All I have to say about this movie is that during the "Silencio" scene when that girl is singing I wanted to fucking kill myself at how annoying, boring, and stupid it was.

I was about to break my fucking tv.

Cool movie, yeah after you read all the shit about what actually happened in it. Cool, but I shouldn't have to read about it to understand it. You have to be a rocket scientist to put it all together.

Thats my favourite scene in the film. I thought it was mesmerising and hypnotic, and for some reason, shocking.

And I dont think you need a good head on your shoulders to figure out the film, the plot is pretty much summed up in one sentence. But its very nice to make some of your own little assumptions throughout the film.

Thats the turning point of the entire movie and the key scene to "understand" the plot ( understand = feel because i think on Lynch movies you have to get a feeling of the plot, rationalizing it is pointless ).

I suggest avoiding movies without linear, comprehensible or understandeable plot in the future. Just because Lynch made it big doesnt means his style and aproach to film making is for everyone, in fact many people would avoid the film altogheter if it was in french, by an unknown european director and critically aclaimed as an art house cinema film.

The problem is that hollywood is not quite ready to sit down and digest it.
