Diane's personal experience
To study the details of the film, you must first sort out the overall structure of the film, so I will briefly narrate the story of the protagonist of the film in chronological order, which is Diane's personal history.
Diane, according to her own account, was born in Ontario, Canada (its authenticity cannot be determined here, because it is also possible that Diane fabricated her life experience to win sympathy) and was raised by grandparents (not aunts). Grandparents used to be keen on a dance called jettiburg, and it was once very beautiful. As a child, Diane saw the beautiful side of her grandparents, which became her initial motivation to become a Hollywood actor. But during adolescence, specifically between the ages of 12 and 16, Diane experienced an unfortunate period of time. She was sexually abused by her grandfather (or a friend of her grandfather), and her grandmother and other family members (including aunt) knew about it but But chose to ignore it. This had a very bad influence on Diane's life, making her sexual psychology distorted, eager to be loved by normal men but no longer believe in men, so that she later joined the ranks of les and worked as a call girl. However, apart from sexual abuse, her grandparents took care of Diane in other ways, and they also had a lot of expectations for her, hoping that she could succeed in the show business. At the age of 17, Diane left her hometown to Hollywood to join her aunt. Her aunt is a Hollywood practitioner, specifically a scout. The aunt was very kind to Diane, but she passed away not long after. Without her aunt's guidance and protection, Diane could not find a foothold in Hollywood, and the money left by her aunt quickly ran out. At this time, Diane was on the verge of bankruptcy. She could no longer afford the original residence, so she moved into a dilapidated hotel in downtown Los Angeles with the door number 16. In order to pay off the debt, she often engaged in prostitution, but finally paid off the debt through the income of prostitution, and rented a dilapidated apartment, which is 2590 Sierra Bonita Ave, No. 12.
Soon, a small-cost film "Sylvia North Story" (Sylvia North Story) selected the heroine, Diane participated in the audition, but the director Bob Brooker did not choose her, but chose Camilla Rhodes who had gone through unspoken rules. It was during this audition event that Diane and Camilla became friends and later became roommates. After becoming roommates, the relationship went further and became gay. After becoming the heroine of the previous movie, Camilla became a prosperous career by selling hues. She took the lead in many movies. Later, because of the more money he made, he chose to move out of Diane’s dilapidated apartment, but often came back quietly wearing a wig. Try with Diane. During this period, Camilla also often helped Diane by letting her play some small roles in the movies she starred in, but the condition was that she had to go to bed with the producer. Until when he starred in the work directed by Adam Kesher, Camilla had a spark with the director Adam because of the story, and Adam had just divorced, and the two began a close relationship. Although Camilla still often has sex with Diane at home, she is gradually reminding Diane to break up. Diane was aware of this, so she became more and more painful. She went to a psychiatrist, and the doctor advised her to change to a new environment and get rid of the environment where she lived with Camilla in the past, so she exchanged rooms with her neighbor who lives in No.17.
During a filming, Adam and Camilla kissed, and Diane who was standing aside burned with jealousy. Later, Camilla came to apologize and kicked out of the house. Then he cried and masturbated on the sofa in pain. That night, Camilla invited Diane to a party, and Diane agreed. Halfway through the car, the driver said to Diane, give you a surprise. Then Camilla appeared from the side and said, come, let's take a shortcut. Diane was full of joy thinking that Camilla would come back to her again, but when she arrived at the party, she found that it was Adam's house, and Camilla and Adam were still very close to me. At the banquet, Diane sat with Adam, Camilla, and Adam's mother Coco. Camilla and Adam continued to make affection, and Camilla even kissed another actress tongue, which caused Diane's jealousy and anger. Coco asked about Diane's past experiences. Diane recounted some of her own misfortunes, and Coco expressed sympathy. Then Adam and Camilla announced their marriage, and Coco's expression on it was extremely disdainful. This caused Diane to completely collapse, realizing that Camilla would never return to her side, and the killing intent was born.
Since you can't be obtained, you will be destroyed. The next day, at Winkie's restaurant, she contacted a killer who had slept with herself in the past, and planned to hire him to kill Camilla. The killer told him that if it was done, Diane would see a blue key, and then he showed the blue key. A few days later, the killer delivered the blue key to Diane's house and placed it on the coffee table. Diane knew that Camilla was dead at this moment. She felt guilty and had a splitting headache, so she had to go to bed. I slept for a long, long time, and had a long, long dream, which was shown in the first three quarters of this movie. In the dream, Diane connected her childhood experiences, dreams, and recent tragic situation with the people she met. This feeling was interrupted by a knock on the door. It was the neighbor who came to take what was left of her and told her that the police had come to her. At this time, Diane's heart was full of fear of guilt as well as longing for Camilla. While making coffee, there was even an illusion that Camilla was resurrected, and she was ecstatic. But after finally realizing the illusion, Diane recovered, made coffee, sat on the sofa staring at the blue key in a daze, recalling recent events, how miserable she was, and why she killed Camilla. She sat on the sofa for a whole day, until at night when she heard a rapid knock on the door. At this time, Diane's heart had already collapsed and became delirious. On the one hand, she imagined that this might be the police coming to the door to bring herself to justice, and she was afraid of it; while the imaginary picture before her was the grimace of her grandparents approaching herself, as if the painful childhood experience and the grandparents’ Expecting to press over to myself together. She collapsed completely, fell on the bed and committed suicide by swallowing a gun.
After understanding Diane's personal history, let's analyze each scene of the film one by one. You know, the scenes in Diane's dreams are all projected based on her real experience. After waking up from the dream, Diane recalled what had happened in the past few days and had some hallucinations. Therefore, all the scenes in the movie can be divided into reality, dream and illusion.
Scene analysis
part 1: the beginning of the film
1. Hallucinations. At the beginning of the movie, a group of men and women dressed in 1950s costumes danced the so-called jetterburg dance, which was messy and extremely random. Everyone jumped happily, and the blurred faces of Diane and her grandparents appeared on the camera. At this time, the background darkened, and Diane was left alone, cheering, someone shouting "Betty!!"
