Movie Reviews of Wild at Heart (Special Edition)
Movie Review: Eeegads!
Summary: 1 Stars
This movie has not aged well. I can see now that we can thank David Lynch for all these subsequent films with completely bizarre out-there characters and virtually zero plot. Characters alone do not make an interesting story. There are plenty of strange, far-out, OK, I'll admit it - interesting, Fellini-esque characters in this movie and David Lynch does have a skeleton of a story working, but it gets lost as a sub-plot is seemingly tacked on to extend a movie that should really end earlier and all these tossed-in Wizard of Oz references that have nothing to do with anything at all, other than to supposedly add "depth" to a meaningless film. There are traces of dark comedy exemplifying situations that can arise in new relationships, secrets discovered, parental disapproval, etc. But even that is watered down with scenes that are so disturbing and violent for no real reason, other than again, to add some kind of "depth." What type of depth Lych was trying to portray in this movie remains questionable. It almost makes me think that it is all a farce and Lynch's real purpose is to pull the wool over our eyes, making us think it is a very deep and meaningful film, when it really is far from it. What were the French thinking when they gave this best picture at the Cannes? OK - I'll admit when this movie came out, I did like it - but I think I was more blinded by my -ahem- juvenile hots for the lead actor, Nicholas Cage. Now that I am older and wiser, I can see the movie is really not much about anything, only Lynch trying to manipulate his audience for far too long. I think this movie would have worked better if the two main characters were actually played by younger actors; the "plot" would have made more sense for a younger age group.
