Twin Peaks is without a doubt the best experimental film I have seen in a very long time. It entices everything I would expect in a experimental film. It conveys multiple eerie scenes, as well as scenes that make the viewer sit in their chair wondering what the hell he was thinking. It gives you a bread trail right into Lynch's mind. Portraying the things he puts in his sketchbook. The trial and errors in which he has gone through to create it. The thoughts that rattle around in his brain at night before he goes to sleep. It's a doorway to his mind.

The Theory of Everything. Being one of the best movies I have ever seen, this movie also encompasses one the most intense inciting incidents I have ever seen. Stephen Hawking, played by Eddie Redmayne, is one of, if not the smartest mind at Cambridge. He continuously carries out his required tasks with flying colors; however, he does it all will not even breaking a sweat. After multiple instances involving tripping and falling, Hawking decides to look for answers. He later finds out that he has Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis. This is the moment he figures out that his life will never be the same. The movie later follows the track of the process in which he must endure to continue to live. It's the biggest moment in his life. The movie. It's the inciting incident.

Ghost Algebra (Janie Geiser ,2009) The visual aspects of this experimental film make me very uncomfortable. Don't get me wrong, I think it's very impressive, but I'm just not a big fan of this kind of film. I am more into smooth films that don't strain my eyes, for those films make me feel different. Changed. For instance, after watching The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, along with a dozen National Geographic films and shows, I have never been the same. Every film I watch now, I can't help but wonder how they made it. I have watched too many videos of BTS of movies like The Conjuring, IT, and Infinity War. They just aren't choppy and unsettling like experimental films.
