After David Lynch finished filming "Blue Velvet", he shot the well-known TV series "Twin Peaks", and "Wild Heart" was a movie shot in the gap between the production of "Twin Peaks". He brought him what can be called the peak of his film career - the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This movie was adapted from a novel, but Lin District gave more flesh and blood to the story. The original novel was only five pages long, but he made it into a movie of more than 2 hours. The film is based on the 1989 novel of the same name by Barry Gifford. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The story is about a young couple from Cape Fear, Sailor Ripley and Lula Pace Fortune, on a road trip, gradually being hired to kill by Lula's controlling mother. Sailor's gang members approached and let the two slowly drive to the brink of death. Later, because Sailor found out that Lula was pregnant, he was arrested by the gang member Bobby in order to make money. Peru lured into a robbery case. The gang members planned to kill Sailor in the robbery case. In the end, although the gang member Bobby committed suicide, Sailor was imprisoned again because of the incident and was forced to separate from Lula. Son reunited. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The story is not complicated, there are many developments that can be seen in road movies and American films, but Woodland has added many unique elements of its own to the story. There are obvious elements in the film. Inserted into the classic American fairy tale The Wizard of Oz. Lula's mother turned into a bad witch, Lula imitated Dorothy, many dialogues in the play also directly mentioned The Wizard of Oz (Dorothy's dog), and at the end Sailor and Lula reunited, Sailor gave the lion doll to his son ( Cowardly Lion), and later felt that he was not worthy of Lula and the two to leave, and a good witch appeared directly. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ In addition to the metaphor of The Wizard of Oz, it also has the classic forest-style aesthetics, which does not shy away from the presentation of violence (there was a scene that was too perverted and bloody, and most of the audience was in the test screening. Uncomfortable to leave the venue, so I decided to cut it. Only the Cannes Film Festival has shown it.), telling the dark atmosphere of the protagonists' memories, the death they encountered on the road, the description of the intertwining of sex, love, and desire, etc. Like Blue Velvet, it's scary yet engaging. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ When the Cannes Film Festival won the award, the audience applauded and booed equally, and after it was released in the United States, the reviews were mixed. Some critics said that the film did not have Lin The mystery before the district was too straightforward, and it was also said that he was copying his own elements. And after so many years, when I went to see this movie, rather than repeating my own statement, it was more appropriate to think that these were the distinct authorships of the forest area. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ And when it comes to the imprint of the woods, we must talk about the music. The title of "Blue Velvet" is just the title of the song. In the film, Dorothy (and Dorothy) sings. The song "Blue Velvet" has become a classic, and "My Heart is Wild" also has a classic singing section. At the end of the credits, the actor Nicolas Cage sings the famous song of Elvis"
