Watching David Lynch's film for the first time

I watched this film in the screening room on Saturday. When I saw it for 30 minutes, my first feeling was a bunch of neuroses! Later Lula also said in the hotel that the world is crazy.

This film is to show the extreme character of the characters, Lula's mother, her lover and killer and so on. During Seiler's escape, sex, violence, a large number of color blocks, flames, etc. are interspersed, symbolizing the theme of "wild at heart". I feel that this is simply an expression of symbolism.

Maybe the films in the early 1990s, judging from the current point of view, are a bit outdated. For example, in the two songs of Elvis Presley, the first Seiler actually sang the entire passage. What's the point? Finally, in order to show that Seiler really wanted to marry Laura, he stood in the car and sang "Love me Tender". It felt like he was watching an opera. It was a bit too formal. And when Seller described his snakeskin jacket, he directly said "it is a symbol of my faith and personality." The snakeskin jacket in the whole article can already represent Thaler's character, and directly speaks out the suspicion of superfluous.

It was the first time I came into contact with David Lynch’s movies. His style is indeed a bit different and never forgets. Cage's performance is also remarkable, so I won't comment on others.

    Watching 20181106 again is like watching a new movie compared to the first time. Abandoning those exaggerated and bizarre character behaviors and flirtatious picture editing, it is essentially a very pure love film. When Sailor sang the Love Me Tender for Lula at the end of the credits, which he sang only for his wife, I was really touched. At that time, Cage was wild, sad, affectionate, and cramped, so nice.

    Tianjin dialect describes it as "folded down". Of course the surprise is seeing gold in a pile of shit

Wild at Heart quotes

  • Bobby Peru: I gotta take a piss bad, can I use your head?

    Lula: Uh... yeah, I guess.

    Bobby Peru: I don't mean your head-head. I'm not gonna piss on your head, your hair and all, I'm just gonna piss in the toilet. Y'all take a listen, you'll hear the deep sound comin' down from Bobby Peru.

  • Lula: When'd you start smoking, Sail?

    Sailor: I guess I started smoking when I was about... four. My momma was already dead then from lung cancer.
