It's a Strange World
Blue Velvet has a colorful beginning.The suburbs with a idyllic lifestyle.It seems that nothing wrong could happen here.It reminds me films like American Beauty and the classy presentation and haunting music it's similar to Chinatown. Jeffrey(Mc Lachlan) is a young innocent man with a hidden and dangerous obsession with a mysterious complicated woman, makes him flirting with a vouyer/sado phase.
The first hour of Blue Velvet is slow but fascinating.At the beginning of the second hour is a little tedious at times.The problem I guess is Denis Hopper.He is not a good actor.Casting him as a Psycho sadistic man was a big mistake .Every time he appears it is just annoying. Blue Velvet has space for two great underrated actresses:Laura Dern .She almost a David Lynch Muse.Her role as a school girl is a little bit miscast because she was too old to played a teenager but that is exactly the purpose of it.She convinces us that she can be a naive teen.And Isabella Rosellini was very brave for portraying a risky role none Hollywood actress would dare to do her part.
I liked the nightmare like quality of Blue Velvet and the conclusion of the mystery is brilliant(the last 10 minutes) BUT I'LL give Blue Velvet 6/10 Only because Dennis Hopper ruined the movie.
