WOLF OF WALL STREET w/guest will be uploaded tomorrow! Enjoy the day!
Three hours of coke and Leonardo DiCaprio. That about sums it up
Its a strange film, isn't it?
James VS Cinema So glad you did this film. It’s David Lynch’s best film. And Dennis hopper is by far the scariest villain in a movie. “Heineken?! FUCK THAT SHIT!”
In the opening scene, his father had a heart attack. He was watering the garden = blood was flowing nicely.
Then the hose becomes tangled, and the water stops flowing = the moment he had the heart attack.
I will not lie that when I first saw this movie, at the end I was very conflicted. I had gone back and forth on my feelings toward certain characters behavior, specifically Rossellini‘s, and if the happy resolution was fully earned... today it’s grown more on me. Though I always wish to hear what others think.
"What is happening?!" A signature question in any David Lynch film
Or series, or painting. Anything lynch lol
Behind the façade of normalcy lurk strange dark things. the more wholesome it seems the darker the things that lurk underneath are
You ever watch Lynch on weed, lol. I watched this and Lost Highway not to long ago and could not stop laughing.
david lynch is my favourite director of all time, he’s just a genius
Wild at Heart is also sick.
@@whistlingdust lol willem dafoe is crazy in that movie
The elephant man is just glorious.
He's the GOAT imo
He has a youtube channel - DAVID LYNCH THEATER
This is arguably Lynch's most coherent film which is so interesting. It is essentially a surrealist-noir that is simple, but Hopper's performance makes it so enthralling.
Technically, THE STRAIGHT STORY is his most coherent. Unbelievably wholesome and straightforward for this guy.
I mean, I'd say Elephant Man is easily more coherent/straightforward than this. That's a pretty simple biographical film. Really beautiful too.
Gospel!👍
The intro sequence is one of the GREATEST intro sequences ever made. It communicates very well visually what's one of the biggest themes in all of David Lynch's filmography: the darkness and terror lurking beneath what is otherwise in appearance a clean, peaceful community. That theme is very recurrent in his films and TV shows.
If you think Blue Velvet is strange, then Eraserhead will knock you all the way to Mars with its atmosphere. It’s one of my all time favorites.
I agree, but...you have to prepare yourself for ERASERHEAD. Especially if you're James and you don't have a wealth of movie experience under your belt.
This film of David Lynch's, and The Elephant Man and especially Eraserhead, were what ignited my passion for film making and sound design.
He so cleverly studies the workings of a viewer's mind. Take Mulholland Drive, for example......
"I'll f**k anything that moves!"
Frank Booth then vanishes.
Genius-level editing
And then the cut to the road! That entire joyride/Ben’s house/joyride sequence is amazing.
That moment is forever burned in my brain since I watched this 14 years ago or so.
'This is the worst thing that can happen and its actually happening!' really sums up this film perfectly.
But then right after that, something even worse happened!
I laughed too bc the worst shit hadn't happened yet when he said that. Which I know is your point...that phrase fits the whole movie...
Yes, that feeling of shock is rare in films any more. And this was 1986.
Blue Velvet was a fantastic, creepy and scary movie. The way it was filmed made it look like an animated graphic comic book. I watched it long ago and didn't know anything about it, then went to bed after putting my pistol under my pillow.
Kyle Maclachlan who plays Jeffrey in this is also the lead in Lynch’s Twin Peaks 🙌🏻
His best character is probably the detective in Twin Peaks. And David Lynch’s cameo is brilliant too 👍
And Lynch's Dune (but we don't have to mention that one if we don't want to... for the record I low key dig his Dune though)
@@peterjamescullen Lynch's Gordon Cole is one of the main characters in Twin Peaks: The Return.
@@joelwoods7149 : Is that the recent renewal? I’ve not seen it 🤦🏻♂️
@@peterjamescullen Yes. Lynch directed every episode as well.
