Cool character last names in the movie


Red, White, and Blue

Yeah I found the color themes in the movie realy neat/interesting too. I actually recently submitted a lot of the red/white/blue symbolism in trivia; it's the last/long winded post in the trivia list; regarding this specific topic. Plus there's a Lot more than what all I mentioned. I find new stuff in the film everytime I watch it!! It's just so clever IMO, in this highly cynical film's "all American," with the grime/horrific things/ect, that Hides behind the front.

Much like, well in American Psycho (Bret Easton Ellis' novel moreso than the great film..) that's been mentioned on this board already with some blatant themes. I often think of the same/similar themes in most of David Lynch's work. Specifily in his films (&yes, both directors; Araki & Lynch; are Very different directors. I'm just talkng about similar themes..) like Blue Velvet, Twin Peaks (series & film), ect; that all share the same "USA/white picket fences/"beautiful subirbia"/ect things; but "Underneath" is all the grimy horror & Reality of things. Read over my trivia if you want, where I mention the last names/significant objects (like the yo yo/flag/ect..) & other symbolic/neat things in this (to Me/just my Opinion (s)..) classic movie. If there's anything I didn't mention (I had to make the trivia deal Somewhat short; which is difficult being a long winded person.ha..) of these themes; I'd love to hear other fans' opinions/ideas here on this fun & interesting topic!!
