Mulholland Dr.

After watching this movie 3 times, I finally got most of what actually went down. Admittedly, I learned a good amount of details searching the internet after coming up with my own opinion. I think this movie is a real masterpiece in how deep it was, and in how every detail that seemed trivial and confusing in my first and second viewings started to make a lot of sense. Has anyone else here seen this movie? What are your thoughts on it?

I watched it and all I took away from it was boobies.

Naomi Watts.

:oops:

I hate that road. You always get stuck behind some slow moving car with nowhere to pass.

My small mind couldn't comprehend the movie, but none the less, I wanted to jump through the screen when both those very hot scenes took place! Thanks for the wood David!

Honestly though, I somewhat enjoyed the film, even though I've only seen it once and definately haven't been able to grasp the whole thing. I enjoyed it more than I did Eraserhead, but neither don't come close to Blue Velvet (personally), which I absolutely loved. Just my opinon.

I remember seeing half of it once late at night. I still have no idea what happened.

You're basically saying that there is a core theme that does connect and make sense of, all the other subplots, scenes, and such? I think I get what you mean.

Though honestly, I believe with Lynch, he really wants people to feel more of a raw emotion from the experience of watching something and not always knowing what is going on.

At least that is how I felt with Blue Velvet, that is why I thought it was such a fantasic movie. We go on this journey with a (somewhat) normal guy, and experience a strange world filled with crazy events, and almost unintelligible characters- and that in itself is what makes it so engaging, not deciphering every meaning and disorder behind the characters, because that is what takes away from the mystery (as well as the immersion of feeling the way the protagonist probably does).

Though I think for Mulholland Dr., it does seem like it's meant to be more of a puzzle to put together, rather than a certain type of experience, like I believe Blue Velvet to be, but I think that in itself is still great, and I'll probably have to see it again to reflect on the movie more.

I wish Mulholland Drive turned into the TV series it was supposed to be. This movie (at least a big part of it) was actually the pilot of the series. David Lynch usually places characters in his scripts that aren't really explained. Like the Cowboy, the man in the red room, those 2 detectives in the diner or the homeless guy, but I'd like to see more of them.

I didn't care for it. I read somewhere online that it was originally intended to be a pilot episode for a t.v. series, which would hvae made a lot more sense. There were too many plot lines that went nowhere such as those two gentlemen in the diner discussing one of the individual's dreams.

Easily one of Lynch's best, up there with Blue Velvet.

Now that everyone has figured out Mulholland Drive, go watch "A Single Man." :)Elann2008
