No really. I think TPM is a surrealist film in the vein as Luis Bunel. But the problem is that in a science fiction movie, you need exposition to what is going on and how that universe works in order for the film to succeed. TPM does not explain and is governed by no logic- hence a surrealist film.
Um what, are you kidding?
Nothing, absolutely nothing, in TPM, is in any way "surreal" (well, maybe that scene where Qui-Gon meditates in the lightsaber duel) - it's a down-to-earth space adventure movie with lazy exposition and convenient plot devices.
It takes more than a lazy script to pass for "surrealist", sorry.
It still did not make any sense. Hence that is why I called it a surrealistic film. I didn't mean that it was good in any way.
