Wild at Heart is a 1990 drama starring Nicolas Cage and Laura Dern.
Without giving too much away the story is about two lovers, Sailor (played by Nicolas Cage) and Lula (played by Laura Dern). One day Sailor kills a man and goes to jail. When he gets out of jail on parole, they meet each other again. Lula's mother, who is jealous of them, disapproves her daughter's relationship with Sailor. When they ran away, Lula's mother asks her boyfriend to kill Sailor. While the boyfriend has trouble finding the couple, Lula's mother hires another man to kill Sailor. Meanwhile, a rainbow spectrum of sex between Sailor and Lula during their runaway makes her pregnant. With the prospect of being father and diminishing cash in his pocket, Sailor is persuaded by a local crook to participate in an armed bank robbery. If he fails, he'll have to go back in jail again. If he goes back in jail again, what will happen to Lula and their child in her body?
What I find particularly interesting about this film has nothing to with the story line, but the fact that when I first looked for the DVD at a store, I couldn't find it anywhere, so I asked a clerk for help. She checked the registration number on their computer and guided me to a section that was labeled "CULT". Though I don't deny that the film contains many disturbingly violent as well as shamelessly obscene and shockingly freaky scenes, I had always regarded it as a story of true love.
All in all, the DVD is worth watching, because it overwhelms you with the power a young and beautiful couple's true love can have.
