Imagine being the filmmaker that created Stanley Kubrick’s favorite film..
I thought his favorites were Texas chainsaw massacre, the jerk, and white men can’t jump.
This was his favorite for the period when he was making The Shining. I'm sure his choices changed many, many times over his career.
Damn straight. I read he made the actors study it.
It's been a few decades since I tried out possession, but this occasion called for it. Hope you enjoyed, kids! Thanks for (unwillingly) loaning me your body, Nyx!
Night Mind you can't fool me! I know a ethereal manifestation of nightmares when I see them! That's why I don't have mirrors.
Nice! :)
Wait so was that cat puppet actually you, or did you simply possess a cat puppet?
yeah it was
it was him
"the baby is horrifying and annoying and it cries at night and it's scary"
so just like any other baby ever.
thats the point
Eraserhead is like so many of my nightmares of motherhood. I just wonder what this movie would be like from a woman's perspective, which would include pregnancy, and giving birth.
No lie, I went into eraserhead completely blind, not knowing what it was about. I put it on while I was in the middle of a miscarriage and was trying to take my mind off the pain.
Man, that sounds like a pretty strange scenario. What was it like watching it under those circumstances?
Did it do the trick? 👍
Talk about facing your shadow. Ill bet that was an experience
@@blackthornejoshua2929might be a sensitive topic there bud.
I’m so sorry for your loss. Did watching this film help you cope, somehow? And if so, how, if it’s not too difficult to talk about. Only if you care to share.
Eraserhead is the ultimate horror film for anyone who is newlywed or has just had a baby.
Stanley Kubrick said that it was his favorite film of all time.
It's the ultimate horror film for anyone imo lol. Apparently Kubrick was so inspired it he showed the cast and crew of The Shining to it before filming.
wow... its horror? i watched it alone and laughed my ass off.. i prib need help..lol
@@johnduffy6992 I mean, there are definitely humorous bits - OKAYYYYY PAUL! comes to mind - but yeah it's meant to be disturbing.
@@johnduffy6992 you laughed at a man stabbing a dismembered fetus?
John Duffy well a common reaction to horror and scared confusion is laughter
this is like Oblivion npc interactions in black and white

Cody Woah.
oh shit
jesus, I hope Lynch's daughter is completely unaware of this of movie. even if my dad turned out to be terrific, that fact that death was almost more attractive than raising me would be devastating
Welcome to the lives of millions of fatherless children!!!
Yeah, same here. Hearing the explanation and story behind this movie made me extremely uncomfortable. Kids with disabilities are constantly seen as nothing but burdens to their parents, as if their lives hold no purpose other than to make their moms and dads unhappy. It’s a bit of a punch in the gut, reminds me of how much my father hated my autism, always pointing out the “weird” things I did and complaining about the accommodations he had to make and trying to stomp out any symptom I had.
Contrary to popular belief, disability is actually harder to deal with for the person WITH the disability than it is the people around them. And if you’re not prepared to have a kid with a disability, love and support them no matter what and always put their needs first, then maybe... don’t have kids? Like, that’s child-rearing 101.
I feel horrible for Lynch’s daughter. And it’s hard to think of this movie as some amazing masterpiece when the inspiration was basically how sad Lynch was over his kid being a “freak.”
Vinnie Kohler I’m sorry. I’m empathize with that on a really personal level. I also really resonate with the main character here. It’s a really shitty cocktail of emotions.
@@RileyKohler Yeah, I kinda wish more people understood this about this movie... Like, damn.
To provide context, her disability was clubbed feet she wound up receiving corrective surgery for shortly after she was born. Lynch just took the framework of that and exaggerated it to where the child is a literal monster. She has actually spoken publicly about Eraserhead in the past. She claims it was certainly an inspiration but not a direct correlation. I understand how that “burden of having a disabled child” can be read from this movie, but I’m speaking up because I respect Lynch as an artist and as a person and I really doubt he would have a mindset so...heinous. I think the baby better represents the anxieties of unplanned parenthood in general. When a creature as weird, and squishy, and loud as a human baby that is ultimately the product of your blood is just dropped in your lap and you are absolutely unequipped in every single way to handle it, I can imagine it feels like what Henry is experiencing.
This was the movie that gave me my first panic attack. I had to run in my closet and I was cowering for a good while. The discomfort I feel while watching it is the encapsulation of all the shadow work I need to do. This film and the disgust it made me fee helped me realize that I am a lesbian and I never want to have children.
what??
Felt
The fuck? Well, the unfit need not apply for procreation. Good luck out there.
