Pandora and the Flying Dutchman

“It’s as if we were under a spell, outside of time, unending.”

i found an almost desperate ecstasy in this that moved me, though I'm not really sure why. a film that takes ahold of you from the very beginning and mesmerizes and enchants you. it truly is like being in a dream you simply don’t want to end. ava gardner is the dream itself, lovelorn, the most piercing beauty, existing in technicolor modern mysticism, under burning deep blue skies,…

how do you even begin to write out a screenplay like this… being able to create what you envisioned through abstract means where others could connect with and form their own meaning from is the most powerful concept. thank you david lynch for introducing me to your carnival of dreams, the concept of absurdity/surrealism that i will always be attracted to and influencing different artistic mediums. the impact he created with his uncompromising vision and what he got out of it is beyond words. <\3

the in-between of total invisible ambience made of airwater…waves. love the consistency in the editing: bits of nature, of life and being that really makes me feel grounded in that presence. the accompanied music is so lovely as well. somewhere in the middle i become float with my wind-borne thoughts—part of the osmosis in the unfolding tide. i’ll walk where my own waves would be leading.

how does one keep up one’s blissful spirits in such surroundings? hypnosis display stretches across cityscapes with impressionistic rhythm of thought currents, layered with ambient sounds—dream with open eyes. by flowing/resting in harmony with what exists and is shown, i’m shaped by the moment in progress that lives simply by virtue of what is, which in turn gives form to everything it awakens in perceptibility. it’s half-dreamlike and half-industrial. there’s something so beautiful about discoveries within the vast natural and urban landscapes that keeps me in constant attunement. the simplest magic.
