Davis Lynch spent way too long on a sophomoric, uneven piece about the hostility men feel towards being home-and-woman- bound.
He had no choice but to employ campy schlock, and an amateurish attempt at hallucinogenic atmospherics to mitigate the significant lack of characterization and dialogue in the film.
Lynch attracts sympathy as an underdog, and perhaps inadvertently, enjoys a certain esprit-de-corps with his largely undiscerning fan base. He was and still is an overrated filmmaker.
@ bronze boy - They're sperm. You should have hands-on experience with the little buggers, right? A wee bit touchy, are we, laddie?
David Lynch and other creative people have little use for worshipful fan-boys, as they tend to lack perspective and a critical eye. And the "old man" reference - Ah ha hą ha *cough* *cough*....
What a worthless, infantile, sniffer of other people's b○tţ○ms.....
@SpoofChicken - So TheCrapfather is a moron, for reacting in the way ol' Lynch intended. Mr. Eraserhead himself said his movie (and all the little bits it's made of, including the sperm) came from a place inside him that was disturbed by the experience in the decaying environment of an industrial city, an environment wholly unlike that he grew up in. He had feelings of inadequacy regarding marriage and fatherhood as well.
Well, all that is a load of crap, 'cause I'm not disturbed by his silly movie. That wouldn't be cool anyway, it'd be just like CrapFather, falling for Lynch's dumbass movie.
I guess everybody's noticed that every one of Lynch's subsequent movies has rehashed bits of Eraserhead in them. What a one-hit wonder Ol' David Lynch is.
Ho visto questo grande film insieme a mio cugino, e abbiamo ipotizzato che la donna deformata sia il Diavolo tentatore, che risiede nella coscienza del protagonista.Henry Spencer vuole uccidere suo figlio(il feto) e vede la donna che lo tenta schiacciando a sua volta feti, lui sa che senza il figlio che gli rovina la vita starà meglio..ma non starebbe a posto con la coscienza e il Diavolo lo tenta, facendogli vedere una possibilità di vita migliore (Il paradiso)
Se non è proprio il diavolo è perlomeno quella parte egoista della sua coscienza che lo spingerebbe ad abbandonare le sue responsabilità uccidendo metaforicamente il figlio.
Tanto Lynch ha detto espressamente che nessuno finora ha capito il senso del film e che lui non lo rivelerà mai.
Pare che abbia letto un verso della Bibbia e in esso abbia visto una visione di insieme del significato dell'opera, ma io ci vedo più la trasposizione simbolica e tetra di alcuni momenti della vita di Lynch
Jesus. I had forgotten how hauntingly unsettling this film is. This is the kind of film I want to show to friends, however they'll probably never look at me the same way after.
Those are spermazoa. She represents the ovum inside the uterus, but she is not excepting the sperm so she steps on them. That's why she is called the Radiator Lady.
The symbolism is, his sperm don't have a chance of impregnating her, as opposed to his wife. So, he can have sex and no monsters to worry about. Except.... she is a monster herself.
i'm fucked upp & disturbed to the point where nearly everyone assumes that nothing can make me cry, but no matter how many times I watch this, I still cry everytime. The most powerful & disturbung film I've ever seen. It's almost toomuch for me.
i know. the worst phrase to have stuck in ur head is "in heaven everything is fine" because its like telling you to commit suicide or something. and it sounds fucking creepy, and to top it off that girl looks so fucked up.
that is so funny you should say that, I saw it 24 years ago with my girlfriend, we were on mushrooms, she ended up in the emergency ward because she had a bad trip and couldn't stop puking!
This was the film I watched, all of eighteen, the first time I took LSD. I couldn't make it through the film, and had to leave. Thus I am in the 10%! But you are correct - not a children's movie.
Why would you even want to watch this movie or anything like while tripping? Doesn't sound too fun to me. But then again I'm the type who likes to be outdoors chillin not sitting inside watching a movie while on a trip, bugs me out a little. :)
I know what you mean. The first three times I tried to watch Pulp Fiction, I was tripping! I never made it past where Samuel L Jackson was drinking the Sprite from Big Kawuana Burger. It is so much better to be outside where you can breathe.
scusa ma cosa c'entra la velocità in questo film?è un film sperimentale e la velocità non ha significato..sono sicuro che al cinema usciresti in ogni caso terrorizzato..più di ogni film veloce ma è un discorso che non ha senso.. e poi non era il film preferito di Kubrick era semplicemente uno dei tanti film che lo emozionavano ancora..come tutti quelli di Kieslowski e il cinema Felliniano di ultimo stampo.Era ovviamente a favore degli sperimentatori.
condivido raccatacca. qui velocità e ritmo non contanto dato che tutto viene destrutturato a partire dalla trama!!La messa in scena, L'uso della fotografia e gli stessi personaggi hanno un'impronta surrealistica senza precedenti.

