There are too many comments about this film, and there are a lot of detailed analysis. After I re-watched the film, it greatly helped me to supplement my understanding of the film. Before watching the second time, I listened carefully to the original soundtrack, and then I watched some of the highlights. Of course, I will watch Lynch’s interview again if possible. I worked so hard for a film, not why, but the film gave me too many hints and corresponding feelings.
The period when I dream the most is the year or so after graduating from university (probably because it is the nearest distance) in my memory. Life seems to be very peaceful, just like this dark and quiet road, but there are many hidden desires. , Fear and regret spread like a net in the dream. In the film, Diane turns herself into a healthy, intelligent, and talented strong man. In my dream, sometimes it is a successful person who is comfortable in life and love, and sometimes a loser who is abandoned or self-indulgent. It's just that it always accompanies the existence of the shadow of school life. Either exam failure, or forgetting of major events (such as graduation thesis defense) (the terrible thing is that everyone around me knows it, and in the end, only I know nothing), or the stern accusation from the tutor. In short, I attribute it to my studies. Failure and the disadvantages of interpersonal interactions. Although I graduated successfully, even though I met some interesting and rich people (different from most of the people around me), I gradually came into contact with certain fields that I hadn't been involved in before. But I have never occupied my mainstream life intentions and the value expectations of others. I can see from Diane the shadow of my own decadence, weakness, gloom, and failure. I can understand her final destruction quite well, and I am amazed by Lynch’s observations, The ability to think, organize, and express, I just want to know if Lynch has ever had such experience.
The theme song has a strong tragic meaning. Together with the cry of the female singer in the theater, it forms an unusually strong contrast with the very happy love tune of the opening and the two audition actors in the middle. Enhance the effect of tragedy and avoid single situation. The theme song is always the most memorable, such as Variations, which appear repeatedly in different narrative environments, especially when Diane first came to Los Angeles in the dream, it seems to herald the longing for her to finally turn into a dark house. The prelude to the carrion. Towards the end, the happy smiles of her and Camilla both projected on the night sky of Los Angeles. When the contrast between her unfortunate destruction and the attachment to happiness reached a climax, I was about to cry.
This film may affect my thinking and judgment for a long time. It is a story about night, horror, desire and hatred.
