I'd put my money on the "hint" being that anything in that movie that can be considered part of the overall "narrative" is a dream. The whole thing is a dream, or at least as close to a dream as cinema can probably get without diving into fantasy shit. It's not a dream that one or more of the characters is having [or maybe it is, depending on what caught your attention most]. |
Either that or it's some red light/blue light thing. I don't remember; I never payed much attention to it. Either way, I think binary "explanations" like that are entirely shortchanging Lynch, who's always been more interested in tone and ambiance and defying rationale than anything.
No hatin' (no hatin'!), but I can't help but feel like this is another ebrey Buffy thread. Dude, you're right in that films don't typically provide a fully nuanced narrative story, in terms of writing and dialog. They typically run 2 hours to a TV show's 13-100, so that's a given. But the fact that you're still looking for them to be the focus of "annoying art films" says something about your own predisposition toward a narrative focus in art, and you seem to get irritated when it fails to make a strong showing in a form that's not well suited for it. So I'd recommend you read more books and watch more TV, really, because I think you'll just be happier that way.
I'll stop there; please don't take any of that as hate.

CubaLibre, I wouldn't go blaming lack of interesting cinematography, editing or just general creativity in TV entirely on time and budget constraints. The medium as a whole has to operate profitably, so that stuff is all discouraged because it turns away viewers and gets shows canceled.
