Blue Velvet

Here is something I read on lynchnet.com about David Lynch describing his childhood: "It was beautiful old houses, tree-lined streets, the milkman, building forts, lots and lots of friends. It was a dream world, those droning airplanes, blue skies, picket fences, green grass, cherry trees -- Middle America the way it was supposed to be. But then on this cherry tree would be this pitch oozing out, some of it black, some of it yellow, and there were millions of red ants racing all over the sticky pitch, all over the tree. So you see, there's this beautiful world and you just look a little bit closer, and it's all red ants."I think that Blue Velvet portrays exactly this. This quiet, small American town, that seems “perfect” from a far, but really isn’t. Those “red ants” are in my opinion supposed to be the “Franks” that live among us. Anyway Blue Velvet was such a beautifully made film. I think it is quite scary how realistic it is though. Well, as Jeffrey said:  “Sandy, it’s a strange world”
