Inland Empire Ending Credits

[SystemFreaKk13]

This movie characterizes what it feels like to be dreaming better than any of Lynch's other movies, at least a close tie with Mulholland Drive, but nevertheless this movie has an incredible ability to completely destroy the viewers perspective and rebuild it in a world of his own...

[Ichiboy900]

I can't...I can't watch this movie again. I know it would probably make more sense to me if I did, there's probably a lot more to this movie then I realize, but I don't want to waste another 3 hours of my life trying to figure out the story. Please, David Lynch, just play the movie in order for once.

[LionCome]

looks like a bunch of demons to me

[balbanes1]

This scene represents to me everyone who was on the "lost highway" or black lodge or hell being released. The girl with the carstick leg killed kids in the 3rd grade. The spirits in a circular torment in his films being freed because of Susan destroying Krimp or the phantom. This film has end of the world themes like in the room before susan kills the phantom the clock is at 12:21 or 12/21/2012. I read tons into this film on so many levels it drives me a little bit crazy.

[audreydavida]

what brilliancy~

[wiseFoolsDies2]

Let No Sin Go Unpunished.

[AR2D76]

In heaven everything is fine

[BrentHutchinson1]

awesome

[PowerOfWilliam]

Awesome... :D

[vaguelyhumanoid]

Inland Empire has one of the most satisfying endings of all time.

He knew that explaining the plot at the end would suck, so he just throws a bunch of beautiful weirdness at us, and my God is it awesome.

[MrKirdot]

text from this movie: "she has a monkey that shits everywhere, but she don`t care"

[Hoopermazing]

Flashing lights + Log Lady's husband + Monkey (that says, "JUDY") = The Black and/or White Lodge.

[turtlewings]

@Hoopermazing or that lumberjack could represent sleep... sawling logs, amirite?

[Hoopermazing]

@turtlewings I can mean anything you want it to me to you. However, for me, There are too many things in that scene that allude to other David Lynch movies that have Lodgian similarities; the lumber jack, the "Judy" monkey, the flashing lights, the weird music (where theses creeps are from, the birds sing a pretty song and there's always music in the air.) To me, it pretty clear that Nikki/Susan (unlike any of her predecessors) has successfully Fire-Walked.

[Hoopermazing]

@Hoopermazing It rather

[chuyespinosa]

love this movie!! 

[sean57]

monkey-loglady=lynch

[theillfrisch]

0:28 the beautiful Laura Harring.

[Davidbasque15]

@theillfrisch Damn she's beautiful!

[elektrohase]

Nina Simone!!! fits perfectly..

[italeka]

btw, anyone know the name of the first song, with the pros, and then watching the rabbits

[mundanewarrior]

You ought to be praying, sinnerman

[mundanewarrior]

This scene seems like it may have been a dream that David Lynch had at one point. See how it builds from just the few girls to a whole party of them, who all seem to be performing for Laura Dern's character. The raw power (POWER!), the blinking lights, Laura Dern's face...I think that character (in this scene) IS David Lynch.

[irishcoffee]

I heard this song at work today and it made me want to watch IE again.

[videochemist]

What a jolly good house party.

[BrendaChu]

METAFORM did an amazing remix of this.

[estevancarlos]

@BrendaChu where can I find this remix?

[ginkgonk122]

Cinema, simply put, at its very very best.

[jkhgsdhgdhgjklsdhfgj]

So powerfull, like walking into a church and feeling god...

when I went to see it, there was even the usual part of the crowd that goes home in the middle....

masterclass cinema.

[colectividual]

I´m agree with bignosebob, the main topic in the film is the usual religious experiences. I think the film is at the same time surrealist and existencialist. The argument is existencialist (in his christian variation) and the developement is surrealist, or atonal. The sinnerman song, and the dance, is a resume of the film: a mix of sin, promiscuity, beauty, prayer, madness and absurd- see the face of Laura Dern. The black dancer is remaking to Nina. That´s the key of the film the repetition

[jkhgsdhgdhgjklsdhfgj]

what is atonal? been trying to find out.... thanks mate.

[colectividual]

is metaphoric, sorry for my english, im spanish. Atonal means that the film has not argument as an atonal song has not tone. Each scene is connected with the next one but not with the whole tone. Do you understand. The song, obviously, is not atonal

[jkhgsdhgdhgjklsdhfgj]

hmmmmmmmm....thank you man! I've seen this word a lot recently, specially in texts refering to editing of images and stuff like that..

and long live Buñuel, 'viridiana' fucking rocks!!!

[cineasta71]

it has no tone...at all...

[mrsdengler]

@colectividual in what way is it existential in the religious sense? I don't know much about the religious sense of existentialism, but it seems to be to be some sort of a crisis with regards to how to get to god. Correct me if I'm wrong

[BelfastAtheist]

@colectividual

Existentialism is a 19th century school of though in philiosophy spearheaded by Soren Kierkergaard, it is to dealing with the consequences of existence and non-existance of god, to deal with individuality.

'The argument was Existentialist* (in his christian variation) what?

The devopment is quite centred, not atonal at all.

You seem to have no idea what you're talking about?

[womandisobey]

Amazing. Just look at this ending...all these crazy Lynch bitches dancing to "Sinnerman." POWER!!

[bignosebob1]

When I saw this in the theater, I clapped when Lynch's name showed up on the screen...and I clapped even louder when the credits were over. Whoever compared this film to a religious experience was right...my friend and I walked out of that theater like we had just been through something profound. Lynch is a master.

[7lartceps]

I love this ending it`s so unexpected uplifting and celebratory, it`s on the icing on the cake of this incredible masterpiece and it`s a beautiful piece of music.

