Some people just want to watch the world burn.
My favourite part is when Kramer comes through the door.
I couldn't believe what he said about those brown bunnies though :-O
the machine is bleeding to death kramer
“What’s going on in there Kramer”
“Rabbits Jerry”
@@KarlVeiga 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Suddenly, Jerry wishes it was poor Mr. Marbles menacing him again.......
Lynch should have directed Cats
And done it flawlessly
If I was rich I would personally finance this idea
Keep poor David far away from that trash...
Nah i prefer him working on Ronnie Rocket.
Hollywood doesn’t have the balls. Very sad.
Crazy that David Lynch was able to get real footage of what rabbits really do when we’re not looking.
I would love to see David Lynch write and direct a video game. It could be something simple like a point-and-click. Something about these sets that makes me want to explore them in detail.
Look up Lynch's idea for "Woodcutters from fiery ships".
check out the rusty lake video games. they are weird and wonderful and lynchian
Iridescent Jen ive straight up played that whole series at least 20 times i cant recommend it enough
Look up Deadly Premonition. Never played it myself but from what I hear, it’s heavily influenced by Twin Peaks.
David Lynch in his life had explored every arts type (painting, cinema, teathre, music, shortcut and now RUclips's videos) except this one. I hope that one day he will do also video-games
Can't remember how many times I've seen this series. Jake standing at the door and waiting for the applause to stop each time is some of the funniest shitting on a trope I've seen.
Brilliant! ROFL I have absolutely no idea what you just said...
@@quincycampbell9828 he's laughing at the laughtrack mockery, what's not to understand?
@@almond3066 He's doing the Simpsons gag about Twin peaks.
@harvardsmithdeangelo6905 what
“There have been no calls today” had me dying😂😂😂😂
This is probably the most accurate depiction of nightmares.
That’s the genius of David Lynch. Check out Inland Empire, I personally believe THAT film is definitely the most genuine and accurate portrayal of a nightmare. I’ve never been scared by Laura Dern, then I saw that film.
@@BCS1105 I do not find Laura Dern scary, in Inland Empire. I think she is sexy! I do not find her so, in Blue Velvet, or Wild At Heart, but in Inland Empire I do. She is simply superb, I think. Her best ever performance, I would argue, and Lynch's finest film, by far. 👏
For me, it's Eraserhead .
Christopher Brookfield So you are telling me that the scene of her running towards the camera isn’t scary? How about the phantom’s face?
This would be one of my better dreams. Every night I am back on patrol. Every night I fight for my life.
This is still to this day the scariest thing I have ever seen. Lynch understands true horror.
The scary horror aspect of this video is completely lost on me
They look creepy and there are disturbing sounds and laughter, ffs.
@@marissas7282 nah I agree with him. Personally, the thing that terrifies me most is my own subconscious mind, the kind of fear you feel in dreams is a special kind of fear, and lynch captures it perfectly, better than any other filmmaker Im aware of.
Yeah
Yeah
Fans have been waiting for a sequel for 18 years...
The best sitcom ever
Inland Empire is the sequel. Sort of.
Coincidentally, I had a pet rabbit when i was a kid. It was called "This is the water, and this is the well. Drink full, and descend. The horse is the white of the eyes, and dark within." Quite a mouthful, but she was a good rabbit.
He is at least civil and hasn't demonstrated any display of petty childishness.
@@mrrogers88 These are the limitations of your life, Fred.
this is the most David Lynch name a rabbit can ever hope for
@@punkfacexo6066 I've got a new rabbit called "Nic Cage's jacket in Wild At Heart"

I've watched this short film an unhealthy amount of times.
Sssaaaammmmmeeee really got me into his other works but also lost media in a way since this was only obtainable through the rare and very expensive lime box.
Derek Escalante same here, well done! :D ❤️

You mean you've watched it?!
@@Paul47Tat many times
This is so scary. As soon as Jack finished saying "It is the rain" it started raining where I am...
same here wtf
😮!