Analysis: An article said that this is Diane's reenactment of her childhood dance award experience, just like Diane later in Adam's party As described above. But the reason why I say this period of illusion is as follows. First, jetterburg is a dance that was popular in the 1940s and 1950s, but nowadays few people dance. As shown in the film, the dancers are dressed in costumes from the 1940s and 1950s. The film was shot in the late 1990s. According to the styles of some cars in the film, it can be seen that the story narrated in this film took place at least in the 1990s. And Diane's age should be close to 30 years old, in the teenage years, that is, in the 70s and 80s, jetterburg is no longer popular, and there has never been a so-called jetterburg competition. Second, listen carefully to the applause, you can hear someone yelling at Betty. The name Betty is the pseudonym used by Diane in his dreams, so it can be inferred that the so-called winning dance competition was made up by Diane. But this episode at least shows us Diane’s dreams and some childhood experiences, that is, she hopes to be able to stand out on stage, and the grandparents who raised him used to be very successful in jetterburg dance. She hopes that she is the same as her grandparents. Scenery.
2. Reality. Red sheets began to appear in the camera, as well as the sound of a heavy gasp from a sound sleep. At the same time, the scenes of the winning scenery of Betty’s dancing in the fantasy of Betty continued to flash. Then the camera focused on the red sheet, hidden in the darkness.
Analysis: This paragraph hints to us that someone is sleeping, and the sleeping person is Betty/Diane, and this person is about to enter a dream state.
Part Two: Dreamland
3. The Mulholland road sign appeared, a luxury car was driving on the road, and the night of Los Angeles appeared. A woman was sitting in a car (Camilla/Rita). The car stopped suddenly. The woman asked what was going on. The driver took out a pistol and said, "Get off." At this time, the drag racing family is coming in the opposite direction at high speed. While the co-pilot was pulling Rita out of the car, the motorcycle racer collided head-on with the luxury car. No one was spared, except for Rita, who climbed out from the bottom of the car, injured her head, and then walked down the mountain along the path. Encountered a blue truck on the way, and Rita was frightened. Then he hid in the bushes of the community, saw two passers-by, fainted. One detail that needs attention is that Rita wears earrings in the car, and the earrings disappeared after the car accident.
Analysis: This scene is a projection that Diane experienced on the way to attend a party at Adam, and it also contains some hints of the real cause of Camilla's death. In reality, Diane rushed to the party in a luxury car. The driver stopped without warning. Diane was frightened. The driver explained that it was a surprise. Then Camilla came to pick up Diane. This experience is the main source of this dream. The car accident has two meanings. There are two sources of reality: 1. The car accident happened on Mulholland Road, near Adam’s mansion, and at Adam’s party, there was a scene that made Diane extremely painful. , Which makes Diane treat this party as an accident. This is also mentioned in the ten tips given by David Fincher. So in the dream, Diane naturally chose the location of the car accident on Mulholland Road where she thought a "big accident" occurred. 2. Diane was frightened when she encountered the blue truck while escaping. Because this was in Diane's dream, it was Diane who was frightened to see the blue truck. Contacting the blue key that appeared later indicated that Camilla was dead. Diane did not want to face the matter, and it is possible that Diane, as the perpetrator of the murder, knew what Camilla's specific method of death was. Therefore, if a blue truck and a car accident are projected in the dream, it means that Camilla's death is likely to be a car accident, and the blue key may be the truck key. Another proof is that Rita's earrings were missing after the car accident. The so-called Camilla remains in the blue box at the end of the film are the earrings, which indicates that Camilla may have been killed in a car accident.
Blue truck
3. The police and ambulance appeared to survey the scene of the accident. Detective A said to Detective B, "I found this (earring)." B said, "It may not matter." A: "Are there any of the dead wearing earrings?" B: "No. It may be left by someone else." "
Analysis: This scene comes from the real experience of Diane being investigated by a police detective later. The neighbor took things after Diane woke up and mentioned by the way that "the two detectives came to you again." I came here again, indicating that the detective had come once in the real world before dreaming, and he was holding the earring as an evidence. Presumably, that time Diane should have been reluctant to prevaricate, so in the dream, policeman B said "maybe it doesn't matter." However, the sentence "may be left by someone else" still proves that the detective is suspicious of the case. , This reflects the fear in Diane's heart.
4. Rita woke up and saw the old woman packing her luggage, "There is still one bag left." The old woman is actually the aunt in Diane's memory. In her dream, she planned to go to Canada on vacation. The old woman and the driver were loading luggage into the car, Rita took the opportunity to run into the room, but the old woman looked up and saw Rita, but didn't say anything, and went back to the room to get the bag. After entering the door, the aunt took the bag and the key, and Rita hid under the table.
Analysis: The real source of this dream is the attitude of the so-called "aunt and other family members" towards Diane's sexual abuse incident. The aunt packed her bags and prepared to leave, reflecting that she was going to die soon (in reality, she did die). And "there is one bag left", reflecting the thought is, "I have been very good to Diane in my whole life, but only the sexual abuse owes her too much." However, the aunt clearly saw the stranger Rita break in. I left the room, but chose to ignore it, which reflects the aunt's attitude towards Diane's sexual abuse.
5. A scene with a passerby Dan and a psychologist at Winkie's restaurant. Dan confided a nightmare to the psychiatrist, saying that he had encountered a terrifying person in this restaurant, right behind the restaurant. In that dream, the psychiatrist was checking out. Dan also said that the scene in his dream was half black and half white, without lights, and he was very scared. Dan could see the demon through the wall, and was really scared to see him again. So Dan came here again to see if there was such a person. He wanted to eliminate this fear. Walking to the backyard, the devil appeared behind the wall, and Dan was scared to death on the spot.
Analysis: This is when Diane puts herself in Dan's perspective. In other words, Dan is Diane in this scene. Dan said that the scene in his dream was half black and half white because the restaurant is located on sunset blvd. In addition to this specific location, another reason Diane dreamed of this restaurant was that he had indeed been here before, when he discussed with the killer to kill Camilla. In this sense, this restaurant is where Diane's guilt begins, and the demon behind the wall represents the demon in Diane's heart, that is, fear. So the demon behind the wall does not exist in reality, he exists in Diane's heart. As the carrier of Diane in the dream, Dan was scared to death immediately after seeing the devil. In reality, Diane also committed suicide because he could not bear the guilt and fear in his heart. (Btw, the demon was played by an actress named Aaron. From this perspective, it also shows the gender of the demon, that is, it belongs to Diane). Another source of this dream is that Diane may have visited a psychiatrist to confide in her female partner's betrayal. So the appearance of the psychiatrist in this plot is a projection of past experience.
6. Rita hides in her aunt's house. The big guy behind Hollywood called to tell his subordinates that the girl hadn't been found yet. The subordinate made another call and told a man with a lot of body hair, "Nothing has changed." The man made another call, but no one answered.
