Betty Elms: It’ll be just like in the movies. We’ll pretend to be someone else.
This film ranks No. 2 in the New York Times Top 100 Movies of the 21st Century.
Every actor pretends to be someone else that the auteur or director wants them to act.
This surreal neo-noir film is a masterpiece in its own right, especially since David Lynch combines the dreamlike and hard-boiled just like what Haruki Murakami’s novels are supposed to be.
But there is always a big difference between a book and a film in terms of its characteristics of visualization, because a book requires imagination, it’s like you can be active when you read a certain kind of novel. Whereas in a film, you are passive because a visual is there and you can only watch it without your imagination.
Both are essential but have a different method once we consume those things.
