Date: May 22nd, 2019 6:17 PM Author: Razzle cruise ship maybe i should rewatch. havent seen it in a long time. first time i saw it i thought to myself i might have just watched my favorite movie. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4266806&forum_id=2#38273695) |

Date: May 23rd, 2019 9:30 AM Author: topaz electric parlour community account Its a great movie but I like several of Lynch's other films more. Re-watch and then report back with your thoughts. You have good taste in movies, Id be interested to hear your opinion (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4266806&forum_id=2#38276312) |

Date: May 23rd, 2019 3:16 PM Author: Razzle cruise ship i liked wild at heart a lot, but blue velvet is my favorite lynch movie. wild at heart could be second. twin peaks fire walk with me is pretty amazing as well. the holy trilogy of lynch for me.

Date: May 23rd, 2019 3:24 PM Author: topaz electric parlour community account Interesting. Wild at Heart is probably my least favorite Lynch film. Mulholland Drive, Lost Highway, Inland Empire are my holy trilogy. Also adore Eraserhead but thats in its own separate category imo.

Date: May 23rd, 2019 3:26 PM Author: Razzle cruise ship so u like his more experimental stuff, i see. not that blue velvet or twin peaks or wild at heart arent out there, but they are not completely reconstructing the movie form.

Date: May 23rd, 2019 3:19 PM Author: Razzle cruise ship btw, i tried watching mullholand drive high on weed, and it just wasnt clicking. same with lost highway. for some reason those movies dont work when you are high on weed. some movies work extra good, like i saw NEW WORLD by malick high as fuck, and it really opened up to me like a beautiful flower. saw many moveis high on weed and enjoyed the everliving fuck out of them, examples like GLADIATOR, THEY LIVE, ASSAULT ON PRECINCT 13, PULP FICTION...list is long, but mullholand dr. which i always thought of as one of my favorite movies ever since i saw it one time, it just didnt do anything for me. strange, isnt it? like, there is no emotion happening in mullholand or lost highway, its all very strange stuff. its mysterious. i mean, honestly, most every movie i love weed makes it better in a special way, not always, but often, but not those two movies, i just felt nothing watching them. then i remember i popped in lost highway sober later and was enjoying it a lot... very odd!
oh and i saw wild at heart first time high as fuck, and it was a beautiful experience. one of my best movie watching experiences ever. so i dunno... |

Date: May 23rd, 2019 3:29 PM Author: Soul-stirring Theatre Boistinker what do you mean by emotion happening? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4266806&forum_id=2#38278365) |
|
Date: May 23rd, 2019 3:30 PM Author: Razzle cruise ship might have been the wrong phrasing. there is no plot happening is maybe more accurate to say. but also, people just say random stuff to each other, and there is nothing to guide your emotional radar as the movie happens.

Date: May 23rd, 2019 3:31 PM Author: Razzle cruise ship k , cool. i just wasnt able to click into either movie while high, which surprised me because i usually feel more emotion on weed. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4266806&forum_id=2#38278386) |

Whats your favorite lars von Trier movie? I feel like we have discussed this before but i dont remember |
|
Date: May 23rd, 2019 4:11 PM Author: Razzle cruise ship i liked his new serial killer movie the house that jack built. i kinda liked europe europa. i kinda like melancholia. i dont like his other movies, and ive seen them all... they are too sad. dancer in the dark, breaking the waves... i dont like them. too much for me. antichrist is too dark. there are some movies i dont like because they are too deranged and dark, like irreversible, or the void, which teeters on the edge of being too dark for me. and trier is right there kinda, on the edge of what my good taste allows me to enjoy or be repulsed by. i didnt think house that jack built was repulsive because it wasnt as sad watching a man's soul torn up as watching a womans soul get torn up like in his other movies. there is something about watching a man suffer that is much more pleasing for me than watching women suffer, which is not pleasing to my taste. i like his style though, its very deep and powerful, makes you contemplate the hell of life and the heaven all in one scene, and he has a wicked sense of humor.
not sure im a huge fan of his shaky camera style. he doesnt really make movies look good, but he does know how to engage emotions and put you right in the actors feelings. however, im a big fan of how a movie looks, and his movies generally speaking look like garbage. |
|
Date: May 27th, 2019 5:58 PM Author: topaz electric parlour community account his movies are extremely difficult to watch. that being said, i think he's an amazing filmmaker
i think melancholia is a gorgeous masterpiece and ive only watched it twice. the first time i watched it i couldnt stop thinking about it for several days afterwards
breaking the waves i literally had to watch in 20 minute increments because it was so sad/depressing
antichrist is obviously dark AF, jesus |
|
Date: May 27th, 2019 6:04 PM Author: Razzle cruise ship agree with your reply 100 percent. some movies for me are too dark, honestly. i watched the shining by Kubrick yesterday, and as much as i kinda like it, its too dark for me. its absolutely as dark as my mind sometimes gets, but i dont like that head-space.
antichrist is def too dark for me. i appreciate that kind of angle on reality, i am sometimes consumed by it, but it honestly is not a good place to be in. it might be a shade of reality tahts real, or it could even be the bottom of whats underneath it all (hopefully not), but i dont like being in that kind of room. i got a room like that in my head, believe me.
melancholia is more of a confronting death kinda movie, after all, the apocalypse of the world mirrors our own private oblivion. it was definitely an interesting ride and something out there to experience, something our inner life does contemplate from time to time.
and i tried rewatching breaking the waves, and i just didnt want to go on that ride again. deleted the movie. but the first time i saw it, i got a huge punch in my heart. heartbreaking movie, and the final ending with the bells in the sky was maybe the redeeming thing about this movie and what makes it worth watching at least once, just to experience that ending. because that one kind of matches something positive and sad at the same time about our journey in this world, about what we are in this plane. honestly, any really touching, good movie will have that moment somehow in there. |

