I was in the audience for this, December 1984! I'd just turned 17, and got his autograph afterwards. I was sitting just behind Rafaella De Laurentiis....
The first David Lynch movie I seen was Dune and that was when I was younger I didn’t know until today that he directed it I recently got interested in his work and philosophy about transcendental meditation. Also noticed he uses that same actor and most of his movies. The guy from Twin Peaks
Not sure whether I should tell you this, but a version of the script is available online. The little bit I've read, just the beginning, has kind of an "Eraserhead meets Blade Runner" feeling.
Auty gets it wrong at the beginning: THE ELEPHANT MAN got loads of Oscar nominations, but didn't win a single one! It mostly all went to ORDINARY PEOPLE, shame!
It's crazy he said the idea of Blue Velvet came from sneaking into a girls room and spying on them and that turns out to be the best scene of the movie and one of the best scenes of any movie.
It's common knowledge that Mr Lynch isn't happy with his Dune work : I wonder if he considers it at all 'saveable' ? (either via editing, or inserting extra cuts not used etc etc) Love to see him (even) try to redeem Dune (as the one film he's really unhappy about/ unsatisfied with in his entire filmography)
He's stated that he could never authorize a "director's cut" because he was never allowed to film the sequences he felt were indispensable to the story. He kept his name on the final cut as a favor to Rafella DeLaurentis but wanted to use the "Alan Smithee" pseudonym originally. He later used it for the extended TV version which credited the director as Alan Smithee.
@@RockandrollNegro hes psycho. I believe. Sitting abdolutely happy here tslking about Dune and 20 years later cant say 2 words about it cause he :immencely hate it".
Well... they've given him a Best Picture prize and a Best Director prize since then, so... I guess it tells us that film festivals are constantly evolving institutions. And that some artists take a while to be fully appreciated.
David, your moving art starts out so creative, colorful, wonderful, modern and lovely and then it becomes a horror film why is that? Why do you always make something pretty turn into something so negative? Why not leave it colorful and happy? I don't get it man. There must be an emotional story behind it.

Jealous!
i love his voice so much
It's weird how his actual persona is so placid and mild compared to his works
Rejected by Cannes & The New York Film Festival....very nice.
This says Lynch was "born in the mid-50s". He was born in 1946.
In fairness he's always looked about 10 years younger than his actual age

This is my first hearing of Ronny Rocket, sounds like it would've been cool.

"if the man is ever bit as strange as his movies" yes
This is interesting because it is before his real masterpiece twin peaks and a lot of his best ones
You mean before his masterpiece Blue Velvet :)
And his opus Mulholland Drive.
Wow David, huge hair.
It's crazy he said the idea of Blue Velvet came from sneaking into a girls room and spying on them and that turns out to be the best scene of the movie and one of the best scenes of any movie.
same fucking guy he is now but looks younger. not always the norm
I'd really love to see a biographical feature film based on Lynch's early days, no one could really play him though.
And now we have The Art Life!
Leo!
@martinarreola64 no not leo. Hes a good actor but its not a fit. 6 year old comment haha
For someone like David Lynch, that sounds genuinely awful.
wow, that millionaire knew how to invest...
God bless him! Who is it?
TRUMP
Awwww! So young, so callow!

The man got rejected from cannes. Tells you a lot about cannes?

i think he loved the emotion "fear" more
It’s all beautiful if you look at it right.
@@krishnavamsi4102 It is very apparent that he was very traumatized as a child and that fear theme comes through in his art expressions.
