Erm... what?

90 minutes containing 9 colouring books of failure. Bliss.

Would you like me to explain?

I can help with some explanations also.

Don't forget the SPOILER or I'll voodoo doll yo' ass.

Google can also help with an explanation. I'd probably just copy and paste anyway, too lazy to type up an explanation.

Mulholland Drive is one of my favourites of all time. You get to see Naomi Watts' boobs, which is nice.

Naomi Watts' boobs can also be seen in 21 grams -if interested xD

And the only explanation for Mulholland Dr. is that you should keep watching it, finding some clues to build up your own theory, cause there no definitive one. And that's the beauty in it.

Mulholland Dr is my second favourite movie of all times btw.

rewatched last night. quality film.

Yeah, I've seen 21 Grams. Her boobs looked better in Mulholland drive, though they're always fantastic.

I think Mulholland Drive there can only be one theory to it really.. I've never heard any others that would make sense.

What's the first?

Well they're all like versions of the basic theory. The more you watch, the more you find clues to build your own version. It's like a painting, that whatever you analyse in it, can be implemented to the masterpiece, and because of that, Mulholland Dr. is one of the movies that you can never grow tired from.

i grew tired on my first watch.

SPOILER

Well, the only thing that makes sense to me is the first part of the film being a dream, there's lots of clues leaning towards that. And the second part is reality. The first part, Naomi Watts wanted Audrey to escape from Mulholland Drive.. because she was the one who put her there. First part was the dream, second part was the reality. Agree/disagree?

And what's your number 1 favourite film of all time if Mulholland Drive is number 2?!

Really interesting documentary. Especially from 97 onwards.

I managed to successfully follow that film up until the girls went to that backstreet theatre or whatever the hell it was, and just totally lost it from there. Good film overall I'd say, but not one I'd particularly wanna watch again.

it didn't do much for me. it had some moments but mostly just bored me. it took me a few attempts to watch all of it. shut it off after an hour or so my first viewing.

Nice.

Yeah that's more or less how I understood the film also. Brilliant film btw.

Mulholland Dr. was a bit confusing. From what I can remember, it seemed like the actors play different characters about halfway in and consistency between the first and the second half sort of falls apart. Maybe the first half is a dream of a character in the second half, but I guess Lynch could also just be ****ing around.

Just make something well produced, let people get familiar with it for a bit and then break it down and make it utterly confusing with or without a point and there you go. You are now an official genius ;) Of course it's not that simple and Lynch has done a lot of appreciated stuff, but that's sometimes the feeling I get when I watch this kind of stuff.

I've only seen it once, but I don't tend to watch amazing films over and over and to me, that's what Mulholland Dr was - amazing.

What's so amazing about it?

The cinematography in the first half of the film was so subtly done, only on reflection you realise that the colours were vibrant and dream like, in the second half of the film it changes, it has a darker tone to it. I found that to be really great, the contrast of the first half to the second bit of the film. The acting was superb, Naomi Watts reached certain emotional levels and was really believable. It was edge of the seat stuff, there wasn't a moment where I switched off and it was a really trippy and surreal film, that for me makes an amazing film.

What I like about Mullholand Dr. and Lynch's other films, besides those visual, formal qualities that CunningStunt mentioned, is that themes in this film are not so obvious and in your face, they're not told, but you rather feel them on the intuitive level. That's not to say that you can't tell what this film is about. I thought that was clear by the end of the film. SPOILER: It's about the horrors of a lost soul trying to escape from facing the guilt. The first part of the film shows the ways she (Betty/Diane) is trying to do that through a perfect dreamworld. But eventually the cruel reality creeps in and she's forced to face it. It doesn't really matter whether this dream is taken literally or on a metaphysical level, the point is she's struggling to escape the reality.

Many people have understood this film as a puzzle that needs to be solved. But it's more than that, it's not even about the puzzle, that's just the narrative structure of the film. We're not really meant to solve it like some mathematicians or detectives, because it works on the level of dreams - it's loosely knit, associative and intuitive. That is not the same as something arbitrary with no meaning beneath all the artsy shit. In fact, with all the abstraction and spontaneity, Mullholand Dr. is a very consistent film all the way through. I guess part real in the word surreal actually means something.

For those who found this film confusing I suggest to watch it again. It can be very rewarding.
Sorry for the long post, I was inspired.:o:

^Exactly.
Great post btw.

Well, thank you. Sometimes, when I write these posts longer than I intend, I wonder if anyone will read it.
Good to know that at least a Lynch fan will. :thumb:

I read it too! :D

Great :D. Are you also a Lynch fan, or you just like Mulholland Dr?

Lynch fan, but I think Mulholland Dr is my favourite of his films. Though I did like Blue Velvet.

I think my favorite is Lost Highway with Mulholland Dr. and Eraserhead very closely behind it, although I love all of his films (well, maybe not Dune). And I absolutely loved Twin Peaks series.

Sorry that I posted and then ran off. Late night Call of Duty beckoned me. :D

Thank you for trying to explain it. I'm reading through the Wikipedia page and some others and starting to grasp what it was about. I think the film was cool, I kinda like having to figure stuff out after, but at the same time there is only so much enjoyment I can get out of a movie like this...

I would agree with you, but then all the lesbian shit started to happen and it recaptured my attention... ;)

Absolutely loved it... I even got a bit teary at one of the scenes towards the end. Great film. Especially since I saw the first one at the cinemas when I was 7 years old, so a little sentimental.

^ I didn't even see part 2 yet. And I barely remember part 1.
I think I should watch all three one day. When a DVDrip is available for part 3, I think I'll do that.

You should! Number 2 wasn't that great I don't think. But I loved the first one as a kid and still think it's brilliant, and while the second one wasn't anything amazing, the third is just brilliant. Very moving!

I'd honestly say I liked 1 and 2 about equally. I'm really looking forward to 3. Sucks that it's in 3D though, hopefully I can find somewhere that's showing it in 2D.

You have some kind of problem with the third dimension? :mad:

Yeah, I saw it in 2D. And all of my friends who saw it on 3D said it wasn't really worth paying extra and the hassle of 3D - didn't do anything extra for the film.

That pretty much sums up how I feel about 3D in general. I don't see the point of paying extra for something that won't add anything to the experience except a headache.

3D = expensive and it gives you a headache. I really do wish it'd fuck off.

i got a pretty good toy story 3 screener copy if anyone wants. i was determined to wait until a true rip but it was good enough to watch.

What's the file format?
Would you be able to upload it to some place like Zshare or Loombo so we could all stream it online?

i know of an avi and mkv version. i can get you links to it.
