I also understand most of what went on in Blue Velvet. Some of his other films, though, require keys that exist only in Lynch's own brain and to which the rest of humanity are not privy.<br /><br />Twin Peaks Fire Walk With Me, Inland Empire, Lost Highway--these are movies that make absolutely no sense to me, while sometimes offering some entertaining sequences. Bits of Inland Empire seem to be a retelling of the same story in Mulholland Drive. I can grok those bits. But the rest of Empire? Retread of Lost Highway, I think, but that one remains a total mystery to me.<br /><br />James Robert Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17281049641681225389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1003345269984484749.post-84787006716407985742013-07-04T12:54:57.377-04:002013-07-04T12:54:57.377-04:00"indeed a puzzle, but unlike most puzzles, th..."indeed a puzzle, but unlike most puzzles, this one looks just as good lying in pieces on the floor" - nicely put!!! Not that it really matters but I'm kinda in that camp that thinks everything before she wakes up in her apartment (the first 3/4 roughly of the movie)is all a dream.

I need to give this one another watch because even though I didn't love it the first time around, I still feel like I was bit too distracted to fully gather it all in. What I do remember is probably one of the best jump-scares of all-time.

I'd still love this movie!<br /><br />And yes, Lynch definitely lucked out. Watts' performance was both gutsy and impressive.<br /><br />Thanks for the comment!DVD Infatuationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02986606131886453883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1003345269984484749.post-81382367743135861052012-06-25T09:22:46.587-04:002012-06-25T09:22:46.587-04:00I agree completely. There may be clues, and there ...I agree completely. There may be clues, and there may not be, but that's not the point. I have my explanation of how it all fits together, but that's not the point either. A masterpiece.<br /><br />And I have to mention that if, as he says, David Lynch cast Naomi Watts based on seeing her photograph, he lucked out and then some. What a performance (all three of them :-) ).Anthony Lee Collinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04220568709463059291noreply@blogger.com
