"In my beginning is my end.." TS Eliot

Rating: 5/10 (12 July 2017)

Lynches films usually garner interest because of his beautiful leading ladies (most of talent) and photography but he is NOT a great director. His plots are all stolen mix-matched pieces of Hitchcock, TV shows etc. ground up into a bland chopped meat that ends up saying nothing. What makes them really amateur are his long corny vignettes everyone wants to embellish on and call deep and mysterious or ironic messages about society. A girl staring at a mechanical bird in a tree or a young aspiring actress mouthing lines from 40s/50s films like "I'm going to be a famous actress!" then giggling like an idiot. People walk through his films reciting his lines like they are just doing a first reading (not even) and have never acted before. There's a high school play feeling about his films. They either reflect an immature, autistic mind or some imagery only he is aware of and cannot seem to communicate. He's not even amusing like John Waters. What a waste or talent and money!? In the end we can only appreciate them on the level of porn--mindlessly watching while masturbating.
