    The opening scene in David Lynch's Blue Velvet portrays the theme of the entire film. During this sequence he uses a pattern of showing the audience pleasant images, and then disturbing images to contrast the two.

The camera starts on a bright blue sky with birds chirping and flying by and then tilts down to bright red roses over a bright white fence

    because they are women? I say if a woman chooses this kind of challenge, then she is more than capable.

    rooted in fantasy” (Stavrakakis 62). Hence fantasy should not be seen as opposed to reality because it is fantasy that sustains what we experience as reality. This idea that fantasy supports our sense of reality-is evident in Lost Highway and earlier Lynch films, and he uses fantasy as a major category or theme in almost all of his films.
