David Lynch: David Lean Lecture 

You know what I really like about Lynch's dreamy movies... first you watch it, and you end up with a mixed feeling. You like the art and the mystery of it, but you feel frustrated because you can't put everything together. Then you can't stop thinking about it. You watch it again... and then explore the internet for other people's interpretations. You finally start to put the pieces together and at this point the film instantly grows on you. What looked like something without meaning instantly glues as you get the click of what it is about. And even if you got the main idea... like when you discover what the puzzle is about... there is still a lot of symbolic stuff in the periphery for you to grasp. And this periphery is part of an endless discussion, because it is Lynch's very personal ideas and influences showing up, although the core is probably available to everyone, since it's about life. I really like this man's art. Thank you, David.

8:40 is what you came looking for

It looks sorta like Ben Horne is interviewing him to me. xD

I love how David Lynch refuses to say that his films have one concrete meaning, I think it makes it much more interesting to watch because you really have to absorb everything you see and come to your own conclusions.

15:35 David casting a spell

While listening to just the audio of this interview, I could easily imagine Lynch as Heath Ledger's Joker; "Such a beautiful thing to get an idea. Because you see it, you hear it, you feel it, and *THERE IT IS.* " Gotta love Lynch, he just _does_ things. A cinematic agent of chaos.

24:28 "the film is the thing"

David Lynch is the jazz musician of film makers...improv cinema & storytelling...his ideation-to-cinema explanation made me think of cooking --- like when you have an idea for what to make for dinner, say roast chicken, and then smth else comes up like, a side of sauteed mushrooms and...then the salad...dessert and so on...

DL is incredibly tough to interview. The guy translates the intangible. It's like trying to get a Zen master to 'sum up' Zen.

the compilation starting at 0:55 is hillarous

he frustrates every single attempt the interviewer makes to give his films meaning and I love that for us

To understand Lynch you need to watch his early films, and by those I mean works like the Grandmother. Any explanation of work after that is redundant. He's a visual artist and painter who brings it to life like a multi disciplinary Francis Bacon.

Literally awesome!

I've always felt like David Lynch should make a musical. I don't know how that came up, but I'm not gonna question the thought processes triggered by viewing David Lynch interviews.

David Lynch is a genius, he does an amazing job of taking the piss out of Hollywood and its nonsensical formulaic storytelling. Hollywood is too pretentious to realise he has been trolling them for 40 years.

Interview disclaimer for David Lynch: Don’t mention Dune.

There are very few men in the world with hair that is comparable to David's. After I learned he never shampoos it, I dropped the habit myself, for the most part, unless it gets super-greasy.

The '50s was shiny and chrome.

anyone speak lynch hands? Need subs

Good interview, bruh. Would've been great if you didn't pester him with those "What did __ mean?" questions. If Lynch didn't meditate he'd let you really know how much it annoys him to be asked the same thing for 40+ years.

What is it with British television? Everything looks like it was filmed in 1972.

Lynch is just telling it how it is. I wish the audience would quite their laughter.

I like how the interviewer keeps trying to pin down the meaning on these movies and Lynch is so comfortable rejecting the notion entirely. Although it got a bit annoying toward the end like, don't you get it dude?

Lynch answered to Elaborate on that, i know it, some hardcore fans will know it, but the presenter and regular crowd wont : D

what would Lynch think of those chairs?

One good part.

David Lynn.

hey lets pair david lynch with our most boring, stupid, generic guy we can find in our bafta basement... what can possibly go wrong...

2:14 what is that edit i love it

David Lynch's approach to meaning in film, is the same as Derrida's in writing and philosophy. There is no meaning inherent in anything, besides its innumerable interpretations. An artist who accepts this, is able to express themselves through a wider emotional spectrum than language or images alone might allow, and it cannot be reduced back to those mediums.

Love Lynch! INLAND EMPIRE, Mulholland Drive, Lost Highway and Eraserhead are my fav's. I never like Elephant Man at all.

the interviewer wasn't the greatest, but nonetheless a great lecture!

He is Laura

Set designer's a big fan of Eileen Gray.

What's that weird music at the end credits???

when David Lynched, John Hurt.

why are the crowd all wearing tuxedos?

seriously.

Believe it or not, God Is Gay btw if you came looking for this, it's at 8:38 or so

They picked some odd scenes. Of all the things in Blue Velvet and Wild at Heart, why did they pick that one?

I understand you have to have ads on your RU-vid video, but why for fucks sake do they have to happen in the middle of every movie clip you’re showing.

Please pay 5000$ now.

This interviewer flubbed the opportunity to have a conversation with Lynch.

Lynch deserved a better interwier

Malcolm X's etiude biography is a worsely attitude for him.

The interviewer is an absolute, arrogant prat. Lynch deserved so much better.

Lost his girlfriend but found a purpose. Not everyone's that lucky 😅

Not the best interview if I’m being honest

who the fuck is David Lin?

It sure isn't God's world he is talking about.

The people giggling in the audience are disrespectful af

Interviewer not good.

David Lynch gives zero fucks.

Jodorowsky y'all, is the real artist.

Woody Allen and David Lynch should collaborate.

Terrible questions and interview

Dear Mister Lynch: Rock and Roll had existed since the 1920s and was not embraced by the culture at large until the 50s. Because a person is unaware of something does not mean that it doesn't exist. I was there for most of the 50s and the first r'n'r I heard was a downbeat-heavy blues number called Heartbreak Hotel. Fats Domino was recording r'n'r in the late 40s and Blueberry Hill came to L.A. radio the same year that Elvis came to my attention. Elvis was making fine recordings at Sun Records since 1953 and those records were not played on L.A. radio. You are a smart guy, David, please do your homework and proper research before making sweeping statements not based in "real history". In otherwords African-American rock and rollers were not known to the culture until Elvis opened the door. That's how it worked then and now there are computers granting access to excellence should a person seek excellence. One can find traditional Japanese music, for instance, with RU-vid and even didgeridoo jams are available to anyone with laptop and internet (make it free, please). I do a wicked good interpretation of a Lynch/Badalamenti song called "Rockin' Back into My Heart" and I changed a few words so that I can sing it honestly. When I sing I am incapable of lying and that is not a disease. I'm in Hollywood if you want to hear it. I would film it on my computer if my retarded neighbors would allow it and they are on six sides of my room. Perhaps I'll find a way to make a vid of your song - is there a copyright ban on wicked good interpretations? Please let me know and keep on rocking.

I know loads of people with just as much imagination as David Lynch who could do far better than him. He's ok, but he's not brilliant is he?
