good idea would be make another film.

I just saw a 35mm print of this and holy shit I never realized how clever and brilliant the sound editing is!!! Also, hearing "Llorando" booming soooooo loudly throughout the half-empty theater within the film and the half-empty theater in which I was watching the film was REALLY REALLY FUCKING INTESNE

Like when Weirdo Dude is at Winkie's talking w/ his shrink there is absolutely no background/ambient noise. There is a lot of silence in this film!

I have to say it just occurred to me the other day how Adam Kesher in MD almost plays the viewer in the sense that he is like totally weirded out by how bizarre his circumstances are, partic w/ the Cowboy; he seems to echo the audience's sentiment of "what the fuck is going on here" when everyone else in the film is kind of acting like it's all normalDoes any other Lynch character sort of break the 4th wall in this regard?― EMA Sumac (Stevie D(eux)), Monday, 22 September 2014 16:25 (two years ago) Permalink

Yeah, I can't watch Lynch without the sound cranked. How many people have totally missed the monkey whispering 'Judy' in FWWM?
― Milkwalker's World (Old Lunch), Monday, 13 March 2017 01:42 (seven years ago) link
One of my favourite sound editing moments IIRC is prior to the scene where Betty meets her grandparents; A phone rings and the sound delays and lingers until a sublime music cue cuts in. It's hard to explain to do it justice, but it's profoundly moving.

I never got that they were her grandparents although I guess that you are right

Fuck I haven't seen this movie in a long time, I'm referring to the scene where she arrives in Los Angeles with the elderly couple. Guess I got confused

Yes it makes sense that the old couple are her grandparents of the whole first 2/3rds is a fever dream.

Diane and Betty are different characters tho

Betty's just Diane's dream self, surely.

They're old people there's no suggestion that they exist at all let alone grandparent anybody

Real is a strange word to use there.
there's no suggestion that they exist at all
they obviously exist because they're in a paper bag & then get all huge

In OPO, so what was the worst film you ever saw? thread.

Betty is the viewer as actor, Diane is the actor as actor. I'm the guy by the dumpster
― mh 😏, Tuesday, 14 March 2017 00:56 (seven years ago) link
idg why anyone would assume the grandparent relationship, it doesnt match up w anything they do or say onscreen. Unless one just assumes they're grandparents because of the age difference beteeen them and Diane/Betty. The other theories in Ross's link make more sense imo.

I thought they just met on the plane because she seems like one of those excruciatingly naive and eager ppl who wd just make friends with other nice ppl on a plane for no reason?

Also standard lynch trope of nicey-nicey white America feeling horribly creepy and staged
― brat_stuntin (darraghmac), Tuesday, 14 March 2017 02:08 (seven years ago) link
I'm coming over to this grandparents thing.
They didn't meet on the plane because the plane and the old people we see aren't real, they are a fever-dream. So the old people are likely to be people Diane thinks of often.
Now I have that suggested to me it makes little sense that they are just "old people" because they are likely to be people she knows well in her real past.
― Heavy Doors (jed_), Tuesday, 14 March 2017 02:22 (seven years ago) link
But everyone's roles in her fever dream are mixed up - so why would her actual grandparents be sn exception
― Οὖτις, Tuesday, 14 March 2017 02:24 (seven years ago) link
And why would she be flying on a plane w her grandparents and then ditch them to go stay at her aunt's.
I don't think they're an exception, I just think that people turn up in your dreams that you're close to but not in the relationship you have them in in your daily life.
― Heavy Doors (jed_), Tuesday, 14 March 2017 02:29 (seven years ago) link
While her grandparents are not 100% confirmed, it's a possibility - and comes up in many interpretations of the movie. Another one here: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0166924/faq
It's Lynch - I think you can read it either way, his movies are good for that.
― Carlotta's Portrait (Ross), Tuesday, 14 March 2017 02:34 (seven years ago) link
ok in the first 2h of the movie they're she met on the planein ✌️️"real life"✌️️ yeah idk they're prob her grandparents, w/e