Date: May 23rd, 2019 3:30 PM Author: topaz electric parlour community account I will answer this poast later when Im on a computer, but I think theres a lot of emotion in both films (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4266806&forum_id=2#38278373) |

Date: May 27th, 2019 6:10 PM Author: topaz electric parlour community account there is a definite explanation/'solution' to whats going on in mulholland drive. i will try to keep my explanation as brief as possible.
its important to understand the structure of what youre watching: the first 2/3s of the movie is diane selwyn's dream. she wakes up, makes coffee, has a series of flashbacks about the events that led up to her putting a hit out on her lover (rita/camilla), she goes crazy when the police knock on her door (they figured out she had her lover murdered and they are coming to arrest her), and then she kills herself.
let me explain further...
when the movie starts, you see people swing dancing and then you see a camera panning down into a pillow while you hear deep breathing. this is diane selwyn falling asleep. the first 2/3s of the movie is the dream she has about the last 1/3 of the movie. the last 1/3 of the movie is reality. in her dream, she is an innocent young actress that moves to california and helps a woman in trouble. the reality (the last 1/3 of the dream) is that it is the dark-haired rita/camilla rhodes that is successful and diane/betty is the spurned lover. she puts a hit out on rita/camilla and she is murdered. everything that happens in the first 2/3 of the movie is her fantasy/dream version of reality. the last 1/3 explains everything that actually happened.
the genius of the film is how lynch portrays things in the dream and how they correspond with reality.
i can give more specific examples but that is the basic overview/explanation. if you re-watch the film with that in mind, you will get much more out of it. |
|
Date: May 27th, 2019 6:14 PM Author: Razzle cruise ship i dont think i should have to read an explanation of what a film is about to enjoy it, and the first time i saw it i had no idea what was up what was down and i did like it a lot. i just think the movie is twisted as fuck, doesnt really need any explanations to like it or even love it, and its so twisted that even being high doesnt really lend itself to enhancing it. same with lost highway. he just went all out experimental on those two, not counting his first movie, i guess. these are just sad, dark, beautiful movies that dont work like normal movies do.
but to me, his more "normal" films are the sweet spot. blue velvet, wild at heart, and twink peaks fire walk with me. three of my favorite movies of all time. |
|
Date: May 27th, 2019 6:16 PM Author: topaz electric parlour community account mulholland drive is TRULY a masterpiece. the way he shows her dream world/subconscious is perfect down to every corresponding detail. i like the craziness of it, its non traditional structure, and the symbolism. but thats just me. i can see how others might not like it.
blue velvet is good, but to me its just an introduction to the 3 movies that really define lynch- lost highway, mulholland drive, inland empire. |
|
Date: May 27th, 2019 6:21 PM Author: Razzle cruise ship i have inland empire and i still havent seen it. kinda scared i wont like it and something tells me i wont since you put it with those two. its one of his out there experiments, seems like.
mullholand drive and lost highway have certain moments that are creepy as all fuck and penetrate into your cranium like a dagger. there is the scene i remember from mulholland dr. where her mom and dad are sitting, and the mom is smiling, and it seems okay at first, but then she continues smiling, and it becomes one of the most fucked up things i have ever seen. not sure thats my favorite kind of entertainment, i appreciate it, but its just messing with my mind at that point. i think lynch was in a dark place when he made mulholland. its one of his darkest movies, if not darkest. veers off too far into deranged territory without something to hold it together, imo.
so yes, i see we have a big disagreement on lynch here, but hey, it is what it is. my opinions and feelings do change from time to time, though. |
|
Date: May 27th, 2019 6:23 PM Author: topaz electric parlour community account oh man LOL if you think lost highway and mulholland drive are too complicated, do NOT watch inland empire
its legitimately the most confusing movie ive ever seen. there are basically 4 different layers of story in that movie.
did you ever watch eraserhead? |
|
Date: May 27th, 2019 6:29 PM Author: Razzle cruise ship i saw eraserhead once, and it didnt leave any great mark on me. i definitely need to re-watch.
and i think im going to watch inland empire today, its calling to me! you never know, i might like it! thats the joy of watching new movies, just diving right in. |
|
Date: May 27th, 2019 6:30 PM Author: topaz electric parlour community account ok, feel free to make a thread "JCM WHAT THE FUCK DID I JUST WATCH" in 4 hours. i look forward to it :)
eraserhead is brilliant. re-watch it sometime |
|
Date: May 27th, 2019 6:31 PM Author: Razzle cruise ship k, ill make a double bill of it either today or sometime soon and come back with my thoughts and feelings itt.

Date: May 23rd, 2019 3:22 PM Author: Razzle cruise ship another comment:
the movie (spoilers!) ends with a fake robin knocking on the window... and the movie BARTON FINK ends with a sea gull dropping into the water on the beach to catch a fish...
i thought its interesting that these two strange movies about life and death end with a bird, and in a way that make you go huh.. and then the movie ends. |
