Mulholland Dr.	comment	Mulholland Drive is a mind-screwing 2001 drama/mystery film, directed by mind-screw king David Lynch, that helped launch the career of Naomi Watts.The plot primarily focuses on two young women: Betty Elms (Watts), a perky blonde Canadian who comes to Hollywood to pursue an acting career, and Rita (Laura Harring), a sultry brunette who's developed a case of amnesia after an attempted hit on her turns into a car accident on the eponymous Mulholland Drive.After arriving at LAX and moving into her aunt Ruth's apartment, Betty discovers a nude Rita in the shower and isn't too weirded out because she thinks that Rita is a friend of her aunt Ruth's. However, she soon finds out that Rita has amnesia and that all she remembers is being in the accident. They then discover not only sets of 100 dollar bills in Rita's purse but also a blue key, further increasing the mystery. So out of the goodness of her heart and because "It'll be just like in the movies!", Betty decides to play Nancy Drew and help Rita discover her true identity, and the two become fast friends (and more).In addition to the main plot, there is also a film director (Justin Theroux), who just can't seem to catch a break. He even walks in on his wife in bed with their pool man, played by Billy Ray Cyrus of all people. Betty's eccentric landlady is played by Ann Miller in her final role before her death. There is a terribly inept hitman played by the incomparable Mark Pellegrino, a creepy cowboy who may or may not be part of this world, a surreal theatre with an even more surreal magician/MC, that mysterious blue box, and some sort of grungy zombie hobo who lives behind an old-fashioned diner and gives a man a heart attack at just the sight of it.And then the movie gets really weird in the second half.Yes, it's one of those movies.

Mulholland Dr. / int_119e320e	comment	Red Herring Twist: The whole movie is composed of those. The first half of it has several seemingly unrelated storylines, implying that eventually they will tie together somehow; in the second half, they are either completely dropped (like the mafia kingpin Mr. Roque) or used in unexpected, Mind Screwy way (like the hitman Joe and his black book). Possibly explained by the fact that the whole first part of the movie was the protagonist's dream... or was it?

Mulholland Dr. / int_13d7a65e	comment	The Artifact: This film began life as an ABC pilot, and was reworked by Lynch as a feature film after ABC rejected it. There are bits in the movie that never go anywhere, presumably because they would have been developed in the proposed series. Robert Forster appears in one scene as a detective investigating the car crash and is never seen again. Neither is Mr. Roque after the shooting of Adam's movie was stopped.

Mulholland Dr. / int_17ce80aa	type	All There in the Manual
Mulholland Dr. / int_17ce80aa	comment	All There in the Manual: Sort of. David Lynch was kind enough to provide ten clues in the DVD's booklet, to help the viewer "unlock" the movie. The clues are as follows: Pay particular attention in the beginning of the film: At least two clues are revealed before the credits. Notice appearances of the red lampshade. Can you hear the title of the film that Adam Kesher is auditioning actresses for? Is it mentioned again? An accident is a terrible eventâ€”notice the location of the accident. Who gives a key, and why? Notice the robe, the ashtray, the coffee cup. What is felt, realized and gathered at the Club Silencio? Did talent alone help Camilla? Note the occurrences surrounding the man behind Winkie's. Where is Aunt Ruth? This being David Lynch, most of the clues are pretty confusing in themselves—but some actually do help, like the one that tells you to pay attention to the details of the pre-credits sequence; and the one saying to pay attention to the two appearances of the blue key in the film. Basically it points towards the first part being a dream. Sort of...

Mulholland Dr. / int_27a42ebc	comment	Spiritual Successor: To Lynch's previous film Lost Highway as they are both about characters who adapt multiple identities and explore altered environments that are implied to be delusions on the protagonists' parts. Some viewers and critics have even commented that Mulholland Drive's narrative structure is the reverse of Lost Highway's narrative structure. To Sunset Boulevard, one of Lynch's favorite films. Both movies borrow their titles from actual Hollywood streets, and they both use street signs as title cards for stylization. Not only that, but both films are also very critical of Hollywood, and their protagonists are unsuccessful actresses who are trapped in their own fantasies.

Not only does her character act well in the scene, but Naomi Watts acts acting well. Not too many actresses that can do that.

