Blue Velvet is cool dude

To be fair, he openly admitted that not even he knew what was going on during Inland Empire. My favorite movie of his is Blue Velvet and I think it's because it has fewer surreal elements and a better overal narrative.

Remember when he was allowed to prove his ability to make a real movie? How did Dune turn out again? He's a one trick pony, only appealing to the intellectually insecure.

Nigga that shit movie was so obviously about fatherhood that it would be pretty fucking sad if you didn't figured that out 30 minutes into the film.

Like someone said here, Lynch is baby-tier symbolism. The hack doesn't hold a candle to someone like Mallick who can actually use symbolism in his movies without forcing people into shitty surrealism and garbage narrative.
>>
It's pretty funny that you fags couldn't say one thing about Lynch's movies other than vague accusations about the people that like them and calling them shit. ctrl F Pretentious 9 results.

You keep using the word "symbolism" when it has nothing to do with Lynch's work. Lynch uses SURREALISM, often turning an everyday place, person or thing into something darker or otherworldly. Glad to see you just finished your first semester of college and have achieved all knowledge. Lynch is one of the ultimate pleb filters and you sir, have failed.
>>
>>71455978
I respectfully disagree. Though you can say that lynch placing seemingly incongruous scenes and images next to each other I don't believe that he's attempting to say anything about the subconscious. Instead I see it more as an undermining of how film creates narrative and verisimilitude.
>>
>>71452209
how are these themes pretentious at all?
>>
>>71454152
don't even reply, this guy's just dumb. Seriously if you can't understand surrealism, then maybe video games are more suited to your artistic tastes

I don't know why everyone is calling Lynch a hack. He's a good director and a chill dude who just likes to make movies that fit his tastes. When he made an "unpretentious" movie it was good too. See The Elephant Man, no Lynch surrealism, but pure kino.

Why does /tv/ shit on a visionary filmmaker like David Lynch who has actually influenced both television and film in countless ways?
