"wild at heart" I prefer to call it "david lynch's wikd at heart". In the film, david lynch has not stingy to portray one of the most classic road lovers in film history. In the film, Nicolas Cage hugged the heroine at the end, and affectionately performed a song "love me tender" by Elvis' classmate, which was extremely romantic. This film can be seen as a watershed in lynch movies. The previous "blue velvet", including "wild at heart", were all single-clue narratives, although there are some weird scenes in the film (the eccentric fat woman in "blue velvet" and "wild at heart"). "lost highway" has an oriental witch riding a broom and an angel flying at the end), but from the narrative structure alone, the clues are relatively clear. From "lost highway", Lynch's films are more and more full of Freud's taste. Lynch's unique visual angle cleverly uses structural thinking to mix dreams and reality together, and it is easy for viewers to fall for the first time. Falling into the trap lynch prepared for everyone and unable to extricate themselves.
Lynch's films are more intertwined with two extremes. The peaceful American country town in "blue velvet" during the day is turbulent at night; the attitudes of different people towards John Merrick in "the elephant man"; the violence and fairy tale love in "wild at heart" interspersed. The interweaving of dreams and reality in "lost highway" and "mulholland drive", etc., all seem to confuse the two opposite extremes of light and darkness, and there is always more to think about after swallowing it whole.
David's films have a strong early industrial flavor. In "The Elephant Man", the desolate factory building and the thick smoke above the church; the hardware store in "Blue Velvet", the quiet town in the daytime is full of undercurrents at night; the rolling smoke in "wild at heart", the towering roadside Wire racks, endless wheat fields along the highway. It is worth mentioning that in "wild at heart", the words good witch, bad witch, oriental witch riding a broom, rainbow, wheat field, etc., and the heroine of "Blue Velvet" is called Dorothy, all from the fairy tale "The Wizard of Oz". , it seems that justice and goodness defeat evil is also one of the main themes that the director wants to show.
Lynch's later films, specifically the two films "lost highway" and "mulholland drive", are obviously psychedelic. When words such as panic, weirdness, and violence can no longer interpret Lynch's thoughts, so Psychedelic dreams began to fill Lynch's films. Lynch is increasingly obsessed with disrupting the structure of stories, confusing dreams with reality, and ignoring the boundaries between the two to a certain extent. So we see seemingly diverse characters and stories in lynch's films, but in fact these are often simple people or things, but some of them come from cruel reality and some from psychedelic dreams . What is ashamed to show in reality, or what cannot be realized in reality, is often fully demonstrated in dreams. According to Freud, the analytical formula of dreams is: dream = repressed desire + disguised satisfaction, that is to say, dreams are the manifestation of human potential desires. Yes, the director often reveals the truth of the story inadvertently in the film, but most people pay more attention to the narrative sequence of the story and ignore the details. For example: There is a section in "lost highway" when the police come to investigate and ask Jazz if he has a video recorder, and Jazz replied: "No, I like to use my own way to remember things". This is actually the topic of the whole film, because a large part of the bizarre things in the back of the film is his own way of remembering.
Personally, I feel that "lost highway" is easier to understand than "mulholland dr" (there is always controversy about "mulholland dr"), the IQ of the latter who can understand it for the first time should be at least 160 or more. As for the specific logical analysis of the two films, the diary will transfer some other netizens' posts. It is recommended that people who have not seen the above movies should take a look at the photos first, and then look at the analysis, and test their movie IQ by the way. Ha ha.