Analysis: The logic chain here is a bit complicated. In the dream scene, Rita had an accident, so the "girl who was not found" should be Rita. The reason why the big guy behind Hollywood called to tell his subordinates that the girl could not be found is that the big guy originally asked the girl to provide sexual services in exchange for the opportunity to take out the mirror, but the girl did not find it. The subordinate called the man with body hair to ask for it, and the man with body hair made another call. It should be noted here that the call from the body-haired man reached the real Diane's house, as evidenced by the red lampshade, ashtray and cigarette butts, because such a display reappeared when Diane received a call from Camilla at home. The call finally reached Diane's house and expressed two meanings: 1. Rita/Camilla's accident was caused by Diane; 2. Camilla and Diane were both ruled by unspoken rules in real life. The red lampshade, red light, red light district, red, represent prostitutes in the western cultural atmosphere, this is not a random guess. The lamppost under the red lampshade has a Byzantine conspiracy (Byzantine conspiracy), which means that the matter is very complicated. So I really can't guess what the hairy man represents here. This scene is Diane's mix of real life: he killed Camilla, so the phone came to the house; incidentally, it reflects the dark hidden rules of Hollywood.
7. Betty/Diane and his grandmother appeared at Los Angeles International Airport. The sun was shining as soon as she left the terminal building, and Betty's face was also full of sunshine. The role of grandmother in the dream is an airplane travel companion. At the time of the breakup, the old lady wished Betty a bright future, and the old man who had been hiding behind also came out to say goodbye. The taxi driver put Betty's bag in the trunk and asked where to go. Betty said, 1612 Havenhurst, with the sun still on his face. At the same time, the old lady and the old man were sitting on an extended Lincoln with weird smiles, and the blue truck that appeared in front of the Lincoln was the blue truck that appeared after the Rita's car accident.
Analysis: This scene is very strange and extremely informative. The scene in front of the camera is very sunny, vigorous, energetic and hopeful, but the music sounds eerie and weird.
First of all, the grandparents are not their real identities in the dream, and Betty is just a traveling companion who meets peacefully. The scene in this dream shows that Diane felt that it would be great if his grandparents were strangers. It was the extra layer of family relationship that gave Diane and grandfather the opportunity to get too close, so that sexual abuse occurred. In the conversation between Betty and the elders at the airport, the family relationship can also be seen. Diane and her grandmother are more intimate, while her grandfather often hides behind her.
Second, Betty's mental state in front of the camera in the dream is slightly exaggerated, and this is to compare with Diane in reality, to illustrate what kind of person Diane wants to be, as well as the dream and reality. difference. In the dream, Betty is very confident, sunny, and kind to others, while in reality Diane is the other extreme, weak, gloomy, and indifferent, and needs the support and protection of Camilla who is stronger than her everywhere.
Third, pay attention to Betty's destination, which is Aunt Ruth's address. 1612 Havenhurst, first look at the numbers, 1612. The two numbers 16 and 12 appear repeatedly in the movie. Except here, the house number where Adam took refuge at the broken hotel is 16. During the audition, there was a song called "16 Reasons Why I Love You". In reality, Diane originally lived on the 12th, and then moved to the 17th (avoided 16th). The repeated appearance of these two numbers shows that they are of great significance in Diane's life. The result of speculation by all parties is that Diane was often sexually assaulted by her grandfather or her friends between the ages of 12 and 16, and her life was miserable. Let’s look at Havenhurst again. Haven means refuge, so Diane came to Los Angeles to go to her aunt in reality. In Diane’s eyes, she finally escaped from her grandfather's clutches, escaped from the painful days of 12-16 years old, and came to the resting place. Based on this inference, the sexual assault should have nothing to do with the aunt, but the grandfather, but the aunt did not comfort Diane. Some analysts say that Diane was brought up by her aunt's parents, but the uncle who sexually assaulted her. The aunt in her dream was the ideal aunt in Diane's mind. The above analysis can show that this is not the case.
Fourth, the weird smile of the old man and the old lady. The old man and the old lady have no real identities in the movie, but they have appeared in dance competitions and are generally considered to be Diane's grandparents in reality. Therefore, although the two elders were very kind to Betty when they arrived at the airport, they showed a weird smile while sitting in the car. This is believed to be because they are all related to Diane’s sexual assault, which may not be what they did. It might be a friend of his grandfather) but at least they knew it. At the same time they laughed, the blue truck appeared in front of them.
Fifth, about the blue truck. This is the second time the blue truck has appeared here, and the first time it was encountered by Rita on the road after a car accident. In addition, blue objects and scenes in the film appear many times, such as blue keys, blue boxes, the blue atmosphere of a silent bar, the blue-haired woman in the bar box, the blue smoke after Diane’s suicide, and even us You can notice that Betty's suitcase in this scene is also blue. So blue in this movie can be interpreted as the burden of Diane’s life, and the components of this burden are very complex, including: the experience of sexual abuse as a teenager, the guilt of killing Camilla, and the expectations of her grandparents. Let down. At the end of the film, grandparents came out of the blue box and forced Diane to death, so the blue baggage was also the root cause of Diane's suicide.
7. Betty came to the aunt's mansion. The butler Coco was very kind to Betty and gave Betty the key. Betty visited the aunt's mansion and finally found Rita.
Analysis: There are two things to pay attention to. First is Coco. As someone who exists in real life, her actual identity is Adam's mother. In the dream, Coco was very kind to Betty. This kind of impression came from reality. At the Adam banquet, Coco expressed sympathy for Diane’s encounter, and Coco showed disdain for Adam and Camilla’s marriage, which added Diane to Coco's goodwill, so Diane projected this goodwill into his dream.
A further analysis believes that the real ambassador who killed Camilla was actually Coco. Because in reality, when Diane was late for the banquet, Coco's expression once showed displeasure, which shows that she is a person who does not allow any unpleasant things to appear in front of her. This kind of character is also projected into Diane's dream. On the way to bring Betty into the mansion, Coco's words to the owner of the shit and the pungent irony of the owner of the kangaroo. So when Adam and Camilla announced their marriage at the banquet, Coco expressed disdain. Because as the mother of a major Hollywood director, she must know that Camilla is in charge through unspoken rules, so in her eyes Camilla is a slut and is not worthy of entry. In addition, during the banquet, Coco saw that Diane was very angry about Adam and Camilla's marriage, so she secretly ordered Diane to kill Camilla. In the dream, she gave the key to Betty, and analyzed that the doorman key here refers to the blue key in reality. The money for hiring killers also comes from Coco. In the absence of other evidence, this logic makes sense.
