If you didn't want any criticism then you shouldn't have posted your self-professed "shitty school project" in the first place. Sorry if I offended you.

There's a difference between being just being blatantly rude like you are and actually providing some constructive criticism you know.

a perfect comment on the absurdity of modern surrealist technique, and a fluent satire of its implied integrities. Bravo!

You know when you think... oh nobody in the world is actually like that? Unfortunately Napolian Dinamite and Maralin Manson couldnt be in this video...... but instead they birthed a son, he calls him self Peter Zega.

The main point I would make is that if you want to explain/portray surrealism, it needs to at least touch on the essence of what it was (and is) all about, that is, the external expression of the unrestricted functioning of thought. Another way of putting it would be to say that surrealism expresses the dream state, the flow of images that pass through the mind. It's more than just saying "anything weird" is surrealism. The surrealist seeks to express the pure functioning of thought.

Well it wasn't me so said I didn't care, that was my friend. And I would like to know what to improve upon in the future on the subject matter if I chose to make another surrealistic film.

You hit the nail on the head: This was a forced school project, and we just had to get it done. If you get off criticizing the shitty school projects of 15 year olds, then please... uhm.... do something. But not comment.
