Some part of story aren't coherent. For instance, those you mention below are the least part of my concern and actually some points that stand out and are all right in my book.



But what doesn't go with the rest, is the space man and the last part of the movie. Yes, I think there is no prior and conscious decision as where it goes.



Okay, so for the first part the hair stands out. The detached senses of Barton throughout the movie. Sex with the beautiful woman and blood and then "Did you have sexual intercourse?" to the horrified man echoes the same feeling. A detached head perhaps ends up in the box, parallel to the head of Henry and well I suppose that's enough. There, I think that's the similarities I felt in a nutshell.



I suppose this part was pretty obvious. In fact minus the scene with the spaceman, it didn't go that bad till the ending, where it all fell apart badly.



Yes. He can't pull off a sense for the entire movie. He does random things that baffle the viewer, to somehow gather the story together to no avail.



In order for a movie to connect on some level, you need to define what you want to convey. You as a film maker should have a goal. (Or not! What do I care, but then I wouldn't care for what you do either.) I as a viewer, might get there, or have some other perception. But Lynch doesn't seem to have one. And he says he does things as he goes. So there, that's my problem. I'd like to see work of someone who knows what he wants to do before he starts filming.



No, I've not. I'll keep that in mind, thank you.
