I’m clearly missing the point here but all I can say is it’s incoherent wank.

Eraserhead and Mullholand Dr. are two of my favorite movies. In both I don't understand exactly all the symbols and metaphors but they seem to have a strong context ordered in a meaningful plot as if communicating a story in a different channel other than plain reason, even being related to each other (meaning Eraserhead and Mullholand Dr). The first time that I watched Eraserhead it seemed to me like a heavy stifling drama. However, after a couple watches I started to get its eerie sense of humor, as if mocking us, our fixed patterns, behaviors and believes (like the baby creature, laughing at the desire of its father for the beautiful girl next door). The last scene, with the same deformed giant from the beginning, trying really hard to break the moving wheel seems to me so important and profound, full of unreachable meaning, like the last scene of Mullholand Dr when the lady in blue hair whispers "silencio". For me, Eraserhead is a masterpiece.

I don't know but it's got my vote!

I watched this movie after viewing David Lynch's "What Did Jack Do?," and I must say that funny monkey made me want to watch this movie so bad. Unfortunately this movie has no funny monkies. Despite this set back, Eraserhead is a very disturbing movie with lots of unique imagery that will make you scratch your head and go "what the f*ck?" Nevertheless I highly recommend this movie for anyone interested in David Lynch's work.
