[QUOTE="eyeboogers, post: 2657, member: 89"] "Wild at Heart" is top 3 Lynch for me (along with FWWM and Inland Empire). I think the topic here about the film being somewhat unavailable - and therefore less curated, is the main reason for it falling out of favor. As much as I love the film, it is my impression that the various Blu Ray releases are all supposed to be flawed/rushed, and therefore I have been waiting for a definitive version to be released. Also I think the Wizard of Oz + Elvis stuff + the new ending and other assorted Lynch add-ons elevated Gifford's book quite a lot. They are added because Lynch diagnosed an idealised version of US culture (from around his own youth) as having been corrupted, and saw Gifford's material as a vehicle to convey that. In terms of the gay slur, it is clear that Sailor is not being homophobic from a personal value point of view, but rather he is saying the one thing he culturally knows will escalate the fight with that biker gang ca. 1990. In general I can't recognice Dustoff's critique of "Wild at Heart" generally having "...a nasty homophobic streak". Sure it cast a dark mirror on many aspects of humanity - especially archetypes from the US south, but it is sort of an equal opportunity offender. Basically it is a film that never holds anything back. It is a super-saturated critique of where US culture was headed at the time, and a plea for people to re-learn how to be civil to each other (hence the happy ending). We did end up in exactly the Alex Jones/Trump version of America that the film was warning us about. And it is hard to make a film like that without depicting the ugliness of society along with the beauty. It is a masterpiece. [/QUOTE]
