Post by: on August 27, 2002, 07:16:57 AM: There was a thread about this in rants and raves awhile back. I think the film can be interpreted in a few different ways. Movie buffs like to argue about what it\'s really about. I honestly think that Lynch didn\'t want it to be 100% explainable.

You definitely have to see it more than once. I recommend that you go over to imdb.com, search Mulholland Dr., and go to the message boards. They have people who write 3-page essays about their particular interpretation of the movie, and some of them are damn good.

The DVD was disappointed though, wasn\'t it? No extras. No commentary. No chapter stops.

I haven\'t seen it, but hard to figure out doesn\'t necessarily mean bad.

I\'m surprised you haven\'t heard of it. Some people think it\'s a masterpiece; other people hate it. Either way I think it warrents at least one viewing. :)

Post by: ##RaCeR## on August 27, 2002, 09:22:42 PM: Well, I did a bit of research. The first half of the movie is evidently a dream. Betty is dreaming of what her life will be (The lady that gets hit by a car is her future self).

So in esence, she has sex with herself in the movie.

I love the movie, but I have to agree with Sara, the DVD was dissapointing. I went out and purchased it as soon as possible to find out that it came with nothing of interest, except the movie itself. Oh well... Still a great movie.

I love his movies because after you watch a Lynch movie, you think about the movie. The movies are very strange and sometimes you think WTF is this bullshit, but that\'s what it makes so interesting.

And Racer, be kind enough to use the spoiler tag, or at least WRITE SPOILER FIRST! :mad:

Actually I believe your wrong. I finally watched this gem on DVD and it is brilliant.

Here\'s my brief \'explaination\':

[sp]Most of the movie is a dream. Only the last ½ hour or so is reality. In real life the blonde girl (that we get to know as \'Betty\' in the dream/first part of the movie) is an actress called Diane Selwyn. Her \'friend\' who we get to know as Diane in the dream is really Camilla Rhodes. The name Betty comes from the waitress at Winkies. [/sp]

Well, I can see how this would take a while to explain... so here, read these sites instead (obviously filled with spoilers :)):

http://www.imdb.com/oldboards/showpost.pl?Cat=&Board=b0166924&Number=1272029&page=2&view=collapsed&mode=flat&sb=5.

http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0166924/board/nest/114318.

It makes sense when you think about it. Great movie. :eyemouth:
