OJ Simpson
Whats so confusing? Dick Laurent is dead.
He was there the whole time.
Unironically LYNCHED. It's a bad dream Lynch had just like everything he makes.
Fugue state
This vid is 3 minutes and straight forward.

Basically a guy kills his wife. He either gets delusional or he enters in some kind of metaphysical limbo world based on his delusions. His fantasy world breaks down in the end.
>Unironically LYNCHED.
Siskel and Ebert literally never understood the film, seeing it as just random scenes. Both went to their grave LYNCHED.
Ebert (along with most of the public) shat all over Lost Highway and then gave endless praise to Mullholland Drive. Many such cases!
watch inland empire instead
Dude killed his wife
his subconscious mind tries to repair the damage while he's being fried in the electric chair
Mullholland Dr is the same premise but better executed
Blond killed Brunette (through a hit)
Blond commits suicide
In the split second after she pulled the trigger, before she completely dies, her mind creates a fantasy where she didn't kill her girlfriend
MD is more digestible even though it's essentially the same plot as LH. also had a little more going on, LH gets bogged down with the relationship drama in the middle
>while he's being fried in the electric chair
He gets fried only at the very end when he's spazzing out in the car.
>LH gets bogged down with the relationship drama in the middle
The whole middle of the film is effectivley just a bullshit fantasy. None of these characters are real. It's just him re-imaginging his wife being alvie but his life being cooler and his wife is sexier. He's some young kid not some old man and he has an affair with his wife. Then he knows deep down it's a lie though and that thought bubbles up and his fantasy world is destroyed.
it has a purpose, sure, but its just not that interesting to watch
It has Mr. Eddy who's amazing though. It's even better when you realize he's a complete fantasy character and is just what one guy thinks a mobster would be like.
No don’t
The first 45 mins of lost highway is SO DAMN GOOD
Pure distilled kino
op here
i feel bad for the main girl, she had to do so many disgusting scenes
tip: what happens to the protagonist in the last scene?
another tip: when does the protagonist first see that short spooky white man
She dreamt the whole thing before her neighbor woke her up near the end. The first shot of the movie is the camera going into a pillow, then the dream starts.
there's no answers to this film. look at the lengths people have to go to make sense of it for themselves
Funny how secrets travel
all lynch movies are garbage except elephant man
People have already said it but here's the summary:
>Lynch has admitted to being obsessed with the OJ case at the time and how someone's mind copes with doing something so horrible.
>Lynch also said he learned about the idea of a fugue state after making the film but that it is very much he was aiming at.
>Lynch refers to the first main character Fred as 'the' main character.
I think you can make a somewhat simple story out of these clues but there's obviously a lot of incongruous, unexplainable elements. I don't think it's like Mulholland Drive where you can actually make sense of a lot of the initially unexplainable elements. I first thought that the middle section about Pete was the 'real' part bookended by dream-like sequences but I now think that's not right.
>Lynch has admitted
>Lynch also said
>Lynch refers
It's great you have to look to ancillary material to make sense of a work, now that's the sign of an artist.
>>Lynch has admitted to being obsessed with the OJ case at the time and how someone's mind copes with doing something so horrible.
Lynch is actually quite naive. People like OJ are pure narcissists who lack empathy for others.
The point is BOOBA
I start to believe
I don't think you necessarily have to. I'm just a brainlet.
Don't try to analize Lynch's works, they are something to be experienced because his films try to approach and simulate oneiric situations, most of his works tend to have simple stories told in a very dreamlike way making them more complicated to piece together on your first watch.
