Re: Rate The Last Movie You Watched.
Finally found Fire Walk With Me.
On one hand, I hated it. It didn't offer me anything I didn't know, it had scenes, which had zero purpose (David Bowie), added subplots which never mattered due to behind the scenes issues, and at the end, I felt somewhat empty.
On the OTHER hand, I felt like it was a powerful film, with some amazing, AMAZING visuals, and some really interesting metaphoric ideas. While it wasn't new, I was still interested in what went on during Laura's last days. And the weirdness was just incredibly provocative. So i'm left in the middle. Overall, I didn't totally hate it, but there's still a lot I didn't like...and I know this was his intention, but the film simply wasn't funny enough. And I missed that little comedic edge. Just wasn't here.
I don't want to write it off as "confusing crap!" because, while i'm not as familiar with Lynchian stuff, I can appreciate who he is, and that he doesn't do anything for no reason. But maybe someone can help me understand what some of these missing pieces were. It's almost like Lynch wanted to do one movie, and then the other, and it ends up being off putting due to that story line never finishing. (the FBI agent).
But I do feel like it was a nice companion piece to the show. It's not important, but you can watch it to get more. I just wish I liked it better. Maybe with more viewings?
