Blue Velvet/YMMV

• Alternate Character Interpretation: Frank is either a symbolic representation of evil, the Devil incarnate, or simply a psychopathic criminal. According to Dennis Hopper, the actor who played him, Frank is one of "The greatest male romantic leads of all time." Jeffrey's character is also open to interpretation. Sandy jokingly asks if he's "a detective or some kind of pervert" when he first suggests spying on Dorothy. However, after we see how Jeffrey reacts to the situations he finds himself in, we can start taking Sandy's question into serious consideration. Does Jeffrey genuinely want to do his share of good in the world, or is he becoming obsessed with the thrill this mystery gives him?
• Complete Monster: Frank Booth is an iconic example. Trust me, there are other characters in this movie... somewhere.
• High Octane Nightmare Fuel: In. Fucking. Spades.
• Memetic Mutation: This film really helped the makers of Heineken!? Fuck That Shit! Pabst! Blue! Ribbon!!
  • DON'T YOU FUCKING LOOK AT ME!
• True Art Is Incomprehensible: David Lynch FTW / WTF. And this is probably Lynch's most straightforward movie (other than The Straight Story).
• The Woobie: Dorothy Vallens. Jeffrey in his weakest moments as well.