[TJ68LA]

A great joyful weird ending to a great weird scary disturbing movie - life's a stage and everyone plays a part - and this is the afterparty! Reminds me of the party at the end of another great film - O Lucky Man. The full length of this song is over 10 minutes long, trance time...

[ThomasRedfield]

The weirdest ending ever. But man... it's better than the whole movie.

[cherrylipsbrunette]

I liked the movie even though I have many gaps. I guess I will have to watch this more than just once to start figuring out stuff. The end credits part is close to a religious experience imo. Absolutely unforgetable :)

[spamjelly5]

I don't think it's a matter of figuring stuff out with David Lynch. He doesn't code metaphors into his films.

His work is all about impulse. The things that he puts on the screen resonate with your own experiences and feelings..

[cherrylipsbrunette]

Of course it's not priority!

It's art after all and art should be felt and experienced and not logically decoded!Still it's something I always find myself doing with all David Lynch films, can't help it...Oh well, I should stop and give myself up totally to my feelings instead ^^

You are right!

[Sotadbastos]

The lumberjack is totally random and epic.

[Khatahuba]

very scary, but one of the best movies EVER...

[hotchickhunter]

Throughout the whole movie I was wondering why I was watching it. After enduring 3 hours of what I would call a weird movie, from out of nowhere it hit me. Brilliant ending.

[ldtmdt]

The pianist in this scene is Ben Harper

[donneric]

i just hope its not David's last Phycological thriller

[coaster1000]

on my opinion this is the best lynch movie ever.! i know some people don't appriciate it, but i will forget this movie. Seriously, it's awesome... and its a great way to end it...!

[JacKass00001]

Completely weird.

No idea about the movie, just searched for "Sinnerman" and found Laura Dern, David Lynch and Jeremy Irons....

If the film is as good as the combo of Nina, David, Laura and Jeremy.....

ZZZZZZiiiiiiccccccCCC!!!!

[mifune141]

This is such a great ending.  After such intensity for nearly three hours this feels like a joyous release. I love this movie.

[screwball82]

I agree, he really had his finger on the pulse with this ending. I'm unable to put words to it, but it kinda sums everthing up, really closes the film well somehow, really drives home his adoration for the female spirit

[johnwaynemacygray]

it blows my mind that laura dern didn't even receive an oscar nomination for this, let alone win the damn thing

[zaftra]

I'll say, i'd use two cows and a bull.

[GorRose]

Oh man, Nina Simone's beautiful voice mesmerizes us again.

[sweetasssuccubus]

The performance of "Sinnerman" is incredible!!!

[kortick50]

this ending is great cuz it brings the whole bizzare cast together. plus it shows how cool david lynch uses the same people in his crew and cast. johanna ray the casting agent is the same lady who picked the cast for twin peaks and is the mother of eric de rae who played leo johnston on that show, plus laura dern was in blue velvet and wild at heart. this film is one of the most brilliant things i have seen in years.

[DareDaniel1000000000]

fuckin amazing

[FamGuyGuy123]

This movie is so utterly amazing that it's almost impossible to describe.

In my opinion, that is.

[watashiwanachodes]

i cried, man! my girlfriend had to drag me out of that cinema right after they turned the lights on, a man sweeping the floor was the only other person in that room

[screwball82]

This movie shakes me to the core everytime, I don't even know why....and I don't want to :-)

[GorRose]

How so? D:

[Howrrang]

wtf is this the wierdest thing i ever seen

[GorRose]

GTFO my internet por favor.

[Howrrang]

and u must be a cp monkey being for liking this shit.

my grandmas ashole.

[piero101]

Best ending of all time.

[Julieadict]

its funny cause when i watched this film in the movies the public was of around 20 people and in the end just 5 or 6 were still there. i saw that in the end and tried to realize why people dont appreciate such a masterpiece, as many of lynch's films. in the time of the credits i felt so excited when i realized it was Nina singing!

[drplbiftin]

Just amazing.

[bellaelvis11]

I am confused (as always). Is this real Nina Simone singing? She looks fantastic for a 75 years old woman!

[drplbiftin]

hahaha, no Nina Simone died years ago.

[scrubbychicken]

utterly fucking brilliant

[chrisdunst13]

just beautiful

[Expreserge]

I agree with gridseeker

[angelutube]

brilliant

[Montag80]

Fucking INSANE!!!

[emborios]

Best ending credits ever.

[MattatoioNumero5]

Un finale geniale per un film geniale.

Grande Lynch! Il regista più onirico della cinematografia mondiale.

[Gridseeker]

One of the best end credits scene I`ve seen in my life!

[rb306]

What an utterly mesmerising sequence, a perfect end to a perfect film.

[compattybul]

sweet ;)

[rdmauzy]

I didn't think anything could ever top Rebekah del Rio's performance of "Crying" by Roy Orbison in Mulholland Drive, but this, well, it's still a tough call, but this is still completely perfect. I love that feeling of "did that really just happen?" after 3+ hrs of Inland.

[skprod]

This is the greatest credits sequence ever conceived.

[jsphmerc]

I agree 100 percent, this is like watching a live exorcism! Amazing!

[upicfilos]

David Lynch's movies make me feel as if I am in a nightmare, well, this final part is the end of it, it's the awakening and the return to the normal life. but how beautifully

[Gridseeker]

Yeah! This is the most optimistic ending I saw from a movie of the maestro Lynch.

[WrathGrunt]

This was kind of... relaxing scense after those scary parts. I love this movie! God, I was afraid... :'D

[gunness]

i love love love love love love love this sequence

[SpookyMulderX]

Is there any way of having this sequence without the credits text rolling all over it?

[ganzmiesertyp]

Awesome!!

[jam5983]

Thank you so much for adding this