Mulholland Dr. / int_4c8a0849	comment	Mirror Universe: The "Betty story" and the "Diane story" are this to each other, at least to begin with. In the Betty story, Betty is an idealistic and gifted young actress who finds true love with 'Rita' and whose talented is noticed by people around her; Adam is a hapless loser whose wife throws him out and whose career is almost destroyed until he learns to be a spineless hack; 'Rita' is a gorgeous brunette who loves Betty; Camilla is a moderately talented actor who only gets work because of her connections; Joe the hitman is comically bad at his job. In the Diane story, Diane, Betty's equivalent, is a depressed and struggling actress who lacks love and respect, and whose lover Camilla leaves her for another man (and another woman); Adam is a successful director who's engaged to Camilla; Camilla is a successful actress whose career is way ahead of Diane's; Joe is a competent hitman who succeeds in killing Camilla. But the Betty story begins to fall apart, as if under the influence of the Diane story.

This led to a Psychotic Love Triangle and If I Can't Have Youâ€¦, culminating in Diane hiring a hitman to kill Camilla. Unusually for the trope, it would then take place in the past, from the position of the losing party. However, in another twist to the usual trope, despite being in a relationship with a man, Camilla seems to have already replaced Diane with another woman. Maybe.

Probably subverted, since the ending implies that it was a dream of a failed actress who ordered a hit on her successful friend and lover out of envy and jealousy, and the overall feel of mystery and paranoia is due to her subconscious feelings of guilt and fear of being caught.

In the second part of the movie, the Real Life part where Naomi Watts is revealed to be bitter failed actress Diane, the waitress at Winkie's is named Betty. This ties in with Diane's admission in the second part of the movie that she worked as a waitress at Winkie's.

Mulholland Dr. / int_aa2cd0c9	comment	Motifs: A recurring theme throughout the film is the emphasis on dreams, which foreshadows that most of the film was a dream of Diane Selwyn. The earliest hint of this is in one of the film's opening scenes, which features a first-person shot of someone falling face-first onto a bed. The film's dialogue also accentuates the subject of dreams, such as Dan discussing a recurring nightmare with a friend or Betty calling Hollywood a "dream place". Even the film's advertising plays into this as most of the trailers use the phrase "city of dreams" when summarizing the film. Lynch himself describes the film as "a love story in the city of dreams".

Two men are talking in a diner, with one of them telling the other about a nightmare he had, in which there was a horrible abomination in the back of the diner. Everything happens in broad daylight, with many customers around, and nothing indicates anything out of the ordinary. Nonetheless, they go to check, and when it looks like nobody is there, and he is about to calm down... the abomination actually appears. At its heart, the club scene is just... a woman lip-syncing and a band on CD. But with the motif of dreams, it becomes upsetting.

Mulholland Dr. / int_c75df49a	comment	Shout-Out: Numerous homages to various films. Some of them (including The Wizard of Oz and Ingmar Bergman's Persona), seem to be intended as points of reference. Also Sunset Boulevard, which also has an ingenue named Betty. The use of the Mulholland Drive street sign as a title drop is a shout-out to the same thing in Sunset Boulevard. The actual car from Sunset Boulevard is parked at the entrance of the studio lot when Betty Elms goes for her audition. Fight Club contains a blink-and-you'll-miss-it homage to Blue Velvet, where the characters walk past a street sign (it reads "Lincoln" in Blue Velvet, "Washington" in Fight Club). Lynch seems to have taken note: early in Mulholland Drive, a shot of a man's arm reaching for a phone is identical to the shot of Tyler Durden picking up the phone in his first encounter with Marla. Carnival of Souls, when Rita exits the crashed car. Given The Reveal at the end of Carnival of Souls, this is also Foreshadowing. Some of the more nightmarish sequences allude heavily to the Brazilian "Coffin Joe" films. The last line of the film, "Silencio," is also the last line of Jean-Luc Godard's 1963 film Contempt, which is also a movie about people making movies, and which is also a film in which the protagonist gets dumped by their partner for someone more powerful and glamorous.

Mulholland Dr. / int_ebbf48c0	comment	Silent Credits: Except for some deep noise. Makes sense, as the last line in the film says "Silencio." (Spanish for "silence")

Mulholland Dr. / int_ed81daa2	type	Mockstery Tale
Mulholland Dr. / int_ed81daa2	comment	Mockstery Tale: It starts as a quintessential mystery movie involving an amnesiac Femme Fatale Rita in Los Angeles, a young enthusiastic actress Betty trying to help her, a mafia syndicate, a hitman after a mysterious black book, etc. However, Betty and Rita's investigation clarifies very little, and the story takes a really surreal turn from a certain point...

Mulholland Dr. / int_f85d3c1e	comment	Sequencing Deception: In its last act (which conflicts with much of what is shown before), does some rapid intercutting between scenes that take place before and after the second-to-last scene.
