His works have always been controversial, but I believe that anyone who has seen them will remember his name: David Lynch.

After the broadcast, the two found out that someone secretly filmed their house.
Although it was suspicious, Rene thought it might be a real estate agent, so she didn't take it to heart.
But the next day, the mysterious video tape appeared again.
What's surprising is that this time, in addition to the images outside the house, there are also pictures of sneaking into their homes to shoot.
That is to say, the photographer had sneaked into their house.
Even more terrifying, the video ends with a scene from their bedroom.
Both of them panicked, and Rene immediately decided to call the police.

Video Analysis
This is the 199th suspense film I've shared, it's hard! Another Lynch's work, earlier than "Mulholland Drive", but the content is somewhat similar. It is filled with a lot of dreams and psychoanalysis. Although the main story seems to be very coherent, it is divided into several parts. , no better than Mulholland Drive. I watched it three times, and I have some understanding of the plot. I hope it will be helpful to friends who want to challenge this movie.
The film can be roughly divided into three parts, in a nutshell , "fred kills his wife", "peter kills Andy", "fred kills Dick Loren" , and as the audience we just need to distinguish which part is true Yes, which paragraph is fictitious. Personally, I think the first two paragraphs are fictional and the last paragraph is real.
Of course, what I'm talking about is true and fictional is the result of things like I think Fred didn't kill his wife, but a lot of things in the first paragraph are real, and in the same way I think Fred killed Dick Loren, But a lot of things in the third paragraph are imaginary, so let me explain them slowly.
I think the real story should be this: Fred is a saxophone player in a bar. He lives with his beloved wife Rene, but he can't satisfy Rene, and because of his own desire for control, he is afraid that his wife will cheat. But Rene still cheated, and the object of her cheating was Dick Loren, who specializes in porn, and Rene's previous boss. After Fred found out, he followed him to a hotel called "Lost Highway", where he killed Dick Loren and was eventually sentenced to death.
So why do I think he didn't kill Rene? There are so many points. First, the first time the image of him killing Lei Nei appeared in the videotape. Someone took the camera and captured the scene of him killing Lei Nei. This is obviously fictitious, because we can know from the context that the person with the camera took the picture. It's the mysterious man in black, and the man in black is Fred's own dark side, so it's impossible for him to use the camera to capture the scene of his murder.
The second is the police's attitude towards Fred. At around 48 minutes of the film, the two police officers used the word "wife murderer" when talking about Fred, and made a mocking laugh. When I watched it, I wondered what their mockery meant. I found out later that Fred was the only one who thought he killed Rene, and the attitude of the police was, is this guy sick? It is clear that his wife is alive and well, but every day he denies that he killed his wife.
The third is at the end of the film. After Fred killed Dick Loren, he went back to the answering machine in the family house and said to the people in the house that Dick Loren was dead, so if he did do this, the people in the house would The person can only be Rene, not himself as he imagined at the beginning, so I think Lynch is a mystery, and only one of Rene and Dick Loren must be killed (if the killing of his wife is true, then the end of the paragraph. It’s fake, at the beginning he fantasized about leaving a message for himself outside the house, if killing his wife is fake, then killing Dick Loren at the end is real, and the fantasy at the beginning is fake), otherwise the logic doesn’t work, so combined with the film, I’m more It's the truth that leans toward the end, and Fred only killed Dick Loren.
As for the part about killing Andy, I think most people can tell that it must be fictitious. It can even be said that the whole part is Fred's dream. This interpretation of the dream reminds me of "Mulholland Drive" ", it's really interesting, the human subconscious is really interesting. First of all, the main characters all appear in the dream, and each plays an important role.
Fred became Peter in a dream, and the saxophonist became a car mechanic. At the 72nd minute of the film, a saxophone was playing on the radio, and Peter turned it off irritably, indicating that he did not love himself subconsciously. Musicians this job. In the first episode, Fred and Rene have a sex scene, and it's clear that he's a little overwhelmed, and Rene has been comforting him, that's okay. We have already been told here that Fred is incompetent, but Peter in the dream is transformed, energetic, and kills two birds with one stone. It is the opposite of reality, from being cuckolded to being cuckolded, showing his mentality.
The Mercedes-Benz car chase scene in the dream is also very interesting. At first I didn't realize the significance of this scene. Later, I found that in addition to showing that Dick Loren had some fear of Fred in reality, the end of the film Fred was chased by a police car in a Mercedes-Benz, which just shows that the scene at the end really happened, and it just confirms the aforementioned conjecture that Fred really killed Dick Loren.
As for Andy's death, I think it reflects Fred's hatred of Andy in reality, and he really wanted Andy to die, because it was Andy who introduced René to Dick Loren, worked for him, and had A series of things happened after that. And when the police say there are Peter's fingerprints everywhere, we can be sure that this paragraph must have been imagined by Fred.
I have to marvel at Lynch's unrestrained imagination, especially the analysis of dreams and criminal psychology, which is almost perfectly expressed in film language. I haven't seen a lot of his works, such as "Mulholland Drive", "Blue Velvet", "Fighting in the Night" and so on, but each one makes me want to watch it again, even if there are many controversies, I I believe that as long as anyone who has seen his works is asked about brain-burning movies, this name will come to mind: David Lynch.
Not understanding this movie is as normal as you don't understand why a murderer kills, because the criminal's psychology may not even be able to decipher it himself.