How I make sense of this show is that David Lynch is capitalizing on the fear and anxiety that arises from the lack of predictability. Every dialogue is out of sequence and the laugh tracks also cannot be determined after each dialogue is spoken. Even though each scene looks like the characters are conversing about a common topic (the head tilts etc) they are not on the same page. Different pages of the same book perhaps. This lack of coherent meaning is what makes it so gripping to watch. We as the viewers are tempted to make meaning out of their on-screen misery.
"We as the viewers are tempted to make meaning"
thank you for this conclusion
cringe
I'm watching this on my phone...please forgive me, David.
So am I lmao
It's such a sadness...
We are all such tragedies
You will never, in a trillion years...
All of you need to get real!
Still funnier than Big Bang Theory
This laugh track feels earned.
Well, anything is :D
The Hours is funnier than Big Bang Theory.
A Serbian film is funnier than tbbt
"Funnier" I don't know, but far better entertainment, big bang is garbage TV in my opinion. Laugh-track schlock
I once had a really weird dream (I won't go into details). It was really vivid, so I remember how it felt afterward when I was in the dream. And strangely enough, it felt incredibly similar or possibly the same as this. David Lynch clearly knows a thing or two about dreams and surrealism.
Do you mind going into detail?
EXACTLY.
Elaborate on that
I am thankful to have seen this.
There are queues out of nowhere, questions left unanswered, and a general lack of communication.
This feeling is relatable.
The new season of Beaststars looks great, Lynch was the right choice for directing
all of David's activity on the internet really inspired me to become the best version of myself lately
Honestly, me as well!
Same

cursed comment
This has always been my favorite David Lynch project. I know it's super weird and other people might think it's just too strange, but I find it hypnotic.
In my opinion, no other artist has ever been able to capture the surreal landscape of dreams and nightmares the way Lynch does, and Rabbits captures that uneasy sensation of not being in control of your own consciousness.
Rabbits, to me anyway, reveals that there is something lurking inside our subconsciousness that we can just barely control from getting loose and wreaking havoc, but also that we are not really in control of reality either, that all of our interactions and relationships and desires and questions are somehow always missing the point of what it means to exist in the vast universe.
I always felt that this is Lynch's thesis on how our lives are sort of like a cosmic gag reel, that what we think is important and secure is laughable in comparison to the vastness of the universe. Yet the very fact that there is an audience laughing at the insanity of our lives - of the rabbits' lives - means that there is some sort of order and empathy in the universe, it's just that we're not able to fully understand what that it.
Anyway, it's my two-cents. I'm sure some people will think it's all nonsense, and that's cool too, I just really love his Rabbits series.
Excellent analysis and comments!
Slowlander I’m the same: utterly hypnotic
I love your description and viewpoint
That was deeeeep
should check out David Firth's stuff on RUclips. A Black and White Cartoon about Roof Tiling
That's what Easter bunnies do for the rest of the year.
Fascinating
@@MrStrafanici indeed
109 yes 100 my cat have a nice bunny 🐰 legs yes I am listen this video doing yoga Monday wow 919 my time
9:45 The way he says "Were you blonde??...Suzie?" is just perfect...I don't even know why
> It was a man in a green suit
"My name is Dougie."
Also Piotrek in Inland Empire!
This is definitely referring to Piotrek
Bartholomew Esperanza In IE, Piotrek wears a green coat during at least one scene
Bartholomew Esperanza
Idk..... I feel like season 3 of Twin Peaks tied some David Lynch movies together.
There’s a hint of Mulholland Drive (the giant/fireman’s house being Club Silencio) and some possible connections to Twin Peaks in Lost Highway.
Also in the longer version of Rabbits, each one has their own segment where they recite some kind of poetry. Some of the lines are “hot electricity” (Judy’s influence) and “dark, smiling teeth” (Laura’s smile when Sarah opens her face)
The only thing certain is that there is no certainty! Haha
TheMonsterGroovy I have heard that TP, mulholland drive and IE all take place in the same universe so it definitely is possible (it’s Lynch so I suppose almost anything is)
If only I could replace the MCU with the DLCU.... the world would be that much better
I've enjoyed trying to rewrite these scenes into somewhat coherent sitcom scripts:
Jake comes home and asks:
Jake - Where there any calls?