I'd argue that BV is a good appetizer for the insanity of David Lynch's films. Or like Level 1
Agreed. Despite its darkness not being for some, it is Lynch's least cryptic film. Granted, The Straight Story is even more straightforward but Blue Velvet is far more likely to be intriguing for the average viewer.
"Appetizer" is an apt word here........
Nah
@@Chrisratata i would argue that while blue velvet may be less cryptic than some of his films, it certainly has the most to it in my opinion. it’s endlessly analysable in a way i feel mulholland or elephant man or eraserhead is not
@archiefordee Yeah I agree BV is his best. I think people often give Mulholland more importance than it deserves when it's really brimming with half-formed ideas that needed to be truncated to make it into a film (I still love it of course).
When you watch Lynch’s movies it really feels like you are witnessing someone else’s dream. He has this strange ability to express the feeling of a dream better than any other artist in any medium. Sometimes nightmares, sometimes happy, sometimes weird, sometimes everything at once. Truly one of a kind. It’s hard to even refer to him just as a Director/Filmaker. He’s like a Dream Maker if that could be some kind of art form. Anyways...really hard to express what I’m trying to say. I think I’m just a little too high right now
Blue Velvet is a little odd, but try "Eraserhead" at least it's more family friendly and just good clean fun.
I never thought I’d ever hear Eraserhead described as “good clean fun” but here we are 😂😂
😂😂😂
@@mistahmata I mean, by Lynch’s standards…. It’s good, clean fun 😂
lmao
Hahaha🤣🤣🤣🤣
"Heineken? F*** that s***! Pabst Blue Ribbon!"
Possibly the greatest line in the Lynchian filmography.
A B C D E F G
He put his disease inside me
Dennis Hopper. Wildest performance
No supporting actor Oscar nom. Ridiculous
Definitely. He was in comeback mode. Hoosiers came out at the same time. Two totally different movies, but he's great in both. They might have cancelled each other out.
Yea good point.
He was nominated for Hoosiers in 1986
@@DavidVines1991 Yes! Phew. I thought he did. I Googled it wrong when I was making sure. Whoops!
@@Jason-br5ow don’t you think this performance is so Unique and intense. It’s way more impressive and showing off the range than Hoosiers in my opinion
Dennis Hopper, as "Frank Booth," plays one of the best deranged, psychopathic villians in modern film history.
Dennis Hopper said in an interview that this was the sickest most depraved roll of his whole career.
That's saying a lot.
I see this movie as a story about Jeffrey wondering what kind of man he could be, and experimenting with being an adventurous man who does what he wants. But then he realizes that an abusive monster like Frank is the result of toxic masculinity unleashed, and so Jeffrey pushes that part of himself back down to make things work with Sandy. So while it is a mystery, it’s almost more of a horrifying love triangle movie.
well put
I think he learns to embrace his violent nature and channel it to a positive way.
This is such a great way to describe it. It is about loss of innocence, and sexual transcendence and darkness. A glimpse at the worst of masculinity and then an attempt to escape that when one gets in too deep.
Rest in Peace, David Lynch
Originally Frank was supposed to huff helium
If you look up “blue velvet helium” on youtube you can see the mommy scene high pitched.
It’s
Something
@@porflepopnecker4376 That he did because he said he sounded like Donald Duck
I always wondered if the original (helium) was to make him sound childlike, since he kept saying “mommy” too. Was he molested as a child?
I heard that. And the last time I watched it I kept thinking about how it would have been with Helium and I kept laughing. I think helium would have changed the movie but not for the better - it would have been too distracting and unintentionally hilarious.
This is a Film Noir masterpiece. It sends the viewer on twists and turns in a web of mysteries, containing scenes of subtle nuance and of raw energy. It almost looks like a printed graphic novel come to life, the way it is filmed with a grainy structure and the use of vivid, and muted colors. Back when I first watched this, at home at night, when I went to bed I put my pistol under my pillow.
