What were some movies you had to look up explanations of after watching?
Beau is Afraid was the last one I recall. I think it was mostly the latter half of the movie where I started to get a bit confused and needed the ending explained to me.
What movies made you look up some kind of explanation afterwards? I feel like I have done it several times in the past for more surreal movies but can't think of any other examples.
I think all of David Lynch's movies could fit here. I tried watching his mini-series "Rabbits" over and over to understand, and I still have no idea what it's really meant to be about.
I think what makes it so tricky for many is trying to “interpret” Lynch’s storytelling.
Spoiler, sort of?
At the beginning, we see a POV of laying down on a pillow in a dark room. Then a dream begins — with dream-logic and structure — and eventually winds up with the cowboy saying, “time to wake up.” Then the final act reveals what really happened to the main character (and how the dream made her the innocent victim/hero).
