Lynch, you were attracted to this because it involves the psychological torture of a beautiful young woman?' And he said, 'Yes.'" 1 The copywriter behind the spot wasn't convinced by Lynch's explanation however: He overheard his agent discussing the commercial with someone else and demanded he be put forward for it and contacted the advertising firm (Ogilvy & Mather) claiming he was attracted to the commercials bold, simple concept. In the whole world' and he wasn't joking."Ī while ago David Lynch directed a commercial for Clear Blue pregnancy tests. "His direction to me was 'Audrey Horne is the only good woman left' and I said 'In Twin Peaks?' and he looked me dead in the eye and said 'No. "Honestly? If David didn't make films, he'd be killing women." Women are the central point in most of his films, and without his "misogynystic" edge (which in fact to me just seems to be woman being portrayed either abused or in a lesser light than usual) his films would not be at all the same.
The young beautiful heroine being torn, tattered, broken, beat and scarred makes for a more interesting story and hell, David just wants to do it, so why not let him? I see his supposed misogynystic ideals as just his fascination and even possible bewilderment of the female form and how well they transpose into art. To me, the fact that Lynch and misogyny even being brought up together is astounding and it truly shows that people can't read between the lines. In case you haven't seen anyone claiming (or defending) Lynch's accused misogyny, here are some links.
I do see a bit of truth in that one could point their finger at Lynch and yell "Misogynyst!" after scenes like this and this and they not be unwarranted, however in my opinion I DO see these as unwarranted and completely ridiculous.
