According to IMDb's trivia section on this film, Roger Ebert, who seemed to have a distaste for Lynch (check out his "Blue Velvet" review), booed so loudly that it almost drowned out the cheers when the award was announced. As a side note: it blows my mind that this won the Palme d'Or in 1990. When Lynch is at the peak of his directing powers, his films can prompt me to question and meditate upon the very nature of our reality "Wild at Heart" is just a decent road trip movie with a few really quirky moments and a whole lot of wackos. It's not bad, it just doesn't do a whole lot for me, especially when compared to Lynch's masterpieces (Twin Peaks TV show, "Eraserhead", "Mulholland Drive", "Inland Empire"). Though I enjoyed my time with Sailor (Nicolas Cage, "Leaving Las Vegas"), Lula (Laura Dern, "Marriage Story"), and all the other various other bizarre characters that populate this weird romantic tale, I can honestly say that this is one of my least favorite Lynch movies. So, instead of asking what you think you ought to do to become a better man, John asks us in this study, “What makes you come alive? What stirs your heart?” Join John and his band of brothers as they share stories of the deep wounds of their earlier years that took away their confidence and-in some cases-their masculinity.I feel like "Wild at Heart" is one of Lynch's forgotten films, and I can sort of see why. Sadly, most men today have abandoned these dreams and desires-aided by a Christianity that feels like nothing more than pressure to be a "nice guy." It is no wonder that many men avoid church, and those who go are often passive and bored to death. Simply look at the dreams and desires written in the heart of every boy: to be a hero, to be a warrior, and to live a life of adventure and risk.
He reveals how God designed men to be dangerous.
