Based, it seems, on 19th century sci-fi illustrations. 2) The images of sand and water, an indication of the artistic vision of director Lynch. Unfortunantly, these things do not a movie make. Dino should have given David a roll of B&W movie film, a few bucks and no strings attached. By the way did you know that Dino hired David Lynch before seeing Eraserhead. Poor Dino hated the film. Too bad Lynch had to go for the mass appeal and a PG-13 rating, I think his creativity was stifled and it has resulted in a mostly meaningless, confused, empty film.
