In the film and television industry, there have always been two Davids that everyone will remember and respect. One is David Finch, who is known for his suspense films and has presented us with many excellent works such as "Fight Club", "Seven Deadly Sins", "Dragon Tattoo Girl" and so on. These works have been talked about by fans for years; there is also a man named David Lynch. There are also many people who have seen David Lynch's works, such as "Demon Night's Wasteland", "Mulholland Road", "RubberHead" and other classic works will be generally recognized by everyone.
The two Davids seem to have only a word difference in name, but the style of the film they direct is different. David Fincher is known for his suspense films, and his suspense films all give people the feeling of stripping away the cocoon. Let you see a scene, and then gradually unveil the veil that is draped over the scene little by little, which constantly leaves clues to the audience, so that the audience has more sense of participation, and finally after getting the answer, everyone feels that this process is very enjoyable.
But David Lynch is different, the same suspense film. He likes to tell us a story in a very personal way, and this story is not largely shown to everyone according to a certain linear narrative. Therefore, the audience's experience is not high. Very few viewers can fully participate, even if there is a little sense of participation, but in the end, because of the huge and chaotic details, this newly established sense of participation will be wiped out.
This is the difference between the essence of two people's films, you can't completely deny the quality of one of them' works, you can only make your own judgment based on preferences. As for the results, it's a matter of opinion. Unfortunately, the work recommended to you today is directed by David Lynch, so in terms of viewing experience, it cannot take care of everyone. People who like him naturally think that this film is very pioneering. If people who don't like it are forced to watch, they will be forced into neuropathy. What do you think? It's not very exciting. So what kind of work is this film? Let's take a look at the plot first.
The Inland Empire is a 2006 book written and directed by David Lynch. To understand the work, you need to do your homework in advance. Because this film partly explains his other experimental short film" "Rabbit", which is a 2002 work, people who watch that work at that time must be confused. It's okay, wait for David Lynch, he'll give you the answer in this film.
At first glance, you don't think there's anything wrong with the title, it's true, it's a normal title, but after you start watching it for a few minutes, that doubt, the kind of doubt that you can't solve it, will come up at once. What the hell is this?
I went to see Inland Empire after watching Rabbit. When I saw a woman watching TV at the beginning, the short film "Rabbit" appeared on tv, I was still complacent. At the time, I even felt that this film was presenting us with an Easter egg. You should be able to find more of David Lynch's work in the film. But gradually, the content that the film wanted to show suddenly exceeded my imagination. The first half is still regular, the second half has been using a fragmented narrative technique, constantly presenting us with a fragmented world, and finally, three hours are exhausted, and no one knows what we have gained, but in these three hours, you must feel that life is better than death. What is this about? I am afraid that this is the confusion of too many people.
But this question is really difficult to say, if you rely on the previous half, then you will see an actress in the real and the virtual reincarnation. A little bit of escaping from reality, a little bit of being swallowed up by the virtual. She could see that she wanted to find an answer, but reality didn't give her any answer. So she indulges in the virtual, trapping herself in a fixed scene, constantly leaving and returning. Oh my God, the movie sees this, I'm going crazy.
But the second half begins, what do we see? See the killing, see the more obscure confusion, see a woman trapping herself, see a woman's resistance and rescue another woman. But in the end, we didn't see anything. The film abruptly stops, pushing the climax out of the virtual, and the people in the real world are constantly dancing and laughing. And the audience's consciousness seems to slow down a beat, and the thoughts stay at the moment of the climax of the film.
This is definitely one of David Lynch's most obscure works, and if Mulholland Drive is a gorgeous feast, then this film is like a niche meeting. If you are in the pit because of "Mulholland Road", then this film is not recommended to watch, if you are because of "Demon Night's Wasteland", this film should make you more excited. Whether it is narrative or photography style, this film is definitely the most special of all the works of director Lynch, and if someone in the world can deconstruct people's dreams and psychological activities well, David Lynch will definitely get approval.
Some directors are good at exciting you, and some directors will drive you crazy a little bit. Unfortunately, the film's director, David Lynch, is the latter. Once again, warm reminder, mentally weak people, watch with caution.
