1. when is the plot taking place, the 50s-60s, or what?
2. when jeffery wakes up from his dream of dorothy screaming out loud, he looks up at the wall at something... wtf is that? some kind of dream catcher?
3. is it just me or is one of the persons sitting on a couch at ben's place wearing a sack over his/her head?
4. why did frank kill "the yellow man"? did he by any chance happen to walk in on him and dorothy? lol.

i always thought it took place the film was being made....the way Lynch does the settings does have an old school sort of vibe about it....but thats just me
I feel it's made to be "Anytown, America, Anytime (post 1949 that is)"
ive always wondered what that thing on the wall is -- is really doenst seem to fit with the rest of the room -- its like a shrunken goblin head?
I think it takes place in the eighties but I read somewhere that Lynch loves the nineteen-fifties so that's why it had that type of setting.
And now to be over-analytical: I think the whole idea is that the movie takes place in a seemingly nice quiet suberban town but there is this dark secret and lots of weird things going on that most people don't know about. And I think the whole era of the fifties adds to the innocence because when you think of the fifties, it was before all the protests and women's movement and all of that. It was just perceived as being very innocent.
Just my take on it. I've only seen the film once, but I just got the DVD for my birthday.
