Why did he actually care so much about the plot that he put so many fucking details and allusions in his movies that a viewer cannot possibly connect it all together so the true story is like an easter egg community hunt in a video game? Biggest misconception about Lynch is that he directed based on a whim, or as zoomers would say - on a vibe. Where in fact everything was so fucking meticulous that he gave 10 points about decoding some of his masterworks (Mullholland Drive) and 25 years later each of those 10 points has at least five differing opinions on what it all fucking means. Greatest direction of all time in my opinion.
I don't think I've ever actually even seen one of his movies and Twin Peaks is just people crying for 10 episodes about some random chick with the same synth track playing every couple of minutes.

Reminder, the Palisades fire killed him
>>220226049I'd shoot you if I could. Double tap and one through the gut to make extra sure.

Tiger in the Tall Grass. His Abstraction method makes the 'surreal' something palpable. We do this with our lives and decisions. Having it out there in a film, we all collectively can get a cathartic hold on it-- and if the image isn't quite all there or resolved, we make out more or less what it is and where it's going.
>>220225866I suppose it's meant to model dream logic where there's a reason why certain things appear, certain symbols, but it's always a bit hazy. You can have an interpretation of your dream and it'll often be 90% of the way there to explaining it all but never quite 100%.
>>220226110>>220226424>elderly man didn't have a firm grasp on emerging technologieswowwwww no way
>>220227154Blasting cigs since he was 8 was a contributing factor.
>>220227346it's actually quite a sophisticated take. He interprets it as a tool that can inspire and facilitate new art. It's insight light years beyond your average 20-something artist who just impotently seethes about it
>>220226110he didn't understand ai at all. it does the opposite of everything he said. it finds the lowest local minima it can from all of its input and produces the most average possible output.
Nothing he made was ever actually that complicated. You pseuds just go in thinking Inland Empire is a "challenge" or whatever and then miss the forest for the trees.
>>220225866>Biggest misconception about Lynch is that he directed based on a whim, or as zoomers would say - on a vibe.Yeah there's generally no such thing as this on a professional level. Hollywood film-making is a very involving process with lots of money on the line, everything is meticulously planned for the shoot.
>>220225866>Where in fact everything was so fucking meticulous that he gave 10 points about decoding some of his masterworks (Mullholland Drive) and 25 years later each of those 10 points has at least five differing opinions on what it all fucking means.Those ten points were literally him trolling the critics and audiences that didn't "understand" Mulholland Drive and thought there was something to "decode" in the first place.Mind you, some of these points are actually quite interesting to pursue - the name of Kesher's film, for example, lead people to finding an actual short story named "The Irony of Fake" about a certain Silvia North that does mirror Betty/Diane's story arc in some ways. And they make you pay attention to details, which is always worthwhile. But none of them actually are central to understanding either plot or themes of the film.
>>220229005he didn't know what photoshop was until his assistant showed him, anon, lynch didn't give a fuck about modern technology
>>220228219>>220227154smoking cigarettes actually gives you strong resistance to smoke inhalation
>>220229856Turns out if makes you resistant to all kinds of inhalation, including oxigen.
>>220226049you are one seriously dumb motherfucker

>>220229195that's not true, lynch used a fuckton of modern tech and wasn't afraid to switch his style to make movies like inland empire even though they're a technical step back. that smarmy little faggot anon is trying to conflate lynch's openness to new tech as to be embracing ai slop which simply isn't true. lynch hated ersatz culture and took great pains to create the experience for the viewer. a man who spoke against smartphones and their video reproduction capabilities would absolutely abhor ai as soon as the novelty wore out which is like few hours of entering prompts.
>>220229005lynch was known to adore big techhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wKiIroiCvZ0
>>220225866Idk but he had impeccable taste in women
>>220231764>casts laura dern as romantic leadbut then nobody's flawless
>>220231780You'd fuck Laura Dern if you had the chance, anon.
>>220231922at some point yes but that's not high praise for her
>>220226049This. Twin Peaks is literally a soap opera, for people who aren't familiar with soap operas.Lynch IS a genius. Just not in the way most of his fans think.>Fucked up weird hair, normal clothesThis is a dead giveaway. Anybody who tries to add random flair is a scammer and/or rapist.
>>220231984Twin Peaks has nothing to do with soap operas, it just wears that skin. Twin Peaks became a soap opera when Lynch went off the set, which is the highest praise his work can get - the sheer inability of the network to reproduce what he made. Having this short exchange in 2026 is wild, you and that guy are fucking retards lol.
>>220232041twin peaks was conceptualized as a cop show/soap opera
>>220225866He thought making it more convoluted and difficult to understand made it smarter.
>>220232253If you think that Lynch of all people made "convoluted and difficult to understand" films, that says a lot about your mental capacities, and the way you watch ... sorry - consooom media.
>>220229005I wouldn't read too much into it. Lynch liked technology and was, generally speaking, positive on it. AI emerged when he had basically retired from film making and most other artistic endeavours. I think if he had seriously engaged with it, he would have realized how limited it really is.
>>220225866>Thinking he wasn't just making shit up.When the Mulholland Drive DVD came out he put in some dogshit "CLUES TO UNDERSTAND THE MOVIE" and it made it so obvious to anyone with a brain that he was trying to make people think there was a real solution. Dude was making deliberately impossible to understand shit for redditors for years.
Lynch's entire career is basically entering 'make it like Francis Bacon but not so obvious' prompt over and over so it's no wonder he'd be pro AI.
>>220233859That's not true. Lynch's closest associate is Mark Frost and they spent countless hours pitching narrative ideas to one another, this is all well documented.
>>220225866The only movie of his I have seen is eraserhead and I thought it was kinda retarded. I liked the little alien retard though.
>>220233859See >>220229181.You yourself literally fell for it.
