into a world where the culture industry churned
out products that, as Adorno would later observe,

is really a borderline between not only idyllic
suburban America and the dark, perverted
corruption that lies underneath but also between

and reality. Although this division seems quite
rigid and clean-cut some of the most important
implications of the film stem from the
transgressions of these borderlines. In the
initial scenes of the film Lynch introd...

entire play there are signs of his insanity but
there are also signs that he was putting a big
joke on to the people around him that he so hated
and distrusted. His true character is never
revealed throughout the entire play. The
identities and changes he goes through prove that.
