Some directors take realism as the purpose and make good use of delicate and restrained expression techniques to convey a certain deep philosophical thinking and cognition of life. Some are used to examining and analyzing reality with sharp and keen eyes, and arouse the audience through the deep and cold artistic expression of light and shadow. The reflection of emotions and spirit, as well as the belief in revolution, the use of various technical means to experimentally exert the charm and value of images, and full of sharp critical intentions of social phenomena. They will all be named masters with profound themes. And ingenious technology is very beneficial, but there is a type of director who is more able to let go of boldly playing with the image will give the audience a greater impact. It is commonplace to marvel and sigh repeatedly.

They are unconventional and unconventional, using various details, brain-burning plots and awesome ideas to create a splendid audio-visual feast, forming their own unique and distinctive style and characteristics, leaving the mainstream market but still occupying a pivotal role in the film industry. Lynch’s status and great appeal, the exciting power in their movies will leave a clear and deep mark on your many and messy movie impressions, and Lynch is undoubtedly the most outstanding one. His representative work "Monster Night Panic" "The Trace" is definitely a genius and amazing work that combines all kinds of ingenuity and film skills. After watching it, it is like drinking a glass of vodka with various cool and magical spices that has become extremely fierce. The weirdness was so abrupt and difficult to swallow, but on the contrary, it was still full of stamina.

This movie continues Lynch’s unique temperament, which is deep into the bones of the bone. The coquettish, vague and weird atmosphere pervades uncontrollably, just like an invisible hand pulling your curiosity and prying mind, step by step into an elaborate The design of a complex space with danger and illusion can not help but feel novel, fascinating and terrifying. As a unique art director, whether it is technical use or plot arrangement, Lynch is definitely not the kind that can be honest and obedient. The people of the brand, the exquisite details in his movies have always been talked about. Most of the shocking sensory experience comes from his exquisite scene layout and design, which often benefits from the intuitive experience of audiovisual and psychological effects. The strong impact and influence, every time the climax of tension and stimulation, the psychedelic colors and the dynamic and exciting trendy soundtrack completely mobilize the audience's emotions, which is intoxicating. (It is recommended to look down after watching the video)

The use of various items and details such as clothing, curtains, lips, light effects, blood, etc., Lynch uses a lot of rich red rendering, revealing a murderous, crazy, ghostly, enchanting and mysterious atmosphere, and the darkness is poured into the same Breathtaking, the fear and fear of unknown circumstances and inexplicable crises can be magnified and highlighted. By trying different camera positions to give the audience the intervention of subjective perspective and the use of abstract phantom lens, the smoke is created with psychedelic colors, a wonderful and unparalleled mix, confusion, fusion and richness of illusion and reality, dream and illusion. Realistic audio-visual feast, which is full of blood. Videotapes, mirrors, huts, photos, house numbers, sex, and scars are clues and symbolic signs. Through the feeling and understanding of self-consciousness, it is logical and causal to carry out a story that seems to be fragmented and chaotic. Thinking about connections.

Many people are confused after watching this movie, difficult and confused, weird and bizarre, full of dramatic and unexpected turns. Psychology and dreams, imagination and hallucinations have always been distinctive elements in Lynch’s movies. The use of images can visualize the multiple possibilities of surrealism. Lynch often uses the complexity of humanity and spirit to synchronize with reality or use clever and wise techniques. Interlaced compatibility is like releasing the subconscious "I" or the constantly repressed "I" in the heart, interspersed or superimposed with the real "I", completely revolutionizing the stereotyped narrative mode of mainstream movies, just like a place The broken ceramics must be carefully and patiently found to match the fragments to be glued. This movie is different from ordinary suspense horror films. The shock and fear from the visual effects are only auxiliary. The focus is on the instinct of psychological factors. The pile of props and the masquerading of beautiful fingers, this kind of in-depth spiritual display will make people shudder even more.

This movie can undoubtedly provide multiple interpretations. Lynch just drew a strange labyrinth. The end is not only one way to reach. Different people have different opinions on how to go. In my opinion, the main axis of this film can be summed up in one sentence: a series of murderous mysteries triggered by desire, dangerous and fatal human weakness, uncontrollable lust, possessive jealousy and evil, and anxiety from the male protagonist from the beginning. In the melancholic behavior and look, it can be concluded that he has other good doubts and guesses about his sweet wife, coupled with physical discouragement, aggravated his inner sensitivity, anxiety and tension, and other words and deeds with ulterior motives can also be perceived The abnormalities and hidden dangers hidden in the follow-up development have laid ingenious foreshadowings for the subsequent earth-shattering. The mysterious old man who has not been identified is actually suppressed in the male protagonist’s heart. Release, as an objective cause and culprit of the male protagonist's schizophrenia (by him in tandem and single-handed planning), when the male protagonist finally killed the female protagonist’s friend, the mysterious old man suddenly disappeared after he passed the knife and opened the shot. However, he was naturally nestled in the hands of the male protagonist, and the old man’s identity was self-defeating. The villa man who was later "killed" by the male protagonist was not difficult to understand from the degree of ambiguity and special relationship between him and the female protagonist before.

As for the young and energetic car repair man, from his head injury and splitting headache symptoms at the same position as the man, Lynch intentionally made a similar connection between them, but It’s another "me" that the male protagonist himself has imagined, and the picture with obvious contrast between the front and the back can clearly understand the male protagonist’s almost pathological desire for the female protagonist to create his fantasy (with black hair and blond hair). As a difference), and the fact that the male lead becomes a car repairer is an illusion. The male protagonist’s desire for love but lack of energy is strongly satisfied by the car repair man’s body and mind, and finally the lust is pushed to orgasm, but the blonde female protagonist indifferently said the phrase "You can never get me" , The car repair man turns back to the hero, the mysterious old man reappears, resentment and evil dominate, and then the hero sees his wife (black-haired heroine) cheating and kills one after another. It can be said that the male protagonist has schizophrenia and has a triple identity of himself. "I", "mysterious old man" and "young man repairing a car". The extravagant desires and desires, after reading it from the beginning, look back again, in fact, it is like a big circle, all events happening are just crazy conjectures in the spiritual world of the male protagonist.

From the beginning, I heard that Diocletian (the heroine has an affair) died, and in the end, he echoed the actual murderer and said it was himself, again pointing to the fact that the reality is a fictional fantasy. In the end, it is difficult to distinguish. The identity lens indicates that the male protagonist begins to fall into a more divided world. The unpredictable spiritual world has infinite possibilities like the dark, mysterious and endless highway in the film, making people never predict the next second. The ending. From the words heard by the male protagonist and the appearance of the mysterious videotape to the change from the car repair man back to the male protagonist before going to jail and after sex, it was discovered that the female protagonist’s derailment can be seamlessly connected, plus the middle of the car repair man. You will find that it is actually a superposition of double fantasy. Lynch just used a variety of dazzling tricks (great design and atmosphere creation) to crisscross reality and illusion, blurring the boundaries between the two. This series of events is nothing but the male protagonist's desire to break through the constraints of morality and the reality of physical and mental weakness through the unlimited opportunity of imagination. Through reasonable killing and free sex, everything arises from desire, lust and possession. Desire, lust... and the unpredictability of human nature, Lynch seems to be from the perspective of a psychologist, through images, miraculously and vividly restore the male protagonist's unconcealed and unfettered "true self", through which he is unique. The technique, dreamlike and ghostly, gave the audience infinite pleasure and surprise.

    Sex, violence, money, and eternal themes, Quentin did a good job in comparison. Brother Lin Qi is capable of this, and each one is almost the same, so it is a mystery.
