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.
