Rewatched it again a few days ago. Frank had some great dialogue. Dennis Hopper was fantastic in this movie. Dorothy's apartment had great aesthetics, too. The film it was shot on complimented it so well.

The closet scene is incredibly iconic, if slightly Hitchcockian

>tfw a retard near me claims that it was just a dream and/or that movie is shit because of that

It just does everything so well. The 4 characters main characters are all fully realised, the neo-noir struggles of Jeffrey encapsulates the theme of the dark underside of society (something which Twin Peaks didn't quite do as well), the soundtrack is great, and the movie really gets an emotional response out of you.
I don't know about anyone else, but it's one of the few films were I actually thought there was danger - the threat was palpable, and you felt fear for Jeffrey.

>>87103815
>the threat was palpable, and you felt fear for Jeffrey
That's because the main antagonist was basically the kino version of Joker and Jeffrey is pretty much powerless.

Saw it at the cinema this year.
Didn't really like it as I was watching but it stuck with me. I'm thinking about it often. It's very well constructed but it's better in hindsight than as I was watching it.

One of Lynch's most accessible films while also having that distinct "Lynchien" style, and therefore arguably his best.

>>87104127
His best is Mulholland Drive

Never understood Hopper's character

>>87104102
Have you rewatched it? I hold it in really high regard, but maybe I'm the same as you - it stuck with me, rather than thinking it was brilliant at the time.

Was Kyle actually naked there? You can see his dick.

Why do you prefer it to Lost Highway, Laura Harring aside?

I thought the same the first time I saw it. Rewatched it a while later and it blew my mind. Actually watched it again a few days ago and it was even better. Don't know how but this movie gets better each watch. Give it a rewatch when you're feeling a movie with it's kind of pace.

>>87104298

Well, put two and two together

>tfw you will never sneak into an abused woman's home, get caught, and then fuck her consensually.

>>87104500
Why do you say it changed cinema.
Speaking of changing cinema - how controversial was Blue Velvet? I always read about it being controversial, especially when it comes to what you should be able to subject actors to in a non-exploitation/porn role, but I've never seen it on any controversial lists.

>>87104500
Lynch's earlier films were more like Lynchian qualities painted on an already grounded genre canvass. Blue Velvet had a neo-noir canvas, Wild at Heart was a road film like Badlands, and Eraserhead was a surrealist film. The Lynchian qualities just blend with the already surrealist qualities in Eraserhead.

I liked reading that exchange of an interviewer with Lynch about this shot.

>But it looks so fake!

>Well, it is playing a role.

>it's a dark psycho-sexual thriller featuring a man high on drugs who yells "BABY WANTS TO FUCK" as he dry-humps a woman
>make the boy get forcibly stripped at knife point, and have him run around butt naked
What did Lynch mean by this?

>>87104665
i was watching an interview with Frank Zappa today, about the PMRC and all that shit, and a woman mentioned Dennis Hopper's character on Blue Velvet

>In dreams, I walk with you
>In dreams, I talk to you
>In dreams, you're mine

That scene was instantly burned into my memory. Bravo Lynch

>one of the few explicitly gay characters in lynch's work
>he's a drugged-up rapist who's holding the kid and husband hostage for frank in return for drugs and is part of the dark underbelly of the town
What message did Lynch hope to send with this? Is him being gay just a coincidence?

>>87103541
but is it though? in Mulholland Dr. the camera pans into a pillow, is kinda obvious (not really the first time i saw it) that it means it is all a dream, the first part i mean

in Blue Velvet the camera pans into the ear, we enter the ear, i try to wrap my head around it but i don't know what it means, maybe it's all a cuckold fantasy inside Dorothy's husband's head, i mean, we see her getting beat up and fucked and spied while naked

>>87105186
maybe that Frank's type of sociopathy wasn't strictly contained to masculinity or heterosexuality. that there is the potential for that type of behavior in every type of person

Don't be a good neighbor to her, I'll send you a love letter straight from my heart. Do you know what a love letter is, its a bullet from a gun fucker you get a love letter from me and you're fucked forever

The robin at the end was made to look intentionally artificial. Really changed my perspective of the film

>>87104799

>you're like me
I think this is the most revelatory quote of the main theme behind most of Lynch's work

The primal evil lurking inside human hearts

>>87104855
i think it's fake, Lynch always liked to fuck with people, he never revealed how he made the baby in Eraserhead, he gave 10 clues about mulholland drive that were completely deceiving and he even said Lost Highway has no meaning, which i doubt very much, he just hated when people asked about the meaning of his movies

>>87105186
God DAMN he was suave.

