What Did Jack Do?

I loved this short film. It is very creative. Maybe I am reading too much into things, but I see this film as a satire on the hackneyed state of the English language. Lynch is making fun of the way many people speak. He is also indirectly criticizing the way many screenwriters write. His basic premise: Even monkeys can be trained to speak movie dialogue, because the dialogue in so many films is filled with cliches.

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

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.

I loved this film! I suppose there is a point--a commentary on mainstream movie dialogue being so rote that a monkey could be cast or something?--but I don't care if I get it or not. It was just charming and funny.

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.