Another place to pay attention to is the furnishings in the aunt's home, especially two paintings with special allusive significance. A picture called Beatrice Cenci depicts a young girl, and the allusion behind it is that this young girl named Cenci had been sexually abused by her father. The girl finally killed her father, but she was sentenced to death. This picture was painted by the girl before she left. The reason why this painting appears in Diane's dreams is because it is a disguised expression of Diane's sexual abuse when she was young. There is also a painting with Chinese elements. This painting is signed and signed "Gift by Huang Kaiqiang and Liu Zhu Aijing" and "Congratulations to the Opening of the Business". If you only analyze the two Chinese names, you can find some clues. Huang Kaiqiang, here may represent Camilla, alluding to her use of beauty to open her own path of acting, "using yellow to open the way to become stronger." And Liu Zhuai, written in Pinyin, is Liu Zhuai, which means "keep love", which obviously means that Diane wants to keep her lover, Camilla. This is also a projection of real life.
8. Betty found Rita in the bathroom. Rita had forgotten her name due to amnesia. She saw the poster of Rita Hayworth on the wall and casually said that she was Rita. Talk to Betty later. Rita feels dizzy and says she wants to sleep.
Analysis: Listening carefully to the conversation between Betty and Rita in the bathroom, you can feel that Betty is strong in the conversation and has been taking the initiative, while Rita is very at a loss and trembles. This is contrary to reality. In the actual relationship between the two, Diane is the weaker party and needs the protection and support of the strong Camilla. In the love relationship between the two of them, Diane is also the weaker one, but Camilla's obsession with Camilla is abandoned. This is a projection of the imbalanced relationship between the two in reality.
Seeing Rita Hayworth's poster on the wall, Rita casually said that he was Rita. In fact, since it was in Diane's dream, the name Rita was chosen by Diane for Camilla. The origin of the name Rita is very meaningful. First of all, Rita Hayworth himself has Spanish descent and is a typical Hispanic, which is consistent with Camilla's Hispanic identity in reality. Second, Rita Hayworth in the 1940s was the originator of Hollywood sexy actresses, predating Marilyn Monroe. In that conservative era, sexy women were considered sluts, so Rita Hayworth was criticized. As for Rita Hayworth herself, she has been married five times and can be regarded as a slut. Therefore, Diane used the name Rita in her dream to insinuate what Camilla did in real life. Btw, in Shawshank’s salvation, the first poster Andy used to cover up the escape project was Rita Hayworth.
The conversation between Rita and Betty after she got out of the bath was equally meaningful. During the conversation, Betty continued to be active, Rita did not speak. Betty said, "I hope I can be a powerful actor and don't eat with my face. But you know, some people have both." This sentence reflects reality and shows Diane's disdain for Camilla, who uses unspoken rules. But she went on to say that some people used both, indicating that she has love and love for Camilla, and she also affirms that Camilla has the strength.
More analytically, the following plots are all dreams that Rita had after falling asleep, which is a dream within a dream. In this case, the water is too deep, so I won't analyze it here.
9. Adam was forced to cast. In the meeting room, the agent and the company persuaded Adam to re-elect the heroine. At this time, two big people with background (should be sent by the previous wheelchair boss) came in and gave Adam a photo showing that the actress was named Camilla. Rhodes (this is Camilla in a dream, with blond hair, not alone with Camilla in reality), and his attitude is extremely bad. The bald person spit out the coffee he was serving, and when Adam refused to use the actress, the person with hair directly intimidated him. After coming out of the meeting room, Adam smashed the two big men's cars. On the other side, the subordinates informed the boss that Adam did not want the recommended actress, and the boss directly ordered the stop of investment.
Analysis: On the one hand, this scene reflects Diane's impression of the unspoken rules of Hollywood, on the other hand, he retaliated against Adam in the dream because he took away his lover in reality, so in the dream she hoped that Adam would be dead. In reality, Camilla got many roles through physical relationships. Diane believes that Camilla got the heroine position through the promotion of behind-the-scenes bosses through this relationship. The big man in the dream recommends Camilla the blonde, which is the projection of reality in the dream. In the dream, Adam refuses to use the blonde Camilla, which is the projection of Diane's hope that Adam and Camilla will break up in reality. The bald boss had met Diane in reality. It was at Adam's banquet. This character became the prototype of the boss in the dream. In addition, the Adam in the dream is the opposite of the Adam in reality. The Adam in the dream is desperate and dead from the inside out, with hair like instant noodles, wretched walking, and sloppy clothes. Adam in reality is very personable and typical. Successful man image.
10. Crappy killer. In an office building in downtown Los Angeles, two men are talking. They seem to be friends they haven't seen for many years. The two talked about recent developments. The blonde (the killer) said that he had been doing things for that person, and the long-haired man sighed that the world is uncomfortable. The killer said he hoped that the long-haired man would not be involved in the car accident, but the long-haired man said it was okay. Then they talked about a blacklist, and the long-haired man proudly said that it was a history written on the phone. The killer quickly drew his pistol to kill the long-haired man, then wiped the pistol with a handkerchief to destroy fingerprints in an attempt to create a suicide scene. Unexpectedly, when wiping the pistol, he accidentally pulled the trigger and hit the fat female employee next door. The killer ran over to subdue the female staff, but was spotted by a cleaner. The killer was helpless. He wanted to kill only one person, but had to kill all three. In the end, he hoped to hit the vacuum cleaner with a gun to cut off the power. Unexpectedly, the smoke alarm was triggered.
Analysis: This scene is not related to the previous plot, and is entirely based on the projection of Diane's past experience. There are two sources: 1. The plot of this scene comes from Diane’s fear. Diane hopes that the killer can kill Camilla cleanly and without leaving a trace. However, out of fear of being brought to justice, Diane dreamed of the killer mistake in his dream. There are so many suspicious evidences; 2. The location and characters of the scene are derived from Diane’s past experience as a prostitute. The long-haired man killed by the killer is likely to be the prostitution agency that year. The so-called blacklist in his hand, "Use "History written by phone" is actually the phone book of prostitutes. In addition, the long-haired man mentioned the car accident, which also reflected from the side that the means to kill Camilla was indeed a car accident. Diane had a guilty conscience about this. In the end, the long-haired man was headshot, but his hair showed burnt marks after his death, and blood drops appeared on the tip of his hair. Obviously, this was not caused by the headshot. As a projection in the dream, Diane is likely to project Camilla’s death on this person (note that this person is similar to Camilla, except for the gender, both of them are long black hair. The reason why Diane was in the dream This character corresponding to Camilla was portrayed as a man because Camilla was in a strong position in the relationship between the two, that is, the position of a man under normal circumstances). It was a car accident that caused a fire and died of excessive blood loss.