Suzie - There have been no calls today.
Jake - I have a secret.
Jane - Are you going to tell?
Jake - Let me tell you.
Suzie - Do not forget that today is Friday. (LAUGH TRACK)
Jane - I almost forgot!
Jake - I almost forgot. (LAUGH TRACK)
Suzie - When will you tell it?
Jake - I’ll bet you are both wondering.
Suzie - (laughs)
Jane - I’m going to find out one day. (LAUGH TRACK)
Steps are heard in the distance.
Jake - I hear someone.
Jane - I could hear it also.
Suzie - It must be the rain.
Jane - What time is it?
Jake - It must be after 7pm
Suzie - It is 11:15pm, it is dark outside
Jake - It may even be later.
Jane - It is still raining.
Jake - It is the rain.
Steps are heard closer.
Suzie - I do not think it is the rain.
(LAUGH TRACK)
Jake - Quiet!
Jake checks the corridor.
Jake - It was a man in a green suit. (LAUGH TRACK)
Suzie - He goes to work each morning, and comes back home each night.
Jane - All day. (LAUGH TRACK)
Jake - Where was I?
Jane - I only wish that they would go somewhere
Jake - We are not going anywhere.
Suzie - I’d heard those things being said before.
Jake - A coincidence.
(LAUGH TRACK)
Jane - There is something that I would like to say to you, Suzie.
Suzie - I’ve misplaced it. I’m sure of it now.
Jake - I knew that was what happened each time I thought about it. (LAUGH TRACK)
Suzie - I’m going to get them.
Suzie turns into Pazuzu.
Jake - Where you blond? (LAUGH TRACK)
Jane - I was wondering when Suzie was going to do that. (LAUGH TRACK)
Jake - It may have been a coincidence.
(LAUGH TRACK)
Suzie - Why?
Jake - I am not sure.
(LAUGH TRACK)
Jane - It did not happen that way.
Jake - When it happens you will know it. (LAUGH TRACK)
Suzie - There was a call for you earlier in the day.
Jake - Who was it?
Suzie - Where was it? (LAUGH TRACK)
Jake - Suzie?
Suzie - Oh! (LAUGH TRACK)
Does David Lynch just have super vivid dream recall?
Thanks for your work

@@the_enemee Lynch claims that he doesn't remember his dreams, he just likes employing dream logic in his work.
Dan Ebeling he uses lots of meditation before shooting. So you could say he employs dream-like stream of thoughts techniques...
Season 4 of Twin Peaks looks really great

Have u met Judy.. I don't think u have or u wud know!!
This is some damned good coffee.
Brilliant incoherence. I'm particularly fond of the shadows in this one.
For me is a clear criticism of modern tv and how it can alienate us, not incoherence
@@MagneticDonut It is incoherence which the viewer makes coherent, and that's the beauty of it
@@TheCosmicSound1 I see coherence throughout the film. I recognize a family, a father figure, an apartment, words and bits of conversations, laughter, anthropomorphic rabbits and a morbid setting. And unless you are a martian you do too. I think Lynch is much deeper than just subjective nonsense.
@@TheCosmicSound1 Yes, in the instance of Rabbits that is very true. Most of Lynch's films however do have a base plotline that is further built on throughout.
Lynch is one of the few people who can do that and marry it to a 'subjective incoherence' view and have it work so well.
The shadows make it look like there are more rabbits in the room than are visible
okay i always noticed that too, but i think it’s probably just multiple light sources
@@jonahclark859
Thats how you manipulate shadows pal
@@kf9926 yes i know this pal, i was telling them
@@jonahclark859
They were making an observation you offered 3rd grade information for no reason
i believe it’s too convey either the studio audience or it’s to show that these people (or rabbits) are actors who have other lives, but in this monotonous world of television, real life is only in the background.
