Inland Empire
basically, this movie is about an actress named Nikki who got the role of Susan for a film but she got way too deep into the role that she lost her identity and had difficulty distinguishing when to be Nikki and when to be Susan.
That what i've got, but it's not that simple because Lynch deliberately did not give a definite answer. He once said that the audience is free to interpret for themselves. So there is no one “official meaning”.
so if i say.....Basically, this film is about an actress who gets a role in a movie, but it turns out that the movie is cursed because it is a remake of a film that was never finished after the actress was murdered. When Nikki plays the role, the spirit of the previous actress enters her body. (She is the woman who watches TV while crying), and her world is full of violence, prostitution, and trauma. Nikki must save the murdered actress so she can become herself again.
that could be true tho
or if i say....basically, this movie was just about her dream, its all dream.
yeah, That can also be true.
whatever....when i watch Inland Empire, it feels like a dream, lately I often dream, about war, the end of the world, then I dream of taking my mother to the marketplace then fighting with the parking guy, then playing hide and seek with strangers, then there are lots of frogs in my room, it feels so weird and that exactly how it feels when watching Inland Empire.
there was one moment that really made me like "wth!?" when Nikki said:
"i guess after my son died i went into a bad time, when i was watching everything go around me while i was standing in the middle, watching it, like in the dark theater before they bring the lights up, im sitting there wondering, how can this be?"
and then she was in the theater, watching herself.
i was like...shittt David Lynch again and again fuck my fucking mind!
