The films of director David Lynch can be difficult to understand or get into for new audiences due to his eccentric way of telling stories that involve dream realities in order to address emotional subjects. He is a pioneer and figurehead of surrealist post-modern filmmaking and has made incredible strides in pushing the boundaries to make way for the themes that films attempt to portray today.
In order to find which film may best fit one's personal interests and match behaviors, it's interesting to play out which zodiac signs would best enjoy any of Lynch's projects.
Aries: Lost Highway
This high-octane 1997 neo-noir mystery film is perfect for Aries to reflect on certain aspects of the human condition. The movie centers on themes of toxic masculinity, boredom, male fantasy, and how anger can manifest in ways that cause people to lose control.
It's exciting, daring, and exhilarating, as well as having an amazing soundtrack centering around metal and rock, including acts like Rammstein, David Bowie and Nine Inch Nails.
Taurus: Blue Velvet
Sensual, deeply connected, sociable, and kind, Tauruses should be able to connect on some level with the dreamy and also somewhat horrifying Blue Velvet. The mystery film takes place in suburban America, where a body part is found on a lawn and is connected to a strange and dangerous gang that is fueled by hatred.
Themes that surround the odd and dark are also tempered by the beautiful aesthetics that are nostalgic for a time that people pine for, despite its hidden dangers. Tauruses should also be able to relate best with the young adult protagonists delivered by actors Laura Dern, Kyle MacLachlan, and Isabella Rossellini.
Gemini: Mulholland Drive
Mulholland Drive calls to those willing to listen closely, take in all of its parts considering its protagonist and the parts the characters have to play, and the importance of the emotional and psychological intensity.
As Gemini's are able to take in a lot of information, they'll be able to enjoy the film as a puzzle piece meant to point out the importance of using dreams and perspective to understand people's internal conflicts.
Cancer: Inland Empire
Cancers should enjoy or be incredibly disturbed by Inland Empire (then again, who wouldn't be). It's a film about a woman who attempts to be spiritually connected with the inspiration for a role, only to find insanity.
Cancers often find themselves absorbed by the understanding of deep emotional states, similar to the protagonist.
Leo: Wild At Heart
Wild at Heart is perfect for any Leo as it's vivacious, vibrant, and about an overall show of overabundant love in velvet and furs.
It's a big-hearted romantic comedy thriller about two eccentric lovers and how they get roped up in robbery schemes involving grand gestures, free-spirited, fun-loving folks, and plenty of ridiculousness.
Virgo: Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me
Virgos are thorough, kind, and analytical. There's so much to understand and take apart when it comes to Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me. First off, there's the accompanying television series and then there's having the patience and cognitive dissonance to sit through the first half of the episode that leads into the chaotic, unfortunate, and cryptic second half.
Much like Mulholland Drive, there's a lot to offer Virgos here to give them something to piece together and understand on a narrative and psychological level.
Libra: Dune
Libras are stylish, artistic, and sophisticated. Dune is the kickoff to Lynch's more profound contribution to science fiction by allowing its world to be as outlandish and otherworldly as possible, and it is also chock-full of incredible aesthetic touches.
The production and costume design are elaborate and properly other-worldly, something that Libras can take apart and enjoy, along with the strange outer-space politics of the film.
Scorpio: The Straight Story
Scorpios are very much the protagonist sort of zodiac sign, finding meaning and magic in experiences and relationships.
They can be extremely stubborn, yet extremely loving, much like Alan Straight of The Straight Story, a narrative based on a true story of an old man who uses a tractor to travel to Wisconsin to visit his estranged brother who recently suffered a stroke.
Sagittarius: What Did Jack Do?
Sagittarians love piecing things together, adventuring, and are overall friendly. They might enjoy Lynch's short What Did Jack Do? - a simple little art film starring David Lynch in a Gordon-Cole kind of role as he communicates with Jack -- a monkey.
It's silly and odd, and appealing to everyone without sacrificing personality, just like Sagittarians.
Capricorn: The Grandmother
The Grandmother will definitely appeal to all Earth signs, considering it's a short about the creation of a kind grandmother after being planted in the ground by a young, abused boy.
Capricorns create and strategize in order to cultivate an environment and situation they can work with, much like the boy does in The Grandmother.
Aquarius: Eraserhead
Aquarians are humanitarians, they're creative, and they can miss certain things in trying for their goals.
They might have something to gain from watching Eraserhead, a film about how industry and suburban expectations in deteriorating classes can affect people psychologically, as well as the idea of how parenthood and self-sacrifice can override the needs of others.
Pisces: The Elephant Man
A film that directly aims to make its audiences far more empathetic, much like how Pisces already are, The Elephant Man is about the real-life Joseph Merrick, a young man who lived with Proteus Syndrome, a rare condition that causes the overgrowth of various tissues of the body.
The film chronicles how he was exploited for money and yet continued to forge relationships through his kindness, a quality extremely important to Pisces.
