Hey, good to see you around these parts again! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Well, yeah, but the movie isn't set in 1939 -- it's set in 1944. We're seeing the post-war mopping-up, and it ends in a victory (however partial and temporary) for the forces of good. So in that sense, it's Hemingway played backwards.
And that's right, eyeball monster is Un Chien Andalou. But I never see scenes of milking cows and then drinking fresh milk without thinking of Los Olvidados, too. That's probably just me, though.
I went and looked up some of the reviews just now, and you're right -- something about the movie inspired unusual stupidity in reviewers who are not generally so dopey. Huh.
