Willem Dafoe Discussing David Lynch Wild At Heart Character Bobby Peru 

Seriously. That character lives in everyone's dark imagination forever after they've seen that movie, and haunts our nightmares. It's almost too bad he didn't have a bigger role because compared to him, most of the other characters seemed a little flimsy, including Sailor Ripley. I wasn't terribly impressed with Nick Cage in that movie as much as I wanted to like him.

agreed, willem makes wild at heart an actual decent movie, in my opinion at least

Lynch has talked about the importance of casting: he’s basically said that the doesn’t have to talk about performances with his actors if casts the right actor-and I don’t have any doubts that Lynch has access to these top talents like Defoe, that bring such highly developed acting skills to the set. The part of this interview I really liked, though, was the description of how Lynch sets up the character for the actor to inhabit-in this case, the costume and the dentures. It’s another reason that Lynch doesn’t need to talk to the actor about choices. He’s creating a specific exterior (what the audience will see) of the character for the actor to inhabit. Lynch is setting out very specific physical guideposts for the actor. The actor has unconstrained freedom within limitations that Lynch has set. It all sounds paradoxical, but it also makes sense if you contrast it with the “normal” way of directing, through words. Maybe someday you will be a director, Juan. There is no time like the present for us to develop our creativity, our vision, and our artistic skills. Perhaps one day our creative paths will cross, who knows? In the mean time, I send you my encouragement to continue walking your path of creativity. Buena honda, mi hermano.

Antichrist begs to differ

@@MarcosElMalo2That might explain why the acting in Lynch movies is so wildly uneven. He apparently doesn't do hundreds of takes like Kubrick used to do to get the perfect delivery. He just takes the first thing that's on film.

Your brother doesn’t like him?

Tell your brother that the sight of Dafoe in drag in Boondock Saints is sexually threatening to him.There's no other valid explanation.

Ya need a new brother

Hopefully, your brother is a very humble Willem Dafoe.

Your brother is faulty. Replace him.

because it was

Well, you just heard the deep sound comin' down from Bobby Peru. Sorry for that compression problem.

@@Lynchland Is your mic wet?!

@@dmhrpr756 I'll let your imagination working on this one, it's better that way.

@@Lynchland "I'll let your imagination working on this one" you're truly David's fan.

same here.. underrated movie.

@@juancpgo right! hardly anyone I know has even heard if it let alone watched it.

@@mdinunzio7610 lol get a snakeskin jacket and lose it over elvis nah I love it's one of all faves the mother is insane and nic cage is quite the hard man in this movie he's got some moves on him but it's true that hardly any fucker has heard L love David lynch and especially loved dune from the first time I saw it and still to this day rate it above star wars I guess lynch not so mainstream tho and is a bit wild for normal people I think wild at heart genuinely made me unhinged I've had quite the wild life life myself and. Bn nearly killed 25-30times stabbed up stamped allover my head got a metal jaw fell out a third story window I've had quite a serious. Benzo addiction since my teens I'm 46now and coming to the end of my road and the way world is I've made peace with it just gonna miss my precious wife n daughter but sometimes look at my little mini me and think aw shit what God forsaken world have I brought u into but she seems fairly to immune to the bulls hit cos she's smart for her age I take time to explain things properly to her peace from UK.

@@grahamcreese6859 hey man we all have our demons, I get it, we're all bigger pieces of shit than our 5 year old self's thought we would be. But yeah keep on keeping on, life has no limits we dont put on ourselves and every second is the chance for a new beginning. Snake skin jacket and kick dance your way out of the shit

"Bobby Peru - just like the country!" Gotta love Bobby . . .

He sure did and often mentioned that in many interviews !

Yes!!!!

Yes!! that whole interlude with cousin Dell was priceless

"I'm Making LUNCHHH!!"

Yes yes yes, what an amazing film

He was a black angel.. you hook up with him, you'll regret it.. if you live to.

"You wanna join in?"

I think he has a very good career, and he makes very selective and wise choices.

When a Manpig Bear is right, he's *really* right. cheers MB.

check out Javier Bardem as Anton Chirgurh in "No Country for Old Men"

The Emperor in Empire Strikes Back. Or the possessed girl in The Exorcist

Bobby Peru in Wild at Heart. ;)

There's plenty of creepy characters in Lynch's movies. The Mystery Man in Lost Highway.... cmon.

Yo are you serious with the Deniro comment? I’m with ya on The Irishman thing & honestly as we are on the subject of The Irishman. One of the worst films I have ever seen that was raved about so much.I absolutely hated it. Huge Scorsese fan too & film buff in general my entire life. Anywho Deniro is one the greatest actors to ever do it. Who else could have played Max Cady from Cape Fear? Michael from Deer Hunter? Sam from Ronin? Louis Gara from Jackie Brown? Mudderfooking Travis Bickle from Taxi Driver? James Conway in Goodfellas? LaMotta in Raging Bull? Cmon get out of here writing that rubbish. Imo Dafoe is one of the greatest actors to ever live & so is Deniro. Both aren’t similar & both can act. Just 2 different styles when it comes to selections of the characters they choose to play.

Sorry you've got a shitty internet connexion (hey, it's been uploaded in 720p60, buster)

it depends on who you're set up with

"Set up" is just preparation of the character. What clothes they wear, their mannerisms, and other things about the character that are not in the script but need to be worked out before filming.

Defoe's character graduated H. Weinstein School of Experimental Setups.

Thanks for your very kind comment that totally proves that you have watched all our videos...

Agreed. Casting Cage didn't help it either.

Worst than Dune ?
