Mulholland Drive...the movie
Watched the 2001 David Lynch movie...Mulholland Drive a few days ago (for the third time)
Highly rated with Naomi Watts (very hot) and hypnotic. Has anyone seen this movie and understood all the twists and turns? After the third watch..I'm still confused..but it's intriguing enough to want to watch again.

I, too watched it (again) the other day when I noticed it on Netflix (or Prime?)
I absolutely do not understand all the twists and turns and dream sequences (maybe it's all a dream sequence, or a great big metaphor). Still, any David Lynch movie or TV show is fun to watch, even if a little confusing. Great direction and cinematography. Great acting, by a lot of great actors. I'll watch again.

I think it's all Diane's dream 'til the "time to wake up little girl" line. In reality she's been the jealous understudy and lover of a genuine star and feels jilted and bitter when said star announces her intention to marry her director. Diane arranges her murder by a couple of hit men then falls into a guilty sleep and dreams a fantasy rationalization which is our perspective in the film.
That's my take, which could be entirely wrong, but only David Lynch knows for sure. |

I understand movies so much more when I use C Caption.

Or is that a flashback also? I'll have to think on that..sounds plausible. I looked on Amazon for the book..to better understand. $38 for a philosophers take...not worth it! I did use CC...it helps.

That one is a lot more understandable.
