David Lynch's first project was a short film called Six Men Getting Sick (Six Times), and like Twin Peaks and Eraserhead, it's Lynchian madness.
The Big Picture Nightmare daddy David Lynch has routinely pulled from the depths of the abyss for inspiration, whether it’s talking noir monkeys or the atomic bomb, which is why it should come as a surprise to absolutely no one that the first film he ever made was about six men getting sick six times. The title? Six Men Getting Sick .
What Is David Lynch's 'Six Men Getting Sick ' About? It was 1967 when Lynch was at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts before deciding to hone his filmmaking chops at the American Film Institute. Originally, the mad genius was a painter who was heavily inspired by the works of Francis Bacon.
This is like the comic book origins of Batman when Bruce Wayne decided to take up the mantle after a bat crashed into his house through his window. Divine intervention in the form of the howling wind seemed to have pushed Lynch into the sphere of moving images. From this anecdote, the inspiration for the horrifying animated nature of Six Men Getting Sick becomes clear. Six despairing men are quickly introduced, formed from 2D stop-motion animation, only for their organs to become visible.
