![]() The man is a killer hired by Marietta Fortune ( Diane Ladd), the evil mother of Ripley's girlfriend, Lula Pace Fortune ( Laura Dern). Take, for example, an opening scene where the hero, Sailor Ripley ( Nicolas Cage), is attacked by a black man on a staircase at a party. But "Wild at Heart" doesn't have the nerve to just be violent - it has to build in its excuses. Well, violence in itself doesn't offend me. It deals in several scenes of particularly offensive violence, and tries to excuse them by juvenile humor: It's all a joke, you see, and so if the violence offends you, you didn't get the joke. ![]() The movie is lurid melodrama, soap opera, exploitation, put-on and self-satire. There is something repulsive and manipulative about it, and even its best scenes have the flavor of a kid in the school yard, trying to show you pictures you don't feel like looking at. I do not think this is the best film that played at Cannes this year (wait until you see Depardieu in "Cyrano") and, in fact, I do not even think it is a very good film. Now comes "Wild at Heart," which won the Palme d'Or at this year's Cannes Film Festival, to great cheers and many boos, some of the latter from me. Lynch's "Twin Peaks" is a cult hit on television. "Blue Velvet" (1986) was hailed as one of the best films of the decade. At the end of both " Blue Velvet" and "Wild at Heart," I was angry, as if a clever con-man had tried to put one over on me. But as the movie rolls along, something grows inside of me - an indignation, an unwillingness, a resistance. I sit and watch his films and am aware of his energy, his visual flair, his flashes of wit. I am aware of it, I admit to it, but I cannot think my way around it. Lula: Too bad we all can't baby.There is something inside of me that resists the films of David Lynch. Sailor: Too bad he couldn't visit that old Wizard of Oz, and get some good advice. My momma was already dead then from lung cancer.īobby Peru: Say cheese! Sailor: Cool it man! Bobby Peru: You're next. Lula: When'd you start smoking, Sail? Sailor: I guess I started smoking when I was about. Y'all take a listen, you'll hear the deep sound coming down from Bobby Peru. I'm not gonna piss on your head, your hair and all, I'm just gonna piss in the toilet. By then people'll prob'ly be driving Buicks to the moon.īobby Peru: I gotta take a piss bad, can I use your head? Lula: Uh. Sailor: I wouldn't worry about that, Peanut. Lula: One of these days the sun's gonna come up and burn a hole clean through the planet like a giant electrical x-ray. ![]() Tell me, what's that little cunt Lula think about that? Sailor: Uh-oh. How 'bout that, trying to fuck your girl's mama. Sailor: Uh, no ma'am, I sure don't.īob Ray Lemon: Marietta tells me you've been trying to fuck her in the toilet for the past ten minutes. Marietta Fortune: Oh Sailor boy, sailor boy-eee! How would you like to fuck Lula's momma? 'Cause Lula's momma would like to fuck you. Sailor: This is a snakeskin jacket! And for me it's a symbol of my individuality, and my belief. Guy at Nightclub: You look like a clown in that stupid jacket. Sailor: Did I ever tell you that this here jacket represents a symbol of my individuality, and my belief in personal freedom? Lula: About fifty thousand times. You know how clever? Sailor: How clever? Lula: He told me once he could find an honest man in Washington. WOOF!ĭialogue Lula: That Johnnie is one clever detective. But I can tell you, my dog is always with me. Perhaps you even picture Toto, from The Wizard of Oz. Mentally you picture my dog, but I have not told you the type of dog which I have. Marietta Fortune: Buffalo hunting? I've gone buffalo hunting?