Inducing existential dread has never been so relaxing.
I like how it exhibits how inappropriate canned laugh tracks are on sitcoms in order to manipulate the audiences emotions and teach them how to react. I noticed that in Natural Born Killers too during the I love Mallory sequence designed like I love Lucy with audience laughter but it dealt with incest and completely inappropriate material to be humorous normally. That whole movie parodied media though the news as well and their sensationalism. I don't laugh along with sitcoms usually either though they are like clowns insisting you laugh at a joke you don't think funny.
You are wrong about laughtracks. In the US, sitcoms are typically recorded in front of a live audience, much like game or talk shows. This helps the writers and producers to know instantly what works best. But when that isn't possible or when the audience ruins otherwise good takes, they used a laughtrack instead to keep it consistent, especially of course for all translated versions (I am from germany and we dub everyhing professionally)
You might be right that there is a downside to laugh tracks, yet I found myself laughing at this in part because of the laugh track. In part because the laughter seemed so inappropriate.
As someone who's experienced derealisation/depersonalisation disorder, the feeling of this film feels very familiar
And what would be this feeling?
Are you doing better now?
They're having a conversation, but they're not talking to eachother.
they are, but with a time-slip
It's more like three different conversations.
They are on the phone with airpods in
Because its 3 different TV Shows playing on 3 Different TV Sets
I think it's more like the conversation is out of order
All those years ago... this was the first work of David Lynch I ever saw. Hooked me for life.
Good old David reviving my childhood trauma
When I was a kid I imagined this rabbit like monster who would just pop up when no one else was around. Like the characters here he was a rabbit who stood on two feet and was about my height. It was years later after I had grown up that I realized he had originated in my imagination because of the little rabbit like character on Captain Kangaroo, this little rabbit, while seemingly harmless, would startle the Captain by just suddenly popping up. To a kid, this popping up out of nowhere was actually quite scary.
I love the ambient sounds and music in the background. I wish I could hear that by itself. I feel like I could fall asleep listening to it and dream of such wondrous and unsettling things.
Love that you described the unsettling being wondrous ❤
David is great at creating those atmosphere with his sound design. He’s a huge influence on my sound design.
"Here in LA... torrential downpour, angry neighbors all the way..."
One of my favorite shorts. Thank you for sharing this with the world!
Inland Empire, that includes Rabbit segments, is my favorite movie all time (together with Eyes Wide Shut).
I've been wanting to watch Inland Empire for forever but it's not streaming anywhere.
@@vladimirhorowitz Best to hope it gets a Blu Ray remaster. Those early digital cameras were pretty bad.
@@Dr.JeremyDunks Inland empire was super under rated, but yeah those cameras weren't it
It’s a great film. I love all of Lynch’s work. Eyes Wide Shut is 1 of my favourite films of all time too. And, Both Lynch & Kubrick are my favourite filmmakers.

It works, when my brother and I were kids, we had a stereo connected to our vcr. The advantage of this for us, was that you could tune the VCR to one channel for audio, mute the tv, and have video from another channel.
Some of the shows were ridiculous.
I guess it's no surprise I liked David Lynch when I grew up.
Oh boy a comment I haven't seen littered on every video on RUclips how original
@@greatcoldemptiness you sound fun
The sound design gets me every time with Badalementi's music and what sounds like sounds from Eraserhead. It pulls me into a dream state world of his making. Thank you, David
"Life is first boredom, then fear" (Philip Larkin)
This is like a film that has been reduced to just pure atmosphere. So little of it "makes sense", yet every single line, noise, laugh and scare are profoundly unsetling beyond belief. My favorite Short film for sure.
This has probably already been theorized, but I wrote down what the rabbits have said 5 minutes in and I think they’re having either a conversation out of order, or the “benign speak” like “were there any calls” is used to throw off the scent of the more ominous conversation that they are really having.
Suit Rabbit: I have a secret
Female Rabbit: When will you tell it?
