World of Blue - Archived Forum 2007-2022

well, i've been to clubs in my time, and the whole pink room sequence plays to me as a bit of a satire of loud and annoying off-the-grid underground clubs that don't have proper permits and things. it's like this raging migraine come to life. the pan across the used cigarettes and empty beer bottles reads to me as a punchline. it's like black comedy.

I found it a fairly straight portrayal of that kind of place. Blue Velvet is a bit more darkly comic in its similar scenes, including the deleted scene where a woman sets her chest on fire. FWWM certainly gives us a sincere depiction of Laura in a druggy hell which harkens to the Black Lodge. Donna's fate in there gives us a sense of danger.

The point of the pan across the floor and its stench is that we then cut to a pan across beautiful, fresh pine trees in the morning. I don't think the film is passing some kind of judgement but offering a very clear sentiment.

man, your posts are very confrontational. interpret the scene however you like.

How was I confrontational? I wasn't, at all.

I haven't noticed anything confrontational myself, either. However, I liked this summary very much:

As for humour in FWWM, I mainly see it in the first part (Deer Meadow), most of all in the scene where agent Desmond asks Sam what time it is
