Artsy films are trash. Theres no a single high concept movie that isnt the dumbest piece of crap that so called experts clap for
Just saying a bunch of random shit and claiming its all a metaphor doesnt make your movie smart or deep. Its just meaningless drivel

Most Lynch movies is just a series of ideas for scenes, he's said this himself. If you expect any grand narrative or a throughline in his movies, you'll be sorely disappointed. It's movies you watch and appreciate for the weirdness it creates.

>>217466284
Heh, but have you tried watching them on acid?

>>217466259
People who need to resort to drugs to watch media probably lack imagination or internal monologue

Flicking a light switch repeatedly feels profound and compelling when you're on acid.

>>217466259
Have you tried it, though?

>>217466300
So he's a complete midwit incapable of making a concise piece? In any other artform this kind of approach would be considered amateurish. Just goes to show that films are mere products, and little more.

>In any other artform this kind of approach would be considered amateurish.
Surrealism didn't originate in cinema but agreed it is the realm of hacks.

>>217466259
>you have to be on drugs to enjoy it!
ugh I hate boomers so much

>>217466720
>in any other art form
Not true at all

Aren't all movies on drugs good?
t. non-druggie

>>217466883
Nah

This shit is not artsy or "weird", it's just shit

>>217466720
Narrative has always been the crutch of the midwit. Any idiot can follow the plot and be "story good". But once you take away the narrative and force the viewer to make connections on their own, when you make the viewer an active participant, that's when retards tap out.

I like Lynch but Inland Empire is unwatchable and the dogshit cheapo digital look doesn't help. One of the good things of pre IE Lynch films is that they were top notch visually.

>>217466259
Inland Empire is a great film. It's an experience unlike anything else. The best way to watch it is to leave it on as you go to sleep. I'm not joking. It will enter your dreams and you will wake up in a nightmare.

>>217466979
This. Lynch is generally amazing but Inland Empire is not a good movie. Not all of his attempts at experimentation have resulted in good films and the people who will just pretend it's good because they think they're supposed to are the real midwits.

>>217467012
No, it fucking isn't. It's total fucking garbage
Kill yourself
>>217467013
>Lynch is generally amazing
No, "he" isn't, what the fuck are you talking about? Everything "he" ever did is shit
>his attempts at experimentation
What?

>>217466979
>>217467013
You're right. It's not a "good film". It's a great film. It has nothing to do with being a mid wit. It's about being open to a new experience, and Inland Empire provides that. Maybe you don't know how to make yourself have that experience, and so you reject the film. But, like I just posted, put it on while you are going to bed and see what happens.

>>217467044
I've tried to watch it twice and both times I ended up quitting halfway in
>uhh dude it's supposed to be uncomfortable!
well fuck you I'm too old for this

It is completely okay to watch surrealist film in shorts and segments. Call it the old cut-up method, it’s all just mood and association anyways

>>217466926
>Narrative has always been the crutch of the midwit.
Narrative driven storytelling is always the pinnacle of art be it literature or cinema.
Any druggie can watch a dream sequence and be "bro that was like an acid trip. Pure vibes bro"
>when you make the viewer an active participant
Art isn't a video game manchild.

>>217467643
This. You're an active participant while playing video games but that does not make it an intellectual activity lmao.

>>217466300
I think I was only slightly sour about this approach via Twin Peaks s3. There is a lot of good in it but TP was a preestalished series where Lynch worked with Frost, the network, etc. so it didn't conform to pure Lynchian films he made prior and after. And then with s3 the pre-estalished non-pure Lynchian TP became pure Lynchian. A bit frustrating.

>>217466259
Ummm did you even get that its meant to be DREAM LOGIC, chuddo? sounds like you got LYNCHED sweatie.

>>217466883
I tried to watch 2001 while stone cold sober and was unable to finish it. Went back and tried to rewatch it on acid and still couldn't finish it.

this will be my first lynch film im watching
a girl friend of mine invited me to watch blue velvet but i fell asleep 25 min in, thats all the prior lynch experience i have

>25 minutes
Is it actually difficult for people to sit and look at a tv for that long?

>>217466259
What kind of a fucking loser eats mushrooms at 30 yo?
