Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
Absolutely Brilliant!
It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.
It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
Three rabbits in a room, talking nonsense and a floating head. What does it mean? First, it is constantly raining. The word "Rain" is used at least seven times, so i think it is quite important. Second, they keep saying "Somethins wrong.", as if they sense some disturbance in the force. Well they are animals and animals sense what? Danger of course, and sometimes great disasters such as earthquakes, forest fires or i don't know...floods. Yes it rains constantly in this movie so it must be, a flood is coming. Got it yet? Other thing you might notice is this sentence by the female rabbit Jane;"I was near the harbor after it happened. It was raining."So she found herself near a harbor after something she considers bad happened. What could bring a rabbit to a human made harbor? Maybe someone hunted her and the rabbits also say stuff like dripping sockets, sirens, electricity and oil. What is near a harbor related to those things? Well ships of course. So someone is trying to bring those rabbits to a certain ship maybe and maybe that certain someone is the man in the green and why is he wearing a green suit in the first scene and a green coat in the last? maybe because he's preparing to set sail, and maybe the room we see all the time is inside the ship and maybe the mans name is "Noah" and maybe the pipe sounds at just before climax are the ship preparing to set sail and it becomes dark for a second because when flood hits the ship, electricity get cut for a second and the scream at the climax is the screams of people being destroyed by the "Great Flood".So the story is "Noah's Ark" actually just takes place in a different reality where rabbits wear suits and technology is a little better.You might than ask there should be two of each animal, so why is there three rabbits? Well I think this is why one female rabbit always hides before the floating face comes, and gets candles, i don't really get it but it seems like only the one with candles can see the demonic figure and she ask about candles' place in the first scene as if she is worshiping that face. Plus the demonic figure looks like a wolf, what kind of rabbit worships a wolf? An evil rabbit that is! So i don't know maybe she's worshiping the devil or something, but whatever the case is there is something out of the place about that rabbit. If she didn't existed there would have been two rabbits you would think this is "Noah's Ark" without hesitation, thats why i believe this is "Noah's Ark" because everything else adds up. Except that burning and spinning thing in solo scenes. By the way i think solo scenes are dream sequences since they are even more surreal then other scenes.
Rabbits, in my opinion, is a lot like the paintings in a museum. It is much up to taste, some people like this art, some people don't. But in the end these series is all about pure interpretation. Because there is a LOT of room for personal interpretation about the meaning of it all.My own interpretation is that this is a dark, unnerving and absurd parody of soap opera's in common, combined with a completely new kind of horror, the unnerving, creepy but not particularly "BOO!" kind of horror. A shadowy, creepy, dark, illogical but incredibly captivating series.Each episode is more or less 6 minutes long. Which is exactly enough because longer episodes would completely stun your brain.I recommend you watch this at night, alone, lights off and all episodes in a row for the full effect.
This is a beautiful film from David Lynch, but unfortunately, not a lot of people are going to view it that way. The reason it's so stunning to me is because there is so much tension in just one continuous shot. It's definitely creepy but there are a lot more layers to it than just that. I don't think anyone ever knew that a video with people in bunny costumes and a laugh track could be so uncomfortable. It's one of the most ambiguous things I've ever seen but I'm OK with that, because it is so well done that in a way, I don't have to know what exactly is going on. It's a piece of art and it doesn't have to be anything more than that. Check this one out and I think you'll find that it is obviously Lynch behind the scenes!
I had known of David Lynch's made-for-his-website shorts called Rabbits long before his latest feature-length film came out, Inland Empire, and when I saw what he had taken from the shorts into the picture it worked a lot better than taken out of context and left by their own. The interpretations can only be so many- are the rabbits meant to be symbols of emotively-drained TV caricatures, or are they just, um, rabbits? The shorts ended up working better in I.E. because they could go alongside with the other wild and manic scenes of surrealism, and be in a much stronger sense of 'dream-logic' when taken as part of the completely non-linear structure of the picture. By themselves, they're much more confusing- even as a Lynch fan I admit this- and to use the word often maligned with auteurs, it's self-indulgent to a fault. It's not that seeing how the rabbits interact isn't absorbing in the sense of wanting to see what will happen next, or when the laugh-track is implemented. But what the shorts lack are clearer ties to what is being abstracted. Only Lynch knows, which is just as well. I wasn't unhappy to see the Rabbit segments on their own online, and a few times the ultra strange humor that may or may not be the point of these cinematic exercises. But I wish it could've been more on their own legs, or ears, or whatever. It's not like it's nothing, but it's not as substantial of a Lynchian 'something' as usual with his shorts.
