To me, a mystery is like a magnet. Whenever there is something that's unknown, it has a pull to it. If you were in a room and there was an open doorway, and stairs going down and the light just fell away, you'd be very tempted to go down there. When you only see a part, it's even stronger than seeing the whole. The whole might have a logic, but out of its context, the fragment takes on a tremendous value of abstraction. It can become an obsession.

So fine ♥♥♥ :)
AntwortenLöschenDaß wir gestern "Mulholland Drive" sahen, ist also bei Dir angekommen. Small wonder. :)
AntwortenLöschenDie Richtigkeit dieses Films bringt einen um den Verstand, mit jedem Sehen mehr. Auch wenn er mit jedem Sehen auch noch trauriger wird. You certainly know that Rebekah Del Rio, at Club Silencio, is doing a lip sync for her own take of "Crying" that happened like this:
"My friend and former music agent at CA, Brian Loucks, calls from time to time and says, 'I want you to meet so-and-so, can we come over for a coffee?' One day he calls me and says, 'I want you to meet Rebekah Del Rio.' So Rebekah comes over with Brian at ten o'clock in the morning and because I'd said to John Neff 'I think she's gonna sing', he's set up the microphone - a very BEAUTIFUL microphone - in one of the booths in my recording studio. Rebekah just wanted to come over for a coffee and sing in front of us. She didn't want to record anything, but she came in and four minutes later - I think BEFORE she'd had her coffee - she's in the booth. And the one take that she sang, four minutes off the street, is the vocal that's in the film. THE ACTUAL RECORDING!" Speak of secret destinations…
Didn't know this little story, thanks! Als ich den Film das erste Mal im Kino sah, wußte ich nichts über David Lynch und der Film rauschte an mir vorbei...das kann ich mir heute nicht mehr vorstellen! I was in a different world then :) too many OTHER things going on to be able to let this movie in. So much has changed since then. Hurra!! :) Traurigkeit ist nicht mehr etwas, was vermieden werden muß at all cost...and in a strange way that has set me free.
AntwortenLöschenDer erste Lynch-Film, den ich sah, war "The Elephant Man". In einem Kino in Luxemburg, in der Nacht vor meinem Abflug nach Südafrika. Mein erster Flug überhaupt, und ich war eh schon ein Nervenbündel. Und dann kamen diese opening sequences, der Elefant, der aus dem Dunkel auf die Kamera zukommt. Und dieses Kino hatte ein phantastisches Soundsystem. Ich saß auf einer Empore und bekam komplett die Motten. Das waren nicht einfach nur Klänge, die Lynch mit diesen Bildern schickte, das war etwas, das dir dein Gehirn einmal im Schädel herumdrehte, dich komplett einsog in dieses Dunkel, dich fertigmachte und fertig machte - ready to be heartbroken. Wohl kein Regisseur weiß wie Lynch um das Geheimnis des Traurigen im Schönen und des Schönen im Traurigen. Jedenfalls war der Flug nichts gegen die Erfahrung dieser Minute. :)
