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

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

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.

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.

Jokes on you! I pretend to understand your films to get close enough to artsy girls to borrow their clothes!

Best director who ever lived. Twin peaks was one of my biggest reasons for relocating to the pnw

I mostly understood at least the basic points of all of his movies… except Inland Empire. That shit was just impossible to decipher even after re-watching it three times, the third one with pen and paper to try and piece the plot together (cause the Wikipedia plot section is useless at capturing the detail). Honestly I feel like he was just throwing shit at the camera and seeing what doesn’t end up on the cutting room floor. A shame that’s the one he went out on.

Lynch is easy. Refn is hard. I’ve seen Her Private Hell four times now cause a cute girl told me to, and I still have no idea what’s going on beyond “approximately every half hour or so, a girl gets bashed into a window head first and/or her chest torn open, and dies.” It’s got cool neon bullshit though.
The girl is pretty cute too.

I unironically love his films.

This scene gets my cry-laughing every time. I want to get into a jam session with some people and lure them into doing this without realizing.

Omg that would be amazing. No one in my band watches twin peaks so it would fall on deaf ears but one day I will

Jokes on you, I watch Lynch’s Dune to find a partner.

Straight story was about the existential dread of living in an infinite and ultimately meaningless universe that neither knows about or cares about our brief existence

I understand that his work makes me feel both mystified, curious, and and a little scared ; that maybe there is some hint of magic in the world and it is dark but alluring.
If someone else appreciates these feelings and wants to share them with me, hell yeah, let’s get together.