I love showing this movie to people for the first time, seeing the reaction is almost as good as the movie
Twin Peaks is very very good, you should definitely consider putting it on the polls Kyle MacLachlan, the guy from Portlandia, is in that. He gives a career defining performance there
but be warned, the middle half of the second season is pretty bad.
@@gordonchell4364 yeah but it gets back on its feet after and the return is great
@@wyattjohnson3714Oh hell yeah it is. The movie is pretty good too.
@@gordonchell4364 i didnt rly like the movie but yeah the return
I saw this in the theater in 1986! Mind blown. One of my top 10 favorites. If you go searching for light you can find light, if you go searching for darkness you can find darkness. It's even better on repeated watches.
Another classic from Lynch. Will you see the Twin Peaks series on the channel? I recommend it a lot, it's great
Seeing his reaction to The Return would be incredible
@@parsnipappendectomy Episode 8 especially
@@parsnipappendectomy Lets hope he could last through the middle section of season 2.
@@vernerijauhiainen3952 Ha ha, yeah, that will blow his mind for sure
That S3 ep 8 and 9 were mastercrafts of TV show making. They were very unsettling in b&w and tied many loose ends and answered many questions. Lynch is a goat.
You: This is the worst thing that can happen, and it's actually happening. Oh, this is really bad.
David Lynch: Hold my beer.
Oh. My. God. YES!!! David Lynch is one of, if not my favourite directors. I’ve always wanted more people to react to it... and who better than you? Even better, this is one of my favourite Lynch movies!
“The Elephant Man” has to happen. PLEASE!!!!
Yes please
This is the best reaction I've ever seen! Oh man. Welcome to Blue Velvet!
Frank Booth is the second scariest of all David Lynch villains. If you want to see his number one, you'll have to watch Twin Peaks next...
No person in Twin Peaks can match Frank Booth...
@@mariusfelixlange6709 Well, BOB isn't strictly a person.
@@MarkJohnson-gk6kc Bob would shit his pants if he met Frank Booth...
When he walked up the next morning busted up and you said, "And a Heineken add comes up" that was about the funniest damn thing I've ever heard James. 🤣
Hilarious that Pabst became a hipster beer and who the hell hip drinks Heineken now?
@@276parpir dammit I like Pabst! Haha I totally agree.
@@danielharrison8238 It's light and refreshing!!!
i would love to see you react to the entire "twin peaks" series. it's one hell of a ride and i think you'd have a lot to say (and think) about it.
ugh... season two is a hump to get over, at least until the finale
@@jack_rabbit s2 is great till about episode 12, but after that i agree
Truly in my opinion the scariest film of all time. Even though it’s not even a horror movie, it’s just something about how real it feels.
This is what I love about your channel, is you always watching movies that other reaction channels would never even think of.
See the Wild at Heart. Another David Lynch masterpice.
One of the dead guys in the room at the end was missing an ear, the ear found early in movie. Been awhile since I saw the movie but (as I recall), the guy with missing ear was the hubby of the singer of blue velvet, Isabella Rossellini. Frank, Dennis Hopper, was keeping her kid and hubby basically kidnapped so he could have Rossellini as his sex slave.
A theme in the movie is that pure evil lives even in sleepy towns. It's an old theme Lynch borrowed from the classic American author, Nathaniel Hawthorne.
I wish more people who do movie reactions watched this movie. I've shown it to friends on two separate occasions and the reactions are always priceless when Dennis Hopper's first scene happens.
You should watch Eraserhead next. Your mind will literally be blown and you wont know whether you dreamt the film or not.
i watched that movie while I was falling asleep at like 2 am and it kept jerki g me awake. I have to rewatch because I literally don't know what was real and what I dreamt
I've heard this film described as a surrealist masterpiece, because it seeks to (and succeeds at) making YOU uncomfortable. That's the goal, to make you feel like Jeffrey and be pervertedly curious while also questioning yourself, like "should I be SEEING this?" It puts YOU in Jeffrey's shoes. The confusion and curiosity at the same time. And over top is a saccharine-as-hell false thesis of the pure not overcoming, but remaining unsullied by the wicked. This is a film for study, IMO. Great reaction!
