Inland Empire

I watched an interview with "2046" once. Tony Leung said that the film has been filmed on and off for more than 5 years. Wong Kar-wai himself has no script. Faye Wong and the others don't know what the film is talking about.

But I think these are pediatrics compared to David Lynch, and there are "The Matrix", "The Dark Knight", "Inception", compared with Lynch's films, they are purely pediatrics, if we say Watching these movies is to solve arithmetic problems. At best, these are addition, subtraction, multiplication and division in elementary school. Lynch's films are at least calculus linear algebra and probability theory.

At the 50th minute of the film, I still knew roughly what I was watching. After Nikki turned around and entered a series of rooms, I was stunned. I was taking notes and watching, and then for two hours, I was stunned. Although I'm confused, I think the film is too awesome, because I haven't seen a film that made me confused in the past year. It's not stupid. There are layers of logical reasoning behind it. You can't miss every picture, like the moonlight. The turbulent lake below is dark, with only bright reflections, but under the lake are roaming schools of fish, gushing spring water, and floating water plants. It is really memorable when I think of it!

Lynch is the director who easily weaves reality and dream, no one can beat him!

    The wide-angle close-up is simply magical. Acting, dreaming, hypnosis, reality, splitting... all mixed together. Totally indistinguishable. The rabbit part is perfectly embedded, as beautiful as a surreal painting.

    In the spiritual world constructed by David Lynch, the emptiness is scattered in the fragmented images, and the characters in the film are opposed to the actors themselves. In the end, I can't tell whether the characters themselves devoured me or whether I am just like that. I don't know the ending. In this case, it is even more confusing, breaking the time limit, and forming a strange subconscious work through inner changes and symmetry with the surrounding symbols, with a handsome hairstyle, you really love the actor's facial close-up!
