Are you kidding me? I sat there wondering why it is so trendy to laud David Lynch as being edgy and brilliant when all of a sudden, as if in my own dream sequence, someone explained to me that the film was supposed to be like watching a dream, random events unfold and your taken on some journey where you have no control. OK with that in mind I kinda get it, trust me this review is completely different from the one where I rip everyone and everything in David Lynchs galaxy apart after thinking he wrote half of a story about an amnesia girl, a nice helpful girl and a bag of money and then couldn't figure out how to end the story so he just filmmed random scenes and prayed to God everyone would go "well thats David Lynch for ya, isn't he brilliant making all of us discuss this film and what it might mean?". In fact here is a bit of my old review, where I spit venom at Art-House types for raising this film to cult status, in the form of sarcasm: My favorite scene was when the 2 old people were in the limo and they were really happy and the car was driving and the old people were smiling and the visuals just made so much sense artistically, like it was some sort of dream sequence where 2 old people sit in a limo and smile, very deep, very emotional and raw. David Lynch is a genius and I too understand the secrets of this film, this makes me smarter than most people and I laugh at those who don't understand his brilliance, or the brilliance of this, his latest masterpiece. If it was supposed to be someones dream then fine, congratulations for having an intereting point of view. If not then shame on everyone who made this film into something more than it was. My only advice to anyone needing to see the film is, see it with friends and get stoned. I should have been.