>>87105480
>he gave 10 clues about mulholland drive that were completely deceiving

>>87105429
>Or that dreams are the only "pure" things?

Pretty much this I suppose

>>87105480
I think it is fake - rumors say that the prop designer used a real dead robin as the shell for the moving parts (yuck). Maybe that only adds to the meaning, ha.

>>87105522
>>87105667
http://www.mulholland-drive.net/studies/10clues.htm

read interviews, Lynch fucking despised when he was asked about MEANING, here are the clues (which are obviously retarded and vague) and the analysis people made, just like the stuff with The Shining, it demonstrates that if the audience truly wants to find a meaning, they're gonna find it

>6. Notice the robe, the ashtray, the coffee cup
madman

>>87105186

>explicitly

I think you mean implicitly

>>87105522
>>87105667


1. Pay particular attention in the beginning of the film; at least two clues are revealed before the credits.
2. Notice appearances of the red lampshade.
3. Can you hear the title of the film that Adam Kesher is auditioning actresses for? Is it mentioned again?
4. An accident is a terrible event...notice the location of the accident.
5. Who gives a key, and why?
6. Notice the robe, the ashtray, the coffee cup.
7. What is felt, realized and gathered at the club Silencio?
8. Did talent alone help Camilla?
9. Note the occurrences surrounding the man behind Winkles.
10. Where is Aunt Ruth?

>>87105429

The robin being fake, I assume means that the idyllic little small town story about good triumphing over evil is a total facade that could only exist within the realm of cinema. Think of how the movie begins and ends with the pretty white picket fence and firetruck with waving&smiling fireman.

Fact: Dennis Hopper using helium instead of Nitrous or whatever he had Lynch change it too would have been better. The whole movie he's acting like a baby wanting to suck titty. Imagine him saying his lines with a high pitched baby voice. It really could use a fan edit

>>87105948
Also Jeffrey effectively steps into his father shoes. It's almost like you have to disregard the mysteries to lead a normal life.

The Room is the greatest movie Lynch never directed.

I've always wanted to make a fan edit of The Room by replacing the soundtrack with that of Twin Peaks.

>>87102516
Similar to twin peaks, someone investigates a town where nothing is as it seems.

FUCK THAT SHIT

PBR

>I'm in the middle of a mystery

For me this movie is about 2 things: Our masochist/evil persona, that we hide and a satire of the Reagan regime or either of "good endings".

First one exists within Kyle's character: His desire to find the obscure and his curiosity in general, then Rossellini's character, that's beaten up and raped, and when she's with Kyle, a man that treats her well and she feels safe, she starts to find herself uncomfortable, and needs some sort of punishment. The lines: "In Dreams, I walk with you" and "You're just like me" are examples that this behavior exists and it's under our uncouncious. Lynch went further to explore this theme on Wild At Heart, the scene where Bobby Peru is about to rape Lula (specifically when he touches her vagina) she wants the sex, and then he withdraws his hand, and she realizes that everything she's being doing since (and Sailor as well) has been pure instinct, and they've being acting like primal animals, just having sex while they are alienated from the world.

The second point of view can be explained from the first and the final scenes, the first shows a swarm of bugs and the ending shows the bird eating 1 insect (Frank). While everyone is happy that this one insect dies, there's still a full swarm under them. This happened and still happens a lot, we catch a major criminal and everyone pretends the world is better, but there's still a lot of them, but it's way easier to pretend that the good has won.

>>87104916
Kyle was 24 when Dune was made

>>87108752
Bouncing off your second point of view, you could also interpret the robin eating the bug as good prevailing over evil being the natural order of our world.

I'm sad to say I didn't "get" Blue Velvet. I loved Mulholland Drive, Eraserhead and Elephant Man so I thought I'd like this one but it did nothing for me. The only scenes that really stood out were the musical scenes (Blue Velvet and In Dreams) and the ending with the robin. The rest seemed very straightforward and kinda dull.

What am I missing?

>>87102516
Its a satire about the ideal, peaceful small town. It's not actually peaceful, but the people just ignore all the bad shit happening so they can be blissfully ignorant. That's why the ending is super optomistic

>>87109159
Had a similar experience, none of it really left an impression on me.
