Lost Highway

LYNCH WHAT IN THE EVER LIVING FUCK DID I JUST WATCH Picture me as lost as the highway No seriously, this is by far the most confusing shit i’ve seen from Lynch and yet it’s still excellent. Completely blown away by the cinematography and look of shots in the film. Summary of my feelings throughout the film: - Start: Eh this seems like a perhaps more straightforward and less confusing Lynch film - After prison scene: what is going on - Middle: Awesome metal soundtrack - Towards the end: Maybe i’m understanding some things - Ending: Fuck off The industrial metal really ripped though Edit: Peak film. Been thinking about it more and really adore what Lynch did here. I can’t even compare this to Mulholland Drive or Twin Peaks Fire Walk With Me since i think that all are equally as good. The film is gorgeous with captivating and grand cinematography. The film oozes eerie, and dark concepts. I don’t even know how else to describe this film other than ‘evil’. Gives off an evil ‘aura’? plus from my understanding the second half is just a fantasy that Fred creates in his mind. Pissed off that his wife is a pornstar, he kills her and creates this alternate persona, Peter, who has everything going right for him as Fred would want. The movie rocks as a whole but that ending is fucking awesome and stands out the most for me. Use of heavy industrial metal, the hut explosion scene and the last shot of Fred escaping in his car on a highway. This actually being his last moments as his mind can really be described as a ‘lost highway’ and him actually dying on an electric chair.  Truly captivating and Lynch’s most mature work