My dad showed me this movie when I was a preteen. Best form of birth control ever. Still haunts my dreams on a regular basis. Never realized how influential Lynch has been in my own work (writing, art) till now.
Your Dad is a genius.
Your an idiot Butch 😂 best form of birth control was you being not attractive
imjustsaying tho Good, then that means you’ll never reproduce either 😂 learn how to spell.
SAME
NGL, this movie made me think twice about reproduction, lol.
I used to have a lot of dreams when I was younger about small, sickly, and fragile animals. I would have to keep them alive but in the end they would always die. I woke up feeling super relieved. So... the first time I saw Eraserhead I found it relatable.
I had similar dreams - I had to take care of a bunch of puppies or kittens, but they would keep shrinking until I couldn't find them any more.
Omg me too! That’s why I laughed so hard at the scene where the baby becomes sick. It’s always like that.
The woman in the radiator isn't stepping on worms dude.... it's sperm. I don't know why they're so big but I've always been told it's sperm. The woman in the radiator is supposed to resemble happiness and to him that means no babies the whole movie is like the fear of raising a child unprepared
They are worms symbolic of sperm. The can be both its a symbol.
David Lynch said himself that the movie has no specific purpose or idea. It’s surrealism, so it’s meant to be up to the viewer. Not trying to sound shitty or anything but I think it really is meant to be totally 100% surreal and subjective.
Yeah dude nightmind goes over that near the end of the video. He knows
LizardPresident that’s what you think
i totally agree with this i thought the same thing when he said worms lol
when i first saw it i saw them as little fetus things and i thought it was morbidly symbolizing abortion 0.o
"What is this strange and totally unrecognizable voice?"
"Ambiguity without real intent feels incomplete." This is the crux right here -- great analysis.
Guys I never enjoyed horror themed content of any kind for most of my 27 years on earth, but the videos you guys make have truly changed my mindset. The art and abstract ideas in a lot of the great horror media is as beautiful as any other form. And the campy, bad stuff is as entertaining as any comedy movie. Thank you both!
John Shreve what was your view of horror movies before?
I didn't expect you to make an analysis this detailed, and I simply love your new style. I'm assuming that you would like to re-paint your analysis video's in this colour, as you previously stated that you despised your earlier analysis videos. If your intention is to convey your analysis's in this style, then I personally believe you're taking the most beneficial step.
In terms of the actual video, I approve of the fact that you actively teach the audience to ensure their understanding of the topic and video.
You should be proud of this video.
I refuse to believe that eraserhead can be fully explained in 45 minutes
What if I told you it can be explained in 12?

When I first got into Lynch, I bought almost every movie he made on DVD and started from Eraserhead forward.
It was amazing.
And season 3 of Twin Peaks is the most excited I think I've ever been about a TV show, it's provided so much inspiration for my own ideas and has brought much joy into my life.
OrbitZombie i wish i could buy the dvds and blu rays but i have no money. And Rabbis is only available on the lime dvd set but thats 250$!!!!! Wtf! So ive only seen Eraserhead, blue velvet and Twin peaks and fire walk with me
See, I am the biggest coward on earth and just can't really stand horror films- I appreciate when things are scary in things not billed for horror, but I don't have the will to watch a scary movie intentionally. I don't think I will ever watch eraser head, but I want to thank you for letting the cowards of the world know about the unique and interesting movies of that genre. Props to nick and nyx here!
Eraserhead isn't a horror film; it's an *existential dread* film. :-)
Plasma Bat they're very human ideas.
Eraserhead should be the big exception for even the most squeamish of people. The experience is just so worthwhile, it's like how skydiving is for some people; you have to practically toss them out of the plane, then the whole way down they're like "whoooaaaaaaaa", but after landing and everything they're like "That was awesome! (but i will never do it again oh god)." The best thing about Eraserhead for folks like you is that the overall experience isn't cheapened by watching it in the middle of the day with all the lights on and a huge group of friends. :D
Quentin Jackson I didn't know that the movie was a horror movie until I was watching it.
You should just watch it
your interpretation of the Tree is so powerful and really helps tie that late sequence together
Whenever I look at the baby I just think of general Akbar from Star Wars.
Its a Trap
Shut Up! SHUT UP!
Not a general, an admiral you bastard. Respect his status
Pretty ironic considering that Lynch was offered to direct Return of the Jedi, which of course he declined.
Either that or Frampt from Dark Souls.
