Laura Dern was also ideal for Lynch, partly because he wanted Dern's real mother - Dianne Ladd - to play the part of her screen mother. When casting, Nicolas Cage wasn't even auditioned - he already had a reputation that put him in the slightly-surreal-and-definitely-nuts bracket. This strangeness and perversity is characteristic of Lynch's work where there is no clear division between good and evil, just some kind of kind of surreality. The peripheral characters are the kind of outrageous characterisations that seem to be part of a dream or a nightmare - obscure, dangerous, menacing, and eccentric people that you can imagine but never encounter. She struggles between love for her mother and love for her man is she being led astray or not? He's also in the wrong place at the wrong time too often.
