Artistic presentation of the tournment of love. Dean Stockwell is the mime that plays on the emotions of Dennis, nearly driving him into insanity. Accompanied by Roy Orbisons interpretation of the classic love song 'In dreams'.

  • "Holy shit, you are so FUCKING suave!"

  • For a long time I tried to figure out what is going on in this scene. It's obvious that "In Dreams" by Roy Orbison is Frank Booth's (Dennis Hopper's character) favorite song (he carries it around in his pocket). The song evokes in Frank thoughts and feelings of beauty and love. He wants those things desperately, but knows he will never have them in his dark existence, and it drives him mad.

  • @spitt001 Yes, but also, this scene was remade in the pivotal scene in Club Silencio in Mullholland Dr. where a woman looks like she is singing another Roy Orbison song, but, horror, she is really miming. The trick of mime is important. My take:

    Love depends the belief in the self, at the intersection between voice and image, because our world could be shared. But sound never comes from vision. There is no intersection, we are always miming, there's no one else in our fishbowl, and no love.

  • @spooksixsix Thanks. Now all I have to do is decode Inland Empire's meaning! LOL

  • @Gilsams BRAVO. excellent interpretation / explanation. could not have put it better myself.

  • Classic.

  • best scene in the movie.

  • Dean Stockwell reminds me of what James Dean would have been like in this role. I am a huge James Dean fan, and I see a strong resemblance. Very strong. Amazing.

  • what movie is this !!!!!

  • Such a talented actor. Great performance along with Long Day's Journey Into Night, Rapture, Paris, Texas & Married to the Mob. Also screentested for Michael Corleone in The Godfather but lost out to Pacino. He deserves an Honorary Oscar.

  • @BroadBandBeatnik YES HE IS TY

  • @spitt001 so true and well explained. Cheers!
