    Character Evaluation

    David Lynch is a representative of contemporary American non-mainstream films. His films are unique in the movie world with their gorgeous, gloomy, weird style with black humor. He often uses Freud's psychological analysis in the format of road films to show the anxiety and depression of modern people. His freely roaming between reality and surreal, his bold expressions of violence and sex, and the avant-garde, bizarre, and highly visually impactful images all make his works exude a unique personal charm. He is particularly good at making full use of the elements of genre movies, disassembling genre movies into fragments and then mixing them with allegorical stylization, showing the postmodernist artistic style in the game-like creative process . At the same time, he is also an all-rounder in the contemporary American film industry. He maintains an easy balance between mainstream and surrealism. He ruthlessly exposes the dark and extremely violent aspects of real life on the screen, so that his works are distributed. A unique personal charm .

             When I went home for dinner with my family last year, someone gave my cousin a Fuji Polaroid as a birthday present. The cousin was born in the 80s. She casually asked what...

    Side by Side quotes

    • Martin Scorsese: The problem for me is that I still think you need to see rushes later in order to concentrate with the performances or just the movement. I still think you need to see them at a special time.

    • Charles Herzfeld: The process of shooting film was the Director of Photography's art and secret, and today the cinematographer is monitored on a digital shoot and everything that they're doing can be seen criticised and question.
