My favorite appearances of Hopper's character throughout the film Blue Velvet. Warning: spoilers & very explicit s/a content. I intentionally am not including scenes of him performing assault, as it's unnecessary outside the context of the film.
Blue Velvet is one of David Lynch's earlier films, and one of his most critically significant. It's framed as a sexual nightmare, and is a weird, disturbing watch - especially if you're unfamiliar with Lynch's style.
What's odd about this film is how cogent the plot is given its demonization of sex and assault, as opposed to other film plots of his which are drenched in a fuguem (Mulholland Dr. or Lost Highway). - Krátké a kreslené filmy
That one line did more for Pabst Blue Ribbon than 20 years worth of advertising
I was at the local dive the other day and ordered a Rolling Rock, which they were out of...but they had Heineken and I got one, only to look to my right and see a guy drinking a tall boy of PBR LOL.
It’s crazy how Dennis Hopper told David Lynch he wanted to play Frank, because he IS Frank. Frank is something else..
I hope Dennis boy wasn’t that evil though 🫣
He could relate to Frank's unhinged personality as he had been very unhinged. Drugs and booze really did not work with him.
@@Rosalies_ Getting rid of them was right choice as he couldn't handle them. Few can and he wasn't one.
id have to say, that addiction manifests itself in different ways with different people. I watched my father polish off a bottle of red with supper, followed by two bottles of single malt and usually capped with a joint or two of Durban Poison. Yet, he was always up and about at 8am, cup of coffee and up the stairs to his studio. He never missed a deadline, made lucrative deals, and did well financially. (That is not to say his family life was blissful by any means) . I watched this behaviour carefully growing up, and soon found myself developing addictive tendencies. My thinking was, i can make good money while drinking and drugging. It's in my gene's. Or so I thought, instead what happened was l totally debilitated by cocaine and heroin. Could not manage to function whatsoever.
Lynch's reaction was hilarious. "Well, Dennis just told me he IS Frank, so I guess we can't invite him to Bob's Big Boy for lunch"
God Brad Douriff really missed his calling as the Joker in the 80’s. That laugh is as maniacal as anything Frank did
Someone should get on that. I mean Hamill played Chucky once. Let's get a Dourif Joker! Seems a fair trade.
Brad Dourif is a great actor and only fans of cinema 🎥 know Brad Dourif is a legend
Too late? I mean even the Joker must age.
Dennis Hopper should have been nominated for an Oscar. One of his best performances!
Funny thing is He got nominated for Oscar in the same year but for different movie, the Hoosiers. He should have Oscar for blue velvet, as well as for easy rider
I think he scared the voters way too much. Turned them off
@@karolk7711it’s just Hoosiers
I miss Dennis Hopper SO MUCH! RIP
I know he got an Oscar nomination the same year for Hoosiers but seriously Hopper could have been nominated for this as well - one of his greatest roles!
Now it's dark...
Into the niiiight... I cry out... I cry out... your naaaaame....
Lol "Let's drink to your health ", ... "no man,.. let's drink to something else" that's awesome🎉
I love Dennis Hopper
god i miss dennis hooper what a actor
Hopper at his finest. He was absolutely electrifying as Frank Booth. Best line'-'let`s f_ck. I`ll f_ck anything that moves'. And 'here`s your beer Frank, you want me to pour it for you? 'No I want you to f_ck it. Shit yes, pour the` f_ckin beer'.There was a poster of Frank Booth at a dive bar I used to go to, and 'In Dreams' and 'Blue Velvet' were on the jukebox.
i feel as though his core attributes are painted through those lines, for real
Art imitating life? In Hopper`s case, probably yes.@@Rosalies_
I love Dennis Hopper's way of acting
Dennis hopper isn't acting. He is being Dennis Hopper.
Who the hell could take Roy Orbison to make him dark but David Lynch.. Tre Magnifique
definitely a great observation
What about Tarantino when he used stuck in the middle with you for torture scene?
Jeffrey is probably thinking about the Bene Gesserite saying about "fear is the mind-killer"...
I'd been yelling "I'll fuck anything that moves!" and grinning crazily for a few years, surprised it was in a movie
Pabst Blue Ribbon!
If lightning Hopkins wasn't there at the beginning of the day he sure would be there at the end
I think a tv series spin-off starring Frank would have had potential.
Well, his dialogue would have been easy to write...
@@jonwiley2592 80% of each episode would probably have him saying f bombs throughout.
Now that Hopper's gone, I reckon it would be a bad choice to restart it, but I'd agree that the show would be amazing - and HBO should do it. (he'd be swearing every other word, lol)
The over the top performance from Dennis hopper made this movie incredible.
2:25, serious psychological damage...
I saw this movie on video at 14 back in 96, he scared me more than any slasher.
I had a couple of nightmares of him that age
Heineken!?
He's right about heinekin 🤢🤮
Is it strange that 9 out of 10 times with police feel like this exact moment in the car in the back 3:30
Where’s “MOMMY”
So crazy that dennis hopper didnt know he was on a movie so he was just acting like he normally did
imagining Dennis Hopper inside Lynch’s version of the Truman Show?
it's a strange world.
Dude should meet Tuco Salamanca
imagine how much crazier Frank would be if he decided to inhale the blue sky
Takes a lot for Brad Dourif to not be the most insane in a scene
Nurse Ratched warned us Billy is no good without his medication
Aside from tarantulas, Frank is the only thing that scares me. He is fascism incarnate.
NOW IT'S DARK
Frank is like leatherface, Chucky and Jan Brady all in one
if Dennis Hopper WAS Frank, then I don't know what I feel about Dennis Hopper anymore!! magnificent acting though!
GET HIM OUT OF THE CAR RAYMOND!
He looks like a very nice man. Who's the bad guy in this movie, Kyle?
“Best” moments
yes
NNNN-NEXT!
he actually did these scenes sober?!?!?!?!?
Yeah afaik he was passed his period of drug abuse by now. At this point he’s aged enough that I don’t see why he’d lie about it
@@Rosalies_ Lynch wanted Frank to inhale helium and get a reeeaaaallly high voice. Hopper wasn't sure he could scare the shit outta people w/ a high voice, so he suggested amyl nitrate. The movie could've turned into a comedy.
@@hinomura2001 If it was done sparingly in maybe a scene or two - and depending on the context, that could’ve been horrifying.
@@hinomura2001 It’s Amyl nitrite - that’s hell of a difference :-)
@@hinomura2001 Use of He would have made Frank even more infantile and even crazier because He is inert.
NEXT!
It took me a minute to figure out which scene you were referencing lmaoo. What an odd exclamation to blurt!
@@Rosalies_ It's great. It was a common exclamation amongst my friends in college because of this film.
Fire Marshall Bill sent me here
Frank Booth pulls out the FREON mask......did I say FREON ??... haha.....Nitrous Oxide.
It was first written as helium. That would have been even more disturbing.
I always wondered what Frank was sniffing in that mask. Poppers?
Amyl nitrate. Lynch originally scripted helium, but Hopper suggested something he knew about from his drugging days.
@@Rosalies_ nitrous oxide in the tank. Amyl nitrite in the poppers.
No comment
You’re like me.. :)
C'mon
I just wanted a preview of the movie. I know how it ends I guess now.
Read the first line of the description. You watched the whole thing.
Horrendous movie. Brutal acting. Slow
David Lynch’s films are all slow and leverage uncanny acting.
