Confusing The Audience And Getting Away With It
Tom Jolliffe on the art of confusing an audience and getting praised for it….
Cinema and TV is full of fine margins. There’s a real artistry in how a film (or show) can manipulate the viewer. As a viewer you are taken on a journey. Sometimes said journey is simple. A to B to C. A simple quest, an expected ending. When Jean-Claude Van Damme starts his journey in the Kumite, we know how the film will end. We usually know the beats as they happen. What about when you sit through a David Lynch film or TV show? Perhaps to some, that journey, with a vague route through from beginning to end, is frustrating. In the end though, Lynch gathers up fans, cult appeal and enthralls audiences, even when he agitates them.
