One of the favorites

There are two of my favorite movies: ADAPTATION and ERASERHEAD.

The two movies are very different in plot conception, structure and style. The only thing in common is that they are the purest interpretation of the director's personal style. Sofia’s magical ex-husband meets The ghost screenwriter and three old drama bones gave birth to the non-mainstream ADAPTATION. Lynch, who has no great production pressure, picked up the black and white paintbrush and painted ERASERHEAD, a nightmare full of pure depression.

In the world of ERASERHEAD, the sense of reality is not It was stripped little by little, but the actor's figure fell apart the moment it just entered the camera. There is no reason, no background, only a straightforward disorder. Bizarre, full of presence. It seems to be a disorder. The world of fairy tales that turn everything upside down, but this fairy tale is evil and dark.

This kind of film without a linear plot is like an abstract painting, with colors splashing around randomly, messy at first glance, and full of hints at first glance, and then watch it again. However, it has returned to chaos, and there is no way to know or to go into it.
