Lynch and Bonnie likes Lynch for a personal reason. Because he has the same birthday as me. We are also at the junction of Capricorn and Aquarius, on the verge of mysterious fantasy. The astrology book defines us like this: powerful energy, extremely attractive, must leave room for fantasy in the mind, and be able to focus amazingly in a short period of time, even if it exudes huge energy, it still has a plain appearance, myth, madness Ambush, explosive power from time to time.
It sounds like it is describing Lynch’s movie.
By the way, Fellini and Poe were born on the same day. I treat the three of them as my brothers.
Lynch’s name is said to mean lynching. In the West, people also created a word specifically for him: Lynchism. Lynch has influenced a large number of great film authors, but at the same time, he is not in the ranks of those vulgar ones such as "100 movies that have influenced the world", "100 most powerful directors" and "movies that life has to watch". . His movies are like sweet and dirty little secrets, and people who have watched it are easy to indulge. With secret smiles, people who can understand formed the Dark Alliance.
I often fantasize about Lynch’s audience: it should be a kid in his teens or twenties, with jagged and jagged nails, wearing thick eyes and braces, dangling between boring street video stores. They are tired of watching all the Hollywood routines, they are not to be seen but their intelligence is superb. They found a gift in a mysterious corner: a guy named Lynch.
His films are extremely dark, extremely bright, humorous, scary, gorgeous and gloomy. Blood, violence, pornography, turbulence and division. The color is strong. Mysterious, suspenseful, retro, the dance is like death trembling. They are excited. An intelligence test is right in front of them. You will understand from the first second of the movie that you can't slack off every second after that. Being fooled by Lynch, or defeating Lynch? Those who are mentally or physically sick, those bad guys, dreams, highways, behind-the-scenes black hands and female singers, stage, sex, death, illusions?? those noises, those deformed rock and roll, those dreamy female voices, babbles and spells? ? Lynch's movie is like the blue box in "Mulholland Road". Once opened, it cannot be closed, although you know that the unpredictable real horror is coming. Some people say that Hitchcock’s horror is like daydreaming, with beautiful packaging and a smooth story. After being frightened, as long as you disassemble it carefully, you can always find his tricks. And David Lynch’s horror was like a midnight nightmare, completely irregular and no trace to be found. Even if you are already familiar with all the elements, Lynch can still attack you in the dark, and it has become a dream you can't get rid of.
It is said that Lynch’s movie is a famous movie that "must be seen three times to get a rough idea." Of course, most of the audience will leave categorically in the first fifteen minutes. It is said that three hundred and fifty spectators left the audience at the trial screening of "My Heart Is Wild".
It is very interesting that Lynch is so famous and so unfamiliar. It should be said that even among cult film directors, it is very rare. This year he was awarded the Golden Lion Lifetime Achievement Award. On the one hand, I was surprised that this award should not be given to Lynch: He is not old enough, far from a lifetime. A lifetime is like a tombstone that came too early. On the one hand, I feel that there is no suspense: in recent years, cults have prevailed. Peter Jackson is about to become the emperor of Hollywood, David Cronenberg has gained fame with "History of Violence", "Sin City" has promoted film noir to greatness?? The mainstream film market in the world is increasingly becoming more and more experimental cult films. Accept. In fact, these movies are like David Lynch himself. In fact, there are not too many places beyond the bottom line of secular morality. For people with a little broad vision, they are incorrigible. He is just a good citizen with good taste, great curiosity, a little bad taste and grotesque ambition.
My personal favorite Lynch’s movie is still "My Heart is Wild". It was an embarrassing experience to watch "My Heart is Wild" for the first time. I watched it with my mother. The endless sex, separated paragraphs like punctuation, my mother's face became more and more ugly. I pressed time-out before her seizure. Of course, I watched it carefully while no one was at home. I like the young Nicholas Cage in his signature snake print jacket. That man with a little ugly face is horribly cool in the movie, Kong Wu is powerful. And he always looked at the heroine with a tragic fateful look, as if he could see through a planet. His body is extremely violent, but in the face of his beloved woman, he expresses respect, restraint, and amazing tenderness. The love between them is truly romantic. It is difficult to witness such a pair in Eastern movies: they are truly equal to each other, they enjoy, they are real, and they share their innermost feelings. When Cage sang "Tender Love Me" as sweet as ice cream, and when the heroine said "Fuck me!", I was already crazy for Lynch. He inlaid those beautiful things like diamonds in the sand, foam, feces and garbage.
It is said that the most impressive part of this movie is the famous yellow brick road that pays tribute to "The Wizard of Oz". Especially this is a road movie. But whenever I think of this movie, I always think of the motels and rooms where the hero and heroine stayed along the way. It is claustrophobic and there is no way out. These rooms remind me of sex. Cheap hotel at four o'clock in the afternoon. The horizontal striped wood shutters cast shadows mottled on the ground. Blocks outside sounds, and light. The electric fan is spinning slowly, a little bit, but not hot. There is only one not too big bed, white sheets. There are some handprints on the walls and some scars from cigarette burns on the floor. The bathtub was broken and there was a sound of running water. Apart from this, there is nothing else. There is nothing more than sex. I like "My Heart is Wild" probably because I love this extremely bright and gorgeous passion.
What I admire most about David Lynch is his playful attitude. He wrote TV dramas. "Shuangfeng" was once popular. He painted, and it is said to be very good. He plays music and does graphic design. He is also a producer, photographer and engineer. His films often make me a sincere yearning. The kind of playful mind that doesn't take the movie as a soul gesture to sculpt, and certainly doesn't let the movie become a livelihood. His films do not need to be over-interpreted, the charm lies in the trance. I believe that true inspiration cannot be interpreted. Lynch’s movies show the true madness of freedom and the kind of completely self-interestedness, which really makes me envious. Only when I watch his movies can my heart be wild, even wilder than Lynch.
