Mulholland Drive confuses me

[welst10]

I just couldn't undertsand the story. To its credit, the two lesian scenes are the hottest out there I think.

watch it a few more times, you'll start to understand.

So in most part of the movie, betty and rita are ghosts, right?

 

[Platypus]

no...

if you want to find out the meaning salon.com has a review of it that is 'kind of' there, but they miss a lot of stuff.

I think up until she had her masterbating dream, everything was fake.

Otherwise, just skip to the good scenes and ignore the rest.

 

[welst10]

then how come betty become diane and rita became carmilla? and coco the housekeep became the director's mom?

The plot summary sounds like a chick-flic'd version of Requiem for a Dream. Now that was a nice movie.

man shoots tv pilot.
man finds out that tv pilot is canceled
man plays cut and paste into a movie
audience pretend it means something

It confuses you because it's pointless. That movie was utter sh*t. Even worse than secret window. That people actually pretended to get something from a movie that admits it has nothing to give is even sadder to me.

Just because you don't understand it doesn't mean others can't find enjoyment from it.

here I found it for you: clicky

Bumping up an old thread, but...
Just watched the movie, that was pretty messed up. Before reading the website CR linked to I thought that Betty/Diane/Rita were the same person and that she was suffering from schizophrenia or something. In any case, the salon.com explanation seems to makes much more sense; one of the weirdest movies I've seen, without a doubt.

I loved that movie... the first time I saw it, after I came out of the theatre I felt like I was in a different world or something... had trouble falling asleep athat night too.

I actually drove Mulholland Drive only a week ago. Some awesome views from up there.
