Mullholand Drive was about two hot lesbians kissing. Dune was about Kyle MacLachlin trying to figure out a mystery through dreams. Twin Peaks was about Kyle MacLachlin becoming an oppressive tyrant with his newfound powers while consuming a beloved, addictive substance. What’s so hard to get about that?
Lost highway is about Trent Reznor producing an amazing soundtrack.
Inland empire is about 3 hours long
Blue Velvet was about not fucking looking at Dennis Hopper.
Eraserhead is about the challenges of having a child.
The Elephant Man is about a man who who was known as the elephant man.
PABST BLUE RIBBON!
I absolutely love some of Lynch's work but will openly confess that I have no idea what he was trying to tell me.
Surrealist art is intended to speak to the subconscious. I have a feeling this is why Lynch didn't like to explain the meaning of his films. Emotional understanding emphasised over intellectual understanding.
You can tell he's telling you something. That's enough for me.
Well put. A director that mutes all others in comparison. Plenty of great directors address the audience, Lynch displays it all in such a way as to inexplicably yet certainly speak to you and you alone
imho, it all boils down to two simple things:
- We live inside a dream, but who is the dreamer?
- You can't go back home.
Straight story was about the existential dread of living in an infinite and ultimately meaningless universe that neither knows about or cares about our brief existence
I understand that his work makes me feel both mystified, curious, and and a little scared ; that maybe there is some hint of magic in the world and it is dark but alluring and a little comical.
If someone else appreciates these feelings and wants to share them with me, hell yeah, let's get together.
david lynch make a good movie challenge: 99% fail.
Jokes on you, I watch Lynch's Dune to find a partner.
I actually avoid his films like the plague!!!!
I would sell my mother into slavery to experience his works for the first time all over again :')
My apologies. I have offended your religion
WHO DO YOU THINK THAT IS THERE?!
Just you and I
This scene gets my cry-laughing every time. I want to get into a jam session with some people and lure them into doing this without realizing.
Omg that would be amazing. No one in my band watches twin peaks so it would fall on deaf ears but one day I will
You are in a band with deaf people? Do you play... deaf metal?
I'll see myself out.
LMFAO that was good.
You can stay.
In Heaven, everything is fine…
Sir I think you are mistaken, I enjoy Troma and Cannon