I love that you are doing another Lynch film. Hopefully you react to all of Twin Peaks and Lost Highway (my personal favorite Lynch film).
Lost Highway is the ultimate
I am not a huge "Twin Peaks" fan, but agree with you on "Lost Highway", which tends to be diminished.........
Yeah, Twin Peaks isn't for everyone. I watched it when it first aired and it was ground breaking. A murder mystery that doesn’t get solved by the end of the episode? That's not unusual today but back then it was unheard of. It definitely takes a down turn once we learn who killed Laura Palmer but Lynch and Frost never intended for that murder to be solved, that was the network.
@@krisbrown6692 I think I was about 32 when it (the first one) came out, and maybe I had an attention span disorder, but then again I was able to make it through the entire "Brideshead Revisited" series on PBS in early 80's. Way back then that was maybe more my cup of tea, with or without biscuit........
The second one I also tried, but as with "Inland Empire" I never made it to the end.
Guess overall I prefer weird themes but with concrete plots, MD and LH being two of a few exceptions............
Watching Lynch is like waking up in someone elses dream but it's a dream that's simultaneously beautiful and terrifying.
One of my favorite reviews of yours. Cracked up at your commentary on him using the restroom in that apartment. The scene where Frank shows up in that stairwell, with the mustache, is still startling. Great stuff man.
You should definitely consider doing a reaction for Possession (1981). The Zulawski film. That movie is insane. It might just make you rise an eyebrow at the very least.
That movie is a ride! The performances especially are incredible
@@powerinmisery It is the perfect film for a reaction video. Either that or the same director's other great (but unfinished) film "On the Silver Globe" (1988).
Mixed reviews for BLUE VELVET? In what universe? This film is a masterpiece!
I stumbled on your channel today and I LOVE. Respect so much that people still watch and discuss older films ✊
Oh man when I saw you were going to watch blue velvet I had to check out you watching it. This is one of my favorite movies
I laughed my as off. Probably your most used word was 'what?'. 🤣
Seeing Dennis Hopper makes me think of two movies: Easy Rider and The American Friend. What a great actor.
Good call on Easy Rider--one of the best films of ALL TIME and with among the greatest anti-heoes--"We Blew IT........"
Yeah, Easy Rider is a classic, and The American Friend is pretty good. You can tell that it isn’t a Hollywood like The Talented Mr. Ripley. I like the atmosphere in TAF, a great part of the movie seems realistic but the end seems surreel, as if it shows the state of mind in the German guy.
One of my favorites from David Lynch. I saw this in the theater when it came out. A fantastic exploration into how there is a dark and seedy underworld that exists all around us. The opening shot of the beautiful sunlight that burrows down into the dirt underneath is a metaphor for the entire film. And talk about one of the greatest movie soundtracks! For example, take Frank Booth's speech explaining to Jeffrey what a Love Letter is, only to have Ketty Lester's Love Letters playing over one of the big final scenes. And the brilliant use of Roy Orbison's In Dreams. Iconic. "Raymond? Thank you Raymond." "Do it for van Gogh." "Now it's dark." So many iconic lines of dialog here as well. And can we just talk about the absolute force of nature Dennis Hopper is in this film? And Isabella Rossellini going toe to toe with him. And the exquisite product placement of Heineken throughout the film just to have Hopper deliver his "Heineken?! Fuck that shit!" line. That's masterful filmmaking right there. And "You're like me.", which answers your question why Jeffrey was so obsessed with Dorothy Vallens.
MULHOLLAND DRIVE is one of the most genius films of our time
Hey, great eye, great analysis. This was fun watching this with you. You are the only person to have done this movie!
