Why every time after watching David Lynch’s film you might
have a feeling that you need to watch that film again, because you didn’t
understand anything. Well, there can be only one answer- it’s David Lynch. I
admire this person not only as an artist, film director but also as a singer
and a songwriter and the follower of Transcendental
Meditation. But for now, I am going to talk about his films that inspire
me a lot.
Lynch doesn’t make simple films; his every film is a puzzle,
a mystery, something unknowable. However there’s no need in watching his films
several times again and again, trying to pay attention to every detail and
still try to put them all together. For example Mulholland Drive-it’s not a
puzzle, though you can give a really good task to your brain while watching
this film. It’s a thriller, a classic thriller, which was directed by a real
Master.
Mulholland
Drive – is a very complex film. Most of the people after
watching it might think that Lynch just made fun of them, nothing was clear, where’s
the line between sleep and reality and so many other queschions remained unanswered…
But that what Lynch is all about, and I think you can respect him for that. Because
David Lynch, unlike the huge number of other directors, really makes you wonder.
And even those who call this movie a total delirium- they still think about this film. For the same reason, it doesn’t even matter whether you figured out
the idea behind this film or not, because the main reason is to make you think
and analyse.
I
liked "Mulholland Drive". This is a very clever and intellegent film,
though quite difficult to perceive. If you didn’t
understand it – don’t worry.
You just need to give yourself a bit of a time to think,
reflect, analyse, and compare some pieces of the
film. You might ask, what for? Simply
for the brains to work out. Well, I understand it might me easier to watch these
stupid comedies and sci-fi films that ocupied movie market these days, the
creators of which are just competing
against each other, but do you really need that? If you still haven’t seen this film, I
highly recommend to watch it.
