Of all the films with a huge reputation, this is undoubtedly the worst. I first saw it in 1977, shortly after seeing Close Encounters (a masterpiece next to this clunker). Even then I felt cheated of my ticket money. It's silly, it's weak. The plot is the sort of thing a group of adolescents would dream up - two teenagers save the universe. Technically the special effects were very good, but used almost completely unimaginately, and with endless incongruities. Loved Harrison Ford, though. And Darth Vader - a great villain, splendidly played. All in all, teenage space cowboys for people who know nothing about either film or science fiction. |

(jasonmayer@hotmail.com) Seattle Date: 28 February 2003 Summary: A heart-warming tale of the challenges and rewards of parenting. Above all, this movie is a comedy. I suggest taking the family out for a refreshing Sunday movie after church and seeing this film. Children of all ages can appreciate the comedic antics of the little baby, and adults can understand a mothers desire for what is best for her baby. You may have to do a little digging, but I'm sure you can find this great out of print movie available online. |

here is a good quote from that same place "Eraserhead seems to be one of those divisive films that one either thinks brilliant or ridiculous. Those who see it as ridiculous are those who expect films to follow clear plot lines and can't handle a series of provocative images that aren't necessarily cogently connected. Those who find it brilliant are more open-minded about the possibilities of film: they realize that a major part of the significance of film as art is the emotional impact that sequenced images can deliver (this being why tear-jerkers are so popular). Eraserhead functions on a emotional rather than cognitive level--it is a nightmare, as Lynch calls it, and as such it doesn't present any thematic element above the emotions it brings out in the audience (assuming the audience experiences emotions other than outrage). In this sense it is much more akin to poetry than to prose, and it shares poetry's value as an investigation of human experience through emotion rather than reason." |

I especially like the scene where Darth Vader battles the radiator lady who whops his tin butt and uses his lightsabre as a toothpick. |