I must be a really odd person (I mean, I know I am), but the baby is always called horrifying, but I always found him an adorable wet little dinosaur baby. He sounded horrific, but all by himself, he's a little cutie.
I always thought the lady in the radiator's face looked kind of like a mushroom cloud. Anybody else see it like that?
Never noticed that, interesting for sure though. I’ve always heard they were her ovaries, meaning she didn’t have any in the typical place, making her Henry’s literal dream girl in that he copulate with her without having a baby.
I JUST came on to say that! The Mushroom cloud shapes are all over. OMG... It's "Semionics." AH! I Got one!
Well I do now! and that resonates with her murdering umm... masculine virility and singing about death. Many people with suicidal ideation also romanticise death, which would go some way to explain Henry's fascination with her.
Thank you, I finally understand why
She kinda does, now that you mention it. Or maybe just a mushroom. She reminded me of a chipmunk. I also heard the one about ovaries, but why is she stomping on the fetuses?

I was 14 or 15 when I saw this for the first time. I didn't understand it in the slightest but I watched it multiple times and even shared it with friends. Back then, in 2003 or 2004, there were definitely no videos like this around to help contextualize the film and help me understand it better. I don't have any great affinity for Lynch beyond perhaps Twin Peaks but I'll always recognize how utterly bewildering Eraserhead was for me and how fascinating I found it.
"Feelings take the wheel"--thank you for so succinctly and perfectly summing up exactly what I love about Lynch's work. It's all about feeling--your gut instinct on what a scene makes you feel, either because of empathy or because of your personal experience that can return you to that feeling. It doesn't always work, but when it does, it's fantastic.
This is great. I just watched Eraserhead for the first time and "You're not supposed to get it" is a popular take for these kinds of extract works. That never sits right with me for reasons you got into. Confusion for the sake of it with no meaning cheapens the whole thing.
So glad this is still on the channel :3 This is one of my favorite UA-cam reviews ever
Remington.. do we have a confirmed name for Robot Skelly?!
i want his voice
Finally got a name for him. I used to call him Rembrandt.
To me The Lady in the Radiator has big cheeks because she represents The Heavens a.k.a. The Sky. With her light, wispy hair and her round ice ram scoop cheeks, she looks like a cloud from the place she is singing about, heaven.
I always thought that her makeup was meant to look like those vintage drawings of cupid/angel babies with the huge puffy rosey cheeks! i felt like I was probably wrong though because maybe the makeup would've looked more obvious if that was the case.
Cream Not Ram! Damned autocorrect! 😣
She does look like a cloud. Never thought of that. I remember reading a book that suggested she had ovaries on her face. I never put much thought into what her face was supposed to represent, only that it was weird and somewhat disturbing. She kinda reminded me of a chipmunk. Very pretty lady, anyhow.
When I first saw a picture of her in around 2005 when I was 13, I didn't really know what I was looking at. I thought she had fur on her cheeks. But now, I wondered "Wait, are those tumors?" and then I thought "Wait, is she supposed to be a grown-up version of his child that he's hallucinating of?" However, since she's destroying the "worms," does that make sense? ... I also don't think I'd trust her. There are many smiles around that aren't worth trusting - the kisses of the enemy are deceitful, but faithful are the wounds of a friend.
@@101Volts To me the theme of the film is the young man's (Eraserhead's) fear of Fatherhood. I see the "worms" as representing his sperm that created the monstrosity that is "the child. Her stomping on them displays that she does NOT want THAT happening again! 😧
Peter Ivers, a friend of Lynch, wrote the song the woman in the radiator sang. He was brutally murdered years later. Case is still unsolved.
i like that you mentioned how cat's cant go outside. it's good to know you're a responsible pet owner.
Summary
This film is Kabbalistic, I know this since we have multiple Kabbalistic references to the tree of life: He walks past 10 Windows, one scene shows 10-mounds of Earth representing the 10 Spheres, as he walks he steps into a puddle with his Right foot-later in his room he has a wet Left foot, the dreamworld is said to be inverted. He walks thru the gas pipes representing roots of a tree in the early scene, or ‘tunnels of Set’. He is seen carry a package in the earlier scenes-suggesting he is going thru life clinging onto worthless material belongings whilst neglecting his spirituality, shown later as he enters a building between two pillars-Solomonic pillars of mercy and severity or Left and Right pillars of the tree of life, he veers off to the Left suggesting he is taking the Left-Hand path thru life. Once you know this is Kabbalistic, I think you can then piece the rest together yourself).
