I am honored to introduce you to my guest today, Mr. “Deep in his heart, every man longs for a battle to fight, an adventure to live, and a beauty to rescuse.” Tweet That - John Eldredge John Eldredge We talk about the secret to a man’s soul, the single question every man needs to have answered, society’s attack on gender, how to embrace authentic masculinity, and why every man is wild at heart. Today, I am honored and have the privilege of talking with the author of that quote and one of my top 5 most recommended books on masculinity (Wild at Heart), John Eldredge.
but hey, that's just me.“Deep in his heart every man longs for a battle to fight, an adventure to live, and a beauty to rescue.” This is one of my favorite quotes about masculinity and, if you’ve been following us for long, you’ve heard it from me a thousand times. Though I honestly don't think this film deserves to stand beside the likes of other winners like "Parasite", "Shoplifters", "Blue is the Warmest Color", or "4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days", I also can't ever imagine being so upset over a film award that I'd boo the recipient. According to IMDb's trivia section on this film, Roger Ebert, who seemed to have a distaste for Lynch (check out his "Blue Velvet" review), booed so loudly that it almost drowned out the cheers when the award was announced. As a side note: it blows my mind that this won the Palme d'Or in 1990. When Lynch is at the peak of his directing powers, his films can prompt me to question and meditate upon the very nature of our reality "Wild at Heart" is just a decent road trip movie with a few really quirky moments and a whole lot of wackos. It's not bad, it just doesn't do a whole lot for me, especially when compared to Lynch's masterpieces (Twin Peaks TV show, "Eraserhead", "Mulholland Drive", "Inland Empire"). Though I enjoyed my time with Sailor (Nicolas Cage, "Leaving Las Vegas"), Lula (Laura Dern, "Marriage Story"), and all the other various other bizarre characters that populate this weird romantic tale, I can honestly say that this is one of my least favorite Lynch movies. I feel like "Wild at Heart" is one of Lynch's forgotten films, and I can sort of see why.