Suit Rabbit: I am not sure
Female Rabbit: I am going to find out some day
I think Lynch gave the actors their dialog and said to say their dialog in a random order. Really makes for a haunting experience.
that's what i figured when i was about half way in
A master piece of our talented and unique David Lynch. Thank you for this new version. 🖤
I feel like I project my grandmother's house when I grew up onto this film's set, and it wouldn't suprise me if other people do that with some place from their past.
I think the creepiness of this short and the other episodes is like an iceberg
The tip of the iceberg: The unsettling music, the stormy weather
Just below the surface: The weird lighting that casts huge shadows onto the walls, the weird dialogue that almost sounds like a coherent conversation, but isn't
Going Deeper: The arch at the back of the room, even after rewatching it I still feel like someone or something is going to appear from it
Near the Bottom: The laugh track in general, but especially the fact that it's infrequent enough that you have enough time to forget about it, so it always surprises you when you hear it
The Bottom: The way at the edge of the screen the wall moves outwards, it creates the impression that the room is part of something much larger that we cannot see
There's probably things that I haven't noticed, but this is the way I see it
I think the conversation is actually 3 (maybe more) coherent conversations mixed up.
1. "I have a secret" "would you like to hear it?"
2. "What time is it?" "It must be at least seven" "it's 11:30 and dark outside"
3. "Were there any calls today?" "There were no calls for you today" "There was a call for you today" and possibly "I must have forgotten"
Those were just a few groupings I felt were connected somehow. Trying to follow the threads (or deciding whether it's totally incoherent) and getting them mixed up felt dreamlike to me.
Thank you Mr Lynch for this short, and thank you for everything you've done for us, just thank you
I feel like the canned laughter is an indicator somehow to what’s really happening here.
One boring day at the office, I took the time to write all the Rabbits dialogues and put them in some order to understand the conversation. It reminded me of Sartre's "Closed Door" so I wanted to know what they did that made them trapped in that place. They all conspired to murder one of them out of jealousy, I think that's what I assumed happened. I don't remember it well. I love Lynch's works because they force me to think, they are great.
A GENUINE CLASSIQUE
Let's Rock
the sound design mixed with the dark lighting makes this feel super eerie. excellent work.
I'll never forget the first time I watched this. Such an unsettling short.
This short film is perfectly set.
The dialogues and production design is amazing.
The artwork fits David Lynch's philosophy of art and cinema.
The script is about the same story he narrated in "The Lost Highway", but in a new style.
Perfectly done!
Yes it has a warm comfortable livingroom, a lamp, yet still a little dark kind of like a neat old movie. Good work david.
I love love love love love these, that train-like sound always makes me so happy "yeah I´m watching Rabbits/Inland Empire great"
Now this is some arthouse, thanks, David
Imagine your own dream journal being a cluster of short films in perfect representation.
Great memories from the past. Thanks for bringing them back!
I was in a bar once and looked up and this was playing on the tv. For a moment I thought my Lynch obsession was mixing with intoxication to play tricks on me. But it was really there.
That’s tripped out! What are the chances of a Lynch film playing in a Bar?... Usually Bars only strictly play Sports channels, or Music Video channels. But never Movies, let alone a David Lynch movie, Lol... Props to the Bartender!
It wasn't even all of Inland Empire. Someone had just edited together a bunch of short "strange" clips, and a few episodes of Rabbits from the old davidlynch.com were in the mix. I even still have a pic of it playing in the bar because it was just such a strange thing to run across in the public (and because I wanted to make sure it really did happen when I sobered up. lol).
@@michelle_pgh Lol! That’s awesome! 😄
That sounds like the greatest bar ever
I've always hoped that this was David's pilot episode for a sitcom and we'd get a full season.
Love you so much David, you have blessed me with your art, and enriched my life. Thank you for that.
David lynch never ceases to astonish and amaze me, genius...make it tip toe around absurdly.... humanity feels things no artificial construct has capability to feel, thank you 🙏
I always find the use of fire in this piece uniquely disturbing; minute 10 might be one of the most terrifying things I have ever seen. I love Rabbits so much, everytime I watch it I get so many new things from it. This is the first time I have noticed the doubling of the shadow belonging to the rabbit in the pink robe. Interesting.
