The real chaos is not the plot but the human heart

The sister of the legendary Inland Empire.
Yes, watching the Inland Empire, and then watching this film with still intricate plots, I feel less strenuous.

David Lynch deserves to be a master of bluffing the audience's psychology. At first glance at this film, the plot of the characters is "chaotic". You will think he is like a sketcher, just sketching the outline of the story on the paper and grabbing it into a ball. Then throw it to you: see for yourself!

The impatient audience got up early and walked away cursingly, what kind of chaotic logic and thinking!

The rest of the people are doing their utmost to analyze and think about things, nervous and full of joy, racking their brains to find clues and answers from the clues.

Finally, as the story develops, your patience has been rewarded, and your mood gradually becomes clear as the answer. You will find that all clues and plots of this seemingly absurd story are actually seamlessly connected. The real chaos is not the plot, but the human heart.

The difference between Lynch and general directors is that he plays psychology rather than plot. Of course, this is also the key to this film becoming a classic instead of rubbish.

    10/10. ①Although the narrative of the movie is obscure, the story logic is rigorous and closed, which makes the heroine's character image very clear and three-dimensional, thus making the fit point between content and form extremely clear. ②Slow and restrained narrative/editing/performance rhythm, fixed or slow movement of the camera, obscure stories and dream streams of consciousness, eerie and mysterious clips (such as the multi-person dance at the beginning, the dirty-faced beggar, the strangeness of the two old men) Laughter, the weirdness of the magic club, the superimposed transitions and fading of all kinds of ghosts) are very suitable for the psychological state of the heroine of the film "suppressed chaos". ③ Create the texture of the dream world with soft light.
