Dreams designed by Dalí in Spellbound (1945)

[harvey1954]

The Eyes have it !!!!

[ChiChiClifton]

Most of this isn't the dream sequence from Spellbound at all, it's just the opening sequence of Le chien andalou. Slightly misleading :)

[SamPthree]

@ChiChiClifton thank you. Was just about to say that. Glad to see that someone knows some old films :)

[MultiMifune]

I have seen le chien a few times. Alice in Wonderland nailed it in her post.

David Lynch must have had it etched into his brain.

[pH4nTomPL4n3T]

Ironically, Hitchcock himself had very little to do with the actual shooting of the Spellbound dream sequence. The gifted visualist and sometimes director, William Cameron Menzies, was hired on after numerous setbacks to help interpret Dali's concepts into feasible sets, and direct the sequence as well. Several years later, Menzies would return to the subconscious, only this time with Martians (Invaders from Mars, 1953). The results were equally impressive, proving his Dali foray was no fluke.

@KievanTiger Before this, Dali and Buñuel made the film "Le chien andalou"  were the eye cutting scene is more dramatic. here is the genius of Dali is recreating that scene with art work, unforgettable!!!!

[whatusee06]

Wow this is so realistic Wouldn't suprise this was in part base on a real dream

[pablodistefano]

2.30 wow

[Nudepanda]

@Bryan9796 Lol, I saw this clip in Film class today and thought the same thing

[Bryan9796]

AHHHHHH

SLENDERMAN IS THE PROPRIETOR

[AlicelnWonderIand]

Un Chien Andalou

[FijneWIET]

Had it been in colour, it could easily be a David Lynch (Twin Peaks) scene

[HarleyDutch]

great movie

[sg2790]

i love un chien andolou 

[FEAJathebass1]

@sg2790 I think its weird, and thats why its interesting... Its not the sort of film you'd say, watch at you first date, or with your kids, or just for fun...

[facefantome]

the images are so old it makes it even spookier

[jhultquist000]

WHAT THE FUCK WAS WITH THE EYE

[jslasher1]

@jhultquist000 Obviously the English language presents a bit of a challenge for you.

[kalashnikov96]

Does anyone get in dreams that as well as seeing what is happening, because your mind is creating it all you know the reasoning and what everythings intentions are but if you tried to explain it you couldn't?

[dsdumanat123]

for anyone doing art... whats with dali and ants? ive seen it alot in his painting

[Adler36]

@dsdumanat123 It's symbolism, read his Wikipedia article. Everyone can interpret everthing in it. That is how art works! ;-)

[IsaacH1273]

what is it with dali and cutting eyes open. dude must've had some kind of fetish for eyes-slitting or something.

[Mexica1345]

i wonder how inception would have been if dali was the architect

[aaronl22]

Fubar

[santillanstudio]

The secuence is absolutely amazing and wonderful! Dali was a genius, and his work will live forever. It´s very sad that he did not participate in a large number of films, because it would be fascinating to see more scenes like this, "Le Chien Andolou", "L'age d'or" and the animated short film "Destino".

Some years ago, I read in a magazine that someone was planning to film a screenplay entitled "Babaobaou" written by Dalí in the 40´s or 50´s, I think. Has anyone seen that film?

[xeractus]

2:41 onwards is un Chien Andalou, it was made in 1929, and wasn't in Spellbound

[yerk3]

Got me a movie

Oh-ho-ho-ho

Slicing up eyeballs

Ah-ha-ha-ho

[awsomeoggy]

man, i didn't want to see un chiuen andalou. i've seen a picture of that scene and it just creeps me out.

[Daciliiiiiii]

he is The Emperor of Time!

Je suis folie du Dali!

[jslasher1]

Dali's grand execution; Miklos Rozsa's superlative music.

[stardude3396]

Wow this is actualy a proof that the creators of "Happy Tree Friends", which I'm sure you know, are film experts !

In the Episode "Eyes Cold Lemonade", it maches up with 3:16 !!

[anamaria6329]

Lo extraordinario es la intervención de Salvador Dalí en los sueños.

[skateboard49dude]

SICK!!!

[suckeefcukee]

what's with the fragment form "Un chien andalou", was it used in "Spellbound"?

[devilpoet]

I'm pretty sure there's a line in "Debaser" by the Pixies that references this: "Got me a movie/I want you to know/Slicing up eyeballs/I want you to know"....

[cholocharile]

rofl eggbeater

[mendezfilms]

the las 2 scenes are from Dalí and Buñuel, Un chien andalou

[LSandbox]

Dali and Hitchcock combining forces? Now that's ART~

[backwoodsgps]

heavenly, just Heavenly!!!!!

[ricchardo]

I couldn't believe it when he cuts open the womans eye with the cut throat razor. That's easily as shocking,sick or extreme as ANYTHING i've seen in a horror film including physcho.