Excellent! They should make a Eraserhead Psychological-surreal-horror video game. Set during the Nuclear holocaust of WW2 or much better, Nazi war crimes such as the death camps and some conspiracy theories that would unfold the core of the game. Where people were starving, fighting , some demons inside and outside of their conscience and the death toll surpassed the human idea of what death really is.
Horror/slasher flicks really don't scare me that much. Movies like Eraserhead however scare the crap out of me in the most unsettling and interesting ways.
I guess it's because so many of the scenes contain themes that are completely incongruous but yet are blended seamlessly. This scene for example. Pretty girl, pretty music + deformed face, critter squishing.
The effect is disorienting, disturbing on the most primitive level. Awesome.
sorry about that comment about the drugs, I didn't know what that was about till I got some messages about it but that was my cousin right before he decided to get an account
A disturbing movie. I've watched it three times since I first encountered it many years ago. Each time it gives me the creeps and I swear I won't watch it again...but it is fascinatingly bizarre...
i'm a lynch freak and in general a movie freak ,gonna study it btw but what i wanna say is ,everytime i see it ,saw it 4 times or so ,only at night ,i have the most fascinating dreams or nightmares ,watched it yesterday and i dreamt that i was given a black cup by some guy i've never seen before and told me i should listen in the cup,beautiful sounds he said ,so i did that and i heard a very strange alien language or something,suddenly a creature was standing near my bed and i was terrified ...
let's all think shall we,why would lynch put this in the movie ,it still looks creepy but does this give you hope ? that in heaven everything would be fine ? that when you die,it's no biggy ? i love lynch movies soo soo much ,gives you alot to think about,he wasn't high when he made this,the most of the viewers are high :) but i wasn't either,i found it comepletely mesmerizing,kubricks fav movie ...
The first time I saw it, I hadn't even heard of it. My bud said to me "it's the most disturbing movie in history. It's so insane that it has even been know to make people hallucinate" Little did I know he sliped me about 8 hits of LSD in my drink. That was not fun. AT ALL. The funny thing is, I actually belived it was the movie that made me see shit, It wasn't until years later he told me.
wow eraserhead is not the time to be on 8 hits of lucy. when i trip L i like happy, warm movies like aladdin or curious george. or better yet, experience nature, the trippiest of all
um, being a regular stoner, and never having used crack; i'd have to say you have no idea what you're talking about. Pot gets you stoned. Crack gets you high. Opiates make you sleep, but that's something else.
While Lynch has a long history of demonizing women, this film is not so much opposed to women as it is opposed to birth; conception. -a long standing theme in Lynches work, who has a deep fear of the fallible process of gestation. The Elephant man, for example-.
I am actually kind of scared that I will be depressed after watching this movie if I ever see it. This little clip made me sad and feel and odd emotion and I don't think i'll even understand it at all.
thats funny i felt the EXACT same way about this film. in fact I have kind of avoided it over the years even though I was intrigued by it. I thought that if I watched it it would put me through an existential crisis.
a friend of mine learned all of this in school, where they studied the film:
the film is very anti-women. the cheeks represent ovaries and the fact that they belong to the lady in the radiator explains that they are being "burned"... she is using sex as a means of control over men (hence the stepping on sperm). the mutilated baby and mary x's depression represents how women use children and their resulting hardships as ugly tools of persuasion to keep men in their lives.
David Lynch stated that no one has ever came close to the true meaning of the film. The idea you are presenting might make sense, but so do all other ideas and explinations given to this film. The meaning mostly depends on the personality of the person who's giving an explination. To me, that might could've been the purpose of the film: there is no meaning and so many meanings at the same time.
My guess is its a film about how people deal with what 'they' believe to be mistakes. For me a baby is not a mistake, but to Henry, obviously it's a big problem, and how he deals with his problem is the essence of the film.