My first thought.... "This is the strangest movie I've ever seen, I can't wait to see what James says".. Lets go!
Lynch tells thematic and symbolic stories, so submerging oneself in as many of his works as possible begins to help one "speak" Lynchian film language. It's generally important to remember his stories and characters are representations of things other than the literal narrative and the literal individual characters - all parts of his films work as elements in a thematic and symbolic machine for expressing and exploring the ideas any particular work is focused on. It takes time to get used to but it means his works really pay multiple viewings off really well.
Truly a fever dream. Only so many films can fall into that ethereal realm of filmography.
This is one of them.
This movie got me hooked in just a few minutes after it started
“Hey it’s my man!” Is also my reaction when I see Kyle maclachlan in things lmao
not my favorite of his, but still an absolute masterpiece imo. love David's work so much. the "In Dreams" scene with Dean Stockwell is insanely memorable.
Dennis hopper always a win, easy rider is great film of his
Easily one of my favorite films. It started my fascination with the surreal and deep love of the uncanny. Where you just scratch the surface of normalcy and you'll find yourself consumed by the darkness waiting beneath. Jeffery _wishes_ for something to happen in the bland life of Lumberton. And, boy, does her get it XD Probably why most of my horror writing follows those themes.
(As disturbing as it is, Lynch's Show-Don't-Tell in the first minutes of the film are amazing... the twisting of the hose, representing the poor man having a stroke. Followed by the violent world under the pristine grass - showing what awaits our protagonist. Just fantastic storytelling).
Ladies and gentlemen, we've hit The Lynch Phase. Let's rock.
elyts ni kcab emoc ot gniog si ekil uoy mug tahT
Lynch was a "starving art student" (painting) in Philadelphia in the 60's, living in areas of the city that were riddled with crime ... he said the fear and violence was the biggest influence on his life.
Blue velvet is such a strange unique film... if you like this you have to check out twin peaks (TV show)
HOLY SHIT YOU ACTUALLY DID LYNCH. Imo, David Lynch is the greatest american movie creator and artist in general. No contest.
Anything he created is incredible. I am absolutely judging potential girlfriends by showing them an episode of Twin Peaks. Not ashamed, works like a charm.
Please, watch Twin Peaks.
He did Mulholland too i think!
He did Mulholland Drive a while back
I really want James to watch Twin Peaks too 🙏
My sisters and I saw this movie in its original release in ‘86. I think it was the “artsy” film we saw on purpose! We were overcome by it and certain parts really have burned into our psyche (in a good way). We still wave to each other in slow motion (per opening credits).
Lyyyyyyynch ^_^ This makes me happy.
James any chance of starting Twin Peaks? It's a go to series for people who enjoy arthouse.
Keep watching films I'm not seeing on other channels. It makes you stand out. I enjoy your channel.
Barry Lyndon and now this...Dude...you have incredible taste in movies and your analysis is so great. Love how you’re getting into these non-mainstream cult classics and directors. Respect.
Haven’t clicked this fast since the Barry Lyndon one haha..
If you ever wanna do a reaction to a tv show ever, do Twin Peaks.
Strange is David Lynch's trademark.
That's why he is one of my favorite film makers.
Awesome reaction!
Hope you do more David Lynch.
Movies directed by David Lynch are so different from other movies as they have dreamlike,dark and odd atmosphere with distorted characters in a polarized world .
The "Baby wants Blue Velvet" scene is one of the most WTF scenes ever created in cinema history
It's a strange film for sure but I like it for that.
My favorite scene is when the guy sings into the light bulb, it's strange, hypnotic, whimsically charming, funny and sinister all at the same time and I like that.
Oh my. I haven't seen this one in years. I am getting in my comfy chair to watch along with you for this one 😎
Have you started singing Blue Velvet or Candy Colored Clown yet? It's going to happen.
