Watching David Lynch's film for the first time

I watched this film in the screening room on Saturday. When I saw it for 30 minutes, my first feeling was a bunch of neuroses! Later Lula also said in the hotel that the world is crazy.

This film is to show the extreme character of the characters, Lula's mother, her lover and killer and so on. During Seiler's escape, sex, violence, a large number of color blocks, flames, etc. are interspersed, symbolizing the theme of "wild at heart". I feel that this is simply an expression of symbolism.

Maybe the films in the early 1990s, judging from the current point of view, are a bit outdated. For example, in the two songs of Elvis Presley, the first Seiler actually sang the entire passage. What's the point? Finally, in order to show that Seiler really wanted to marry Laura, he stood in the car and sang "Love me Tender". It felt like he was watching an opera. It was a bit too formal. And when Seller described his snakeskin jacket, he directly said "it is a symbol of my faith and personality." The snakeskin jacket in the whole article can already represent Thaler's character, and directly speaks out the suspicion of superfluous.

It was the first time I came into contact with David Lynch’s movies. His style is indeed a bit different and never forgets. Cage's performance is also remarkable, so I won't comment on others.

    To be honest. I only saw the 50th minute. Compared to the 300 people who left the premiere of 350 people, I am relatively patient. But I still plan to continue to find time to watch it. The premise is that I hate it the most Nicolas Cage was still a little bit like when he was young.

    Didn't mean to watch it with Manhattan...but the previous one was full of Bergman, this one was full of shit, one was in a big city, the other was in the desert, who believes it's the same kind of love in the same country? All I can say is, Lynch, you dare to shoot like this, and I don't dare to put it here with five stars!