Her face has gigantic cheeks: it's an emphasis on how happy she is. She is stomping on spermcells that created the mutulated child: she's getting rid of his problems. Then she sings that everything is fine in heaven: Henry is thinking about comitting suicide. In fact, in all when Henry is looking at the radiator, it symbolizes his suicide plans. In the end they embrace each other: he finally finds peace in death.
@babyduck1, yes I "smell" that feeling, too. As for me that scene inclines me to believe that this baby is a strong emphasis to the fact that unborn human beings reveal human's lack of divinity; babies without cute look who would be just bigger fetus thus would function as a reminder of that fact. We have to deceit ourself about the fleshness of each living being by cute and naive appearence - just as that (in fact, not esteem) cruel woman. Consenting to the killing of such reminder is "evil".
That scene with the analogy of the chicken and the human baby also got me to think; can you have an objective respect for the dignity of a human being when you are no vegetarian? In his first steps towards live human beings can hardly be distuinguished with other animals (some animal and human fetus share by nature optic and biological features).
We may tread other animals merely as means, but we must tread humans as ends in themselves - this movie questions the border between the two.
If some human beings may be - with our very consent! - treated as nonhumans the question arises: so what about our own value?
We are trapped: seeing this being without any cuteness can makes us feel as invaluable flesh - killing it, however, verifies this judgement concerning human's absolute value.
To get controverse again: either you change your criteria for the validity of a living being to have a value and be an end in itself, or you have might end up in nazi eugenics (as this woman killed "inferior" life).
Either you can stand the fact that human beings are dirty imperfect flesh and bones, or you have to get rid of all evidence of ugliness; Plato applied for hiding deformed people, the church forbade to analize dead people.
But hey... in reality everything is way cuter than in this movie. So that questions do not arise that drastically; in fact to such a small degree that eating a chicken should not remind too much people about eating human beings.
Babies are tons of times cuter than grilled chicken. So have a good appetite :-)
Hm, i didn't see the movie yet, but to me he expresses that for him sexuality is spoiled, since it makes him think about creating ugly things; after all, sexuality and those inclined to sexual intercourse dive into uglyness themselves.
My theory (criticize me if you like but the entire movie is open to intepretation), but the things falling on the floor represent (or are)fetuses, and the radiator girl stepping on them represents abortion. Which might go hand in hand with the fact the movie is about fear of parenthood, and some find an abortion an escape. But like i said earlier with this movie one cannot be too sure.
yea i kind of thought that too... but more like they were sperms and she was an ovary and she was like weeding out the bad ones or whatever. haha. but i'm glad someone else thought something like that.
I would rather say thata she represents death or suicide. The thing she squashes represents as you said the baby. He is simply thinking that suicied (death) is his only option to get rid of the baby.
the script was only 20 pages long =) wich is awesome cause the movie makes your head spin of it's weird contents ,the most disturbing 'dangerous' film i've ever seen ,together with Begotten(that's also fucked up) ...i only saw lost highway and mullholland drive (and eraserhead) from Lynch thoug ...oh well
Lynch is god!!! no hesitation about it, fuck he's so awesome.
and for all of you that want to get it or want that GOOD movies make sense to you, please read some essays from people like Daney, Benjamin there are truly a lot of good thinkers that can help you, but don't suppose stupid things or say it doesn't make sense in a bad way, cause you got in a bad position (you make a fool out of yourselves)
Apparently this movie is not supposed to make sense. The excuse one can always fall back on when their movie or a movie they like makes no sense is the ole; "well it's a dream" argument. I think most feel that applies here.
That is fine if you like it. If you read everything I said you would see that I said it would have been fine if nothing made sense as long as the individual scenes actually stood up on their own and were somewhat entertaining. I happen to think they did not. For the record I loved Mulholland Drive and had a good time trying to figure that one out. Inland Empire, not so much. We're all allowed to have different opinions. It would be boring if we did not.

