Okay there's just one thing about this film I don't

>>83723682
i watched this for the first time, probably the most confusing lynch film ive seen, and i understand every other one ive seen.

>>83723682
The question is who is Dick Laurent at any given time. Also, Robert Blake knows a thing or two about dead people

watch it 10 times

it turns out to be one of lynch's most logically consistent products

Once you understand that Fred killed his wife and Dick Laurent every confusing thing about the movie falls into place.

So let me take a stab in the dark here.

Im guessing this movie is about a schizophrenic murderer who's obsessed with his wife thinking Dick Laurent is fucking his wife who believes he's taken possession of her as his personal porn star slave, so he kills Dick laurent first and then runs from the police, maybe returns to his house to kill his wife and gets caught by the police soon after where he essentially reviews what happened in his own head in jail thinking he's Balthazar Getty's character for the rest of the film.

Robert Blake I have no idea still, I think hes some weird metaphor for the director/Fred's memory of what happened where the recollection/scene direction changes based on his will.

Fred is explicitly shown killing his wife on videotape. How could anyone be confused about that?

>>83724411
You'd be surprised. A lot of people I show the movie to don't have any idea what happened in it.

>>83724411
That part was pretty obvious to me, even on my first viewing last night.

I think people would question it based on whether it actually happened or not.

This is pretty close to my interpretation. Pay attention to Pullman's performance when Andy tells him the Robert Blake character is a friend of Dick Laurent's at the party. He becomes immediately disturbed and starts shaking and touching his temple like he has a headache. This is the memory that he killed Dick creeping into his consciousness. He rejects it though. When he tells it to himself over the intercom at the end and runs away from the cops this is him finally accepting that he did it.

As for Blake I agree with you that he's a metaphor for the ugly side of Fred he doesn't want to admit exists.

Nigga, I have watched it 5 times. I ain't watching that shit again.

>>83723682
Yes, he was dead, and this is one of the easier things to understand about this film.

>>83724669
Wait who was sending the videotapes then?

Bill Pull was caught in a time loop.
