The very last shot - any ideas what it means?

(And I agree, by the way)

A squid eating dough in a polyethylene bag is fast and bulbous. Got me?

The final shot of the lovers buried in sand is usually interpreted as the stagnation of the libido that occurs in marriage.

This movie doesn't have any symbolism; it is what it is. It's based on the dreams of Bunuel and Dali, created to demonstrate how our minds create meaning for things that have none.

You've got to be kidding. The entire thing is absurd and ridiculous but you're picking out one thing you don't understand? Do you understand the rest of it? That's what I find weird.

According to Dali the all movie as a narration have no meaning (in purpose, kind of a protest against movies of "that time" to be to much obvious (what about today). But each scene, each shot... There is a strong symbolism and meaning behind. Shot by shot. But not released. No narration. Not an easy concept to understand or/and accept. Especially in movie making.

I interpret the final shot as an indication that the girl 'chose' the new lover (the piano-dragging guy got ditched), and they tied the knot, sinking their future into the bourgeois, stagnant quicksand of respectable married life. There's no more horrible fate than slowly being petrified into a state of polite social boredom and apathy.
