Man, your videos are that perfect blend of analysis and creativity, taking a complex subject like Lost Highway and presenting your thoughts cleverly and clearly. I’m never happier than when I see a new Corn Pone Flicks video is out. Fantastic stuff.
Well, as new as a two-and-a-half year old video can be. It's not especially different from the old version aside from the picture size.
@@Corn_Pone_Flicks New to me, and that's what counts!
Solid analysis of my favorite Lynch movie.
Throughly enjoy your videos have watched your Twin Peaks episodes way to many times lol.
My introduction to David Lynch. Though I'm a big Peaks fan, I was a little too young when it aired for the first time.
Lost Highway I saw in the theater and loved it. I think, I even had the soundtrack-CD before I saw the film, thanks to an interview with David Lynch in Rolling Stone.
Alas, Jack Nance's last film, unfortunately. R. I. P.
Thank you for this review!
Lost Highway has always been close to my heart . Welldone.
this channel is making David Lynch so much more enjoyable for me. As Kyle McLachlan said “David Lynch’s films are meant to be felt, not understood”
One of your best, Mr Pone. I saw this twice in-theatre when it was run in '97.
Both times were in Orinda CA's little old 1940s cinema - low ceilings, only 30-40 luxurious seats - red velvet curtains, carpeting and wood everything; all very Mediterranean.
Possibly the best memory I have of being in a genuine cinema - experiencing something that you really can't get in any other way.
Loved the scene in the prison with Henry Rollins.
"That wife-killer isn't looking too good"
"Which one?"
Mwahahahaha!
I just showed my bf this movie the other day and followed it with this analysis. We both loved it and you are a gift. Crazy that this remaster is happening at this moment for me lol
I always thought the pale guy at the party was Lynch tipping the hat to The Seventh Seal. For my money he resembles Death from that film. "I'm at your house right now" "I don't go where I'm not invited"
Brilliant opening ahahhahaha! And of course great investigation into depth of meanings of the film. Thank you very much as always. Two shadows, Bowie song and possibly electrical chair ending are beautiful findings. Bless your mind!
Just finished watching all your Lynch videos. Great stuff. Keep up the great work.
The mystery man has to be Death, right? He's friends with Larond but then he comes for Larond, he's friends with Fred but then comes for Fred. It's something he can't avoid no matter how much he lies to others or himself. Not to mention he appears to be a visual reference to Death from The Seventh Seal.
I watched the original upload last week! Great job, man. It really looks great, better than most other RUclips reviewers/commentators.
I'm going to watch this film just so I can watch these reviews
Bobo Ayame watch all Lynch.
Beautifully done
Liked and updated my notifications to all because... no notification. This video is the news I need.
Countless times I find my mind coming back over and over for some damn fine fun xxx
I wanted more and you gave it
Well, it's only really more if you never saw the old version.
Corn Pone Flicks yes it was a strange feeling watching thinking I’ve seen this before but yes do more Lynch for us all please
Have you evere noticed the artwork on the wall in the living room behind Renee when they are watching the video? Look very closely. It's cut up body parts in a collage.
Jami many years ago I noticed that too vhs wasn’t brilliant quality but safe to say that vhs was worn out over the years🔥🔥🔥
Very relevant analysis as usual.
At the end, Fred is morphing, as shown in the car. Realities, characters whatever. The crime scene at the end is a work of this blended reality. Once again Fred is re-imagining everything, trying make sense of it all. Trying to make it linear, but it doesn't make much sense to the viewers because it shouldn't. In my humble opinion.
Just found and binged your channel, great work man, it's hard to strike the balance with comedy in analysis/reviews,but you pull it off great.
P.S for some reason you also remind me of a SuperBunnyhop but with Movies.
I don't know the reference, so I can't say if that's a good thing or not.
@@Corn_Pone_Flicks it's a great thing :) Sorry if I didn't make that more obvious,I meant he reminded of you in the way he structures his reviews and analysis, and the amount of comedy in each.
I love this video so much, I think I’ve watched the original a hundred times. I know you’re not doing Mulholland drive bc you covered it in the twin peaks we live inside a dream video but a girl can…dream ✨
I may do Inland Empire someday, but it will likely be a while.
Corn Pone Flicks I’ll wait patiently
@@Corn_Pone_FlicksPlease do. I just watched Inland Empire with my mom last night. Normally i can kinda decipher Lynch's work, atleast enough to get some footing but uh...I think i might need some help on this one.
