One of my favorite fan theories is that the rabbits are three souls in hell. The reason why they talk in such a bizarre, disjointed way, is because the damned condemned to wander hell for eternity can see tha past, and predict the future, but they are unable to see the present.

The dialogue makes sense but it’s out of order. Someone would have to match them all up. The rabbits are dealing with a traumatic incident. They each speak of their own memories- the same incident, but they each perceived it differently. Their dialogue makes no sense because each of their “truths” were so different. Their trauma shook them up so badly that it infected their daily routine no matter how much they tried to keep their normal life.

It's like watching an unnerving surrealist play, but you're the only one in the theater. Especially with the prerecorded applauses. Such an uneasy feeling. I love it.

this is the epitome of what I like about Lynch's approach to horror: the true unknown. Full abstraction. It's so slow. It's so empty. It's so repetitive. Why am I completely riveted throughout the whole thing? The majority of this film is static images, but they're full to the brim with dread. Because I don't know what's going to happen next, though I feel like I should. I really, really should know what happens next....

Lynch's atmospheric background noise Makes this a constant return for me.

My friend and I came up with a theory in high school that these rabbits are all holocaust victims in purgatory but they know that someday they will reincarnate, hence "I wonder who I will be". The monologues are them talking about their experiences and eventual deaths in the concentration camp and relating it to a rabbit being killed by a dog. They're turned into prey animals for the same reason. That's also why they have 40s/50s outfits.

its almost like David Lynch knew we would watch this shit high as a kite and the dialogue would trip us out.. "i'm going to find out one day." then you start to question if you have secrets and if you've exposed yourself about something.. to "what time is it" for comic relief as if to know that we'd question wtf is going on and why were even watching this at 4am in the morning, with laugh tracks just to trip us out more... Lynch really knew how to grasp that feeling of dread and purposeful randomness, and show it visually in a dreamy nightmarish atmosphere, exactly the way you'd only be able to understand if youre actually dreaming.. from the music, to the movements and position of the characters, and the long stares and randomness of their behavior.. lynch literally just created this to demonstrate the strangeness of the human mind, behavior, and comprehension of random nothingness.

It's great how nothing too scary happens, so your mind keeps making up potential scenarios that are actually creepy. Like I imagined that one of them suddenly screamed, or lays down in front of the door with it open, or they start running over the sofa towards the back, or a wolf comes in and kills them all, etc. It's not unlikely because it's such a surreal atmosphere, but it contradicts the slow pace. Your mind makes up all the horror.

This film is a masterpiece of cinematography.

David Lynch. Genius. Brilliant. Cerebral. Wiggley. Darklight. I must take my feet for a walk now.

In my interpretation, the film, via metaphor, is talking about 3 rabbits who live in a natural environment, quite possibly a forest. The father of the family goes to work every day at the same time, possibly doing his duties, within the context of the forest. The laughs and the sitcom format refer to the fact that we treat such animals as spectacles, just like their more humanized form, that is, the rabbits have such a form, because it is as if the rabbits were being observed through our human prism and as humans , we often tend to project our "humanity" onto animals, however, the family context is very sad and disturbing and the audience, possibly human, treats it like a sitcom in fact, showing how this "humanistic" approach towards animals, is nothing more than a mere entertainment show for us. The background in the film refers to fire, and in scenes with enigmatic riddles the emphasis is placed on fire, we can constantly see symbols of fire in the rabbits' house, and the descriptions of the father and mother in the film refer to issues of fire and exploitation of nature in a wild and violent way, examples: Sirens, dead dogs, fire which is also mentioned, ships, etc. All of this, joining the dots makes me reconstruct that this scenario is possible. The man in the green suit could be a representation of the human being who uses symbols of ecology to perpetuate such crimes against nature. The family's concern about the father arriving late could be this, the concern about the rabbit finding a human, the reference to the character that the daughter mentions, could be a close relative, friend, or something like that who was killed due to such explorations. The issue of rain could be literal rain, representing a moment of relief for the characters, due to the chaos perpetuated in their habitat. The film also constantly uses the word "wire", which could indicate that the forest to which they belong is being increasingly reduced and limited by such wires and walls. The concern and fear when answering the phone could be a representation of the rabbit family's concern about being disturbed by humans. Finally, the final scene, showing the face of a seemingly bestial and savage figure, could be how this family of rabbits would view humans.

I like your reading of the movie/story. Mine differs but I think that's what Lynch's aim is: to impact the viewer emotionally and let them then re-create a story of their own. Mine is more the story of what if the rabbit in Alice in wonderland could be the protagonist in a carrollian world of surrealism and lack of time symmetries. In fact, the rabbit in Alice was running late, time pressing on him like a torture. I also see the world of quantum mechanics in this "chaotic" world where coherence gets lost at times. The man in the green jacket could be the final creator/destroyer of all... The stopping of time... I can also see echoes of Donnie Darko, made the year before...

