I just downloaded this movie. Holy shit this is a disturbing and odd movie. I'm sure there is some artistic meaning behind this but I apparently have yet to discover that I think :s
Anyway, opinions?

The film felt like a nightmare to me, very dreamy, dark with odd things happening which the characters seem to think is normal (much like a nightmare)
Thats my opinion anyway, been a while since i've seen it though, awesome film, one of my faves.

saw it too
pretty weird indeed :) all i know is that i kinda enjoyed watching it, the whole atmosphere and mood of the movie is great imo .. this dark and tragic environment and those sounds/machine-noise you hear in many parts make it differ from other movies
..as does the story itself, hehe
i don't know 'bout that artistic meaning either.. it's pretty strange that's for sure
(fyi i'm d/l-ing 'lost highway' now :))

eraserhead is wicked... one of the finest american films ever... as for the artistic meaning... you'd be hard pressed to get David Lynch to admit to any one vision (or anything, really)... but of course the film is very evocative of many many threads... it's not to difficult to theorize about it; applying symbolic values to different characters and actions however... and i have my own theory on it... i'm also firmly convinced that DJ Spooky's album Songs of a Dead Dreamer is largely based on the work ... there are trace samples littered throughout the album from the movie... and they are certainly thematically linked... and i have to agree with spooky on the dead dreamer tangent...

i've been obsessing over this movie for the past year - i've heard so much good and so much "eeew" and it had intrigued me to the point where i NEEDED to see it.
so i finally did last week, and it is everything i thought it would be. i love the movie!!!
eXXailon: i think the baby's cry was more memorable than its physical appearence