I get the feeling from his movies that what Lynch does is come up with a conventional movie idea then he cracks his knuckles and says "Okay, now how can I turn this into a nightmare?".
If you ever see an old person have a massive stroke (heaven forbid), you'll look at the first part of this movie and go, "Ohhhh..." Otherwise, fantastic review!
Yes!!! David Lynch!
I was 16 when this came out & I remember news reports that physical fights broke out in some audiences because it was so loved & hated
Been waiting for this!! Now we must fight for Inland Empire
I love most of David Lynch's work, but Inland Empire is a bloody headache of a film .
I vote Twin Peaks, still weird but enjoyable with its incredible characters and story.
@@TheOldskoolVideoGamer I agree Inland Empire is incredibly frustrating, but I kinda love it for that. James should most definitely watch Twin Peaks for the channel, as the Return is my favorite thing of Lynch’s work.
Not sure if he’s ready for Inland Empire if he thinks this is weird... not hate I’m just sayin Inland Empire.... it’s something else James
@@TheOldskoolVideoGamer Lots of people are saying Twin Peaks but should he really just watch one episode? And if he were to watch the whole series, it would be a big investment for this type of content. Inland Empire is pretty incomprehensible from a storytelling perspective, but the cinematography is unique.
He should watch Twin Peaks and Fire Walk With Me first.
@@brittyn and the Return of course
I was waiting for this😁I'm not gonna lie i didn't know how i felt about blue velvet the 1st time i watched it and i wasnt sure if i liked or disliked it.Then i rewatched it and then became one of my favourite films of all time.Being introduced to frank booth for the 1st time is quite the experience but he is a great character.Fun fact david lynch and isabella rossellini(plays dorothy) were married from 1986-1991.
Funny idea for a Heineken commercial.
"I'm getting curveball at every corner" That's the David Lynch experience.
I hope you keep reacting more of David Lynch's work including Twin Peaks.
RIP David Lynch, thank you for the reaction. Blue Velvet is one of my favorite movies.
James, it's funny you should use the term 'Fever dream". When I saw this in the theater back in the 80s, I was coming down with a fever, I didn't know it when I walked into the movie, but, by the time the movie was over I was in the throes of a full blown attack of the flu! So, I literally watched this film in a fever dream. On top of that, the theater motif was Art Deco, and it was painted in the exact same colors as Dorothy's apartment in the film! This movie is now imprinted on synapses in my brain, I don't simply WATCH this movie, I EXIST in it.
Along with Raging Bull and Do the Right Thing this is one of the three best movies of the 80s 👌
I should note that today is Laura Dern's birthday... and Vince Gilligan.. But yea how ironic you're watching this today. The stars align, have a great day brother!
Great upload. I've never thought that most of Lynch's films were meant to be understood. The Elephant Man, is most probably the most accessible of his films.
The movie is also an allegory for discovering ideas and it becomes more apprent when you see interviews of lynch discussing how he thought of Blue Velvet
I forgot about why PBR was so popular with my friends and I back in the day.
"He's from Portlandia" ... I chuckled :-D He's one of David Lynch's favorite "muse" actors along with Laura Dern. He's in a bunch of David Lynch's work including the main protagonist of the legendary Twin Peaks. They have a 3+ decade long friendship and clearly they're each others' favorite. Also he was in Sex and The City
It's like if Francis Bacon directed a Douglas Sirk melodrama.
In The Art Life, David Lynch describes a experience he had when he was a kid, wherein he was playing outside and a naked woman suddenly walked up to him. It clearly left an impression on him. He had an idyllic 50s Americana childhood (boy scout, cul de sac) and many of his films, Blue Velvet especially, seems to be about that striking loss of innocence (that many people can relate to).
Lynch is wonderful because he uses the medium of film to act as an almost therapy, for himself and because of his authenticity, the viewer as well. It feels genuine, the feelings he entices from the viewer. Life indeed is strange, and sometimes that's a message you really need to hear. You're not alone in this whacked out world.
