What eyeballs are made of

Posted by / March 5, 2018

Un Chien Andalou is a surrealist film from 1929. If you’ve ever seen the film, you probably remember one thing about it: the eyeball-slicing scene. If you haven’t seen the movie, then yes, you read that right. In the film, someone slices open an eyeball (not a human eye, of course) with a razor blade. It’s horribly visceral and hard to watch, but it definitely sticks with you. Part of the reason that it’s so memorable is that they use an animal’s eye, and so it really looks like they’ve sliced a human eye open because goo comes out. As this video teaches you, “goo” one of the best words to describe what’s in the human eye.
