I love how Lynch can say "no not at all" or "No, no no no" and instead of people leaning back, offended, they lean in, intrigued. The man is magic.

Hey guys , did you know that David Lynch got most of his ideas for Twin Peaks from a movie called Waxwork ( 1988 ) ? You got everything in there, our coffee drinking weirdo hero, the girls looking for danger, the symbolism of fire and smoking, the dwarf , the giant ( as a waiter ) and the waiting room before entering fantasy worlds, the couch, the black and white pattern, the mistery in the middle of a street in a friendly neighbourhood, the football guys ( one is even the same actor, playing the exact same role ( Bobby ) ), the idea of One-Eyed Jack with Marquis de Sade etc , etc, shall i go on ? I mean sure he added a lots of extra layers, but he took the basics from there. And a lots of other horror movies, he took the idea of Jody's disappearance and the funny looking portal from Phantasm. I can share tons of other informations about Twin Peaks if you are interested. Im just too lazy to make a video.

He likes to retain the mystery and the intuitive quality.

There is an interview with David Lynch by Jay Leno elsewhere on KZfaq. Many of the commenters there spend time remarking on the audience’s reactions to everything that David has to say, as if they were too unsophisticated to “get it” and just laughing and applauding nervously. Here you have a hip presumedly educated crowd and they are reacting in EXACTLY the same way, at all the same types of moments. Nobody has exclusive insight to David Lynch, not the artists, nor the intellectuals, and certainly not movie or TV people. And that is why he is such a wonderful human being.

There is the way the artist meant what they made to come out and off like, but that is just one possible option.
@margateswede2 жыл бұрын
It’s interesting that David’s works seem to have an incredibly measured amount of classical film school techniques, methods and ideas contained within and the rest is pure David. It’s almost as if the fans can predict what his answers will be and when the “no no no…that’s not it”s are coming and how hard it is for an interviewer to ask the usual questions. David’s work is obviously deliberately abstract and nebulous in certain ways but it’s also very intuitive. Meaning trusting his intuition(s), not just haphazard improvisation. When he talks about being ready to catch ideas as a director the same is true (at least for me) as a fan. If you let his work soak into your senses and let things speak to you they invariably make more sense. Of course, the ”sense” of it may be exactly that, an emotion, a general feeling, a question. For me that’s the beauty of David’s work. It’s never a linear shopping list of archetypal ideas. Usually, for me, it’s a themed rollercoaster ride you want to take again. The fact that there is often a puzzle to unravel after the ride is like a tasty dessert. That’s why I love these interviews. He doesn’t seem to be deliberately mysterious. He’s really just saying ideas are important, even if they don’t exactly make sense at the time. So be open to them. Be ready for them to come, as an artist but also as a ”punter”.

A hard Lynchian "NO". However, an idea of mine is this: Everything seems similar, synchronicity, because there are only a certain amount of "stuff". Waxworks has some serious character archetypes going on, virtually every scary kind of character ever - Jungian "people" that remind us of other "people" who represent other "people". The Marquis De Sade could be Frank Booth. On and on and on.