Erasureheads name derives from the fact that Tiferet/Sun/Beauty erases nothing, hence his erasure-aspect of the brain means life experience thru the dark and bleak industrial age has turned him into a ‘Blacksun’.
Room 26 he resides in is the Yesod-Hod path, he is meek in nature corresponding to this sphere, where as his firery neighbour in room 27-path corresponds to Hod-Tiferet, so she is the Tarot card “The devil”, the opera singer has pronounced cheeks as per the disease “Cherubism”, as the Cherubs represent Keter, she is equivalent to “God”. Of course this is a shortened description, but have the full text if anyone is interested.
Wow, what an absolute delight. I've just seen Eraserhead for the first time, and I am delighted to have happened upon your channel.
The lady in the radiator seems like an early prototype of Laura Palmer-angel in the Red Room (especially as she appears at the end of Fire Walk With Me). Er, come to think of it--the Radiator room itself seems like a prototype of the Lodges.
A lot of stuff from eraserhead appears in The Return: the tree, the mushroom cloud pic, the chevron-pqtterned floor.
When I was 13, my late grandfather gave me a DVD of Eraserhead saying something along the lines of "here this is really weird, you'll like it," and I've never watched it. I don't know why, but I just never got around to it. I think I might watch it real soon after I've gotten over the terrible shock and horror of your video. Anyways, your videos always inspire me and fuel my love for movies, it's nice to hear and see someone that has such a genuine love and passion for the craft and art of filmmaking. I feel like I learn something from each of your videos, thank you for creating such wonderful work!
“He toned it down until hitting a balance of abstract art and realism that everyone can access and enjoy”
And then he made inland Empires and The Return
I'm still waiting on Garden Back.
you're like one of the only people i check every day for new videos. i love this one!
Eraserhead is such a piece of art. It belongs in a museum. There is so much relevance in this movie. The more you watch it, the more it starts to connect. Such a beautiful movie.
when i first watched it the baby becoming suddenly sick kind of shocked me but then, when he accidentally cut up the baby my mind dropped. that was by far the most disturbing part. especially since i felt so bad for the baby and thought it was cute.
My first time watching Eraserhead was also the first time I ever spooned with a girl. I still remember that feeling when I see the film.
Daniel Lane Walton very weird movie to spoon to
Daniel Lane Walton when i saw the movie a was alone in my parents basement. That was last year....i am 22 and also a virgin 😐.
Sometimes weird movies make you wanna spoon. Like, survival instincts n all that.
Google made me do it no you’re right it’s true that when we are overwhelmed we have the survival instinct to spread our DNA actually quite interesting.
That’s cool actually
This was a fantastic video, thank you
legitimately the first video i ever saw of yours nd not only does it still slap but youre still teaching me new things. every time i think about diagetic audio, youll be there explaining it!!
SUBSCRIBED. I actually feel kind of good about myself right now, because I picked up on A LOT of things that both Nyx and Nightmind picked up on in Eraserhead (which never happens for me, and was especially heartbreaking in the case of AlanTutorial, one of my favorite series of all time).
Incidentally, I first saw a David Lynch film when I was 17. The film? Well, it was MUHOLLAND DRIVE! Considering what Nightmind said about it being the perfect introduction to Lynch, I can see now why it was so easy for me to become a Lynch fan (having seen NOTHING LIKE him before) and why it was also easy for me to pick up on the room noise and visual effects of the Lynch films I saw later.
The second Lynch film I saw was Blue Velvet, which was when I immediately knew my dream in life would be to become a "Lynch girl" (singer) which is a dream that obviously still hasn't happened for me yet and may never happen for me (it's a good dream, though).
I saw Eraserhead when I was 20 and a few Lynch films into viewership. That film by FAR resonated with me the most. I cried the second time I watched it, for some unknown reason. Two years later, I was pregnant with the baby of the man I watched Eraserhead with, and was engaged to be married to him. SPOILER: we are divorced, but my daughter is great. Being a new mom in a rough relationship really cemented my connection to the film. I finally understood why the baby was so horrific. Let's face it-- as cute as your newborn is to you, becoming a parent can be a *horrific* experience for those who are not ready. It turns everything on it's side and makes life incredibly difficult and nauseating, step by step, inch by painful inch.
So in summary, this video by Nyx and Nightmind hit the nail on the coffin-- er head-- ERRRR anyone ready for the death train?! It's at the station! WOOO WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO (industrial noises).
Nyx, thank you SOOO much for introducing me to movies like this. Before I found your channel I really didn't care for movies, nor did I have any favorites, but now I've gotten in really deep and so happy. THANK YOUUU!!!!
