Some people interpret "Eraserhead" from Freud's writings and doctrines. They think that the film shows the social oppression of the individual from the perspective of sex. Of course, the suggestion of sexual desire occupies a certain amount of space, but in my case, it is simpler. The director seems to be removing the cognition of human civilization, trying to lead everyone back to the basic biological level, and in the surreal black world he constructed, he restores human civilization to the original appearance hidden in his mind.
In Grand Velinch’s classic "Blue Velvet", the director tries to show the hidden nature of evil, with a sharp contrast between good and evil. At the same time, the latter is often the other side of the former. The two coexist but the evil is often ignored. , The good side just makes the darkness more prominent. In contrast, "Eraserhead" is more pure, the movie shows a black country with the beginning and the end, or more like a black dreamscape full of anxiety and anxiety, pure black without the slightest color.
The setting of the black-and-white film shows David Lynch’s world view. The earth is not the beautiful world of blue and green, but a dead and monotonous planet that looks like a deserted wilderness. And when the lens slowly zoomed to take everyone into this group of planets, the sound effects we heard were boring; the eyes we saw were disturbing, the potted plants were withered, and the quilt was tattered. The protagonist has a girlfriend who often has epilepsy, and his girlfriend has a grandmother who looks like a living dead; a deformed, sticky baby, a disfigured singer girl, a grotesque cult person who sweats coldly, and is full of an atmosphere of showing righteousness. Asphyxiation, and this is also the social microcosm in the eyes of Grand Velinchi, it is more sealed than killing and seeing blood.
Roast chickens that still move and shed strange blood, enlarged sperm, babies that are deformed like aliens, and the protagonist’s desire for sex, all seem to abandon all the interpretations of civilization and return to the most basic biological level, the so-called The beauty is gone. Beauty and ugliness are never opposed. The tempting cherry mouth can be filled with slanderous food residue; under the blooming flowers are thousands of creepy insects, but people are used to paying attention to the good side and promoting goodness. To cover up the evil, Da Wei Linqi sneered at it and looked at the world with an unprecedented vision.
There is no violent behavior, no cruel and perverted abuse, let alone incomprehensible ghosts and gods, but they are shocking every step.
The so-called "eraserhead" is like a rubber brush, trying to wipe away all the dark side, so that we can ignore the darkness under the sun, and then gradually become a routine, as higher creatures, we finally hypnotize ourselves. In the protagonist's dream, the disfigured singer repeatedly sang "In heaven, everything is fine", squeezing half of the facts, only to see the prosperous country, which has gradually become the ultimate pursuit of many people's lives. Finally, the protagonist embraces the disfigured showgirl, and the movie has a lively soundtrack.
We all closed our eyes violently and walked towards the utopia in our minds, but Grand Velinch was willing to open our eyes and embrace the reality.
This world can accommodate a great Wilynch who is willing to castrate the peace of mankind, but our government is even afraid of second creation on the Internet.