[DainityDaim]

@ricchardo it was actually a cows eye

[JohnFPoirier]

There is also an excerpt from Le Chien Andalou

[QShaque]

Great Stuff ;)

[omersengul]

Salvador Dali worked with Hitchcock on this dream sequence, which both the artist and the director hated.

[badturkali]

hitchcock has a picture, signature and a song 4 himself

[Propheticangeldust]

Actually its psychoanalytic images that Dali was so inspired by that he gave vivid contrast and bold images in these dreams. Its quite amazing and the Freudian images really strike something nostalgic in ya. Also it was the first time anyone in film had not blurred a dream and made it sharp.

[saintlysinner666]

What do you mean, 'and not made it sharp'? Can you give us an example?

[screwmath]

@saintlysinner666 there are many examples, look at man rays - the starfish.

[pinkbubblebath]

Rover, your comment rocks. No, for real.

[SteveSparx]

excellent

[cutypetuty]

And they say time moves forward...

[pucksterz12]

In this movie scene it looks like he was trapped in one of Salvadore Dali's paintings - his paintings are preety wild.

[luvdomus]

I understand the dream sequence was about 20 min. total as shot, but was edited down for the movie. Would love to see the whole 20 min.

[mittinscat1]

did Dali do the Nightmare scene from Vertigo Too?

[venuecam]

No, as it didn't call for an analytical dream sequence. Hitchcock collaborated with Saul Bass for Vertigo.

[bjornforpresident]

one of my favorite hitchcock films and my favorite actress!

[HITCHCOCKfilmsATYT]

i love this movie all Hitchcock movies!

[karinerick]

Still fantastic!....

[CarlosWelu]

Creepy good!

[rudi2shooz]

I have always loved Hitchcock and Dali. But, hadn't actually seen this film/dream sequence up until a few years ago. Its sublime. Also, after you see the film, know the ending, and the meaning behind each little hint in the dream, re-seeing it is kind of mind-blowing.

[RoverDeDog96]

I saw the dreaming scenes about 7 hours ago at Salvador Dali liquid desire exhibition in Victoria and I have been looking for those scenes. They are very weird. Why has the guy who accused the man of cheating wearing a bag on his head. Although, in the exhibitions one, the music was made a lot more dramatic, but very much like 2:39's music... It was awesome and I couldn't stop looking at it. Dali is very abstract, but isn't always. He is a good artist though, which is all that matters I guess...

[Farksisten]

I think the man with the covered face might be a reference to René Magritte, another surrealist painter, who used to paint people with covered faces regularly. If I remember correctly, it's a symbol for death.

[actron]

Yeah, it reminds me of his painting "The Lovers", which was 1928. Spellbound came out in 1945 so there is a possible influence.

[cloudshadowsanddream]

Ciao ! The Lovers it's made by Renè Magritte!

[actron]

Yes indeed.

[RoverDeDog96]

Now this would have to be the most unusual scene I have seen. But it's just so awesome and abstract. Well maybe not abstract. (Shakes head laughing)

[psycopathicpenguin]

wow

[jasonb7744]

hitchcock was a geniuos, way ahead of his time, i dont know much about movies, but noone talks about him like they do speiberg or others that live today. But it is a fact he created so many different techniques to get the audiance involved in the movie, Some of those are still used today even after our computer technology.

[cyanideorchampagne]

I love how Peck kind of laughs and swallows hard when the doctor says, "This is plain, ordinary, wishful dreaming," when he's talking about the half-dressed woman who looks like Constance. Peck was fantastic in this.

[starmario36]

I was always thought dali would be the best to design the dream sequnces since at that time he was popular as a Surrealist looks like Alfred Hitchcock the director of spellbound managed to pick the appropriate surreal artist to make those dreams! =)

[ruizdechavez]

Before this movie, Dali worked with Buñuel in Le Chien Andolou and L'age d'or. Both films deal with dreams. Alfred Hitchcock knew those works and choose the best available artist.

[BluelightSpike]

Cutting the woman's eye in "An Chien Andalou" was pretty badass.

Fucking Epic guy tht was Dalí...

[toneee360]

Un Chien Andalou is actually the best Surrealist film ever made. He just picked somebody who he admired. Dali did not participate in L´age d´or, it was made only by Buñuel.

[toneee360]

Un Chien Andalou is actually the best Surrealist film ever made. He just picked somebody who he admired. Dali did not participate in L´age d´or, it was made only by Buñuel. The second part is an actual footage from Un chien andalou.

[2rainydays]

golden =)

[romanholiday1988]

possibly one of the finest constructed sequences in the history of hollywood. two different kinds of artists (hitchcock and dali) combining their infinite talent for an underrated classic.

[ruizdechavez]

You are very welcome!!

[MrsXantipa]
