Today I finally watched Hollywood personality director David Lynch’s 2001 award-winning work-Mulholland Drive, Chinese The name is Mulholland, this name is very interesting, I feel that it itself implies an unusual story. Sure enough, the film did not disappoint me at all. Compared to Hollywood blockbuster films that are purely eye addictive, I like this kind of low-cost but extremely high-level scripts that explore the human psychology.

Compared with the sci-fi elements of Being John Malkovich, which also belongs to the category of psychological films, Mulholland Drive focuses on the real and intriguing psychological analysis. This kind of alternation of reality and illusion mixed with exaggeration and weirdness, everyone has experienced when dreaming. , Let alone the dream that the heroine Diane had when she was on the verge of collapse.

I believe that no one can fully understand the meaning of the film after watching the film for the first time without any hint. Regarding the plot, the article written by the netizen sprinting fish I think is the most detailed and pertinent explanation, a few hours ago The sense of realization after reading it is still fresh in my memory, and the more I think about it, the more I get the taste, I can’t help but admire the main writer of the script, that is, the director David Lynch. Although David's growth process has been smooth sailing, he feels that life is not a simple matter. Something wrong must be quietly sprouting in places he can't see. It is precisely because of this sense of fear and awareness of life. Talent can write such a unique script.

Almost all comments on the analysis of Mulholland Drive will mention Freud's theory-he divides personification into three parts: id, ego, superego, and his set of dreams The analytical formula of Dream = suppressed desire + disguised satisfaction-and the imitative effect of dreams-simply means the psychological phenomenon of one person substituting himself into another for some reason. These theories are shown naked in front of the audience in the film. Some people may be upset and repulsive, but some people will enjoy it and fall into thinking...

Besides, let’s talk about Naomi Watts, who I paid attention to when I watched King Kong before. Compared to King Kong, who established her first-line position in Hollywood, Mulholland Drive is more suitable for her to play, and in fact, she also impressed many audiences. As the soul character of the whole show, Naomi has a good grasp of several key shots: when Diane was awakened by a neighbor who came to change things, she was in a daze in the kitchen, and then accidentally saw Camilla, Naomi surprised Diane's face. A series of expressions from joy to fear were utterly interpreted; and the jealousy and anger she tried to hide at the Adam and Camilla party, and finally went crazy buying murder and murder until the end of the tragedy. She also shattered the heroine’s dream before and after. The hysteria and fear of self-blame were performed heartily. Naomi is a very hardworking actor, but unfortunately it has been unknown, so some people have suggested that Diane reflects her own shadow to some extent.

Finally, mention the famous Mulholland Drive in California. It is a avenue that runs through Hollywood, through the wealthy area, and extends to Malibu Beach. It is named after the engineer William Mulholland. If you have a chance in the future, you must go there for a tour.
