Before reading "Dream Room: The Biography of David Lynch: Room to Dream", I always wondered if this great director who was exceptionally good at shooting horror and curious movies had any unusual experiences in his childhood that allowed him to create in the future. There can be so many negative human emotions and memories, and the inspiration of all kinds of nightmares flashes. "Dream Room: "The Biography of David Lynch" Room to Dream" is a memoir and autobiography "combined" biography, completed by Christine McKenna and David Lynch, and Christine first used traditional biographical writing methods to complete One chapter was supplemented and revised by Lynch after reading it through. It is equivalent to two people telling the same story alternately. The film made by David Lynch is obscure and difficult to understand, but the speech is still easy to understand, humorous, and full of fun. As a result, I kept reading about Lynch entering the film academy, and I didn’t think there was anything special about his childhood and teenage life. He was an ordinary young man who loved art, and the educational resources he received in the early stage were probably not as good as the ordinary ones now. middle School student. In early 1966, David Lynch returned to Philadelphia, entered the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, and began experimenting with making films. In 1968, he directed the color short film "Alphabet The Alphabet" (I like this very much. I watched it again and again. The scene of the little girl vomiting blood from memorizing the alphabet reminds me of the way I tried to endorse the book before, which is very intimate). The short film won a scholarship from the American Film Association, but he soon left the film industry to continue to focus on his fine arts studies. He really loves painting and has been painting non-stop, "I went to the school management department to intercede:'Let me quit class, I don't want to be a physicist.' But they said:'David, in life There are certain things that you have to do whether you like it or not. "My brother was interested in electronics for a long time, and he also entered the industry. I think when you were a kid, you actually knew that you would be in the future. What do you do. They should let me leave school and concentrate on developing that specialty. My god! The time spent in school can be used to paint! And I don’t remember anything. I don’t remember anything! I fucking forgot all the things I learned in school.” Later, I made a movie, and I inserted an animation into the movie from time to time, and made some unique props, which are all Lynch's masterpieces. Others can't do this. In 1970, he directed the short drama "Grandmother The Grandmother (1970)" (At this time, he had not systematically learned how to make movies. He had no money, no funds, no skills. Several actors were temporarily brought in by neighbors and colleagues, but he had watched them. Everyone in this film knows that as soon as the great god shot it, he knew if there was any), and then entered the American Film Institute to study film studies. In 1974, he wrote, directed and acted in the short film "The Amputee The Amputee. In 1977, David Lynch directed the horror film "Eraserhead" based on his turbulent life and the inspiration from life in the slums of Philadelphia. He also served as the producer, editor, and editor of the film due to lack of manpower. Music, art direction, art design and other work, "The most important lesson I learned is that everything is common sense, and you can figure out how to make special effects by yourself." This is the first personal feature film directed by Lynch.
David Lynch spent five years in the academy’s stables before filming "Eraserhead." In "Grandmother The Grandmother", many of Lynch’s styles have begun to take shape. I think Lynch’s most genius works are "Grandmother The Grandmother (1970)" and "Rabbits (2002)", chaotic and crazy, Make people surrender. The length is short, but horror and absurdity fills every frame. We sometimes have to admit that the master is indeed born and not educated by the school, but "the great horse is often present, but Bole is not often". At this time, Lynch is just a piece of jade. In order to shine, apart from hard work, Still need a lot of good luck. Although the film academy could not give a genius idea, it gave Lynch the shooting location and the initial funding. "Anything can happen, and sometimes something will come suddenly, putting everything on the right track. This kind of thing may happen in life. But if you expect it to happen, you may be disappointed. But you should always Be prepared, because this kind of thing can happen at any time." Where does the absurd feeling in Lynch's movie come from? "The essence of absurdity is an aesthetic perception of the meaningless nihility of life. Absurdity is a manifestation of human alienation and limitation, and it is also the division of phenomenon and essence. The deviation between motivation and result is often expressed in irrational and alienated forms. Reality The absurdity in the aesthetic activity is the source of the absurdity in the category of aesthetic activities, and the aesthetic form of absurdity is to reflect and criticize the absurd life practice in the reality in an aesthetic way." Camus believes that the world's people, as always, make the behavior necessary for survival, the primary reason is habit. . Suicide means acknowledging the meaninglessness of this habit, acknowledging the profoundness of lacking a basis for life, acknowledging the madness of daily turmoil and the uselessness of pain. Once people have such a "divorce" from life, they will have a sense of absurdity. In the opposite sense, human life needs a sense of "self-consistency", whether it is an illiterate citizen or a scholar with deep thoughts. "Even if it is a world that can be explained by evil principles, it is still a kind world." I guess the heavy, noisy and dangerous industrial sense of Philadelphia has brought too much inspiration to Lynch. "Rubber Head "Eraserhead" was filmed for 5 years. During this period, filming was stopped many times due to lack of funds and other reasons. An old dirty toilet was brushed white and shiny and was favored by the landlord. Finally, he rented the house to him and allowed him to remodel the garage at will. Lynch did not elaborate on how much hardship he suffered during those five years. In the stories he tells himself, many things are just procrastinated. The actors just pick them casually. Everyone is so suitable, and everything is incredible and just right. But we can also imagine that the fear of the past few years is naturally indispensable, and it is a miracle that a few actors can persist.
In "Eraserhead", many props are made by Lynch himself, and the makeup is also designed by him (he also made props in many movies after he became famous, a versatile talent), even though I have watched a lot of curious and horrible films , The little monster in the film is still unforgettable, so amazing, Stanley Kubrick wants to know how to make it. Although you can use special effects to make all kinds of realistic and disgusting little monsters, there is no such thing as a bloodless little monster that can't move in most of the scenes. I am deeply impressed. A weird and twisted family, domineering mother, incompetent father, vegetative grandmother and clumsy daughter. What made Henry feel helpless was that he was forced to marry his girlfriend. Overnight, Henry became the father of a deformed child. There is no doubt that the protagonists are suffering from some kind of postpartum depression. The young couple gave birth to this child when they were not ready. Of course, they think it is more terrifying than monsters. Lynch revealed that the umbilical cords in the film are all real human umbilical cords. The nightmare, hallucinations, subconscious, weird and ambiguous atmosphere is really good. Lynch is also very interesting. He never explains his work. All of it is interpreted by the audience. Compared with the completion of the work, he still has to point out the characters and keep changing the author. . Lynch himself said: ""Rubber Head" is my most spiritual film, but many people have not seen it. I had some feelings at the time, but I don't know what these feelings mean to me. So I took out the "Bible" and started to read. I read it and saw a sentence, and I said:'That's it.' But I can't tell you what it is."
"Your nature has been determined to such a large extent. Although your parents and friends can have some influence, you have always been the original you. Several of my children have different personalities. They all have independent personalities. And since birth, they have brought their own little instincts. "How wonderful life is. It seems that destiny is destined, but it has infinite possibilities. I hope everyone can find their own hearts on the road of life. Towards.
