1. The film I have chosen for my final is a film directed by David Lynch in 1986 called
Blue Velvet. The film’s main actors are Kyle MacLachlan, Laura Dern, Isabella Rossellini, and Dennis Hopper. They play the roles of the a college student named Jeffrey Beaumont, the role of a detective’s daughter named Sandy Williams, the role of crazy singer named Dorothy Vallens, and the role of a homicidal maniac called Frank Booth.

His encounters with Frank are not safe, he realizes a detective is corrupt, and notices his life's in danger countless times after finding the severed ear. David Lynch does a great job of carrying his message across by showing the audience that some people may live on the same planet but they live in two different worlds. He shows the audience this through Jeffrey’s