As for the apartment scene that confused you: the dead guy in the chair is Dorothy's husband who's been Frank's hostage for weeks and/or months. Frank's entire operation has gone to shit and so he's cutting all the loose ends. Tom (Yellow Jacket Guy) has a traumatic head injury that hasn't killed him but has left him frozen in that state, responding only with reflexes to certain stimuli. Frank is coming back to the apartment to finish everything and finds Jeffrey there.
Lynch is a surrealist and generally refuses to intellectualize his work, but the dream imagery usually provides clues to an underlying lattice of meaning in the waking world, which is why they have those weird montages in the middle. There's a great book by Martha P. Nochimson called _The Passion of David Lynch_ that gives a fascinating analysis of how the repeated use of electricity and static in his films make up a sort of reality fabric between the conscious and unconscious worlds. Definitely worth a read.
As for Frank, it's very likely he's a victim of severe child sexual abuse and extremely homophobic upbringing. He has unresolved homoerotic urges that he suppresses with violent deflections and outbursts because of this abuse. The "blue velvet" stuff is likely him re-enacting something traumatic he saw between his parents that may have also stimulated him and so repeating the scenario is his way of coping. Notice that he requires being called "Daddy" or "Baby" depending on whether he's initiating sex or not: he needs all the minutiae from the past memory to be just right before he can get started.
Suggested this movie to my friend. Of course when he decided to watch it, he invited his mom, dad, and grandmother to watch it with him. He said it was a very awkward viewing...
David Lynch, bringing families together since 1977!
In 1980 David made grammy movie Elephant Man, with Silence of the Lambs star Anthony Hopkins. Kyle was in Dune" before this, and most of those actors were in David's movies and series Twin Peaks from 1990, and the re-release 3 years ago. If people out there like to watch movies that make you think watch their stuff. I liked Seven, "what's in the box", and Memento, but after watching twice, they don't get watched anymore. Dave's Mulholland Dr. Blue Velvet and Lost Highway are still worth watching. Something new is always discovered...
This is so excellent for story and characters the cinematography is well done. Some scenes dont make sense but have great significance. The insects in the grass signify, how things can be out in the open but hidden. Strange what happens behind closed foors
Blue Velvet was a fantastic, creepy and scary movie. The way it was filmed, and the colors, made it look like an animated graphic comic book. I watched it long ago and didn't know anything about it, then went to bed and put my pistol under my pillow.
Blue Velvet is a classic. I first watched Blue Velvet in 2004. Blue Velvet is a classic thriller. In Blue Velvet, Kyle MacLachlan stars as a young man who embarks on a dark and dangerous journey when he investigate the gruesome discovery of a severed human ear which his investigation leads him to uncover a dark underworld in his hometown and becomes involved with a beautiful and mysterious nightclub singer (Isabella Rosellini) who is the sex slave of an evil criminal (Dennis Hopper) as he sets out to solve the mystery behind the severed human ear. Although Blue Velvet is a weird film and one of the most disturbing movies ever made. It is a real classic and a cinematic masterpiece. A powerful film with masterful storytelling. A shame Dennis Hopper didn't get an Academy Award nomination for his outstanding incredible performance as one of the nastiest villains in cinematic history Frank Booth. It was the best performance of his acting career.
Loved your reaction, especially at 11:20 timeframe. Made me laugh!
This was amazing! Great post🤘😎🤘
My favorite movie of all time. I was blown away right from the hospital scene where I was expecting a sobby scene and it just switched to the next scene
Blue Velvet is a favourite film of Mine. May I suggest some other films by well regarded "auteur" film-makers - "Lost Highway" by David Lynch, "Naked Lunch" & "Dead Ringers" by director David Cronenberg and "The Cook, The Thief, His Wife & Her Lover" by director Peter Greenaway