Scary? C'mon...Lynch has occasionally made a movie that's entertaining. However, this is not one of them. It's completely incoherent, which would be fine if the individual scenes kept my interest. Sadly, they do not.

Set during the Nuclear holocaust of WW2 or much better, Nazi war crimes such as the death camps and some conspiracy theories that would unfold the core of the game. Where people were starving, fighting , some demons inside and outside of their conscience and the death toll surpassed the human idea of what death really is.

Horror/slasher flicks really don't scare me that much. Movies like Eraserhead however scare the crap out of me in the most unsettling and interesting ways.
I guess it's because so many of the scenes contain themes that are completely incongruous but yet are blended seamlessly. This scene for example. Pretty girl, pretty music + deformed face, critter squishing.
The effect is disorienting, disturbing on the most primitive level. Awesome.

A disturbing movie. I've watched it three times since I first encountered it many years ago. Each time it gives me the creeps and I swear I won't watch it again...but it is fascinatingly bizarre...

i'm a lynch freak and in general a movie freak ,gonna study it btw but what i wanna say is ,everytime i see it ,saw it 4 times or so ,only at night ,i have the most fascinating dreams or nightmares ,watched it yesterday and i dreamt that i was given a black cup by some guy i've never seen before and told me i should listen in the cup,beautiful sounds he said ,so i did that and i heard a very strange alien language or something,suddenly a creature was standing near my bed and i was terrified ...

The first time I saw it, I hadn't even heard of it. My bud said to me "it's the most disturbing movie in history. It's so insane that it has even been know to make people hallucinate" Little did I know he sliped me about 8 hits of LSD in my drink. That was not fun. AT ALL. The funny thing is, I actually belived it was the movie that made me see shit, It wasn't until years later he told me.

While Lynch has a long history of demonizing women, this film is not so much opposed to women as it is opposed to birth; conception. -a long standing theme in Lynches work, who has a deep fear of the fallible process of gestation. The Elephant man, for example-.

thats funny i felt the EXACT same way about this film. in fact I have kind of avoided it over the years even though I was intrigued by it. I thought that if I watched it it would put me through an existential crisis.
raarset1 3 years ago
a friend of mine learned all of this in school, where they studied the film:
the film is very anti-women. the cheeks represent ovaries and the fact that they belong to the lady in the radiator explains that they are being "burned"... she is using sex as a means of control over men (hence the stepping on sperm). the mutilated baby and mary x's depression represents how women use children and their resulting hardships as ugly tools of persuasion to keep men in their lives.
airbrushednation 3 years ago 4
if you watch the movie again with the idea that it is very opposed to and angry with women, it makes quite a bit of sense.
airbrushednation 3 years ago
David Lynch stated that no one has ever came close to the true meaning of the film. The idea you are presenting might make sense, but so do all other ideas and explinations given to this film. The meaning mostly depends on the personality of the person who's giving an explination. To me, that might could've been the purpose of the film: there is no meaning and so many meanings at the same time.

