Eraserhead
I have to say this one of the most disturbing films I have ever seen. I have heard many things about it, but after watching it I feel like I wasted two hours of my life. I do believe there are some commendable things to say about it, like thank god it was only two hours instead of three. Honestly, I was impressed with the set design and style of the piece simply based on the budget restrictions he(Lynch) was under. I also liked the quirkiness of Jack Nance. With that said, I thought not only was this movie a trip into the surreal, but I think not even David Lynch knew what he was trying accomplish. This movie should have been lost into obscurity, but people who are lost themselves and are searching for a deeper meaning in life somehow latched onto this film at the midnight showings! I will save all of you the time and energy.... this film has no meaning! There is no rhyme or reason to the chaos presented before us in this picture! I am almost inclined to think that Mr. Lynch was doing a social experiment to see if the audience can create meaning where there is none....

I could not agree with you more. I have never been so depressed and angry about having watched a movie in my life; and I didn't even pay for a movie ticket!!!!
ReplyDeleteI watched it and frankly was not disturbed about it. it was one of those films where my random trail of thought felt comfortable because my mind sometimes works that way. I was eating throughout the film as well and still made it to the process of digestion.