11. Betty called her aunt and learned that her aunt didn't know Rita, but she didn't want to call the police. Go in to see Rita and find that she has woken up. Betty told her aunt that she didn't know her and asked her to call the police, but Rita started crying, told the truth, said she had amnesia, and she didn't know who she was. Betty said that you can know who you are by looking at the wallet, but a large stack of dollars and a pyramid-shaped blue key appeared in the wallet.
Analysis: A keen person can vaguely feel that this is a dream when seeing this place, because according to common sense, Betty will not treat a stranger like this, and her first thought is to protect the individual. The purpose of creating this scene is that because Diane is weak in real life, he hopes to become a strong one in his dream and protect his lover. This can be seen from Rita crying, being overwhelmed, and Betty's calmness.
The real owner of the wallet is actually Diane. In reality, there are only one thousand dollars in the wallet, and there are at least seven or eight thousand in the dream. This is an exaggerated representation of the dream. In addition, the normal blue key in reality has also been exaggerated into a pyramid shape.
12. Killers and prostitutes. The killer bought lunch and ran into a prostitute when he went out. The assassin asked, do you want to go to bed, the prostitute said, don't stay here, you can just follow Yan. The killer said, have you seen a black-haired white girl recently? It may be a bit unkempt. The prostitute said, no. The killer said, help me pay attention. Then he got into the blue truck.
Analysis: This scene is a combination of Diane's experience of a prostitute and the experience of murdering Camilla. It can be seen that Diane basically dressed up the prostitute in her dream according to her own image, but the prostitute in the dream seemed more misunderstood, and she walked coquettishly without a bra. Other things such as short blonde hair and blue short sleeves are the same as Diane. Asking clients for cigarettes should be a part of Diane's past experience as a prostitute, which also proves that Diane actually smokes, but it does not show up in reality (I haven't smoked it myself, but there are a lot of cigarette butts in the ashtray). The assassin asked if there were any black-haired white girls. This was clearly referring to Camilla, which was the projection that Diane hired the assassin to kill Camilla. In the end, the blue truck appeared again, further proving that Diane was extremely impressed with this car, and it was most likely the murder weapon to kill Camilla.
13. Adam caught the rape in the bed. Depressed Adam drove home and found that his wife had an affair with the pool cleaner on the bed. In order to vent his anger, Adam filled his wife's jewelry with pink paint. Later, Adam was driven out of the house by his wife and lover. Finally, a man dressed as a thug came in to look for Adam. His wife and lover coaxed him out, but he was subdued one by one by the thug.
Analysis: Diane had two goals in this dream. The first is still to retaliate against Adam, and the second is to insinuate Camilla's infidelity. The mentality of revenge on Adam is that you have taken away my love, and I will let you taste the taste of being taken away. And this plot has a basis in reality, because Adam's wife did steal food with the pool cleaner in reality. At the banquet, Adam mentioned that he would like to thank the local court, "I got the house, and she only got the man." And the role played by Adam's wife in this passage is actually Camilla. Here, Diane actually used Adam to express his attitude towards lover's betrayal: Adam destroyed his wife's most beloved jewelry, and Diane wanted to destroy Camilla.
The role of thugs here is the killer in the real world, killing the wife (maybe plus lover) who symbolizes Camilla's derailment in the dream.
14. Betty helps Rita remember the past. Rita remembered that the location of the car accident was Mulholland Road, and the two finally decided to call the police to ask if there was a car accident on Mulholland Road that night. After calling the police station, the police station confirmed that there was indeed a car accident on Mulholland Road.
Analysis: The main performance of this scene is still the contrast between dreams and reality, that is, the contrast between Betty's strength and Rita's weakness. The plot of the call should come from reality, that is, after hiring the killer, the killer did use the blue truck to make a car accident and kill Camilla. Diane heard about it from other sources and called the police station to confirm if there had been a car accident.
15. Betty and Rita were in Winkie's restaurant. Rita saw that the name on the waiter's badge was Diane, so she seemed to remember his name was Diane Selwyn, so the two returned to the mansion, checked the yellow pages, and found the address and phone number. Betty called and heard the voicemail recording. Rita said that it was not her own voice. Betty said that it might not be, but it might be your roommate.
Analysis: If you look at the back, you will find that the name Betty comes from Winkie's waiter Betty in reality, and Diane used this name in the dream. Perhaps with this inspiration, Diane let Rita see the name Diane in her dream and use it as her own name. From this perspective, it can be seen that in the dream, Rita is actually playing the real Diane. I will elaborate on this point later. In addition, Betty mentioned that it may be the voice of your roommate, which shows that in reality the fact that Diane and Camilla were roommates has been projected in.
16. Adam's dilemma. Adam hid in a broken hotel in downtown Los Angeles like a bereaved dog and lived in room 16. But the hotel owner told him that the credit card could not be used. The banker said that Adam's assets had been frozen and warned Adam to be careful. After returning to the house, Adam called the secretary. The secretary said "You are bankrupt" and told him that he should meet a man named Cowboy.
Analysis: Diane pinned his past experience to Adam. After her aunt's death, Diane quickly ran out of money left by her aunt and was on the verge of bankruptcy. In desperation, she moved into this hotel called Park Hotel, and the boss came over and told her that the credit card was no longer available. In desperation, she had no choice but to pay for the house first with the money she earned from selling herself. In addition, Room 16 also has an allusive meaning. As mentioned earlier, Diane's nightmare is between 12 and 16 years old. She was sexually assaulted. Therefore, the allusive meaning of Room 16 in the dream was the day of suffering, which was pressed on Adam's head.
17. In the mansion, Betty persuaded Rita to visit that address. At this time, someone knocked on the door. It was a strange woman dressed in black with a terrifying expression. She reminded that someone was in trouble. Later Coco came over and pulled the man away, and then gave Betty the lines for the audition the next day.
Analysis: Like the passerby Dan, this woman in black once again served as the embodiment of Diane's inner fear. Diane killed Camilla, her heart was full of fear of being brought to justice, and this woman proved that Camilla would be in trouble. In the dream, the trouble that the woman in black knew seemed to have another meaning: she looked into the room hard, as if she saw Rita, and Rita kept hiding aside, which seemed to indicate that in real life, Camilla, represented by Rita, was in trouble and she was murdered.
