David Lynch and Mulholland Drive

[Tskware]

The previous thread got combined for some unknown reason with the Bob Eucker thread . . .

I did see Eraserhead and Blue Velvet many years ago, so am familiar with Lynch. Anyway, Amazon Prime had Mulholland Drive featured so I sat down to watch it this week. It is supposed to be his masterpiece and is very highly regarded, but I had never seen it.

In my entire life, I think that is weirdest movie I ever saw. I have absolutely no idea what the hell it was about, has about three or four storylines that made little sense to me. I even read the Wiki page on the movie, and still did not get it. Someone tell me what I did not understand?

I will say the eye candy with Naomi Watts and Laura Harring (former Miss USA I believe) make it worth at least a partial viewing.

His stuff has always been too weird for my liking. I don't like movies that are TOO ambiguous where essentially the director says to the audience "it means whatever you want it to mean".

Like is any of this real?

I do think he's talented and does a great job capturing that "something sinister always permeating" feel.

Lynch could make a surreal nightmare like Muholland Drive

Then he could make a beautiful spiritual film like The Straight Story.

That’s how you know he had talent.
