i really think that people be take the wrong approach at this one . first of all and i find this short film very entertaining and interesting . i just take it for what it be . i think the suspense and mystery be ingenious in their insinuation upon the watcher . one other thing that catch my fancy be that it immediately get the viewer involve even though there be no clear story and just hint and pause and emotion play out by the character that kind of give you the impression that there be a story to all that be go on . no one else could have do that good than lynch . this be the essence of lynchianism at it best . sure and i will agree with anyone that people that start view this with the desire to be entertain without any really imaginative work from the viewer side and will find themselves disappointed . and in good right . lynch be not about that . at least this side of lynch be not . the one that help make lost highway or mulholland dr. be at full tilt here and people that just expect to be entertain like they would watch anything else and will just not get what this be all about . my opinion be that darkened room be all about mess with your animal core and your instinctual self and by give you the mean ( image and sound and situation ) by which you instinctively react . it not about pleasure of any kind and it about get the desire reaction out of you . and and that and my friend and be pure art .
