"We've got chicken tonight. Strangest damn things. They're man-made. Little damn things, smaller than my fist!"
The first time I watched Eraserhead, I felt like I wasn't in the right mindset. Everything was too abstract and I was not entertained at all. This is the second time I watched it, and I really feel no different.
I think Lynch's main purpose for making Eraserhead was to give the viewer a unique experience that no other movie can offer. Lynch uses impressive visuals and otherworldly sounds to create a dreamlike quality. The dream soon becomes a nightmare when the plot develops into a commentary about the fears of unplanned parenthood.
There are so many things happening in Eraserhead, it is hard to tell if there's a specific emotion Lynch wants the audience to feel. Some instances are straight hilarious, then five minutes later, the movie turns into pure horror. Confusion is the main thing I feel about Eraserhead.
Will I watch this again? Yeah, probably. There's so many striking visuals and scenes that could have only been contrived of either genius or drug usage. I'm still not sure if I like this film, but it's definitely an experience any film-lover should seek out.
