Mulholland Drive

What was that all about then ???

Methinks you mean Mulholland Falls there jonno rather the far more difficult to decipher Mulholland Drive directed by David Lynch.

It is an amazing film though awful difficult to totally "get" which I think is the point there was another thread awhile ago going into various theories in the intended meaning of the film.

The one which holds most water with me is that most of the film was the blonde girl's erotic fantasy. Probably contained in that brief scene where she was masturbating before commiting suicide.

Now its been about a year since ive seen the film so forgive me if i have this mixed up.
Didnt the blonde haired girl and the black haired girl go to the house where there was a naked blonde girl on the bed ??
Now from what ive read {which is little} this dead girl is meant to be the blonde girl ??? even though she is alive outside the house when the black haired girl sees the body.

Now either i have twisted this around in my head into an uber lynchian film or else its one od these things that your not meant to look at logically. Either way i enjoyed it and must check out some more of his work

Your right there. Stupid mistake from me. I didn't see Mulholland Drive and realiosed my mistake in teh video shop last night when I saw it there. Forgot all about Lynch's film.

Yeah i tried for hours after watching it to figure it out and came up with some theories but none of them quite fit so i think youre right

its one od these things that your not meant to look at logically

Once the lesbian stuff started, i thought it was the blonde girl turned into the dead girl but then i thought she turned into the weird guy in the coffee shop at the start of the film who described his dream.

God Im lost

As ive said above i liked the film, but at the risk of getting lynched
I think the whole explaining things away as a dream or a fantasy is a rather weak way of covering plot holes, the film itself was enjoyable but leaves me with and empty feeling, i dont think it can just be figured out like a math equation and it looses something for me because of that.
Or it could be ive missed the point entirely.

I have no idea what went on exactly... But I loved it. I like to be confused by films...
And it is David Lynch so you gotta expect some lunacy:D

only read this if you've watched the film a few times and are still having problems figuring some bits out - it'd spoil the fun otherwise.