I wonder why that is, about the rabbit’s shadow, very cool!
I think the double shadow is just because she stands behind the table lamp casting a second shadow. The mom and dad are sitting besides the lamp so they also got a double shadow just one to the side u know
Wow, Lynch, wow!
So blessed that Mr. Lynch is posting on RUclips. What a treat.
This is the best quality ive seen it in. Thanks for uploading.
Could someone please tag me when there is closed captioning available for this video? Sincerely, a member of the Deaf community.
Unfortunately, he doesn't seem to accept captions from the community or I'd make one.

The room is very Hopperesque.
Don't ask me why, I watch this every easter day.
You're being so kind to us in our hour of need Mr Lynch! Have been rewatching Inland Empire and marvelling at the Esher-esque magic eye of it all, but also the truth and symbolic deepness. Those that don't get your work are missing out on pure magic. Writing an essay on your connections to Jung off the back of it x Bizou Agent Cole!
He took all the lines, shuffled them and gave it back to us
I watched this for first time last week. I had to watch again.
I love the mystery & atmosphere you can create , just with light & a sound, like the train whistle.. I sense trouble when I hear it? Why?
Somehow this entertains & weirds me out , that canned laughter like deja-vu.. That's what I like about many of your creations.
Those big Rabbit ears, the shadows were a play of their own! 🙂 I'm a Rabbit in Chinese Astrology & feel connected to them.
I will never really know what this is about , we draw our own conclusions. Are there other Rabbit episodes?
Today , the 1 with Suzie came out. I really enjoy them.
Thank you David, your mind must be an incredible place to be! 😘 🐱♏☯️🌌
Finally, a high quality cut of Rabbits! Many thanks, Mr. Lynch
loved this since the first time i saw it. thanks david
One of the most unsettling works in cinematic history.
Obra Prima !!!!
Mr. Lynch, sou seu maior admirador e apreciador de toda sua obra artística em todas as formas, principalmente Cinematográfica !
Sou de São Paulo - Brazil
Ainda me lembro muito bem da primeira vez que assisti Eraserhead e depois toda sua filmografia, impactante e surreal, assim como a obra de Salvador Dalí ou Edward Munch, também meus preferidos entre outros.
Descobri a pouco tempo seu canal do RUclips e parabéns pelo excelente conteúdo explorativo, artístico e documentarista ao que se propõe.
Aguardo novidades!!
David, thanks for this really awesome and exciting, incredible experimental short movie, I am fond of your art, waiting for smth new every day!)
I recall camping wild at sandwood bay near cape wrath Scot and the sound of the waves crashing made me feel the way this soundtrack makes me feel,very insignificant against a great power,no sleep
I find this short utterly fascinating. One of the most interesting aspects about it is what I found when researching into this series of shorts. Apparently, this series was used in psychological studies to test the effects of acetaminophen on having an existential crisis and the effects of surrealism. What was found was that test subjects were less susceptible to the either mental construct, meaning patients were at piece with life and the events of this film.
With that in mind I decided to do a little experiment. I took a Tylenol pill before watching this, waited 10 minutes, then watched it with my mom (who did not take a pill) so I could see the results and wether we had different perspectives on this short. We both decided to write a comment expressing our thoughts on Rabbits to see a difference in perspective.