My guess is its a film about how people deal with what 'they' believe to be mistakes. For me a baby is not a mistake, but to Henry, obviously it's a big problem, and how he deals with his problem is the essence of the film.

fadedsharpie 3 years ago
Her face has gigantic cheeks: it's an emphasis on how happy she is. She is stomping on spermcells that created the mutulated child: she's getting rid of his problems. Then she sings that everything is fine in heaven: Henry is thinking about comitting suicide. In fact, in all when Henry is looking at the radiator, it symbolizes his suicide plans. In the end they embrace each other: he finally finds peace in death.

Does anyone else get an evil, almost foreboding feeling from this movie? I love it regardless though.
babyduck1 3 years ago
@babyduck1, yes I "smell" that feeling, too. As for me that scene inclines me to believe that this baby is a strong emphasis to the fact that unborn human beings reveal human's lack of divinity; babies without cute look who would be just bigger fetus thus would function as a reminder of that fact. We have to deceit ourself about the fleshness of each living being by cute and naive appearence - just as that (in fact, not esteem) cruel woman. Consenting to the killing of such reminder is "evil".
musterkonsument 3 years ago
That scene with the analogy of the chicken and the human baby also got me to think; can you have an objective respect for the dignity of a human being when you are no vegetarian? In his first steps towards live human beings can hardly be distuinguished with other animals (some animal and human fetus share by nature optic and biological features).
musterkonsument 3 years ago
We may tread other animals merely as means, but we must tread humans as ends in themselves - this movie questions the border between the two.
If some human beings may be - with our very consent! - treated as nonhumans the question arises: so what about our own value?
We are trapped: seeing this being without any cuteness can makes us feel as invaluable flesh - killing it, however, verifies this judgement concerning human's absolute value.
musterkonsument 3 years ago
To get controverse again: either you change your criteria for the validity of a living being to have a value and be an end in itself, or you have might end up in nazi eugenics (as this woman killed "inferior" life).
Either you can stand the fact that human beings are dirty imperfect flesh and bones, or you have to get rid of all evidence of ugliness; Plato applied for hiding deformed people, the church forbade to analize dead people.
musterkonsument 3 years ago
But hey... in reality everything is way cuter than in this movie. So that questions do not arise that drastically; in fact to such a small degree that eating a chicken should not remind too much people about eating human beings.
Babies are tons of times cuter than grilled chicken. So have a good appetite :-)

metricfan33 3 years ago
Hm, i didn't see the movie yet, but to me he expresses that for him sexuality is spoiled, since it makes him think about creating ugly things; after all, sexuality and those inclined to sexual intercourse dive into uglyness themselves.

great20 3 years ago
My theory (criticize me if you like but the entire movie is open to intepretation), but the things falling on the floor represent (or are)fetuses, and the radiator girl stepping on them represents abortion. Which might go hand in hand with the fact the movie is about fear of parenthood, and some find an abortion an escape. But like i said earlier with this movie one cannot be too sure.
great20 3 years ago 2
yea i kind of thought that too... but more like they were sperms and she was an ovary and she was like weeding out the bad ones or whatever. haha. but i'm glad someone else thought something like that.
luckylocomotive 3 years ago
I would rather say thata she represents death or suicide. The thing she squashes represents as you said the baby. He is simply thinking that suicied (death) is his only option to get rid of the baby.

Apparently this movie is not supposed to make sense. The excuse one can always fall back on when their movie or a movie they like makes no sense is the ole; "well it's a dream" argument. I think most feel that applies here.

crinkleman123 3 years ago
That is fine if you like it. If you read everything I said you would see that I said it would have been fine if nothing made sense as long as the individual scenes actually stood up on their own and were somewhat entertaining. I happen to think they did not. For the record I loved Mulholland Drive and had a good time trying to figure that one out. Inland Empire, not so much. We're all allowed to have different opinions. It would be boring if we did not.