How did David Lynch know so much about my family growing up???

I always wonder how Mr.Lynch explained about this project to Coffey, Harring and Watts. In my imagination it must be a diner serves a "damn" good coffee and he said, "I have a new project. It is about three people with rabbit head. They're in an apartment room...and it's some kind of comedy". Mr.Coffey replied "Woah...that sounds...". "creative" Ms.Watts said. Ms.Harring was smiling in silence.

i love how he just filmed this on the fly in a shed in his backyard. and then just threw it into INLAND EMPIRE mix. I wonder if Watts, Harring, and Coffey are actually in the costumes or they just used their voices. Also, the setting reminds me of the red room from Twin Peaks, another room in another dimension.

@doinkdoink49 damn, so Tylenol doesn't just fix physical pain, but metaphysical pain as well. That's disturbing.

The oppressive laugh track seems to hint that the rabbits are being recorded for propaganda purposes, and they are constantly watched. That’s why their conversation is tampered with, they can’t say what they want to say lest some ambiguous authority finds out, so they have to make it incomprehensible and meaningless. Their actions are slow and choreographed so they don’t do something that the authority does not like. They seem afraid despite not outwardly showing it. As for the strange occurrences, I have no idea. The strange voice could be the higher authority contacting them, or something else. As for the telephone and the door opening, I don’t know, but it all serves to put you on edge and constantly in suspense for what could happen next. I suppose in that way, the rabbits are us. However I’m probably not correct. Still, like everything Lynch does, it’s riveting

Nobody is going to explain this to us. Everything has been said before but heard as if for the first time. Applause. "Where was I?" Right there on the red couch. Can we assume the live audience is always rabbits? She comes and goes to no applause. Proving she must have been there all along. What monsters frequent the dreams of rabbits? Talk of endless rain, blood and dogs. It's getting late.

Each one deeply lost within their own thoughts. Lifetime after lifetime without reprieve, propagating over and over. Each lifetime ends with dogs, sharp knife, electricity, wire…hanging upside down, bleeding out, freezing to death. We sometimes think this is not what happened. Someone called, maybe a reprieve? We almost forget. It’s slow, it’s painful, it’s repetitive. But is it good that they cannot kill us for good? We cheer absent-mindedly, humor is our way. Dark emotions. Nine lives is a joke. So minimalist. Panting we stop picking up the phone. But why do we applaud just another beginning? I missed that part. I also missed the end. Nothing happens. No shame in that. Red. Again. I heard it too. Into another round. How will we meet, who will we be…next time.

This oddly makes sense to me. There's a whole storyline. Like the characters only need to lay out a model of thought and the brain puts the rest together. This is awesome

Alright, tell me the storyline your brain put together in this.

I used to love gore movies as a teenager. In college I understood the mundane as terrifying, then eventually it became the absurd and nonsensical. Now I fear myself most of all because who I am now is giving Rabbits by David Lynch and nobody understands the appeal.

To me, everything people say is dialog and I hear these kind of conversations everywhere. I don't believe people ever truly "say" anything. We are all in fear of so many things subconsciously that our reality is merely escapism for the truths we know deep in our psyche.

The laughing track ALWAYS hit for mentions of time, date, or day of the week and other things yet undetermined. Perhaps 🤔 any mention of precision, imitating humans, for the rabbit audience is considered funny 😁?

@@SamuelBlack84 yes they are a lot like this. the abstract conversations and empty noise. i swear i have dreamt that i was in this exact room.

One day, I chose a wrong turn at an intersection. Its pavement ended past several houses. I had to stop to avoid driving into an open field. A bunny bounced into sight in front of me. Several more bounded in behind it. Then the count was five. Then twelve. Then... too many. The grassy field was full of bouncing, active bunnies. All deciding to follow the first one. To where, who knows? I put the car in reverse and drove away. Where was all the non-sensical applause?

I don't know why I find this environment so comforting?

It feels like AI-generated seinfeld

I tried to figure this out, but never could. I know all that is going on is the script is being presented out of order. its wonderful to show someone for the first time.

Brilliant! It was more frightening when I started understanding about half way through....

I've had nightmares in my very early years with a similar atmosphere Like the one with the ventriloquist dummy screaming "I'M ME!!! I AM MEEEEE!!!!!"

My first time experiencing a Lynch movie, though a short one, very weird but fascinating.