18. Adam went to the mountain to meet the cowboy. Adam drove to a very secret and gloomy place. The lights were on and the cowboys appeared. After greeting each other, he started the following conversation.
Cowboy: Could you please come out from that broken hotel and meet me.
Adam: What do you want to do?
Cowboy: Ha, here comes a rectum. Then I'll be straightforward. Sometimes a person's attitude determines his life, do you agree?
Adam: Agree.
Cowboy: Are you flattering me or do you really agree?
Adam: I really agree.
Cowboy: What did I just say?
Adam: A person's attitude determines his life.
Cowboy: Then since you say you agree, that means you are a person who doesn't care about how you are doing well?
Adam: What does this mean?
Cowboy: Stop and reflect, please.
Adam: Okay, I'm reflecting on it.
Cowboy: No, you are not introspecting at all, you are too self-righteous. Now I hope you will reflect and stop being self-righteous. try it.
Adam: What the hell is going on? What do you want me to do?
Cowboy: If there is a double-decker car, how many drivers do these two double-decker cars need?
Adam: One.
Cowboy: So now I am driving these two double-decker cars. If you have a correct attitude, you can take my car together.
Adam: Okay.
Cowboy: You go back to work tomorrow, but the heroine must be re-elected. You will let many girls audition. When you try that girl, you say "it's her." You still decide on the other roles, but you can’t decide on the heroine. If you perform well, you can see me again. If you behave badly, you still have to see me twice.
After that, the cowboy left and the light went out.
Analysis: A lot of analysis is at a loss for the meaning of cowboys. But if we based on Diane's past experience, we can find that the role of the cowboy here is the abuser of sexual abuse. Sexual abuse here includes two aspects, one is the abuse of Diane by his grandfather or his friends, and the other is the abuser who encountered unspoken rules after Diane stepped into Hollywood. In this scene, the cowboy plays the second role. Here, if we restore this dialogue to Diane’s real life, as long as the last paragraph of the cowboy’s words is slightly modified according to Diane’s perspective, we will find that this dialogue can be the first time Diane was subjected to unspoken rules. A dialogue between Diane and a Hollywood producer, Diane said Adam’s lines, and Cowboy said the producer’s lines. Therefore, the source of this scene is the scene when Diane first suffered the unspoken rules. Diane, who had just come into contact with the unspoken rules, was immature and innocent. Her response should be very direct, but she was mercilessly suppressed by her abuser. At the same time, the scenes of this scene also reflect Diane's emotional reaction when she was first exposed to the unspoken rules: eerie and horrible. As for the source of the cowboy image, he was a person dressed as a cowboy randomly seen by Diane at Adam's banquet. This person remained in Diane's memory and played this role in his dream.
From another angle, this dialogue can also be understood. We can also set the cowboy as the spokesperson of Diane, and out of revenge for Adam's motive for taking my love, Diane punishes Adam through the cowboy in her dream. In other words, if a person suffers from the unspoken rules of morality, this person will accept this set of rules more than others, and torture others crazily. Everyone has heard that scientists have done similar experiments with monkeys: a monkey is locked in a cage for a long time, and after a while the scientist puts another monkey in. At this time, the stronger monkey will use violence to make the weaker monkey yield. In this way, two classes were formed. After a while, put the third monkey in, without the strongest monkey, the monkey that was defeated will beat the new monkey very frantically, even more fierce than when he was beaten, forcing the new one. The monkey is under his own lust to maintain the existing social hierarchy. This is the formation of morality. The unspoken rule is this kind of immoral morality. Diane could torture Adam out of this psychological motivation in her dream.
As for the first role played by the cowboy, that is, Diane when his grandfather or friend sexually abused his children, it was hinted at when Diane woke up from a dream, which will be mentioned later.
19. Betty and Rita talk to each other at home. After that, Coco saw Rita, then called Betty out and said, your aunt called and asked to figure out who it was. Betty defended Rita and said that it was my friend, who stayed for two days and left. Rita continued, I believe you will take care of this, don't let me down. The woman said last night that something will happen sooner or later, and if something really happens, it will be solved for me immediately. Betty went back to the room and Rita asked, am I not so good here? Betty said, "It's okay, everything is fine, I'm going to audition soon." Then two people with black sunglasses appeared sitting in a luxury car, and then Betty got in a taxi and rushed to the audition scene.
Analysis: Of course, the audition line has a deep meaning, but it actually reflects a conversation about Diane's sexual assault when she was a teenager. I will explain this in detail in the next scene. The focus of this scene is the dialogue between Coco and Betty. This conversation partly supports a theory I mentioned earlier that Coco was behind Diane's killing of Camilla. In the dream, Coco assumes a posture that those who obey me will prosper and those who oppose me die, and ask Betty to deal with the trouble immediately. In reality, this can be extended to Coco asking Diane to quickly get rid of Camilla, whom he dismissed. In addition, since the appearance of two people with black sunglasses is not necessarily related to the plot of the dream, we can only connect it to reality, that is, two detectives are paying attention to Diane. Such fear is always reflected in Diane's dream.
20. Audition for the first act. Betty enters the set expectantly, and the producer introduces Betty one by one. After that, the audition started:
Betty: You haven't left yet?
Man: I'm back. Isn't this as you wished?
Betty: No one wants to see you!
Man: Really?
Betty: My parents are upstairs. They thought you were gone.
Man: So what? Surprised?
Betty: I want to call them, I want to call my dad down.
Man: You won't. (Put your hand on Betty's ass, and Betty's hand also presses the man's hand on her ass)
Betty: You will play yourself to death. . . If you want to intimidate me, it's no use.
Man: You know what I think, it's not hard to be satisfied. (The two seem to be uncontrollable)
Betty: Get out. . . . (Whisper in a low voice). . . Or I ask my dad to come down. . . He trusts you very much. . . You are his best friend. All this will always end. . . (At this time, Betty is already a bit incoherent, and even caused grammatical errors. She should have said that you are my dad's best friend, but she said that you are my dad's best friend, which shows that she has been confused and infatuated)
Male: What about you? If that's the case, what should your dad think of you?
Betty: Don't. . . . do not talk. . . You said that at the beginning. . . . If I tell them things, you will be arrested. . . So you go quickly. . . exist. . . (Betty has no control at this time)
Male: What? (Two people kiss each other)
Betty: It's me. . .
