People generally do not expose their most private, most shameful, dirty, and negative inner worlds to others. They are often hidden, and even deny or distort their existence to the outside world. Sometimes the id is repressed and has nowhere to vent and gradually distorts the personality, sometimes the psychology is flawed and the subconscious self-defense forces rationalization or even tampering with memory.

Why is the film difficult to understand, because people's inner world can't be explained simply because of one sentence. Just like the formless and intangible subconscious, many images in the film do not clearly and clearly express what they represent, and viewers have different levels of understanding and resonance according to their life experiences.

The film does not show clear logic. Many pictures and plots are a very abstract feeling in the heart, longing or venting, and an obscure expression in the complicated innermost part of the heart that cannot be expressed in a thousand words.

The audio-visual language in the movie is also a language, but some people like to say it clearly so that others can understand it, and some people like to say it not so straightforward, not so superficial, but you can vaguely feel a lot of it. Something deep in the subconscious.

    To be able to talk about sex and fear in this way is unprecedented, no wonder Kubrick likes it so much, but it makes me sick...

    David Lynch's debut novel, the expression is extremely formal and avant-garde and strange. It is very uncomfortable to read at first, and needs to be interpreted in detail.
