Dennis Hopper portrayed the uber Republican in the movie Blue Velvet in which he cried "YOU BE LIKE ME!"

Watch it again or for the first time. Think of a possible political statement.

1. Thanks. I tried

to forget that film because it was so disturbing.

David Lynch was very visceral.

3. Since Kubrick's Clockwork Orange, many films have gone that route.

IMHO, Lynch's Blue Velvet was the first to approach the level and message.

4. I hadn't thought of Clockwork Orange

as the prelude to Eraserhead and ultimately Blue Velvet, but I can definitely see your thought process on that. My thought was the banality of evil ran through them all. Or is that being overly dramatic?

2. That was one bizarro flick.

5. Certainly filed with cultural commentary. Don't recall any political references being made

directly. However, feel free to read whatever you want into it.

Hopper played a ruthless, rather demented criminal. Just about anything could have come out of his characters mouth. Did he not also play the role of "the well dressed man"?
