OK not great

Rating: Null/10 (30 April 2002)

I saw this movie the other day. The two main leads are hot and there are two great lesbian scenes to boot. Apart from that the movie was just OK. I like pretty much all the David Lynch films that I have seen so far. But this one was just kinda boring. The first hour and a half is pretty conventional film-making. It draws you in and you are interested to see what will happen next. However, after they go to some midnight retarded opera the film starts to not make any sense whatsoever.
(Possible Spoiler )I have read some explanations of the film and what was going on with the characters. It's all very interesting, but to me, it's pointless. I was told that when you make a movie you are supposed to make the audience care about your characters. This movie does that in the first hour and a half, but then we are told the characters we care about, aren't really the characters at all. They don't even have the same names as we thought they did, and they act a whole lot different too. This leaves the audience with really nothing to care about in the movie, just the hopes that more nudity will ensue. Twin Peaks was much better, as was Blue Velvet.
