Why did Lynch make this up just to explain an unexplainable line? It’s like he finally realized how fricking dumb his approach to filmmaking is and struggled for an excuse. I love the movie btw, especially the Lou Reed original, but goddamn.
>Why did Lynch make this up just to explain an unexplainable line?
Making it up was the whole point, brainlet. It's literally what storytelling is about.
>never read the story behind this line
Everyone knows the story behind the line. But you don't get what it means to actually tell a story. That's your problem.
>Telling a story is blatantly lying about something that happened to you in your life to explain a nonsensical line.
I guess Lynch and his fans understand writing on a level that most writers wouldn’t get. Unless he’s the equivalent of the musician pretending to be fricked up during a performance. Which is sad.
I’m gonna be honest, I thought you made that fricking poster. I don’t know how that flew under my radar. Even after watching the trailer with sissy spacek I thought it was a joke. I have absolutely no idea how I missed this, but i’m glad I came into this thread. I have never once seen it mentioned on this board.
>t. not seen any other films of his
I’ve seen all his films except Inland Empire (which I can’t find) and apparently the straight story. I am now excited about movies again.

Apparently you don't even know of all of his films. Maybe you should list those you've seen. You might be missing lots of them.

His filmography is on wikipedia, like all the others. I’ve even seen his weird short films. I honestly have no clue why I’ve never heard of it. The Walt Disney font is what made me think it was a joke. That and I criticized his story structure while the movie is called the straight story. It just seems like parody at first glance. Maybe he called it a straight story because he was making a sincere effort instead of trying to Lynch his audience. Never mind about Inland, i just wanted a physical copy, and I’m drunk.

He always tells straight stories. You just need to stop thinking that he isn't to notice that he is.

Straight Story is an excellent film and I agree with Lynch's claim that it was his most experimental. Seeing his techniques being used in a film that is intentionally straightforward and clear was cool as shit.
I just rewatched this today. My interpretation of the plot is that Renee was cheating on Fred with Dick Laurent due to Fred’s impotence, causing him to kill Laurent and then Renee some time later when he finally snapped. After his chase in the desert ended, he was put on death row and constructed the Pete persona and dream as a way of justifying his actions and feeling good. He performs a physical labor job—one associated with masculinity—where he’s successful, he is highly sexually active, he has friends and the support of his loving parents, and his new girlfriend looks like Marilyn Monroe. Furthermore, he listens to modern hard rock instead of jazz. His wife is reinterpreted as a voluptuous blonde and her lover is a dangerous mobster instead of just a random older gentleman. The Mystery Man represents pornography and violent media. He provides Fred with the means to slit Laurent’s throat and films what goes on his bedroom. Fred let the demon in and paid the price. Ultimately, the dream comes down. Now, I believe that Fred most likely killed himself in his cell due to his chronic head pain, mental instability, and guilt.
Congrats, you've successfully reiterated the most superficial mainstream interpretation of the film, added in a few desriptors to make it sound like you came up with something new, and then added in some veritable bullshit like >The Mystery Man represents pornography and violent media
Is this you, Twin Perfect? Definitely sounds like it.
I never saw Twin Perfect’s video on Lost Highway or anything other than his one on Mulholland Drive. Lynch’s work is easy to decipher when you realize that he’s obsessed with dreams, Jungian psychology, and manifestations of malevolent forces.
>Lynch’s work is easy to decipher when you realize that he’s obsessed with dreams, Jungian psychology, and manifestations of malevolent forces.
Funny how you think you've "deciphered" anything by giving a completely superficial reading that ignores half of what's going on.
Put a hanger on a frickin stove and let that shit sit there for like a half hour, take it off and stick it in your ass slow like tssssssss
The main character is David Lynch's self insert. Lynch has impotency lmao
Offer my condolences and ask when the funeral is being held.

>blatantly lying about something that happened to you in your life
Yeah, you're fricking moronic.
You really think that happened? In what world would that happen? It’s straight from the mind of David Lynch. It’s funny, and edgy, but c’mon man.
He's a more reliable source than you will ever be.
Other than Blue Velvet and Elephant Man, when has Lynch ever just told a story?
Thanks for the kek, anon.

Crash in to slumber.
