Welcome to Gaia! ::

David Lynch has to be my favorite Director of all time easily!

Lynch's films are tragedies about the overwhelming tendency for people to condemn themselves to a world of darkness and confusion, by succumbing to violence and the desire to control others. The characters in Lost Highway and Mulholland Drive create fragile illusions to escape from reality; find happiness only through death in Eraserhead, The Elephant Man, and Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me; or are cynically portrayed as finding improbable contrived happiness in Blue Velvet and Wild At Heart. However, the search for true love and beauty is a dominant theme in all of Lynch's work, and The Straight Story suggests that it is possible for people to repair the mistakes of their past and find peace. Moments of humour and joy are expressed in Lynch's films and he truly believes in the powerful bonds of friendship and family. By abandoning objective realism, and making visuals and music dominant over narrative, Lynch has generated a body of work that captures a unique emotional reality, reflecting dread, sorrow, and, sometimes, hope.
