    I feel like the most striking thing about Lynch's work is that the typical reaction to his work reveals that most people _don't_ think of suburban americana as a surreal nightmare populated by awful people.
    They needed someone to come along and plant that idea in their heads.

      As an European who's never been to USA I can say that from my perspective suburban Americana seems sinister af. Not only Lynch but also Stephen King, Coen brothers and even the Grunge bands exploited their hellish second face. True Detective... the list goes on.

    • @djanitatiana
      @djanitatiana 4 года назад +8

      It’s worth noting that Lynch loves the suburban Americana, that is where he happily grew up as a young child. He introduces the dark to emphasize the light, by showing the threat and evil that exists anywhere he brings it into balance. Evil makes the good real.

    It's been a decades long journey, but recently... I am starting to think that Lynch, whom I've always appreciated... is actually my favorite film maker.
    I went on a Lynch bender in preparation for TP s3... and... even the films I rewatched for the umpteenth time, I still see new things, some new interpretation of a scene, or dialog, or even some symbolism.
    I love that it takes time to digest. I love that he invites me to try to interpret it and dissect it. I love that his work might actually get BETTER with repeat viewings. And strange though it is, his work always seems to speak to me on some kind of lizard brain level.
    It's taken me a long to realize it, but I think David Lynch is my favorite film maker. The moment of realization struck as the credits rolled on the infamous episode 8... Gotta Light?
    I had to pause. Sit in stillness for a moment. Breathe. Ponder what I just saw. Really it was a kind of meditation... And then I immediately rewatched it. After... it haunted me for days... and I do mean 'haunted'... it was disturbing. But, that reaction he can pull out of me in his film is why I love his work. It's not everyone's cup of tea, but... it works for me. Wow. (I might even call that the ballsiest hour ever aired on television... for the more cynical, you can watch that episode and say 'So THAT'S what they meant by creative control....')
    I'm not saying it's about that one episode, or that it is any better than some of his other best work... just that, watching it, sitting in stunned silence... just trying to parse it all... it hit me.
    Lynch is my favorite film maker. I actually feel kind of stupid for not realizing it sooner.

    One film that was strongly influenced by Lynch is _The Mystery of Rampo,_ a lush surrealist detective story from Japan. Very beautiful and lyrical, and strange in a way I can only call Lynchian. If you haven't seen it, you should definitely look it up.

    • @cadewarrencns
      @cadewarrencns 7 лет назад +19

      I'm a Kubrick and Lynch fanatic, for very very different reasons of course :). But whenever I see commentaries by Kubrick fans wondering "who will be the next Kubrick", it finally occurred to me some years back that it's Lynch, it's *always* been Lynch. For how different their work is (and especially how they treat actors!), I do think there is a remarkable common methodology to their work. Kubrick is to Photography as Lynch is to Painting. They also might be the two most important directors ever when it comes to sound design (again, in vastly different ways).
      It's a very, very good time to be a Lynch fan! And ScreenPrism's video here is one of the best brief analyses of Lynch's aesthetic out there.

      Aaron Warren When you say how they treat actors, I think Lynch is much better considering he always work with the same actors/actress in most of his works compared to Kubrick, who only work with an actor just once for a movie

    • @cadewarrencns
      @cadewarrencns 7 лет назад +13

      There's a major sense of loyalty and empathy that Lynch feels to actors, which Kubrick never had. It's one of the many humanistic things I respect about Lynch: Loyalty. Some folks tend to have very intense relationships that burn out quickly, and Kubrick - at least regarding actors - seems to have had that. I think Malcolm McDowell has basically said that and he was really upset that Kubrick essentially ghosted him. I'd be upset too.
      I was a Kubrick fanatic when I first got into cinema in my early twenties. I still adore Kubrick and his work, but increasingly with age, Lynch has owned my heart and unconsciousness in a way Kubrick never did for me.

    • @archaic9525
      @archaic9525 7 лет назад

      If you are sensitive to these a third 'competitor' is RW Fassbinder, who with a European touch delivers the same sense of 'art total' as Kubrick and Lynch do . He treated actors awfully, but nevertheless they craved participate and were recasted all along the way (a kind of 'synthesis' of Lynch and Kubrick's actors experiences combined)! With very different ways of course, he embraces all aspects of this wonderful art. That is my top three, crowning the whole history of cinema.

    I'm from the Philadelphia area and I can see where Lynch gets his inspiration from the city; it's steeped of a vast array of cultures, and art. There's a lot of beauty juxaposed with urban problems, especially back in the late 60s and the gritty 1970s. I'm proud that he sees my city this way, considering he's a genius artist and is from Montana (basically, the opposite of Philly). Yo, David... thanks, pal!

    It's just Six Men Getting Sick. The (Six Times) bit was added for the DVD presentation, because that's how many loops the "film" has on that format. The intention of Six Men Getting Sick was to have it projected onto a three-dimensional surface and have it continuously playing on a loop, so the "six times" thing wasn't really a consideration as it was being made.

    I knew about Lynch`s work when I was really young and someone made a joke about a blue box (which I thought it was referred to Dr.Who at the time) and a blue key. I was so intrigued about it and found out Mullholland Drive. I thought was disturbingly interesting and smart. Then I was scared of the first 15min of Eraserhead but I felt mesmerized and needed to finish it till the end. Then Blue Velvet which made me totally fall in love of the hole Lynchian experience.
    Id loved to see him talking with Dalí about trascendental meditation and surrealism.

    I love any author who appreciates the reality of fantasy and internal states in our lives, because it's something very important to me. And yeah, Lynch's works definitely have a strong sense of mood and dreaminess. When it comes to blending real life and fantasy, though, the first director I think of is Satoshi Kon (Perfect Blue, Millennium Actress, Paprika). Again, the point seems to be that our internal worlds are just as real to us as the external one. I looked up whether Lynch was an influence on Kon... but it doesn't seem so. Huh. Anyway, if you like movies that blend fantasy and reality, he's definitely one to look into.
