烟火

肯尼斯•安格（Kenneth Anger）的《烟火》（Fireworks，1947），同样精心设计出一个呼应《诗人之血》的梦境结构。描述一名年轻人被一个水手引诱，然后遭到一群水手殴伤，当他醒来时他的爱人伴随在他身旁，同时火焰正将梦境的照片烧毁殆尽。A wordless film, save for a voice-over introducing us to the imagery of dreams. A shirtless young man dreams of awakening to finds photographs of a muscular sailor carrying him in his arms. He goes to a bar where the sailor from his dream displays his muscular upper torso. A gang of sailors, swinging chains, enters menacingly. He watches, smoking. They surround him and an assault begins. Surreal touches accent the dream-like qualities. A phallic firework, a flaming Christmas tree, and the burning photographs provide climax and closure as the young man, back in bed, is beside the sailor.
