>>214168489Guy A did something to girl A.But girl A was sisters with girl B.And guy A is actually guy B.But girl B never existed because it was always girl A.But guy B turned back into guy A.While camera man watches the future?The fuck is this plot.
It was with this movie that I realized that david Lynch is hot garbage.
>>214168489Marylin Manson jump scare.
>>214168489AAAAAHHHH I PREMATURELY EJACULATED INTO MY WIFE NOW I HAVE TO KILL HER
This magic moment...
>>214168489That saxophone blaring
>movies where the soundtrack is better than the movie
>>214168819Best part.
>>214168531>The fuck is this plot.Guy does something awful and represses it, then dreams up a whole alternative life and story where it didn't happen but it comes crashing down on him. Lynch has explicitly stated that what made him do Lost Highway was his fascination with split personalities and dreaming up this whole world that isn't real.
>>214168711It do be like that sometimes
>>214168489My favorite Lynch.
>>214168489I fucking love this movie
>>214168538This desu. Outside of Mulholland Dr and The Elephant Man he's not worth watching.
pure kino
It's not my favorite Lynch but I think the party scene is maybe the best thing Lynch has ever done. It's everything that is great about him, it's disturbing, scary, funny, it's Lynchian. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Y7LpMraIncWhen he starts laughing and you hear it from both him and through the phone, it's so crazy kino to me and then I fucking crack up every single time at the "Give me back my phone"
>>214168764awesome tune, that and prime Patricia Arquette naked were the highlights.
>>214168489I love Lost Highway. The plot is pretty straight forward: Fred is a schlubby middle aged guy who is having sexual frustration with his wife and thinks she's cheating on him. So he kills her and represses it. While he's in prison, he retreats into this bizarre fantasy that he's not schlubby middle aged Fred, he's this hot young stud mechanic Pete! He's in prison for some minor crime and gets out and goes home to his family and his gf and has lots of sex. One day at work, he spies a beautiful blonde woman, who resembles Fred's murdered wife but goes by a different name and has a different hairstyle, and she's being taken advantage of by this gangster thug. So Pete keeps following this fantasy down the rabbit hole but bits of his subconscious keep bleeding through and reminding him of himself as Fred. Eventually he can't reconcile it anymore and returns to his memories as Fred.The mystery man and the wrap around storytelling are just little bits in the story to remind you not to take it 100% literally. You are following a man through his delusions as he tries to convince himself that he didn't kill his wife.
>>214168489Really? As far as "full-blown surrealism" goes this is the simplest Lynch film to comprehend, I think. All you need to know to get it is that he was directly inspired by the OJ murder and his "figue state" defence, and by the concept of a Mobius band, something without beginning or end.The "we've met before" scene is probably my favourite bit of Lynch.
>>214169995Pete's gf was gorgeous and had a much better body. Man, Lynch's taste in women was impeccable, what a fucking stud.
Pretty much everyone stops at the fugue state/alternate idealized reality interpretation, and feels themselves satisfied.It is arguably one of the most difficult lynch films to understand, surpassed maybe by Inland Empire. Maybe.
>>214168902How do you explain this then?
>>214170315I mean it's a solid interpretation and slots pretty nicely in with the theme of fugue which Lynch talked about a lot in regards to this movie. there might be deeper thematic layers if you wanna peel it apart more, but for people just trying to understand the basic plot, it's a fine explanation and not that hard to understand.
>>214170223The whole killing your wife and going delusional reminds me to Silent Hill 2 a bit
>>214168489Of the 4 Lynch movies I've seen, I wasn't big on this or Mulholland Drive.Eraserhead and Blue Velvet were quite kino, though.I was kinda liking MD, but then it just went all in on the elements I didn't care about and dropped the things I was interested in. I wanted more of the bungling hitman.
>>214170636Team Silent directly cite Lost Highway as inspiration for Silent Hill 1 and 2.
>and you?! WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU?!
>>214169869The Straight Story is really good
>>214168489Richard Pryor in this..Out of left field.
>>214168489Probably one of the best life-lesson movies you could show your 15 year old son.
>>214168531Evil is cyclic, thematic, and has far reaching consequences
How does the tailgating car scene fit into the usual interpretation here: >>214170223 Was it just for shits and giggles?
It's tough competition but this is his worst.
>>214168489DAVID LYNCHS...PRETENTIOUS SELF INDULGENT CRAPComing this summer!
Time is a flat circle and it was all a dream (All of it)
>Pretentious bullshit that makes no sense?>N-no you just got lynched haha!
>>214173166get lynched retard
David Lynch only makes movies for stupid people.
>>214173786suck my ass
>>214173847midwit take
>>214172400>Was it just for shits and giggles?I would say for the most part, yeah. I think Lynch has actually talked about this and based this scene on a genuine angry rant Robert Loggia gave to him when he found out he didn't get the part of Frank in Blue Velvet that he wanted. I actually think this movie is fairly straightforward once you understand the fugue concept, but you do have to keep in mind that Lynch primarily directs to create feelings and impressions, and not every single scene is strictly in service of the plot. He also has a pretty strong sense of humour, which comes out more in movies like Wild at Heart, but you can see it on display here too. He had casted Loggia and wanted to capture the impression he got from his real ranting, and this is what came out of that. In context of the story, it sets up his character as unhinged and dangerous, which feeds into Fred's fantasy as snatching the girl out from a dangerous mobster makes him feel manly and rebellious - and ultimately precipitates the collapse of his fantasy as it turns against him. I'm sure somebody has written up some meta analysis about it, but I don't think it's much deeper than that.
isn’t this the one lynch movie that he literally explained exactly what it meant?
>>214174367Pretty much yeah. Thematically it's one of his simplest movies, but this is where he started dabbling with more unconventional narrative structures and dream imagery and that filters a lot of people who just want something simple spoonfed to them.
