A dark and depressing industrial town, with the harsh roar of machines. Henry Spencer (played by Jack Nance) visits his girlfriend's house for the first time, but what he witnesses is a weird and twisted family, with a domineering mother, an incompetent father, a vegetative grandmother, and a clumsy daughter. What made Henry feel even more helpless was that he was forced to marry his girlfriend. Overnight, Henry became the father of a deformed child. The ugly and disgusting baby made Henry extremely fearful and anxious, and also made his new wife run away in the middle of the night because she couldn't stand the baby's cry. Henry could no longer endure such an unbearable life and nightly nightmares, so he finally dismembered the deformed premature baby with scissors. "Eraserhead", the debut feature film created by David Lynch, the standard-bearer of the New Wave movement in American films, took five years to complete. Once it was released, it challenged the traditional and conservative film industry at that time with its strong avant-garde and weird style. In the emotionally shaky camera and the dark corruption that can be seen everywhere, David Lynch constructs a picture of twisted and pathological family relationships, nakedly breaking through the dark side of human nature. This method of using Freudian psychological analysis to analyze the anxiety and depression in the human spiritual world, coupled with extremely visually impactful images, makes David Lynch unique in the film industry.
