There is Kubrick's unique perspective.
Freaks born with women, rubber-headed, deformed children, and
the wife's family members behave too strangely, and the large washbasin holds the meals and stirs them to eat. The old lady who smoked blankly. Bai Zhanji will bleed by himself.
In the strange dream, he had his head cut off by that freak, and the freak's head grew onto himself.
The simple scene, with just a few people, is terrifying and meaningful, but I haven't experienced it yet. That black hole, those great white sperm, that rag-doll woman with swollen cheeks, pretending to hold the microphone and act like a crab to sing.

ps: Just like watching a lot of art films, it is doubled, tripled. The man's head lying down at the beginning is very thought-provoking.

    It still shows Lynch's unique characteristics as a painter and musician in terms of scene design and sound effects. What's even more gratifying is that many elements can be seen in "Twin Peaks". In fact, it also shows that he has never changed, and he is still It's the one and only him, and of course the fascination with noise and the roaring electricity of the '50s, the sympathy for the fate of women, the unbearable escape from being caught between generations, and a life dominated by sperm. , but it is more of a satire on the worthless life of the general public day after day. They are also responsible, and they use a decent appearance to package themselves, but they don’t know that they are cheap and worth only a piece of rubber. I don't know that the inner core has already been exposed, and in the deepest part of my heart, have I forgotten that I once wanted to have a distant dream?
