Did I mention that I don't get David Lynch movies?

Rating: 4/10 (15 August 2008)

I JUST finished this movie. Luckily I went into it with low expectations. About the only David Lynch movie I have ever finished without being bewildered, confused, and a little bit angry was his interpretation of Frank Herbert's Dune. But I keep watching them. When I pass by a David Lynch I haven't seen, I feel compelled to watch them. And I think the reason why is, that they draw you in.
I was deeply embedded in the storyline throughout most of the movie. At least until it started getting really strange. And when it finished, I found myself bewildered, confused, and more than just a little bit angry. I was never a horror movie fan, because I never understood the allure of feeling scared. Well that and most of them were just not scary. The only audience I can imagine Lynch appealing to is an audience that craves feeling confused. In my desperate attempt to make sense of it all, I looked up what I could on the movie through google, and I came to find that Lynch never feels inclined to explain his movies. He is even entertained by other people's interpretations of his movies. So I think Lynch got out of me exactly what he wanted.
I gave it a 4 because it was at least involving. I didn't want to stop the movie early because it really had me drawn in.