I found this really really uplifting, but then again, I meditate

DAVID LYNCH'S "RABBITS" (2002) "In a nameless city deluged by a continuous rain... three rabbits live with a fearful mystery" 7/26/2019 David Lynch Rabbits Script 2/8 DAVID LYNCH'S "RABBITS" (2002) Scene 1 INT. THE LIVING ROOM We see a gloomy room lightened only with lampshade and standard- lamp. There are two women in the rabbit costumes in the room. One of them (JANE), dressed in white, sits on the red sofa near the lampshade. The second one (SUZIE), dressed in red, stands in the left corner of the room near the standard-lamp, and irons the same piece of clothing over and over again. There is a door at the left side of the screen. Near the door we can see an old black telephone. There is another room on the background. We can hear the rain outside. After a long time the door opens, and a man in the rabbit costume (JACK), dressed in a black suit, comes into the room. His entrance is accompanied by the rapturous applause of an unseen audience. After the applause has grown silent, Jack takes his place on the sofa. JANE: I'm going to find out one day. SUZIE: When will you tell it? JACK: Were there any calls? JANE: What time is it? (Audiences laughing) JACK: (Stands up) I have a secret. JANE: There have been no calls today. (Audiences laughing) JACK: (sitting back) I am not sure SUZIE stops ironing, and goes to the sofa.

(Audiences laughing) JACK: It must be after 7:00 PM SUZIE: I have heard those things being said before. JACK: I will bet you are both wondering. JANE: It is still raining. SUZIE: I have misplaced it. I am sure of it now. JANE: All day. (Audiences laughing) JACK: It was a man in a green suit. SUZIE: Why? JACK: It may even be later. SUZIE: I am going to get them. SUZIE goes into the adjoining room.

SUZIE: I almost forgot. JACK: I knew that was what happened each time I thought about it. JANE: Are you going to tell? JACK: It is the rain. JANE: I was wondering when Suzie was going to do that. JACK: Who was it? SUZIE: (looking to the side) It must be the rain. JANE: It is 11:15 PM, it is dark outside. (Audiences laughing) 7/26/2019 David Lynch Rabbits Script 5/8 JACK: Quiet. JACK stands up and goes to the door, leaves the room and back soon with audiences applause. JACK: Let me tell you. JANE: I do not think it is the rain. SUZIE: He goes to work each morning, and then he comes back home each night. JACK: It may have been a coincidence. SUZIE sits down between JACK and JANE. JANE: It did not happen that way.

We hear a scream and the lights go off suddenly. SUZIE goes to close the door and the scene comes back to normality SUZIE: And then, there it was. 7/26/2019 David Lynch Rabbits Script 8/8 JACK: No. Nothing. JANE: Well then, it must be very dark. JACK: It was the man in the green coat. SUZIE sits down between JACK and JANE. JANE: I wonder who I will be. END.

Lynch creates the illusion of dark just as Turner painted the illusion of light. True art for sure.

I was going to complain that the audio is slightly off, but then again, everything is slightly off.

One of those relaxing videos to fall asleep to

This is how my brain works when I'm coming off of Benadryl on no sleep. "Did I remember to be a pigeon today? What did that taste like?"

I remember when I first saw this as a teenager and it freaked me out for ages

Interpretation belongs to the viewer. IMO: I like that the sequence of the script is off but stays coherent with an idea and story-line. I also find it amusing that the sound effects are off with whatever the Character is doing. Wearing a Rabbit head makes it impossiple to time the lipsinking adding that extra special effect? Making the Characters talk like the old Japanese Monster films of the same period, where their voices speak the words before their lips start moving? I knew before watching this, some people not familiar with David Lynch would be shrugging their shoulders and scratching their heads? Just think in terms of; Life of Rabbits in a 1950's sitcom style setting. With some pointed dialogue by lead Actors between scenes to really explain their trauma? Winter has ended, Spring rains are here and its been a gully washer of a storm! This would worry Mom and Daughter waiting all day for Dad to come home? Lots of rain Yields early Crops, Good Garden's, and many blooming trees. Time to scavange for food? AKA: Time for Rodents to scavange Into the Garden and Fields for fresh Greens. The man in the green suit is the Farmer Mr. McGregor or Mr. Green Jeans. The Man with the Green Suit owns the Hunting Dog. The barbed wire is the newly reinforced fence around the Garden and Fields keeping the Rodents out! With heavy rains there's always an increase of rodents. In some places the fence is most likely Electrified! Blue paws and blood in barbed wire are visions of chased rabbits into the fence after Yellow Teeth and Dripping Saliva get them or chase them! Then the knife... And Leather are probably the skinning process after the fact? Using the Rabbit furs for another purpose? All of the premonitions were a warning to keep the rodents, (Rabbits) out of the Garden! There is however, another place mentioned by Mom and Daughter? I believe it was a dock or pier that was a safe place? In the end the Family seems to have avoided the Garden, listening to the warnings and premonitions given to them? Who knows? Somehow Mom tapped into the Dogs psychic message? Dad had a Secret! Got a phone call. And met the man in the gree suit. Both Mom and Daughter left home and went to the Pier.

i want to see the rest of the house

I still have the impression that the ending offers a glimmer of hope.
