What Did Jack Do?

Well leave it up to David Lynch as he has done it again make some work that entertains and twist in a funny and strange way. "What Did Jack Do?" which is a "Netflix" exclusive features Lynch himself as a detective hot on a case and he's interviewing his suspect however that is "Jack" and he's a little monkey! The script is funny and strange with foul words and the monkey remembering the past as he sings, shot in black and white to give a real throwback mystery type feel this short entertains and delivers!

Big David Lynch fan. Most of the time i dont understand a thing of what is going in his movies, but still find myself entertained. I often wonder if the weirdest scenes have a point or if he doesnt care. Nevertheless, its always nice and sometimes hilarious to watch these things. What did Jack do has all of that. Certainly, it isnt a waist of time. to be honest, i Think most of us could use a little weirdness, in todays market of satiretegninger superhelt movies and other uninspiring movie media. As for the movie itself, i have absolutely nothing to add, except the monkey is kind of cute.

I'm not sure what i just watched. I'm not sure if i liked it or not. I'm not sure I'm going to trust my brother when he tells me what to watch on Netflix ever again. However i feel a bit like something very important happened in my life in the past 17 minutes.

I love every minute out of that short. Why? Let me explain. It gives us a simple story, a cop who questions a bad guy who did something bad, seems familiar? That's because it's meant to be like that! Lynch is exposing that cliche dialogue scene, which is used in every crime movie. This quick scene uses absurd to critique the language of cinema and give us some good laughs.

Of course there are people who don't like his humor, but I'd heard they've been seen with chickens.

This short film is incredibly Lynchian. It's purely a signature of style, and I mean that in the most positive way possible. However, I can't help but wonder, if this short came from anyone else who lacked the renown which Lynch has, would it be viewed as anything more than a peculiar piece that you pass by after five minutes? It's good in its eerie, dream-like quality, truly, but I'm torn as to whether this is noteworthy solely because of what it is in style or simply because of who made it--content aside. I suppose I'm at a stalemate of neutrality on this one. Draw your own conclusions, and I hope you enjoy, either way!
