In Heaven, Everything is fine.
The creepy disturbing song sung by the Lady in the radiator in 'Eraserhead'. I just watched 'Eraserhead' for the second time, I bought this DVD from Inokii about a week ago and I have to say, It has certainly been my favourite movie since. It is a really different film from anything you see in Hollywood and is directed by the legendary David Lynch, who is well recognised for his weird experimental films. This film has a very dark surreal feel and has all elements of a nightmare in it(the kind of dark nightmares that are so random-they are disturbing. The film is even in black-and-white to give it a more dark approach, lol). It's either you really really love this movie, or really really freaking hate it. It depends on what kind of movies you like. The key to watching this film is to not watch it thinking of what conspires-literally but rather metaphorically.
The movie is basically about a lonely man Henry Spencer, living in an industrial wasteland area. The second thing we know about him other than him being lonely is that he sins quite alot(no explanation given). The worms in the movie represent sin, and the worms coming out from his mouth is a metaphor for Henry being cleared of all his sins, and the planet and the Man inside the planet represents Heaven and God. Anyway, Henry's girlfriend, Mary X, invites him over to her place for dinner one fine day and He meets her strange family(especially her quiet grandmother,possibly dead). Mary's mother confronts Henry privately about him having premarital sex with her daughter and resulting in an abnormally short pregnancy for Mary. Mary's mother tells him that Mary gave birth to an abnormal reptillian like baby and that Henry is the cause of this misery and has to marry her if not, he'd be in deep trouble.
The baby is awfully disgusting looking and cries at night when Mary and Henry go to bed. In the end, Mary loses her cool and leaves Henry to look after it himself. Henry thinks about suicide(The freaky lady in the radiator represents suicide, she sings him the iconic "In heaven, everything is fine" song). A series of weird events follow, especially the one scene where Henry's head detaches itself from his neck and drops from the sky, a little boy crossing the road sees the head and exitedly delivers it to a pencil factory where the pencil machine operator uses Henry's brain to make erasers..thus the title 'Eraserhead', I guess this scene is about him erasing his problems away. In the end, Henry kills his baby(killing himself at the same time) and hugs the lady in the radiator, embracing death.
Very painful to watch at first, but it is incredible once it's over. David Lynch rules. I'd rate this film 8/10. Might be a little slow for people who love xXx kind of films.
Well, that's all for now I guess. But not before I treat you guys with HORSE The Band's Lord Gold Throneroom video. Enjoyy!!!
