You should see the documentary now.  My apologies due to my commentary looking a little disjointed.

The trial revealed how Dali delved further into Surrealism while his fellow Surrealists tried to act serious.  Or did Dali want to show how he had just as much of a legitimate standing in the group by playing this character?

On the other hand, Dali reminds me of Groucho Marx when elaborating on his ‘apolitical’ views. 

 This documentary’s choice of country music while introducing St. Petersburg, Florida bowled me over.  I think they wanted to show what a surreal choice that the people picked for the official Dali Museum.  However, the way Dali’s patrons talk, it put the artist in this place as the gateway for people interested in avant-garde art.
