I watched Blue Velvet yesterday, and now that I understand the ideas, I appreciate that movie much more. It might have moved into my top five movies of all time. Blue Velvet will never surpass Mulholland Drive, Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me, or Lost Highway. I now understand the constant overlap of good and evil. I understand that we must look closer to realize a violent interior under a calm exterior. The squirming bugs in the grass symbolize this, and the ear in the woods that Jeffrey finds symbolize we must look closer to find animalistic things in society.
