So in essence he just summed up a lost hollywood diatribe and why this movie means nothing to some... and everything to people who get it The bottom line:.........................don't get involved with something seductive ... makes you feel at ease... then destroys your world.
Imagine if it was just a drunk fanboy wanting to troll Lynch who knocked his door telling him Dick Laurent is death, just to years later find out he inspired one of the best movies ever made
David Lynch thinking about what's real, his memory, and psychogenic fugue states, is absolutely terrifying, because of the inordinate amount of time he demonstrates calculatedly reforming catalogues of even weirder memory and cementing them into English, manifesting the current reality, this weird ass "masterpiece" that is 2024...
the piece about the oj trial is so interesting and makes so much sense in the context of the movie and the way that the story is told. one of my favorite lynch's
Dude, if some random person knocked at my door, said "Dick Lorant is dead" and I didn't see anyone in the street by the window, I would be fucking freaked out and move away from there, not make a movie.
This idea of the "Dick Larant is dead" thing being real, and it emerging from the person in question confusing the two Davids, speaks to the split identity theme in the film itself in a really interesting way...
OJ Simpson goes on living after committing double murder because he tried to avoid the truth as much as he can and be as optimistic as possible. I can’t what that life must be like for him. As much as he lives in denial I am sure he is fully aware how much better his life used to be.
Why did LH get so much hate when released? It’s fucking good. It made me extremely uneasy the night that I viewed it. Had trouble sleeping & felt like there was someone in my apartment all night.
The OJ Simpson reference made me reflect on an incidence in South Africa with Oscar Pistorius, a well known athlete with prosthetic legs who shot and killed his girlfriend, a well known model. How does the mind process these events and how one continues to live one’s life…
I shouldve bought the dvd. Ive seen this upon release and then many times on VHS. psychogenic fugue is my band's name. I just viewed the new 4K VERSION - I am still overwhelmed by the production design of LH & David's sound design never mind interpreting it. I just learned he bought and then renovated that Madison house for his artistic vision.
