It took him five years before and after to complete the film, and in the beginning he scoured the trash can for the film to make a living by sending the Wall Street Journal. In those five years, his wife divorced him, the original photographer was busy with other work, and these and other problems. Perhaps the starting point of every independent filmmaker is not simple, but Lynch has experienced many difficulties and efforts than others.
My keyword: disgusting! Nausea! Nausea! Black, dirty, deformed, perverted, chaotic, hopeless, yet symbolic, metaphorical, surreal, imaginative.

David Lynch must be the most pessimistic person in the world about marriage. It's a pity that his first wife died early and couldn't prove anything, but he actually showed marriage in life like this in the movie: a good person who can withstand temptation , had a girlfriend with tics, she had a mother who was also sick, the mother molested him on the first meeting, a weird father, who made chicken blood (pus and blood at all), a vegetative His grandmother, they gave birth to a deformed child after their marriage, and his wife ran away from home because he couldn't bear it. He finally dismembered his own flesh and blood, and then ascended to heaven, hugging the woman with a face full of pustules that he had always fantasized about.
