Note the actress's wonderful undisturbed sincerity with hands clasped and a genuine smile. She is not trying to look disturbed. This is what makes it genius.
Also her deformed face could be symbolic of the morbid beauty that is escape by death. The result is a bliss life full of no worries but along with that bliss comes a disturbing reality that it’s of course the horror of death. Such a good movie.
I'm convinced Lynch's influence for this was the footage of Marilyn Monroe singing happy birthday Mr President. Visually very similar and the same atmosphere of sweet and macabre.
The lady emerging from pitch black darkness was so horrifying, and then it leads to the only moment in the film in which I felt safe. Somewhat safe at least. What a movie!
Yes she enter in a unexpected way, in the actual horror movies the jump scares are no working for me, but I watched this movie yesterday and was so scared 😢 with this specific scene I jump in my bed
EXACTLY that -- and I figure one of these times I'm bound to get it. Though it's all in the NOT trying for me now -- I always feel I need to get my bearings back for at least a day, day and a half, lol!
Lady in the Radiator is his escape from his horrifyingly shitty life. Its where everything is fine and a qt lady is there to smile at him and comfort him.
She's an angel of death that seems welcoming, yet has grotesque/beautiful features. Making me think Henry sees death as beautiful while simultaneously horrifying..
the lady in the radiator is one of my absolute favorite characters ever. for some reason, i always got excited when she went on screen. there’s something beautiful about the joy she displays while being seen as so “ugly” or doing “scary” things. am i overthinking it? maybe a little.
There was a interview with Lynch where the interviewer shows him a photo of her and lynch says that she's beautiful and he asks why and he goes it's because she's happy. She's always smiling.
@@Sarahonwheels wow! i’ll have to look for that, but that’s a really nice way of viewing it, i think. beauty is more than just skin, or whatever. thanks for sharing!
0:12 The mixing in this movie is insane. The noises are so unnerving and seems to be present nearly non-stop and loud enough to be quite impossible for you to get used you to it. So little by little you starts to FEEL like Henry himself, you start to apprehend his constant feeling of stress, his constant impression of being hurt and tortured by the world around him, his constant impression of being out of synch with reality. Little by little you became Henry, what makes Henry afraid makes YOU afraid, what makes Henry uneasy makes YOU uneasy. Love (and hate) this movie !
When I saw the movie in a theater in my 20s, I found it so unsettling and depressing that I had to go home and listen to music by Bach to remind me that there was still beauty in the world.
What about to be genius here? Make something disgusting? Or try to absolutely find a meaning behind this because ot is a shame saying" I do not get it? "
One of the themes of this movie is the perils of modernization ("I've lived here since it was all pastures not the hellhole it is now") and how the people who help move society along suffer ("look at my knees") Anyway I came across an article lately about the radium girls. Look that shit up. Anyway I thoughts to myself "radium girls...girl in the radiator" perhaps her deformity is somehow related to that. Her fucked up face is the price of success, which Henry has never taste and thus sees her as an ideal to achieve.
I've never seen this movie, but I just saw Pantera and they used it as an opener before starting their set. Even then, just hearing the roar of the crowd around me while "Everything is fine in heaven" repeats itself was unsettling. But once that set started, it's almost like I forgot completely about it. But now it's an ear worm that I'll surely be thinking about for a long time.
I saw this on my seventeenth birthday in 1976 high on acid at a latenight show at the Roxie Theater in San Francisco. Earlier, I was at a Who/Grateful Dead show in Oakland. I caught BART to the city just in time for the film. I got stuck in the city and spent the night in an Embarcadero Center parking garage elevator. I remember being the only one in the theater laughing when Henry's head pops off.
I remember showing this movie to my friends in college... they didn’t fuckin talk to me after for like a week and legit said “Kris, you’re not allowed to choose the movie from now on...” Jokes on them though cuz they let me choose the movie again afterwards and I showed them Fear and Loathing and Enter The Void... haven’t heard from any of them since...
Eraserhead is scarier than all the scary movies I’ve ever watched. Horror without context is the best kind of horror, this movie leaves you in a totally desolate place where nothing makes sense and the atmosphere just fucks up all your senses, if hell exist this is probably what it feels like. I wish more horror directors would take cues from him.
