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.
and the challenges eating a small bird
Also, the superiority of Pabst Blue Ribbon when compared to Heineken.
PABST BLUE RIBBON!
Lost Highway is about OJ Simpson.
Most plausible hypothesis right here
David Lynch said so himself. That was the inspiration for the film.
Twin Peaks was about Kyle MacLachlin becoming an oppressive tyrant with his newfound powers while consuming a beloved, addictive substance.
Damn good coffee.
Mulholland Drive had a coherent story. The first half was Naomi Watts’ character’s dream.
It was supposed to be a series, they pulled the plug halfway through the pilot so he wrapped it up into a film. First half was setting the groundwork for a much longer story.
Right, now explain blue velvet.
Long con setting up the Star Wars sequels.
Pretend to understand your films? I don’t even know who you are.
That’s Dan Povenmire, he created the Minions.
It’s director David Lynch.
I will research just as soon as I’m done replying…
But you have no idea how little that narrows it down lol
It narrows it down to exactly one person…
And they are all directors and look like the guy in the picture? Get real.
If you’re not familiar with this work, I highly recommend Mulholland Drive, whose two lead actresses are pictured with Lynch in the meme. Twin Peaks is a good option but it’s a show and therefore quite long. Then watch Eraserhead if you want to get weird.
Thanks for the suggestion, I’ll have to see about checking it out!
this is such a funny reply
I absolutely love some of Lynch’s work but will openly confess that I have no idea what he was trying to tell me.
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.
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.
Movies by David Lynch show the dreams you have when bad stuff happen to you in real life.
I’m also a Lynch fan. The only time I really watch his movies is when I have a bad fever. I was sweating through my couch, dying to sip water and binging Twin Peaks. It’s really the only way to watch, I have to say.
Maybe psychedelics? That might be good too.
That’s kind of the point.
The man himself said it in Twin Peaks: „Fix your hearts or die“
Jokes on you! I pretend to understand your films to get close enough to artsy girls to borrow their clothes!
I’m not convinced even David himself understands his films. Feels like a 40 year project of trolling cinemagoers and watching them pretend they understand it.
Eraserhead was his most spiritual film.
Care to elaborate?
No.
For the longest time I kept getting this confused with the 96 Schwarzenegger flick “Eraser” and kept wondering why people thought that film was so deep.
Eraserhead was certainly my most spiritual film – no other movie has ever made me pray for death.
Sir I think you are mistaken, I enjoy Troma and Cannon
A man of taste
Best director who ever lived. Twin peaks was one of my biggest reasons for relocating to the pnw
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.
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
I unironically love his films.
david lynch make a good movie challenge: 99% fail.
Don’t come at me like this. It’s all I have
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
Thank yoy for clearing that up. I always thought it was about a man visiting his brother.
Jokes on you, I watch Lynch’s Dune to find a partner.