Male before I killed you : Then they will arrest you too.
Betty: I hate you. . . I hate both of us!
The audition is over. Betty's performance amazed everyone and everyone celebrated. Then Betty walked out of the set with the famous actress and scout and her assistant. The scouts lashed out at the actor's performance, even though she had been married to the actor for ten years. But I appreciate Betty's acting skills.
Analysis: This audition is a classic of the film, with a huge amount of information, and it also shows the superb acting skills of Naomi Watts.
First, this paragraph basically completely reflects the complete picture of Diane's teenage sexual assault and Diane's mentality at the time. In other words, this dream of Diane is a projection of her adolescent sexual assault experience. Diane, who has just begun sexual development in adolescence, as a woman, desires a man’s body. This can be seen from the body movements and tone of the two in the audition (Betty actively pressed the man’s hand to his ass , And the inextricable desire for eroticism shown in the dialogue). But in front of him was an old man, a man of the same generation as her grandfather, such a man could not give her the promise of love as a boy or girl. Such a deformed relationship caused Diane's relationship between men and women during puberty to become deformed, thinking that there is no emotion between men and women, only physical needs. Therefore, Diane no longer believes in men at the level of psychological trust, but only appeals to men for physical needs, but trusts the emotional relationship to women, so later she can accept to be a prostitute, because that only meets physical needs, but The true love was given to the woman, which is Camilla. "Before I kill you" "Then they will arrest you too!" This kind of dialogue is a perfect interpretation of the aforementioned Beatrice Cenci oil painting. "I hate the two of us!" These words show Diane's inner contradiction: on the one hand, she hates this old man for taking her body as her own, but she can't give herself any emotional promise; but on the other hand However, the girl's erotic desire made herself obsessed with the sexual relationship with this old man and couldn't extricate herself. In the previous scene, when Betty and Rita spoke to the line, Betty also commented, "This line is really crappy." But on the audition occasion, Betty immediately showed amazing acting skills (this is inseparable from her childhood experience). This is because Betty's self-expression when speaking to her lines at home is the innocent and innocent self Diane hoped in her dream, but when it comes to occasions that make her uncontrollable, her own experience makes the sexual assault performance tighter.
Second, when the producer (as a friend of Aunt Betty’s friend) introduced the people, I believe everyone noticed that the director was named Bob Brooker. This was later in reality, as Diane mentioned at the Adam banquet to make himself in the "Western The unsuccessful director in "The Northern Story of Ervia". At the banquet, Diane hinted that Camilla was selling her body to get the producer to select her. And this is vividly demonstrated in this scene: during Betty’s audition, director Bob did not take the initiative to make any comments. Every time the producer reminded him, "Bob, what do you want to remind? What do you want to comment on? "After that, Bob gave some hints and comments symbolically. This proves that Bob is a very clueless director who has been at the mercy of the producer. And Diane's failure in reality was also because Bob was influenced by the producer and chose Camilla, who was betraying the flesh, instead of her.
Third, the scout aunt, the producer uncle, and the actor uncle in this episode are referred to. Please note that the scout aunt commented after she was out of the set, damn it, it sucks. So much so that Betty thought she was talking about herself. In fact, the scout aunt clarified that I was talking about Wally (the producer), "He was a man who passed away 20 years ago" (implying that he is very old). At the same time, the secretary also criticized the old man (Woody) who sexually assaulted the actual operator. Therefore, in Diane's dream, the scout aunt refers to her grandmother, because her grandmother treats herself very well. And Wally, the producer, refers to Diane's grandfather. He watched his friend (Woody on the set, the old man) sexually assault his granddaughter, but did not express anything. Of course, the old man actor Woody represents the friend of his grandfather who actually completed the sexual assault. Therefore, because Diane had a good impression of her grandmother, her grandmother (scout) lashed out at her grandfather (Wally)'s behavior in her dream (the scout also admitted that she and Wally had been married for ten years, which further demonstrated Diane’s dream In, the two people are husband and wife, and they are their own grandparents, and the grandmother is very disdainful of her grandfather's behavior). The secretary's words reflected from the side that Diane hated her grandfather's friend (that is, the old man Woody on the set) who sexually assaulted herself.
Fourth, this plot also reflects the innocent Diane's unrealistic expectations for Hollywood casting. Since this plot occurred in Diane’s dream, which is Betty’s cognition (Betty stands for the innocent Diane), Betty believes that Hollywood casting should be like this, and the producers should choose talents instead of the reality. , The actress can be in position by betraying her body, just like Camilla.
Fifth, before the audition, the old man actor also mentioned an actress who had been auditioned before, "the girl with black hair", saying that the girl said the lines too fast and brought him fast. Of course, in Diane's dream, the black-haired girl refers to Camilla. This is Diane's dream to make up for her unfortunate reality, hoping that she can defeat Camilla in the film directed by Bob.
In addition, the clothes Betty wore during the audition and the conversation between the killer and the prostitute, the prostitute wore the same color, but two sleeves were missing. This is also a projection of Diane's past life as a prostitute.
20. Audition for the second act. Seeing that Betty was very good, the scout aunt brought her to Adam's set, hoping to recommend her to play Adam's movie. Adam is choosing an actress. The first actress is singing a song called "16 Reasons I Love You". The second audition is to select the heroine of "Sylvia's Northern Story", Adam asked, who is the next one, and the assistant answered "Camilla Rhodes". Adam was stunned and realized that this was the actress who the gangster forced him to choose. So at the same time as the audition, he called the boss and said "This is the girl". At the same time, he saw Betty who was also on the set, and the two met twice and seemed to spark. But Betty remembered that she had invited Rita to find Diane Selwyn, so she left early.
Analysis: There are three elements that need to be analyzed. First, the song sung in the first audition is called "16 Reasons I Love You". We found that the number 16 appeared again, which was an unforgettable age in Diane's heart. And what the lyrics sing is probably why Diane loves Camilla. At the same time, there are four backing singers around the lead singer, divided into two pairs, each of which is composed of one black and one white. This reflects Diane’s fear of "half black and half white" (in Winkie's, Dan’s dialogue Appeared in).
Second, the name "Sylvia's Northern Story" is meaningful. In 1965, there was a movie called "Sylvia" and the protagonist's name was Sylvia West. When she was 14 years old, she was raped by her stepfather. Since then, she lost hope in life and became a prostitute. Finally, with the help of a female friend, the hope of life was rekindled (of course, the protagonist and the female friend became les), and he became a successful poet. We found that apart from the final ending, the life trajectory of the protagonist of the movie is similar to that of Diane. And why the movie name was changed to "Sylvia's Northern Story" in Mulholland Road, and the word "Northern Story" was added because Diane came from northern Canada, and this "Northern Story" became Diane s story. I think the director used this name to provide the audience with enough background knowledge of Diane, so Diane's experience as a prostitute should be real.
