So exciting, so addicting

December 30, ushered in the first snow. Although it was noon, it was still dark inside and outside. Yesterday, I had a high fever and was in bed all day. At night, my body was soaked with sweat. I felt much better this morning, but my body was extremely weak. I've been hoarding discs for more than half a year, and today I finally had a chance to pick one to watch. I chose "Mulholland Drive" by David Lynch.

Looking back now, so many "accidents" inadvertently created the right atmosphere for watching the film.

At the beginning of the film, I knew his way. It is impossible to watch this film twice. This is a highly intelligent director, and the plot unfolds according to my favorite multi-pronged approach, except that the rhythm is more calm and elegant, like a slowly unfolding scroll. But the scroll is made up of many disjointed fragments. The pieces are unrelated, but I know they must converge at some point to solve all the mysteries.

But this time, I, who claim to be well versed in the way of Hollywood, dropped 80,000 glasses.

When the pieces gradually start to coalesce into images, when you've gotten used to the rhythm and start guessing the ending, just when you think the nightmare is about to end -- about 4/5 of the way through the film -- suddenly, Everything turned upside down. The same people, familiar faces, but they reappear with completely different identities, and a new story unfolds in front of you...

It all happened so suddenly that "what the hell happened to all this?" The hammer kept bombarding my brain. In the ensuing process, the pieces that have been pieced together have been stitched together again. This kind of recollection and reorganization is mixed with bombardment, and the brain almost freezes in an instant.

I have never seen such a sinister film before. The eerie atmosphere of dreamlike reality and ghostly shadows runs through it, and it won't let you relax for a minute in 2 hours and 29 minutes.

There is no need for any bloody scenes to create a terrifying atmosphere. Those 75 horror film directors bring only a feeling of vomiting and a brief secretion of adrenocortical hormones. The masters aim to send his audience into a bottomless sense of helplessness and despair. One of the usual methods is sound. Those who value music I call romantics, and those who use sound effects like David Lynch I can only call realists. His background sounds include deformations like heartbeat, breathing, tinnitus (have you ever experienced tinnitus? Hehe), and even silence...

Forgive me for not being able to describe the plot as usual, because I really don't want to spoil everyone Enjoy the super thrill of being visually and intellectually challenged.

Well, be prepared to draw your curtains halfway down on a sunless winter's day, or twilight with a torrential rain -- preferably that kind of thin translucent sand, when you're tired -- or wilted It's okay, don't go to the cinema, don't share it with others, just yourself, if you feel nervous, light a cigarette, turn on your TV and CD player, and let your nightmares be guided by David Lynch , let's go wild on Mulholland Drive.
