Blue Velvet

The first four minutes of this movie really intrigued me and I am definitely going to have to go rent it sometime. I am a visual person and I particularly pay attention to colors and body language and setting. The thing that really stuck out to me was the almost constant visibility of nature and different kinds of life. At the beginning the picture of the red rose the camera starts from the top and then works its way down which shows a single red rose at first then many. A single red rose represents love and romance. Then there were several red roses and that led me to think that the love involved in the movie would not only involve a romantic relationship but other kinds of love as well such as family friends and love for oneself. The next picture of flowers the flowers are yellow tulips. Yellow tulips also have a not so well known meaning. Yellow tulips represent sunshine in your smile and hopeless love. The fact that the two kinds of flowers represented go from romance to hopeless may foreshadow the feeling of unconditional love which can fog one's vision and may lead to poor choices and actions. Colors as well as flowers have meaning. Yellow usually represents wisdom, joy, happiness, and intellectual energy. Whereas red symbolizes action, confidence, courage, vitality.
