Iconic performance. He is really cute too! I think it is sad that the actor had such a troubled life, but he brought all those troubled feelings to the roll of Henry and it was brilliant! my fav scene is with he is making out with the next door neighbor in a pool of liquid in the middle of his bed, and then they sink down together and it is just her hair floating there! Very sensual and disturbing scene.

Eraserhead is a truly great work of art. I cannot stop watching it and trying to figure out what it means. Like all great art, it inspires people to think for themselves by remaining elusive and mysterious. My opinion is Henry is probably schizophrenic. I know a lot about that mental disease and he has all the characteristics. Paranoia, loneliness, confusion, fear, and compulsive behavior, such as his picking holes in his blanket and fidgeting. He lives in this very cold, bleak landscape and is driven to madness by it. All of the dream sequences and hallucinations he has tie into things he sees in his reality, for example, the hole with the sperm being dropped into it is the mud hole outside of Henry's<br /> window. Also, the girl with the puffy cheeks looks like the image of a nuclear blast up on Henry's<br /> wall. The film is loaded with symbolism of sex, procreation, and birth. It is also about technology <br />taking over the natural world. The baby I think exists in Henry's imagination and is like a version of Frankenstein monster, an abomination he must destroy by destroying himself. I could go on and on about this film, I love it so much. It is disturbing and beautiful. My favorite scene is when Henry is making love to the next door neighbor in his bed bathtub and they sink down together into the white amniotic fluid, then she is in a black void with the planet hovering in front of her and she shrinks away in horror. It is very sensual and disturbing! 5 out of 5 rating for this film. It is a masterpiece.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15624572108071334415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5468273120588337062.post-31678403744315029202013-06-04T11:14:29.804+08:002013-06-04T11:14:29.804+08:00I really don't get why the mother kissed Henry...I really don't get why the mother kissed Henry though..... that was weirdAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18051178555536306029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5468273120588337062.post-74567650159583463092013-06-04T01:27:57.145+08:002013-06-04T01:27:57.145+08:00hahahaahhaha That was a weird scene in the radiato...hahahaahhaha That was a weird scene in the radiator.....O_O no one i would want on my bed lololol that was funny the carving line i agree, that guy was a nut omg that mr chef of the collosal chickens...lolTabby https://www.blogger.com/profile/12498446328063811627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5468273120588337062.post-7591986471197058372013-06-04T00:23:21.485+08:002013-06-04T00:23:21.485+08:00that scene is funny... the way the dad say to henr...that scene is funny... the way the dad say to henry that he'll let him do the honors of carving the chicken... and henry stared at the tiny chick on his plate hahahahahha.... but i agree, the abortion symbolism is really gross.... <br /><br />my least favorite is scenes with The Lady in the Radiator... she just looks so weird.... and gross. -_-Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18051178555536306029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5468273120588337062.post-23969440422375093352013-06-04T00:19:38.241+08:002013-06-04T00:19:38.241+08:00sorry ( sized)sorry ( sized)Tabby https://www.blogger.com/profile/12498446328063811627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5468273120588337062.post-8477780867499330932013-06-04T00:17:46.030+08:002013-06-04T00:17:46.030+08:00The weird micro-sozed chickens, representing abort...The weird micro-sozed chickens, representing abortion.... that was disgusting at the dinner table ..i almost vomited :'(Tabby https://www.blogger.com/profile/12498446328063811627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5468273120588337062.post-33776922480940207632013-06-04T00:15:21.144+08:002013-06-04T00:15:21.144+08:00my favorite scene is the climax..

For me, I saw a film that was basically pointing to casual sex, the wanting to orgam, with no planned agenda but to arise at orgam.... Very irresponsible sex, which would have explained the lost expressions, darkness that fed into our minds watching this film, and the many odd distractions throughout the film overall... I feel it represented abortion in many parts, especially the fetuses pulled from mary in their bed and thrown onto the wall,representing NO COMMITMENT IN RESPONSIBILITY ...... Just have sex wth no agenda of being a parent.....Careless..... I think the scenes were a bit of imaginary guilt for Henry because he was visualizing these things dark, to escape from reality of his only thinking wth his penis not his brain ( as most men do) Nothing personal fellas if youre reading this, but its a fact... SO to me this movie represented GUILT,CARELESS-SEX,ABORTION,THE DEEP THOUGHTS IN MINDS THAT SURFACE WHEN WE ARE NOT BALANCED IN LIFE..... I enjoyed the film...... And YOU were correct in saying watching was like an ACID TRIP, I have done acid( BIG MISTAKE) but yes, its very similar..... O_O lol Bravo to this film for keeping my un-divided attention in each scene....Tabby https://www.blogger.com/profile/12498446328063811627noreply@blogger.com