@@Corn_Pone_Flicks how much longer?
love ur analyses (is that plural?) of anything Lynch. that said, i always thought this was one of his easier movies to follow
I believe the mystery man repersents pistol, the murder weapon. The give away is in the scene that after Pete turning back to Fred. He found the mystery man sitting on the rear seat of the car where exactly the pistol was left. If one follows this logic. Now, the scene of Fred first meeting him at party makes sense. The mystery man told him they met before, reveals Fred had the pistol prepared. He had probably planned to murder his wife and Dick Laurent all along. Then the mystery man told him he is at his home right now. It literally means the pistol was stocked somewhere in his house at the moment. Afterwards, Fred asked Andy who is that man in black. He was relied that he is a friend of Mr. Laurent. Later, we learnt from the scene with Dick Laurent talking Pete on phone while the mystery man sitting beside him. They two ( Dick and his pistol) indeed are always together. They are like "friends". Remember, after Fred dragged Dick to the car, the mystery man glancing through windows? It is Dick Laurent had left his pistol in the room for he got caught off guard. In short, the mystery man is created by Fred to seprate giult from his consciousness. By doing so, he tries to convince himslef the pistol made him committed such crimes. Yet, through the whole movie we have witnessed how Fred failed spectacularly.
Mate, I think you really nailed it! Although I still don't quite understand the connection between Fred and Pete?
How is a gun the murder weapon when Renee's body is in pieces, like the victim of a chainsaw murder?
@@Corn_Pone_Flicks Well, we have never learnt any autopsy reports from the movie, haven't we? One could assume she was shot and killed first, later butchered. Same applies to the killing of Dick Laurent. Fred slit his throat before fired sevral shots. What are the murder weapons at this particular scene? The knife and pistol both involved.
We COULD assume that, but we could also assume she was poisoned. What reason do we have to assume the manner of death at all? The only clue we have is Fred's "dream," where it appears that he physically attacks her.
Alice’s murder weapon was not a pistol, there’s zero evidence for that. The video tape represents the objective truth, what really happened, and it’s clear to see Fred lost control and brutally attacked Alice and ended up dismembering her. There was no gun involved in that murder in the first place
I've watched this twice as many times as the actual movie now 😂
Super funny and cool.
The Mystery Man is RAGE. A friend to Durant as well. Car scene shows that.
Interesting thought. Could be.
This will always be my favorite Lynch film.
Hey, Doc! How's Michael these days?
Very clever!🤟🤟🤟💥
My question is: Fred killed Dick Laurent and Renee in real life. But did he also kill Andy in real life?
Not sure, but it seems quite possible.
No, Pete only ever existed in Fred's dellusion; the cops investigating the scene actually happened becaus this is the REAL memory incorporated into his derangement; towards the end the dellusion begins to merge with true events as his dream fails and his true memory wins.
How does Fred have any memory of an event where he was not present? That would also have to be a complete delusion.
@@Corn_Pone_Flicks Because none of it happened that way, like he said, "I like to remember things my own way." -- remember? Nothing that happens in the movie happened the way it really did, get it? He killed his wife, got put on death row, subsequently died on death row, except his dellusion tried to escape...
That does not answer the question. You do not have memories, real or inaccurate, of events you did not experience at all. Fred thinking he just found his wife dead when he actually did the killing is a false memory. Fred thinking that a bunch of detectives are milling around Andy's place and discussing certain topics and possibilities while he's in the belief that he's somewhere else is more akin to a dream. We all have memories that are wrong to varying degrees, but nobody has memories of things they never experienced. It doesn't feel like it fits the pattern.
Also, it's "delusion."
@@Corn_Pone_FlicksI think Lynch confuses you more than others, if you're nitpicking this much about others' experience. You're basically telling people "you don't get Lynch" which doesn't help. I understand this movie in my own way, your confusion doesn't in any way affect that. Plus, you seem to have completely missed my point, seeing how you keep repeating it back to me (you don't seem to click on the fact that we actually agree, in some form, which is the best you'd ever get from two separate opinions on Lynch).
Well,
Obviously!
Lost Highway is superb)
I have seen your all your Lynch stuff and about half of your non-Lynch CPF reviews. Which of your videos would you recommend to broaden my horizons further? Also, I thought your were already done with Twin Peaks, but I certainly would never complain about another one.
I don't know which ones you've seen and don't know where your interests lie, so I can't really say. Just pick one that looks interesting to you. It's not like I've really got that many up as of now, anyway.
And I never said I was through with Twin Peaks. I just had some other things to do that took precedent.
@@Corn_Pone_Flicks Just keep creating making videos about what interests you and I will check it out. Thanks for the reply.
Just got the soundtrack to this on vinyl today when I went out shopping for records with my daughter and am very happy, it will go with my twin peaks soundtrack.
Lost me before the analysis. Corny asf
Just say "as fuck." Don't puss out.
