    Excellent video! Love David Lynch and all his work, I believe the best part of experiencing is work is what it leaves you with. You’re stunned and confused, but you’ve felt and experienced something. It wants you to find your own meaning.

    He's being weird as a way of tapping into the subconscious and creating an unsettling mood with pictures and sounds. All his movies have a coherent but unconventional storyline.
    As filmmakers, Crispin Glover and Harmony Korine are weird for weird's sake, not Lynch.

    Very interesting video. I love David Lynch so much. I just wish I could somehow spend a day living in his mind, see what makes him tick, his thought processes, how he sees the world.
    David Lynch is weird because he’s David Lynch.

    With Lynch's work, I've always somehow *felt* what he was trying to do and convey more than I logically understood it.

    I believe David's work is a reflection of his traumatized past...I mean when I watched his documentary called 'David Lynch the art life' it said it all to me.

    I think Lynch's films are only weird in the context of daytime thinking. They're dreamscapes, what we wander in while we sleep.

    A little disappointed you use begs the question that way. It's fine in informal speech i guess. I just shudder every time i hear it. In a perfect world eveyone would say prompts the question and save begs for a situation where one has included the conclusion in the proposition and has made it so that if you accept the question you've already conceded the conclusion to be correct. Minor quibble and most people would say wtf thats dumb anyway so whatever.

    I didn’t see Mulholland Drive for about 20 years, and the only two scenes that I could truly remember and that I would tell everybody about whenever I thought of David Lynch was specifically the winky diner scene, which I thought, for some reason was in the back of a supermarket, but it wasn’t it was a diner. And the blue cube.
    I found those scenes to be so bizarre and unsettling. Just like you said. So it’s funny that those were the specific scenes that you showed. While seeing it for the first time, I was laughing at the strangest parts of that movie. Laughing when nobody else was laughing and I was told to be quiet, but it was just funniest to me. It wasn’t scary. It was hilarious, so I was one of those people for a long time thought just wanted to be weird. To me his movie is made zero sense and it wasn’t until somebody here on. RUclips made a really long drawn out four hour explanation that I actually understood what the fuck Mulholland about. Because seriously I had no clue. I sure as hell didn’t figure it out when I was 21 it made no sense. So yeah, I was just cracking up at the fact that you included that winky’s diner scene.
    And I can kind of understand him now, but I still think he tries to be weird just to be weird. At this point, I think he’s just embraced it and he likes the fact that he’s viewed that way. Because honestly at this point, it’s so self-aware that you have to realize he is being that way on purpose. Because he knows people like this about him and he knows this is what has made him successful. If not he would’ve made something else completely different that wouldn’t be strange. So i hope all of you understand that he is like this just to be that way. He has embraced this side of himself on purpose.
    In a way that’s what I like about him because he owned what people said about him. I think that’s amazing.

    So it makes sense now. Lynch's love for painting inspired him to become surrealist filmmaker.

    I found your essay on twitter. I really like your analyses particularly, of Eraserhead. Your insights are clear and help illuminate Lynch's work. My parents took me to see Eraserhead in the theater when it first came out. I was 10. And deeply troubled by it. Since then I have seen all of his works and love them all. Dune is the hardest for me "come to terms with." Inland Empire is brilliant and his (very) short with the Lumiere Bros camera is devastating. Bravo!

      @@RenegadeFilm86 you're welcome! Did you ever see this early film of his, which name now eludes me, in which a growing pile of dirt is on his kitchen table, and keeps getting bigger... It's in black and white... I remember an interview with him about it, and how he was making some weird looking stuff in a pot on the stove, which because of the black and white and the lighting, looked really gross, and strange, but turned out to only be something like broccoli soup or something! Iol...
