Blue Velvet

I agree with Deepti - the discussion we had about analyzing movies really brought into my attention the fact that there are so many more things you can look at other than just the plot and entertainment. Blue Velvet does this very well. The rhetoric that was used in the first few minutes of the film was done so that you know so much more about what to expect in the movie than if you just took plain camera angles and colors. I think that the subtlety of this form of rhetoric is something that is very interesting and would take very fine editing and filming to master. A lot of this was probably something that we would subconsciously absorb, and not something that regular people would notice and interpret.