I interpreted the man behind the levers as being an "Ill god" pulling the levers to Henry's fate and perhaps many others who live in the world that has made god so sickly.
i cant believe you made one of the most bizzare experiences of my teenage years make nearly complete sense. what a wonderful way to find a serious smart and entertaning reviewer, thank you youtube recommandation algorithm and probably folding ideas.
Im terrified of scary/creepy media. But thanks to your informative videos teaching about nuances of film and the inner workings of media Im slowly getting to overcoming my irrational fears of fright night sights.
I looked under my desk. There was a centipede. I didn't put on my head though.
Aw, I wanted the puppet NM from the Don't Hug Me I'm Scared video to come back...
I love that puppet. I really think he should use it again.
I haven't watched the video but does it have jump scares? Ik I'm a pussy but I can enjoy horror like this good and classic not shitty jump scares.made to fuck with you
It's a good thing I didn't have anything planned for the next 45 minutes.
"Put on your analysis hats!"
*Slowly wears beanie*
You're awesome! I love the creativity that went into the video. Thank you. I learned a lot.
I feel like I learn something new about film making every time I watch one of these videos. Awesome stuff
I was hesitant at watching these videos before, mainly because I've heard about this movie and i was traumatized by it, but the humor Nyx gives off mixed with the horror is amazing. Good job!
in ☁heaven☁
everything is ❤fine❤
such an amazing video!! i just got into your stuff nyx and i am HOOKED
I fell asleep after a long day at work while watching this. Thanks for the weird dreams.
Yes! Thank you both for talking about Eraserhead and Nyx, thank you for that last tidbit about the current Twin Peaks. I've been dying to know how both you and NightMind feel about it. I was hoping of all hopes that you might talk bout the new Twin Peaks now that we are at the halfway point. Any chance? Thank you for the great videos as always.
That was interesting and the banter between you and your robot is really funny!
In Heaaavveeeennnn Everything is faahhhnn! You got your good thing, and I got miiiinnnee!
Damn haven't seen this in a decade, still remember the lyrics to radiator ladies song.... Don't know how I feel bout that.
its not suicide
WHERE'S MY HAT, NYX?
WHERE IS IT?
I actually had a spare Analysis Hat handy and I put it on just for this. Best explanation of Eraserhead I've found on YT, thanks for this vid
I literally just bought a black beanie today, Nyx. What timing.
All those conversations that don't make sense in David Lynch movies remind me of the weird shit I hear in my dreams.
David Lynch had a recurring role on The Cleveland Show.
ManlyChicken what?
@@eparigon he plays a character named Gus in that show
Tbh, for me my favorite film is the one that affects me the most emotionally, in various directions. One that leaves me feeling an intense emotional relief after I watch it. It's not the best movie I've seen, though I do think it is amazing and I can't think of any movie that does what this movie does. It's heartwarming but in some ways cynical. A major plot thread is the remaining scraps of a family possibly being torn apart. It also deals with alienation, personal development, being an outsider, cultural commentary, and rehabilitation. Oh, and it's excellently written and gorgeous to look at.
The movie? Lilo and Stitch.
Really.
Under Lilo and Stich I have a pool of favorite films - West Side Story, Wes Craven's New Nightmare, The Love Witch, Tromeo and Juliet, Wizard of Oz, etc. But Lilo and Stitch stands atop them. Always.
I cry 3-7 times every time I watch it depending on my mental/physical state. And I just feel.. cleansed, I guess? every time I watch it. It, more than any movie, helps me through depressive periods.
So yeah, I think the ultimate favorite works best as the movie that affects you the most.
Once again - Lilo and Stitch is not the best movie I have ever seen (though I think it is majorly underrated and IMHO it should be ranked along with the Lion King and Beauty and the Beast in the Disney pantheon). But it's a movie that literally says that sometimes no matter how hard you try, things often don't work out. All while celebrating outsiders AND confronting the fact that being an outsider isn't license to be a jerk. It's sharply written and beautifully animated. And there's a lot stuffed into those 90 minutes. I can go into so much when talking about Lilo and Stitch, much like you with Eraserhead and Phantom of the Paradise. But this comment is long winded already.
But yeah I think the best candidate for favorite film should be the one that engages you the most intellectually and emotionally.
