I did find these forums quite ...

Re: Tarkovsky's The Mirror (1975)

gavriloP, I wanted to write sooner, but I hoped if I waited longer I would have better ideas to add to the discussion and a subsequent viewing of The Mirror under my belt. Sadly, neither has come to pass yet. And I feel that multiple viewings are required for this film to even begin to grasp it, muc...

Re: Tarkovsky's The Mirror (1975)

gavriloP, I was wondering if anyone was going to post a comment on this. Thank you. And I really can't disagree with any of your comments. There's also some really interesting things going on to be discussed with the odd sense of multiplicity (or perhaps just duplicity) of female personality as pres...

Tarkovsky's The Mirror (1975)

Anyone post--or even notice in private--any vague, very intermittent semblances from Tarkovsky's The Mirror in the works of David Lynch and even Inland Empire specifically? I was struck by some things in particular, but I don't want to mention them right away to bias anyone. One very, very general d...

Re: my Inland Empire film paper

I've got a paper on my teeny tiny Wordpress page that discusses the Lost Girl motif in Disney's Sleeping Beauty--my recent obsession with this theme/motif being initiated and inspired largely by Alan Moore's graphic novel and the curiously credited character in Inland Empire. http://inmattsopinion.w...

Re: my Inland Empire film paper

then he sits down in the chair opposite Mr. K. before Dern's character does I'm not remembering clearly: someone was sitting with Mr. K before Dern's character--was this in MTTH? So, in a way, maybe seeing it this way is seeing Mr. Rabbit playing the part of the phantom, as the Lucas character play...

Re: my Inland Empire film paper

Not to seem irritable, but already 30 "views" and not one comment or reply? Come on, obviously I crave some kind of readership or attention, or else I wouldn't have risked getting disqualified from an upcoming Comp. Lit. conference by posting it here. Love it, like it, or hate it--please k...

my Inland Empire film paper

Below is my Inland Empire paper for a film class that I just finished. The paper definitely has some flaws, such as occasionally overzealous language and style, which my professor rightly criticized. Still I think there are some worthwhile observations'though of course I am biased. Since this forum ...

Re: who is s/he?

JFK, on at least a couple of occasions you talk of "L.B." with some degree of certainty--more so, as if "L.B." is a person and not simply some cryptic initials printed on Nikki/Sue's hand. Nowhere have I read anyone write with such sureness or assumption about these initials. How...
