anyone understand mulholland drive?

Question

id be intrigued to hear your analysis of it, mine is rather wobbly.

um, the david lynch movie, not the place haha

Answer 1

Nessa K has it, just about. It's a truly surreal film - and Lynch is one of the greatest living surrealists - where the dream world and the real world blend seamlessly together into a kind of freudian nightmare. The blue box is obviously a kind of doorway from the dream world into the real world. The dream world is all unrealistic fairytale expectations, the real world is a sordid reality of failure and hopelessness in rented rooms... The sense of amnesia that recurs trhroughout the film reminds us of the tip of the tongue sensation we get when we wake up after a really vivid dream that we can't remember at all. There are moments of pure genius in there - the meeting with "the cowboy", the film producer and his cup of coffee, Naomi watts' acting audition, the scene where the director has to pick the right girl....... Great, great film!

Answer 2

I don't think anyone, except David, would understand the movie fully. I would even guess that he is unsure of some of the things he did. I would suggest checking out some of the fan sites for interpretations.

My take is that the whole story is based on Diana going insane. Her dreams become reality etc..
I haven't watched it in a while, so I can't get too detailed. I just think that she is insane. I think that Lynch probably is trying to get a lot of his thoughts out through this. Different themes on life and the mind. How it copes with stress and trauma.

Answer 3

It's one of the best films I have ever seen. I love Lynch's direction and the whole plot. If you watch the extras on the DVD you will see that there is no actual need to understand something. It's not a simple story, it's just made like that to make people think and wonder. Otherwise they could just watch soap operas!

Answer 4

The first parts a dream/fantasy about what she (the Naomi Watts character) wishes had happened but slowly the reality of what did happen (Rita did die, Rita is in control) starts coming into the dream, and she shoots herself at the end because she can't deal with the reality of it. Hope that makes sense!

Answer 5

Mulholland drive is in the Hollywood Hills and Santa Monica Mountains. It used to be a nice place to go to with your date to sit in the car and look at the view and listen to music on the radio etc.
Not now tho.

Answer 6

Great movie; but I try not to analysize it too much. Below is the IMDB site. Memorable Quotes, goofs and trivia on the left side made fun reading. Also you can read viewer comments

Answer 7

each and all of the scenes the place naomi watts is conventional are all a dream. truthfully she is a suffering and in all probability talentless actress and she or he's left by ability of her female buddy. i can´t remeber the action picture precisely yet i know that at a element she starts dreaming. there are diverse clues in that there are issues she sees in actual lif e on the beginning up of the action picture that are talked approximately in later tiers of the action picture in diffused techniques. i think of the actress in the action picture poster is one in each of them. I´m unsure if i´m saying it top yet what i'm advantageous approximately is that quicker or later in the action picture she is dreaming.
