Why does David Lynch's ``Wild at Heart'' quote ``The Wizard of Oz''?

A pure love story that grows behind the ruthless violence.

Nightmarish visuals, a dark existence swirling with violence, and the gap between dreams and reality... When describing David Lynch's work, such extremely decadent words are used. However, these are only a few elements in Lynch's work. Indeed, when discussing Lynch's work, this lack of ethics is an important factor. However, the genius director Lynch has used these elements as a cover to create pure delusions.

To put it simply, it's the relationship between light and darkness in " Blue Velvet ." In the film, the heroine, played by Laura Dern, talks about a dream she had one day, and what appeared in that dream was a flock of robins, which are said to be a symbol of love. A flock of robins is released into a dark world, purifying the world with the light of love. Additionally, at the end of the film, a scene is inserted in which a robin munches on an insect (the embodiment of darkness). In short, the robin, a messenger of peace, cut off evil and brought light back into the world.

It's a very common and completely trite metaphor. However, this banality is exactly the pure side of David Lynch. Although it is an exaggerated and contrived production, the greatness of Lynch's work is that for some reason it doesn't feel "ugly". Such purity is expressed, for example, in the passionate love between Sailor and Lula in ``Wild at Heart.'' The world they live in is terrifying, dangerous, and full of madness, but the unconditional love between a young man and woman is incredibly pure.

Director Lynch deserves respect for writing such a banal scenario without hesitation. Many people say that his films are difficult to understand or that they don't make any sense, but if you look closely at some of his films, you'll see his pure, innocent, innocent side. The reason why we don't find these clichéd expressions disgusting - or why we don't notice them - is probably because the worldview behind them is so crazy. This fusion of pure sensibility and extremely unpleasant violence reaches a certain point in ``Wild at Heart.''

Was that classic a Lynchian movie?
