Blue Velvet

Something that starts off as a bit of a mystery turns into something even more difficult for my brain to comprehend.
This film was two hours long but it felt a lot shorter, I honestly felt like I had missed half of the film when i was watching it. Yes I am tired and probably missed some crucial development in the plot but i still can't work out what really happened in the film.

None of the cast was well known and I liked that. In a way I felt like this film was on a par with The Graduate. I don't know which one came first and I know that the graduate really doesn't have much of a plot to it but i remember it and that is more than i can say about Blue Velvet. I felt like this probably should have been a break through moment for the people in this cast but I don't recognise their names so I would bet that actually it didn't have the desired effect.

I get the feeling that sometimes people make films for the sake of making a film. There was a good idea and don't mistake me, Dennis Hopper was a good find- I was impressed with him but not with the film overall, I was kinda let down because the synopsis made it out to be something much better than what was produced.

I don't know if this is something that would benefit from getting a second watch so in a years time i will watch it again and see if i can understand it a little more than i did this time.
