The intention of the director of "Lost Highway" is obvious. The hero is a schizophrenic. The blonde is a virtual character. It is an existence entangled with all kinds of complicated feelings towards his wife. The little old man with a lot of powder on his face is the negative existence of darkness and hatred in human nature. Handsome guy-that car mechanic is the other side of the protagonist. In other words, to some extent, it is the look of the male protagonist. (In the film A, the young women who seduce the young women are all young repairmen, repairing water pipes and repairing water heaters...) The
real situation is relatively simple: the male protagonist finds that his wife is cheating outside, so he kills Ximenqing and Wangpo (the difference is, Wang The mother-in-law is his friend here-that mustache)! Turned around and chopped off his own wife. Then it may be the accumulation of long-term work pressure, plus the stimulation after being arrested, or it may be a congenital personality disorder. He was completely schizophrenic (there were signs of illness before, such as feeling confused in time and space, hallucinations in life). They are all on death row, and it is inevitable to think wildly. This exacerbated the condition. He virtualized another self and began to escape from reality! (That kid is pretty good, he can be released with a different face. Fingerprints, dentist records, physical signs, and blood types are not considered...) In fact, the real situation is that this man is still squatting in prison, but his The soul is out of the shell. Then another personality begins another life. "He" has his own memory, his parents, his own job, his own social circle, and his own horse. Of course, what he never forgets most is his original "horse". So another romantic encounter was created. Then he gradually added some fantasies about his wife to the woman. For example, be sexier and younger.
It is a pity that this man's personality split is not thorough enough. His other half squatted himself in prison, jumping out from time to time to torture him. Mr. Dick (the boss of the gangster) and Moustache gradually went into
the life of a repairman. His original simple and peaceful life slowly collapsed. This should be the idea of the hero in the subconscious mind. In real life, the killed Mr. Dick may be just a
Rich successful businessman. He is neither a gang leader nor a political figure. But since I want to kill you, I must give you a charge! The crime of seducing my wife is obviously not enough, so you must be a
bully! I killed you for the sake of heaven!
Another point is: I went on the road of crime because of my beauty. If it weren't for that woman, my life wouldn't be so bad. So the woman in the virtual world is a slut. At the end of the film, a plot of a blonde woman betraying the repairman was added. (I get your body, but not your heart) It is the wishful thinking of the musicians to vilify these two characters. Obviously this somewhat indecisive and contradictory man ignored his own reasons. There is a character in the film that is more interesting, that is, the little old man with a white face. As the "evil" in human nature, he is always interspersed between the two personalities. Although this old man is a fantasy character, he exists in the minds of the "two protagonists" at the same time. It can also be seen as a director's interpretation of human nature. No matter how many aspects of your personality exist, the "evil" in human nature is everywhere, and it's the same! So I personally think that among the reasons that prompt musicians to kill, there are certainly many objective factors and pressures. But we cannot ignore the decisive role of the dark side of his own personality.
Well, anyway, what this story wants to say is such a simple truth: pay attention to relieve the pressure in life! Pay attention to methods and methods to fight against the "evil forces" that rob your wife. Fighting wits and brave but not ruthless! Let us work together to create a harmonious life! (The last one is a joke I added myself) The plot is very simple, but it is not easy to dig out the depth. Director David obviously wants to reflect something deep in human nature through this film. For example, human cowardice: cowardly for evil, more cowardly for good. Musicians are not willing to sacrifice themselves and serve others-cowardly for good. Picking up to slaughter the adulterer and the adulterer, he hesitated for a long time, and still cried and cried--cowardly and cowardly. (Of course, I did it in the end. It means that when you have to show courage, it is easier for people to do bad things than to do good things.) There is also a human contradiction: after killing his wife, he does not want to face it, and always wants to escape. I love it in my heart, but I do something that I regret. It's better to destroy it when it's not available. The director brought out this atmosphere and themes through the unique lens movement, the color of the picture, and the soundtrack. Attentive audiences can understand.
it is good! Enter the last question-do you want to point out the ending! ?
The director's attitude is to let the doubt continue. In the final scene, the musician drives a galloping car on the endless highway, with a sirens behind him. The musicians continued to play the game of changing faces like a doctor avatar. The end of the film is back to the beginning of the film. The male protagonist did not get out of his virtual world. Many viewers were also led in a confused sense of direction, unable to get out of the director's ecstasy. Can't help but feel a bit pity. If David wanted to point it out, it might end up like this: the repairman shouldn’t rush to get rid of his moustache, knock out first. When he was about to take a long flight, the gang boss led his men suddenly appeared. (I've been waiting for you two a long time ago) Then the black boss took MM (preparing to go to SM) and handed the repairman to Mustache. Moustache must take revenge on the repairman when he wakes up. (That’s the problem, even if you shoot it off.) The repairman did it instead. The repairman turned into Rambo to kill the boss, and drove to track the boss and MM. After chasing the hut in the desert, the old man (the devil) and the black man appeared at the same time. After some fierce adventure and fighting, kill the boss! (Relying on the help of the white man, the black man miscalculated because he was betrayed by the white man) the white man laughed strangely, and then did some BT things. The repairman vomited and fled. . . Go to the blonde girl. You can make some weird jokes later. For example, when I was XX with a blonde girl, I found her face turned into a white old man again. Finally, switching back to the real world, the musicians have already sat on the electric chairs. Then it reached a climax in the intersection of reality and illusion, that wooden house caught fire and exploded~
Well, I admit that it's all I am swearing. The movie would be ruined if it were shot in this way. . . . But my point is very clear, it should be pointed out! Of course, with David Lynch's ability, the ending can be very exciting.
In fact, a few years later, the director himself gave the answer: "Mu Holland Avenue" was clicked. Mu Holland's logic is meticulous and well laid out, and he will realize it after reading it carefully and thinking about it. Looking back at "Lost Highway" now, I still think it's better to click it. But after all, it's an attempt, and "Lost Highway" should be used as a pavement for "Mu Holland".