Honestly, I think Inland Empire is a lot closer to what an actual nightmare looks like than this. At least with this, there is like a consistent throughline and continuity. Inland Empire is so immersive, yet so much sensory information is missing or fragmented. Trying to recall Inland Empire just off the top of your head is like trying to describe the dream you had last night. You have some of the pieces but a bunch of it is lost and you’re not quite sure how it all connects.
Same. That episode with Trent is something I often re-examine every so often. Each word he speaks is deliberate and so inspiring. Nothing wasted. He is so poignant and poetic, just naturally. And he really understands music better than any other artist I know. I could go on n on. I just wish I had a drop of his talent
The first time I watched this movie I was disassociating after a long day of work, and for some reason everything made sense. Watching it again when I'm grounded in reality, it simply isn't the same. I guess thay goes to show this movie makes more sense as a dream than reality
This scene freaked me out because i've always had a thing about old radiators from the 70's and 80's. Something about them disturbs me since I was a kid because how they look and how they just sit in a corner of a room.
probably because they're a big cold metallic block which looks out of place in an otherwise warm room. then when they heat up they make a big creaking or banging noise.
Somehow this remindes me allot of the old film of Marilyn Monroe singing "Happy Birthday Mister president", .. . sort of a creepy fucked up nightmarish version of it.
+Ian Finlay Your recollection is valid since Monroe sang it in 1962 and Eraserhead came out in '77. It could've easily been a haunting inspiration to throw people off.
david lynch is heavily influence by marilyn monroe and other blond actresses especially Hitchcock blondes. he often has blond female characters inspired by those actresses in his movies. one of the most notable example is laura palmer
I believe the movie was about all of his internal fears and paranoia coming to life- nuclear war, fatherhood, and feeling like an outsider in an already cold and isolating world. The Girl in the Radiator was his escape from it all, almost like an imaginary friend who resonated nothing but love, acceptance and joy. At the end of the movie, to me atleast, he didn’t seem scared while he was embracing her. He finally seemed at peace.
One of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard. I just happened to look up from watching Netflix on my iPad to see this part playing on Vice TV so I paused my Netflix and un muted my television, and she sang to me, her distorted face and the black and white matching perfectly with my blotchy old tv screen.
**In Heaven, everything is fine. In heaven, everything is fine. You got your good things and I've got mi-** **Heaven everything is fine, in heaven, everything is fine, you got your good things and I've go-** **THANK YOU FOR COMING TO MY BIRTHDAY PARTY, I AM ONE MINUTE OLD TODAY**
By shear luck or maybe curse,I was subjected to this film while experiencing delirium tremens. I dont know if there are words to describe how disturbing one or the other is,but in tandem I think the experience gave me a premature glimpse into hell.
I don't think it gave you a glimpse into physical hell, if you'll excuse my interjection. It probably gave you a glimpse into your psychological state.
I think that the "Lady in the Radiator" is a cloud from the place she is singing about: "Heaven." I believe her look may have been inspired by David Lynch seeing another "heavenly body," "the Man in the Moon," from Melies' 1902 film, "A Trip to the Moon."
A very popular theory is that everything in it is a horrific nightmare that Henry is experiencing due to the extreme anxiety and fear he feels over becoming a father against his wishes, thanks to a careless one night stand. I personally believe it because I've never seen a film that portrays a nightmare so accurately as this one; it truly feels like one of those messed up dreams that makes you wake up in a cold sweat. The creepy visuals, the feeling of being forever trapped in a disgusting parody of the real world, and how literally everything in it is immediately twisted to a dark and nauseating vision, even something that starts as innocently as being invited for dinner with a girlfriend's family. Like a real bad dream, it's a vicious world with no laws, logic or reason; everything can and will result in the worst possible outcome, and that's also why Henry doesn't react properly to the madness around him. Like most people who are having a nightmare, he's powerless to stop the horror festival in his sleeping mind and can only watch as it unfolds.
@@josron6088 Same! I love to read about different perspectives and points of view regarding films, especially ones that are completely open to interpretation like this one!

Lady in the Radiator is his escape from his horrifyingly shitty life. Its where everything is fine and a qt lady is there to smile at him and comfort him.
I would think its in his imagination. Big cheeks like a kid. I dont know if he feels this way but Henry really is just a big kid.
And even his escape from reality is horrifying...
