This finally came out on DVD and I watched it today. There's only one way to explain how this movie happened: David Lynch was huffing paint. I don't think anything else could screw a person's brain up to the degree that they would write and direct such a creepy movie. It's about a guy in the future who gets his girlfriend pregnant and she gives birth to a mutant baby that looks like a skinless baby cow. He hallucinates about snake creatures and his head being made into erasers for pencils. Then he kills the baby with a scissors. The End.
P.S. There are tiny chickens that dance after they are cooked and spew slime.
Well i guess we won't ever know what goes on in Lynch's head, but how do you know that he was huffing paint
This is a science fiction film about an f'd up post-apocolyptic future, but moreso, it is a film that critiques our society and how some people cannot tolorate differences.... maybe it goes to show an undeniable truth in life that no matter how tolerable you are, you are never without error. In this case, Jack Nance gets his girlfriend pregnet and she ends up not being able to handle the fact she gives birth to a mutant.... where as Jack (that's his name in the movie right, it's been too long?) does his best, but ultimately can't handle his child, not because he doesn't love it, but because the bleak world he lives in doesn't allow him to see the beauty in differences.
I mean it kind of makes sense seeing as the characters all live in a sad world that has been overrun by war and violence... probably by those who couldn't accept diversity.
I like it... a good movie
and FYI, you can buy the box set off of David Lynch's website... or can snag the DVD around town for $20 bucks or so.
