What the fuck was that? Why does nobody talk about this movie? That was the most emotional thing I've ever seen put to film. I just watched Eraserhead last night, and it was like an actual nightmare put to film and now this? I'm going to watch Blue Velvet in a bit but I was not expecting this from The Elephant Man. What an emotionally manipulative movie. In a good way.
David Lynch Thread: Elephant Man edition
>"I've tried so hard to be good"
m-me too elephant dude, me too
It's a metaphor for the ugliness inside each of us. There you go.
Well obviously at least in part. It was still incredibly effective
>here it is tied up in a bow now talk about nothing
Fuck off. What can I expect from Blue Velvet? Is it dreamy?
Blue Velvet is more his unique style, Elephant Man was kind of 'standard'
It had too much melodrama, and not in a Lynchian way. My least favorite Lynch film
i am actively trying to get david lynch sick through purely mean spirited thought i spend my entire nights alone in my room thinking bad thing about him. will this work? will he be sick due to my active negative thoughts?
10/10 tearjerker
Elephant Man is maybe Lynch's lowest IQ film. "Appeal to emotion" is always quite pathetic in my eyes.
I have only seen the first two seasons of twin peaks and now Eraserhead and Elephant Man. So I guess this will be my first real intro to "his style". Elephant Man was the saddest thing I've ever seen.
>When he talks about how proud us mom would be that he had such nice friends
why didn't you just post the copypasta? it's already written for you
Sure but it was pretty damn effective. What are some other emotionally manipulative films, user? Not being a dick I'm genuinely curious.
I'm continuing my extreme negative thoughts towards David Lynch trying to get him sick. I can tell he is not as powerful as me and I believe he is getting weaker by the day. Tonight I will spend the next 24 hours thinking the meanest thoughts about David while secluded in my room.
I am moving forward with my barrage of extreme negative thoughts towards David Lynch with the end goal of getting him sick. I felt him get weaker last night. I thought negative thoughts about him for 32 hours straight yesterday. I admit I am somewhat exhausted, but I will stop him in his path. I can tell he is nowhere near as powerful as he lets on.
Every night this month I have spent not sleeping and only thinking mean thoughts about David Lynch to try to get him sick with the negative energy. I can feel him in my fabric. He is weak. Tonight I will begin my largest barrage of mean thoughts towards him. 30 minutes from now at 10:52 PM EST I will begin my mental assault and I will not let up until September 8th 10:52 PM EST.
My quest to make David Lynch sick by thinking mean thoughts about him for days at a time has come to a head. I spent the last 36 hours in my room isolated thinking bad thoughts about David Lynch to make him sick and I successfully did so but afterwards I took a nap and had a massive seizure in my sleep. My mom found me and I am in the hospital now. I will attempt to use the hospital equipment to channel negative energy to put toward David Lynch.
Films are not high iq medium on its own.go read literature if you care this much.
In my attempt to make David Lynch sick by thinking mean thoughts about him landed me in the hospital due to a fairly damaging seizure. I was in the hospital for 3 days only thinking a happy thoughts about me and stealing any sort of medical equipment I could find and I have about two bags full of hospital equipment now. Tonight I am back home and I will hook up all of the hospital tools and start thinking negative thoughts about David Lynch again. The 3 days should have rested me and tonight I will use these heartbeat monitors and toilet things to have extreme negative energy.

Try this
So this is the movie that image comes from. Regardless of context that's a gorgeous shot
Still has a better chance of having sex than an imageboard janitor.
Damn
Reminder for newfags
Eraserhead is one of my favorite movies, but I absolutely hated blue velvet. That opening shot that zooms in on the insects is the best part, it just nosedives from there. I didn't give a shit about any of the characters. Mulholland drive was also unbearably pretentious, but it pulled it off better than blue velvet
Twin peaks started off excellent and gradually got worse, the Bob reveal killed the whole thing. Bob is a dumb concept and the guy they use to play him looks like fucking Ernest, it destroyed the atmosphere they spent so long developing
