I trying to find out if what I saw in Inland Empire actually occurred as I remember.
It was the only scene in any movie I’ve ever watched that freaked me out enough to where I turned the movie off, and I love watching disturbing dark movies. I would try to find the scene in question but I can’t find it on my streaming services.
Anyway, I was watching the movie sitting on my couch, at night, with my wife. I think we had the lamp on that was on the end table. So the lamp makes a little bit of a glare on the TV but it’s one of things you may notice for a second or two but tend to forget about when watching something. So there are these surreal scenes in the movie with a anamorphic rabbit family sitting in a living room saying sentences to each other but not really having conversations. I think there is even a laugh track that plays for no reason after some of the sentences.
But there is one scene in the “normal” part of the movie where I was watching and noticed the glare on my TV and then, and this is what freaked me out a bit, there was a reflection of the rabbit family on my screen to where it looked like they were sitting on my couch. :eek: I mean, it was in the film (I think), but the way Lynch did it was really subtle and realistic. I doubt you’d get the same effect from it watching it in a movie theater, but at home on a TV with a glossy screen it really freaked me out a bit.
I can’t find anyone mentioning it after a casual search on the internet… Do any of you recall this?
