i be go to write an interpretation and but any interpretation will be unconvincing because the movie be so completely ambiguous . ambiguity be the only possible result when you mix symbolism with an almost complete lack of dialogue . now i do not have a problem with ambiguity per se . that exactly what i like about some david lynch film and that theyre leave open to interpretation and the best argument win . the difference here be presentation . with movie like this and it doesn not matter how profound the underlying theme be if say theme be present in a boring uninteresting way . every single scene in the movie be show and the point be make and and then the scene continue for some reason . these scene go on and on with no dialogue and no music and no camera movement and and not even enough light to allow you to entertain yourself with the background . some of this structurally unnecessary prolonging be do in an attempt at realism . though it seem naive to assume that real life boredom will be film worthy simply because it be real . other time the prolonged scene be simply an immature attempt to make the audience uncomfortable . for example and scene eat with prominent chew noise and the tourist and her lesbianism and mother and her masturbation and and so forth . i just figure out the best interpretation represent by be aware of time and life slow tremendously and become excruciatingly boring and a this movie illustrate beautifully .
