imho, it all boils down to two simple things:
- We live inside a dream, but who is the dreamer?
- You can’t go back home.

I absolutely love some of Lynch’s work but will openly confess that I have no idea what he was trying to tell me.

Surrealist art is intended to speak to the subconscious. I have a feeling this is why Lynch didn’t like to explain the meaning of his films. Emotional understanding emphasised over intellectual understanding.

I’m also a Lynch fan. The only time I really watch his movies is when I have a bad fever. I was sweating through my couch, dying to sip water and binging Twin Peaks. It’s really the only way to watch, I have to say.
Maybe psychedelics? That might be good too.

Movies by David Lynch show the dreams you have when bad stuff happen to you in real life.

The man himself said it in Twin Peaks: „Fix your hearts or die“

That’s kind of the point.

You can tell he’s telling you something. That’s enough for me.

Well put. A director that mutes all others in comparison. Plenty of great directors address the audience, Lynch displays it all in such a way as to inexplicably yet certainly speak to you and you alone
