I was going to post this in General Questions but it’s related to art and not science and belongs in MPSIMS. I bought a video of the film Eraserhead because I only saw it once years ago and remembered it as a very odd film. So I watched it and I need some help. Could someone please tell me what it’s about !! Is there a message to this film or is it just meant to stymie the viewer trying to understand it.
You have to understand that the whole movie is intended as a dream that the main character is having. So like most dreams it doesn’t follow a clear cut narrative.
This movie along with El Topo and The Forbidden Zone is part of the Triple Crown of weird movies.
