What Did Jack Do?

It's Lynch at his silliest. If anything, this is the opposite of pretentiousness. You can't help but laugh at the ridiculous nature of what's unfolding in front of you. Lynch, as a detective, interrogating a suspect, a talking Monkey. All of the dialogue is purposefully delivered with cliche gusto. It's short, it's sweet, and it even has a song at the end. There's no much to digest and you're not going to ask what it's all about when it's over. Just enjoy the ride- for Lynch has graced us with another surreal work of (art).

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.

If you're into a noir aesthetic, a surrealist script, and, yes, a talking, cussing, singing monkey, look no further! What Jack did was perfect.

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.

Dialogue is always pointlessly on the verge of collapse, but never does.
