In the painting, Sunrise (Claude Monet, 1872), it shows another landscape of …
Another insect that is present in the painting is a fly, which sits on the watch that is next to the orange watch. It’s this style of keenly written, yet loving, escapism Semple Jr. excelled at. There’d been rock scores but nothing quite like this. It’s a committed part even when she has to shout out “Not the bore-worms!”); Max von Sydow is maybe having TOO much fun as Emperor Ming, Peter Wyngarde even MORE so as Kyltus, although my favourite is Topol as Dr Hans Zarkov (I adore the quick look he gives Klytus, worried that they have rumbled that the brainwashing hasn’t worked when he gives his name as Hans, not Agent, Zarkov).
Similar versions of this self-portrait appear in other paintings by Dalí like The Great Masturbator (1929). Yet my desire for revisiting ‘Flash Gordon’ was as part of my own mini Mike Hodges retrospective and this film was the touchstone for doing so as I’d been restlessly baffled as to how the same guy who directed this also directed the nihilistic and brutal ‘Get Carter’. Thames and Hudson, 1982. [3] This interpretation suggests that Dalí was incorporating an understanding of the world introduced by Albert Einstein's theory of special relativity. It is widely recognized and frequently referenced in popular culture, and sometimes referred to by more descriptive (though incorrect) titles, such as "Melting Clocks", "The Soft Watches" or "The Melting Watches". [11], Dalí returned to the theme of this painting with the variation The Disintegration of the Persistence of Memory (1954), showing his earlier famous work systematically fragmenting into smaller component elements, and a series of rectangular blocks which reveal further imagery through the gaps between them, implying something beneath the surface of the original work; this work is now in the Salvador Dalí Museum in St. Petersburg, Florida, while the original Persistence of Memory remains at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City.
It is possible to recognize a human figure in the middle of the composition, in the strange "monster" (with much texture near its face, and much contrast and tone in the picture) that Dalí used in several contemporary pieces to represent himself – the abstract form becoming something of a self-portrait, reappearing frequently in his work. The melted clock represents how memories can persist for a long time, but as more time passes, memories will become deformed and different from the original memory. Dalí often used ants in his paintings as a symbol of decay.
My dad and I were blasted back in our seats by the sheer force of the multi-coloured visuals as Brian May’s electric guitar kicked us in the chest with the force of a sonic boom. Bradley Cooper Doesn’t Want to Be Your Hero. The strange and foreboding shadow in the foreground of this painting is a reference to Mount Pani. Fellini dropped out but his regular costume and production designer, multiple Oscar winner Danilo Donati, remained. As the title suggests, the painting shows the disintegration of the world depicted in the original painting, reflecting a world changed by the nuclear age.
As Dawn Adès wrote, "The soft watches are an unconscious symbol of the relativity of space and time, a Surrealist meditation on the collapse of our notions of a fixed cosmic order".
For other uses, see. Dalí paints his fantastical vision in a meticulous and realistic manner: he effortlessly integrates the real and the imaginary in order “to systemize confusion and thus to help discredit completely the world of reality”. When asked about the limp watches, the artist compared their softness to overripe cheese saying that they show “the camembert of time”.
The fly appears to be casting a human shadow as the sun hits it. Watching it in the context of Mike Hodges other films has also been illuminating as the guy’s obviously a director with skill, a highly tuned cinematic eye and a very strong, sly sense of humour and all these come together in ‘Flash Gordon’ perfectly.

Many of Dalí's paintings were inspired by the landscapes of his life in Catalonia.
One of the pocket watches is swarmed with ants and the other clock has a fly on it, as you can see time is the theme in this artwork. This wouldn’t count for much if the ‘Flash’s story didn’t hook us but it does.
The melting watch, one of Dalí’s most powerful and potent motifs, continued to play an important role in his art.
Some scholars have also drawn a parallel between the self-portrait and a section of Hieronymus Bosch's The Garden of Earthly Delights (1510-1515) – on the right side of the left panel Bosch depicts rocks, bushes, and small animals that resemble Dalí’s profile with the prominent nose and long eyelashes. It’s a movie that knows what it is and what it is is escapist fun.
It has been in the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York City since 1934.
Enhancing all this, as if all this wasn’t enough, is a soundtrack by Queen and Howard Blake that’s so over-the-top, so high in energy it’s over powering.
We all know the story — Flash and Dale take a trip with Dr Hans Zarkov in his spaceship to the planet Mongo where Flash becomes the catalyst for bringing the warring kingdoms of Mongo together and inspiring them to stand up to and defeat the tyrannical Emperor Ming the Merciless. It is possible to recognize a human figure in the middle of the composition, in the strange "monster" (with a lot of texture near its face, and lots of contrast and tone in the picture) that Dalí used in several contemporary pieces to represent himself – the abstract form becoming something of a self-portrait, reappearing frequently in his work.
Has Brian May’s guitar ever sounded better, so phenomenally punchy, then during the attack of the Hawkmen on war rocket Ajax? The idea of rot and decay is most evident in the gold watch on the left, which is swarmed by ants.
