Eraserhead

My first David lynch. I’ve never analyzed a film this much in my life.I sat through the different scenes trying to think what Lynch was thinking.He is really talented in this art form.I came to a conclusion that the pencil factory must resemble something like, humans are as insignificant as the pencils.The human head symbolizes this as they use the head as a raw material.His consciousness and identity appears to prove that human nature was never the point in existence. There was no point in existence.Human nature was always a joke.Another thing is that erasure can be an irony in this scenario.It’s as the only thing human consciousness produces is the means to erase itself. Earlier Mary can’t stand the noises of the baby, she can’t handle the claustrophobic apartment.She is trying to escape the grotesque consequences of creation.Her sanity and intimacy collapses.The baby’s cries represents a kind of existential pressure or decay she can’t cope with.
