Someone remind me why I’d want to read the shooting script of a film I have seen more times than any other film. Why? I saw it on the shelf next to another book and grabbed it on a whim. I finished but the law of diminishing returns was definitely in effect.
Takeaways / Fissures:
1)
I remember there was some buzz around the publication of this script because of a revealing (at least by Lynch standards) interview with David Lynch serving as front matter. At the time, everyone just wanted to know “wh ...more

fascinating to read. always been one of my favorite movies. i was kinda scared to read it for fear of having another miserable 2001: A Space Odyssey experience. but it wasn't like that; nothing is ruined or over-explained. it does add some definition here and there but it's all welcome and interesting. it also points up what a great director lynch is; it's not lifeless on the page but it's clearly just a blueprint... have to watch the movie again sometime soon.

Having watched the movie about a million times and only having my own interpretation of what it's about, I was hoping reading the script would clear things up a bit; it didn't. There are a few scenes that got cut from the movie that don't really add to the story or explain anything more, but they are interesting nonetheless. This movie continues to be my favorite David Lynch film and reading the original script further cements my love for it.

فقط میتونم بگم دنیای دیوید لینچ خیلی عجیبتر از اون چیزی هست که بتونم به راحتی باهاش ارتباط بگیرم ....
فیلمنامه تقریباً به ۳ قسمت تقسیم شده بود و میشه حتی گفت که هر بخش ، داستان مستقل خودش را روایت میکرد ، به شخصه بخش اول رو بیشتر دوست داشتم
به نظرم اگه واقعا مخاطب دیوید لینچ هستید و قصد دارید با مفاهیم فکری کارگردان ارتباط بگیرید ، حداقل باید چندبار فیلمنامه رو بخونید و ساعتها فکر کنید تا شاید در پایان ، مطلبی دستگیرتان شد :))

Born in precisely the kind of small-town American setting so familiar from his films, David Lynch spent his childhood being shunted from one state to another as his research scientist father kept getting relocated. He attended various art schools, married, and fathered future director Jennifer Chambers Lynch shortly after he turned 21. That experience, plus attending art school in a particularly v
