Mulholland Drive

Mulholland Drive by David Lynch is one of the most confusing movies I have ever watched. I knew that when I saw ending explained videos in YouTube, that this film was going to be an interesting film with lots of different takes on it.

A question I have is who is the cowboy man? He opened Diane’s room and told her to wake up.

Also what’s up with the creature?

At first I didn’t understand what was happening and I have seen odd films before. Sometimes I felt that the film was slow in some parts but that might’ve been because I didn’t understand what was happening. After thinking, I made a theory. So, Diane is Betty and Rita is Camilla. Diane began to dream when Camilla was killed. She felt guilty and began to dream where her life was better. Diane was mad that Camilla’s no longer was interested in her. Camilla’s new lover is Adam. In the dream, Adam’s life was ruined by the weird mafia and his wife cheated on him. If the dream was Diane’s version of a better life then it makes sense that her rival’s life was destroyed. She also made Rita (Camilla) very dependent to her. She even had Rita’s memories erased to help her and made herself the only one that can help Rita. Dreams are illogical which explains why Betty almost immediately wanted to help Rita instead if calling the police that there is an intruder in the home. Betty is kind of dumb and naive since she automatically believed what Rita told her. Maybe this is how Diane was when she first arrived to Hollywood. She probably was a nice person and Hollywood destroyed her personality. She became disillusioned and lost in Hollywood.