So with that in mind here are my thoughts: what I find interesting about this film is that it seems to explore the idea of what a sit com would be like if Rabbits could walk and talk like humans, but still have mental and psychological capacity of Rabbits. I believe this is the case because of the disjointed way the characters speak and how they behave, which comes off to me as skittish and alert. Another narrative choice I found fascinating was the colors used in the room. The blue walls, the brown floor, the green lamp and red chair, almost like the colors were decided upon based on their relationship with nature, such as blue skies, brown dirt, green grass and red . . . Blood? Not sure abouf the red color but those natural colors felt very much like a deliberate choice to create an atmospere that was showcasing a boxed in, house-like version of a rabbit's natural habitat. Now I don't know much about rabbit relationships or psychology, so I'm just going off what's presented here, but I found the relationship of the three characters to be quite interesting. So we have one male and two females. The male seems to be the provider, the female on the couch the wife, and the female ironing the maid. The husband and wife rabbit both seem very distant in their relationship, based on how the husband sits a cushion away from his partner and how he keeps on getting alerted to someone outside, almost like he's intentionally avoiding her and has secret meetings with someone else. Then we have the maid who is very mysterious, mostly on the bases of summoning a demon in the household while holding up lights, which could imply the trama she felt when seeing an oncoming car come after and the sounds she heard, almost like she is bringing a mood of dispare into the house. At least we know that when all three are together they seem to be at piece.
I could go on, but I'll just summerize my thoughts by saying that this series of Rabbit films seems to be Lynch's interpretation of the day in a life of a rabbit unit, with the masking of a house and sit com style of storytelling to help bring us closer in to the perspective of these long eared creatures.
Side note: I wonder if Mr. Lynch has ever dissected a bunny.
Great insight and story.
I agree your comment and experiment were well thought out. Very intelligent if you ask me. Maybe the best interpretation I've read. Some also say they're in purgatory.
Maybe his fucking the maid
am I correct in saying this was in Inland Empire?
Bits of RABBITS were in INLAND EMPIRE, but there is a helluva lot more of RABBITS than is ever shown in INLAND EMPIRE.
He made a series of shorts like this one (also cut them together to a 40 minute film) in the early 00s. He then went on to film some more ideas that weren't related to it, but eventually had an idea that connected all of those with Rabbits, and that's how Inland Empire came to be. So yep, parts of this are in Inland Empire, but it was shot before that as an independent project and re-contexualized after the fact.
it was. but rabbits were made before the movie.
In the movie, I think that the costumes are slightly different.
It got used later in Inland Empire, because Lynch felt that the ideas connected and belonged together, but it wasn't made for that movie
(It was made about five years before the movie)
I tried watching this the other day! Great timing
This is my favorite David Lynch project.
This reminds me of being 19 years old in 2003 being a huge fan of David Lynch and planning my career as being inspired by him...
Same! I loved his works!
The Theater in the first few seconds seems to be the same as in the Fireman's castle
Jack, Jane, Suzie, etymologically interesting choices to sow into the plot.
What a deconstructed way to create a cryptic loop while still preserving the core message, per se.
“A lily or a rose never pretends, and its beauty is that it is what it is”
How does Lynch navigate his way inside your head like this? True genius, I love everything he's ever done, including Dune.
Rabbits! Thank you, sir.
After all these years this still creeps me out.
Finally i get to watch this i good quality, can't wait to watch the whole thing its one of my favorites.
Yes! Thanks David!
David lynch should do a Silent Hill Game
Silent Hill wouldn't exist without David Lynch
They already copied him so hard, he would make a really awful game just to troll them
@@TheJinzoSpoon nah,he would make a better job than konami did after game 4.
I think he should make his own game, something unique, not a sequel to a popular franchise. Something story-driven like Telltale games, maybe.
Silent Hill basically did a David Lynch Movie
I'm watching this on my phone for maximum effect 👀
On your FUCKING telephone?
@@hairyandlarge yep. Plus sized telephone too!
such a sadness!
@@hairyandlarge Just like Lynch would have wanted
Get real.
I don't always enjoy or find meaning in David Lynches work, but I never doubt it's art.
I love this music
This is what it would be like if we switched places with our pet rabbits, sitting in our cage watching the mundanities of everyday life.
We need David Lynch make a Silent Hill game with Hideo Kojima and Guillermo del Toro
So make a film then? Kojima games are barely games at this point (not speaking about quality here, of course).
Silent hill already has inspiration from david lynch work
❤️ I saw Inland Empire last week! I miss this crazy serie!
Can’t wait to watch! Hope you’re well David. See you in the field.