Alright, so, I know I'm like tree years too late, but I just watched this film recently with a friend, and I can't get it out of my head. Said friend is a huge fan of David Lynch and especially Eraserhead and we talk a lot about movies and stuff, so, naturally, I had to watch it. I had like, a bunch of minor freak outs watching it, and a scene at the end was so intense, it made me cry, literally, I've never seen anything like it. When it was over, we just sat there and I couldn't really form a clear thought - my friend just looked at me and said it was the same for him, watching it the first time. There is so much in it - the sound- and set design, everything. I found it so interesting, like, everything is shot in these small places but it all feels so huge and bottomless (abysmal?). There was one scene in it, that kind of struck me (that's the part I'm at in the video right now, I just had to pause and get my thoughts out) - when his brain is 'made into a eraser', how the guy, that tries the eraser out, just sais 'It's alright'. I found that to be really telling, I don't know. Also, on another note, my friend said about that movie how it shows that movies are art - Eraserhead is art in the first place and a film in the second - and I think I really agree with that.
Really interesting video so far, I'm excited to watch the rest of it.
Wait you like JoJo? Oh god this opens up whole new levels of discussion
I just discovered your channel a few days ago via this video ( I recently got the chance to watch and immediately fell in love with Eraserhead). I'm really surprised I've never come across your channel before, especially since I watch a ton of horror-related channels and movie reviews. Anyway! I just wanted to say I really love your style and sense of humor. Huge fan of robot skeleton man as well (Does he have a name? ). I wish I had a confused robot skeleton friend. :] Keep up the awesome work!
This was the first video I saw from nyx and seeing her now still having that same odd, weird kid humor style warms my heart! She has always been great at explaining the beauty in the abstract and horrifying! You go girl!
I still feel fear and revulsion when seeing the film, and although I no longer feel acute anxiety during the (too long) dark, murky, scary scenes of nothing, waiting for things to happen, I still feel unnerved. I freaking love this film. First saw it at midnight movies in ‘79. Scared the heck out of me.
Omg! I love Nyx and Nightmind collabs! Yesssssssss
*he kinda reminds me of jinkx monsoon*

I just became a patron but I don't have Twitter, so letting you know here. I'm really enjoying your videos and looking forward to the next. Anxious for your Cult of Chucky review I'm assuming you'll do when it comes out. Unless you don't like Chucky...just letting the videos autoplay and haven't looked ahead, but hoping you've reviewed the previous. Thank you for the well made videos and for the interesting content. :)
Holy shit, that was one comprehensive overview. I need to go back and watch this film again now.
a video about eraserhead ANDDD by a creator that loved phantom of the paradise?? i hit the jackpot
I remember your first video on eraser head and this video is better by a landslide keep up the great work
always great when you two team up
Well done, really enjoyed this! Thank you!
This was like a mini film school. Great work!
I love your choker Nyx. I have the same one and it's nice to see you wearing it
Oh my god...I can't believe it took this long to realize Henry is Pete.
I actually think I've learned something today because of this video!
My brain blew up then reformed on its own, looked at me and said man this shit is super crazy but interesting.
I frequently quote "We don't even know if it *IS* a baby!!" and I'm pretty sure no one gets where it's from but I don't really care.
All I found under MY desk was Bourbon
Exceptional!!! Give me a couple more times looking at this.
Thanks Nyx!
Wow, I cannot say what was more fascinating, watching this incredibly dark & depressing film or seeing this incredibly dark & humorous explanation of it. Well done
i’m super late but this is an incredible video, it’s like my film studies teacher liked weird surrealism! I love it
We don't deserve you! Such an amazing video, really in depth analase.
the dead shrubs were a general symptom of society. there was also one in the hallway. we can imagine it as common, meaning society in general sucks at child rearing. also, what did he see outside the window?
Excellent work--and not just on Eraserhead. Fantastic insight on how to approach a Lynch film so one doesn't immediately leave crying/seething from frustration. Lynch wants us to approach his work the same way he would have us approach one of his paintings. Ask yourself what you are feeling before running headfirst into logical conclusions. Keep it simple before you quickly decide "this makes no sense!" or "nothing's happening!" Oh, and episode 8 of Twin Peaks Season 3 was a beautiful force of nature to behold.
great video! my dad showed this to me! i love a good analysis
You have *excellent* taste (I realize I'm saying that because it aligns with my own, but that's how 'taste' works.... so, yeah. It's impressive "The Devils" are on your list, considering it's relatively unknown, but BRILLIANT. Glad you're spreading the word on that film, even in passing in this vid) Also, I really enjoy your essays on film...enlightening, and interesting...not to mention, entertaining.

night mind's soothing silky voice puts me at ease, like a breeze on a fall morning.
