In fact, before today, I always thought that I understood 80% of the film. After browsing this website, especially after seeing the heated discussion in the forum, I found that it contains countless possibilities, or a similar Da Vinci Code. Puzzle game. During several hours of browsing, I was more and more shocked by the things I saw, such as:
1. It turns out that many people hold a view that Diane was sexually abused as a child, and the other person is probably his relatives. This conclusion can be reached through detailed analysis, such as the conversation between Betty and the elderly couple after getting off the plane, and the strange smiles of the couple in the car afterwards, the game between Betty and the old man named Woody, the mysterious cowboy The phrase "Hey, wake up, pretty girl" and so on, even so, I still feel a bit far-fetched, or I am not digging hard enough.
2. There are several possibilities surrounding the film. One of them is Betty, Diane, Rita and Camilla are a person at all. Rita/Camilla is a fantasy of Diane in reality. There are several points to prove that the first is the mirror. For example, Betty saw Rita through the mirror for the first time, and Rita saw the poster of the female star named Rita through the mirror. Rita wore a golden wig and Betty for the first time. Appeared in front of the mirror; and the scene where Coco came to Betty's house and saw Rita, which was analyzed by countless people. Rita seemed to only [can] talk to Betty, and other people seemed to ignore her... etc. Wait, among all kinds of detailed speculations, the one that I can't bear is that the prototype of Rita/Camilla is the male and female guy who lives on the 12th. In reality, Diane had an ambiguous relationship with her, and then broke up.
3. Another point of view is whether Diane's dream contains Rita/Camilla's dream? Is there a dream in a dream?
4. Another bold assumption is that everyone is dead. The only real scene in the film is that Aunt Ruth comes in for a tour and then leaves after hearing the sound.
5. The more exaggerated hypothesis is that these were actually dreams of the man who said that he saw the monster behind the wall, because he saw Diane and the killer in Winkie's cafe during the day, so he made up such a dream.
6. The prostitute who appeared in Pink's and talked to the killer and asked for a cigarette [some people say she looks like Naomi, I look more like Cameron Diaz] and the Winkie's waitress who looks like Diane suggest that Diane is an actor on her way to Hollywood dreams To entertaining and then to the process of becoming a prostitute?
7. Many people associate the last crucial Adam and Camilla engagement party with the "Last Supper", so the kiss between the blonde and Camilla has the meaning of the kiss of Judas betrayal.

There are too many clues in the details of this film, and Jane has reached the point of ubiquity. I don’t know if these fans are too horny, but I let them analyze it more and more creepy, because you can’t know exactly in the film. Where is the beginning of the dream and where is the end of the dream, there will be completely different interpretations in different places. When Naomi Watts talked about his understanding of this film, he mentioned a very interesting theory-"Gestalt", to the effect that any object that appears in a dream, even a rag at the foot of a table, is a microcosm of your personality. Therefore, under this major premise, it is not difficult to understand all kinds of possibilities, or all of this cannot be completely explained by logic at all. Who stipulates that dreams must be completely reasonable? Director David Lynch is really cunning. He confuses the audience with reality and struggling in dreams. It is this kind of personal experience of loss and confusion that makes me like Mulholland Drive more and more. No wonder some people call Mulholland Drive "the closest Dream movie".
Some stories behind the scenes are also quite interesting:
1. Mulholland Drive is a film dedicated to Jennifer Maria Syme by David Lynch. The name may be unfamiliar, but she is the ex-girlfriend of Keanu Reeves who died in a car accident shortly after Mulholland Drive in 2001, and a former assistant to David Lynch. There are many strange coincidences between Jennifer and this Mulholland Drive, so I won’t talk about them one by one. If you are interested, you can check it out by yourself: http://www.mulholland-drive.net/cast/jennifer.htm
2. David Lynch lives not far from Mulholland Drive, a mysterious road that also witnesses the history of Hollywood. In addition, the residences of Madonna, John Lennon and others are on this road.
3. In an interview, Naomi revealed that she wanted to give up when making this film, and she was depressed. She even had the idea of driving to Mulholland Drive to commit suicide. I think this may be related to the overlap between her personal experience and Diane. She has also mentioned David Lynch "exploring her dark side" several times.
4. This film was originally called Diane's Invention, thank goodness for finalizing the name Mulholland Drive.
