Discuss David Lynch is talking about the greatest exponent of surrealism that we've seen to this day. The heir to the legacy of director Luis Buñuel and Kafka has explored since its initial work, how to blur the line between reality and imagination. And such examinations have taken place not only in cinema. It has also been involved in other arts, like painting, comics, television and furniture design. It currently has a web page, which presents his latest vision to those who are willing to pay for such service. But where Lynch is the film moves like a fish in water. It manages to break the cinema where the definitions that structure our perception of reality.
Lynch became known in the film world in 1977 with his debut "Eraserhead" or "Eraser Head" in English. In a dark room, shot in black and white, between industrial and decadent, Lynch tells the story of Henry Spencer, a character who inspired the name of the movie with your particular hairstyle (curiously unusual, as punishable by Lynch). Henry Spencer is an individual between weak, kind and naive, very ably played by Jack Nance. Spencer works in a printing press, and yet constantly told you're on vacation, an ironic way to begin to break schemes reality on the tape. The story flows without an ordered structure, until there is a meeting between Henry and Mary X, his former girlfriend. Mary invites him to dinner at home with their parents, and at that meeting when he learns of an unexpected news: Henry Spencer's father. It is at this point that gives the breakdown of the story introduces us to the second act. Unlike what happens in these cases, the son of Henry and Mary is an adorable baby. More However, it is a grotesque creature, totally removed from human nature. Henry Spencer gives face to the facts, and marries Mary. Then she and the "child" is going to live with the afflicted parents.
Within the daily life of the new Spencer family, the grunts and noises emitted by the baby constantly are exasperating. Henry deals with them, somewhat resigned, as if the battle has already been lost long ago. Mary reacts differently. She becomes a sort of hourglass, where each bead corresponds to a crying child. Then comes the time when it is filled and decides to leave, leaving behind the creature that came out of his belly and the naive who put it there. Henry Spencer would then have to be a father and mother of this creature, when he wants and does not feel as their own. Nice dilemma for a story that is constantly repeated on the planet, but through the lens of David Lynch is told in a unique and unrepeatable.
"Eraserhead" was a project that took 6 years to complete. At that time, nobody was interested in giving money to a film. After all, it was a script of only 20 pages, spread over connected to a short film with a film of 108 minutes. Lynch is the perseverance that allows you to finish this movie, and gain recognition his abilities as a director and writer, very much against the forecast by many. After
Eraserhead, David Lynch's life was not the same. While the planned special hours, from midnight, many eminent film showcases the talents embodied in that tape. Stanley Kubrick was defined as "the best movie I have seen." Mel Brooks saw the tape, and immediately proposed to Lynch to direct his next production "The Elephant Man." A similar reaction was George Lucas, who asked Lynch to direct Return of the Jedi ", the sixth chapter of his saga" The Star Wars. " Lynch Brooks accepted the proposal, which came out a masterpiece with 8 Oscar nominations.
"Eraserhead" is a complex film. It is not linear, with simple and immediate meanings. Overall, Lynch's film work requires the full attention of the viewer, as well as intellectual involvement in their stories.
To date, Lynch has rejected explain his film. Many link it to the stage where the director lived in Philadelphia, during his student years at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, as it is during this time that the young David Lynch must confront notions the creation of the artwork and parenting situations similar metals in the mind of an artist.
During his tenure as director, David Lynch will continue to explore new ways to thwart the reality in his films. Nothing is something unbreakable for him: the characters, locations and events are "strippable" according to his vision, so a character can be played by two actors, or a character may actually be two, and may even the point of presenting a character to tell a guest who is not with him, but at home, as happened in "Lost Highway."
However, the cinematographic work of David Lynch is so well done, that manages to shock the viewer, though put on alert on their intentions and strategies. A good example is the dream that tells one of the characters in "Mulhollnad Drive on horrible creature he had seen in his nightmares, just behind the cafe where you are, and as detailed in your description, the character is in reality with the aforementioned beast, taking us to reflect on whether it reflected on the big screen was real, or part of the vagaries of the mind of the character.
In its last production, "Inland Empire" Lynch is proposing much more ambitious goals and reach them. Fundamentally, we can say that the objective is to achieve complete disappearance of the narrative itself. It's a movie worth seeing, despite its nearly three hours long. As one known, speaking about this film: "in this case should change the cover of popcorn and a thermos full of coffee." A stimulant for the mind to want to leave with more questions than answers and is willing to question everything, walking in the outskirts of a movie, figuring if the streets where they are really walking.
