no it doesn't make any sense
no it's not deep
no you don't understand it because there's no meaning
yes you're stupid
No it doesn't make any sense
Lynch is such an overrated hack
won't deny that it was fapkino though
eraserhead is his only good work
It was pretty easy to understand actually.
This is a faggot opinion.
So boring compared to his other works.
I thought Lost Highway was a meaningless mess (even though it was one of my favorite films) until it all started falling into place years later.
Suicide in Hollywood isn’t a thing.
It was a fucking dream, how retarded do you have to be to miss how the film shows her falling asleep in the very first scene
Meaningless or not it's quite comfy
It also has that rewatchable factor which I score highly on
Like Forrest Gump is far from the best movie on the furst watch but it's endlessly rewatchable
This is generally the opinion of people who get offended by not being spoonfed. It isn't supposed to make you feel stupid or look pretentious, but drag you along for the ride.
In a nutshell, you weren't entertained and that's ok.
You're not actually meant to "understand" surrealism you dickwhistle
I love that movie even though i still think its a meaningless mess
'Deep' is a misused word.
Morons online usually use it as if there's some single, secret meaning to a work/movie that you can decode, that's supposed to tell you something about SOCIETY, EVIL or REALITY, and which of course you can learn just from some ranting layman on youtube.
Guess what, it's not. The kid you see later on is the older saxophone player at a much younger age.
As the older saxophone player he gets his wife killed for cheating on him.
Not so meaningless now.
The overall message is "them bitches ain't loyal"
The first half of the movie was a dream sequence/fantasy after she had her former girlfriend murdered, what's not to get?
thinking that chaining the pieces of the narrative together as if what they suggest might somehow be better understood if structured within a more traditional narrative arc further proves how little you understand the general concept
The movie opens by closing in on a pillow, doesn't get any more obvious than that faggot. A 5 year old could tell you it was a person having a dream
This. First half is all wish fulfillment where Naomi's character was fresh off the bus wide-eyed and innocent super talented actress who doesn't get the part only because of a conspiracy and the sexy brunette falls madly in love with her. Second half the fantasy is over and we see the harsh reality of Hollywood failure, humiliation, murder and guilt.
I think they just did
>i didn't understand it therefore it must be 2deep4u too
No, it was easy to understand, you're just stupid.
upboated
Not only do you not understand the film, you don't even understand the basic themes of the artistic movement without which it would not exist. It's probably that you are so uninformed that has led to you to say such stupid things, as if the point of a surrealist film was to chain together elements of the narrative and attempt to make them work as a traditional narrative should. It's embarrassing.
>Surrealism is not to be understood
>btw I'm the only one in this thread who understands it
Do you realize how stupid you sound?
>Hurr durr I'm a fucking retard, look at me being retarded, look at the retarded shit I say
Sure is easy to win an argument if you just make up the gist of what the other person says. Nice one, you fucking turbobrainlet.
At least I'm not a pretentious fuckwad trying to school people on a Burmese Buttplugging board lmao
You, the guy bragging about how easy it is to understand Lynch movies, are not pretentious. Lmao. Dream on friendo.
You're confusing me with a different poster, retard
I understood the film to ultimately be about infidelity, I'm just talking about the way everything unfolds. Who was the white haired doppelganger, why did she disappear from the photo, how the fuck did the younger version of himself get into the jail and why was his name different, etc
I don't ask myself these things when it comes to a lynch movie tho cuz i just prefer to watch it happen and enjoy the ride
My bad, I thought because you were the only reply in a chain of replies directly related to that argument in which you made no attempt to distance yourself from the previous argument, that was what you thought. How silly of me.
fucking kekaroo
op too busy being a smart alec to be thinking
It's no different than William S. Burroughs' "Cities of the Red Night / The Place of Dead Roads / The Western Lands" trilogy. You either get it or you don't.
Maybe try listening to the soundtrack in earnest.
Then, go back and watch that movie again.
Who cares? Henry Rollins gets to play a cop, again!
This.
"Buy the ticket, take the ride."
-- Hunter Thompson
Most of Lynch's movies have that premise.
It's not supposed to look like it makes any sense. That's just David Lynch's style. Kinda cool and "dreamy" don't you think?
It's cool to think that Mystery Man is some otherworldly entity, but it's more like he's a mafia hitman haunting the dude's visions.
I really like that idea. A psychic hitman... It's like a mix between The Fields of the Nephilim and Julee Cruise but IN YOUR HEAD / dreams.
Yeah his stuff is great when you learn to get rid of your desire for clean narrative
Wait I think the mob boss actually had the girl killed when her and the sax player ran off together framing him for murder.
I can only assume they were living in hiding for years after being tracked down.
I always thought the same thing. It was made pretty much obvious with the Twin Peaks series.
His later stuff I think would be great on psychedelics or just being drunk because of that lack of narrative. I think Dune would be a terribly bad trip, though... It really is about the mood and then a scattershot of narrative that is a cut and paste method (like the aforementioned W.S. Burroughs technique). The themes are there but just intertwined amongst one another on and on so that there IS a plot but it's very loose and slippery, not nailed down in spikes like a typical spy movie or romance movie might have.
The movie is te fantasy of a dying woman, in which her greatest rival and love of her life is seperated into two different entities, the first now only beating her with an elaborate mob conspiracy, and the second having amnesia and being totally dependent on her.
people fear what they don't understand
Multiple people in this thread have noticed your stupidity and joined in on pointing it out.
LYNCHED
I think you're right to a point as everything gets blurred as to what is reality.
I remember seeing this in the theater and the weirdest part for me was my girlfriend started crying during the "Crying" (Orbison song) sequence. Then it hit me: it's all about feeling and emotion and not necessarily plot. I could think about it like folk songs always exist but constantly change and permutate but they're still the same song.
Also, Angelo Badalamente spitting out his espresso in disgust was fucking awesome. Without saying a word, dabbing his mouth with that ultra-white-cloth napkin. If that's not kino, then I'm lost.
>reee im smarter than established filmmakers who dedicate their life to art meanwhile I do nothing but shitpost like a 3rd grader online reee
Are you from reddit by any chance?

It only got more surreal when Trump acknowledged Lynch.
