clothes can bark but stream but the freedom of one's stream of consciousness cannot be accessed. A truly threatening "weirdness" would not be governed by rules, or if it were, the rules would be out of the control of the Nazi government. For instance, Andre Breton gives instructions on how to automatic write, but Goebbels could not control those images and ideas that would flow from the automatically-writing pen. The structure of automatic writing strictly forbids any sort of that sort of interference, whereas a movie--let alone a movie script--could be cut and edited. Rules are applied both to the content and the form and Goebbles could have his word in both. A pun like, "The times are broken," is acceptable while an image like Dalí's melting watches or flying time would be unacceptable. Puns go way back in German--and Greek--cultural history. Images of flying watches do not. Not only is the content of surrealism ungovernable, but it is not a part the imagined "glorious Aryan history." It is new.
