How David Lynch Messes with Your Mind

Lynch is the embodiment of modern art in motion picture

This world just isn't the same without David Lynch!

The world is a little less weird without Lynch. That’s not a good thing

Man even seeing the POV of that diner alley gives me goosebumps. Still terrifying after all these years and all the times I've watched this

What moment/scene will you remember David Lynch for?

I never knew what was going on in a lot of his movies, but they kept me engaged

2:59 like this is LITERALLY how I describe any of Lynch’s films to my friends. My best friend was interest in Lost Highway after hearing the soundtrack and I tried to give him the plot details which went something like “So a guy and his wife are getting these video tapes of the inside of their house, the guy meets this short creepy dude, then he gets a video of him murdering his wife even though he doesn’t remember doing it, he gets put on death row… and then a bunch of weird shit happens.” Then I was describing Mulholland Dr to another friend and that description went like “So a woman is about to be assassinated, but they get into a car accident and it gives her amnesia, she wanders into an aspiring actress’ home… and then a bunch of weird shit happens.” And with Blue Velvet “So a guy finds a severed ear in a field, does some sleuthing with the chick from Jurassic Park, he sneaks into the apartment of a woman who seems connected to the crime… and then a bunch of weird shit happens”. Rather Odd how my descriptions always seem to devolve into that phrase 😅

Eraserhead was one of the most disturbing movies I've ever seen, precisely because of how accurately it depicts the feeling of a nightmare. It wasn't exactly "scary" like other movies, but the pure feeling of uncanny-ness I had watching it unsettled me more than almost anything else.

When you think deeply about Mulholland Drive and what it was tapping into regarding the casting couch, unattainable dreams, Hollywood and dreams, it makes you think about art very differently. The surrealism and uncanniness of it all amplifies it

I may disagree with a lot of Lynch’s philosophies, he is still my absolute favorite director. RIP king.