Third, in reality, "Sylvia's North Story" is a small-cost film by Bob Brooker, but in his dream it became Adam's blockbuster. Adam was forced to choose the blond "Camilla" in his dream, which is similar to reality, but this Camilla is not the other Camilla. Moreover, in the dream, Adam and Betty met with their eyes and sparked the spark of love. (Listen carefully to the lyrics of Silvia's northern story episode. It is written that the two people are fond of each other and love the deer in a random mentality, which fits the scene very well) , Which shows that Diane thought in her mind that if it weren't forced, Adam would choose herself instead of Camilla. This is revenge against reality. Finally, remembering that he had an appointment with Rita, Betty rushed out of the set without hesitation. This shows that Diane's love for Camilla has surpassed her pursuit of acting career, and it also reflects that Diane must have made a lot of sacrifices for Camilla in reality. That's why Camilla's subsequent betrayal made Diane unacceptable, and it spurred Killing.
15. Betty and Rita get in a taxi to find Diane Selwyn in their dreams. When approaching the destination, Rita saw two people wearing sunglasses sitting in the car, hid in fear, and asked the driver to go to the back door. The two entered the yard, and the house number indicated that Diane lived at number 12. Rita saw the person she was scared of again, and the two hid again. Knocking on the door of room 12, a woman who is neither male nor female appeared. Betty asked if it was Diane? The woman replied that she lived on the 17th and I changed houses with her, and she hadn't shown up for several days. Betty said I'm going to leave her a note, and the woman said I'm going with you, I have something still with him. But there was a call, and the woman said you go first, and I answered the phone. Betty and Rita found number 12, the door was locked, Betty flipped in through the window and opened the door. Betty was holding his nose, obviously there was a bad smell. The two went into the house to explore and found a female corpse on the bed with a rotting head. Rita screamed in horror, and Diane covered her mouth. The two ran out in despair, already frightened.
Analysis: In this dream scene, Diane will continue to project herself on Rita and Betty. The figure in sunglasses Rita saw was a projection of the detective investigating Diane in reality, so Rita was scared.
It is hard to understand what the implication of the non-male and female characters in the film is. Some analysts say that this woman is Diane's real sexual partner, which is hard to understand. But what can be seen is that the plot about this woman in the dream is almost the same as the reality. The two did change the apartment, and neither male nor female did have something in Diane’s room. Diane did not show up for a long time after killing Camilla. (The reality is three weeks). If you don't want too much, it can be understood that this character is projected directly from reality.
In addition, changing rooms is also something that has happened in reality. Twelve is a tragic number for Diane, she changed to number 17 on the advice of a psychiatrist.
Enter the house and find the dead body. The death of this corpse is exactly the same as the death of Diane's suicide at the end, except that the corpse in the dream is Camilla, because the hair is black, and the face is rotten, but it is still faintly discernible. So Rita in the dream thought that she was dead, so she was terrified and screamed. But Betty was very calm. Here, Diane brought herself into Rita. She knew that Camilla was dead, and she regretted her death, so she used Rita to express her horror and sadness.
As for why the posture of the dead body was exactly the same as when Diane died? It's because Diane slept in this posture this time, the first shot of waking up can prove it. And the state of death she dreamed of eventually became her own state of death, perhaps this is the impact of dreams on the real world, just like the theme of Inception.
16. When she got home, Rita was very scared because she saw her death. She didn't want to see her current appearance, so she tried to cut her hair. Betty gave her a wig and Rita was much better. Go to bed at night, Betty said to Rita, you don’t need to wear a wig at home, come and sleep in bed. Rita took off the bath towel and went to bed naked. Rita thanked Betty for everything she did for her. After saying good night, the two kissed and then made love.
Analysis: Wigs have their origins in reality. After Camilla became popular, she often came to meet Diane with her wigs in order to conceal others. The two have sex is a portrayal of reality. In the dream, Rita first seduce Betty, so the situation in reality should be similar, that is, Camilla seduce Diane. When Betty's lust was completely aroused, she said affectionately to Rita, "I want to be with you" and "I am in love with you", but Rita did not respond at all. The reality reflected here is that Diane really loves Camilla wholeheartedly, and Camilla may just use Diane as a tool to meet physiological needs. This is because Camilla may be bisexual. Both men and women can make her feel sexually satisfied, but her emotions rest on men. However, due to the experience of being sexually abused by older men as a child, Diane has no trust in men, and puts her feelings on women.
17. The two fell asleep hand in hand. But at two o'clock in the morning, Rita suddenly started muttering (not talking in sleep) Spanish "Silencio", "No hay banda", "No orchesta" (silence) (no band) (no symphony). Betty was awakened and comforted her, but Rita said no, you have to go somewhere with me, right away. The two set off, and the taxi took them to a ghastly place, a theater. The two were seated, and the magician on the stage said, "No band!" "No symphony!" "It's all recording!" Then the magician proved this with several instruments. "This is all an illusion!" said the magician. At this time, the magician raised his hands, and the theater suddenly began to flash and thunder, and an old woman with blue hair appeared on the box above the magician's head. With the lightning and thunder, Betty suddenly began to tremble violently, and was later appeased by Rita. The magician gave a grim smile. The stage was full of blue light. An old man came out to announce "Welcome to the Silent Bar, now we welcome Rebecca to sing for us." A middle-aged woman with a tear tattoo on her face came up to sing a Spanish song Llorando (Crying). The two audience members also began to cry. Halfway through the singing, the old woman fainted (proved that there is no band, all recordings). After the singing disappeared, a blue box appeared next to Betty, reminiscing that Rita had uncovered the blue key before, and the two immediately went home. After taking out the bag, Rita was about to open the blue box and found that Betty was missing, so she opened the blue box by herself, the camera stuck into the box, and disappeared into the darkness.
Analysis: The dream of making love in the last paragraph is too close to reality. At this time, there are very real and strong physical sensations in the dream. The brain will stimulate the body and tell the dreamer that this is not reality. At this time, the dreamer is easily awakened. Just like if you dream of jumping off a cliff, doing a free fall, or dying in a dream, there will be an orgasm in the dream, because the feeling is too real, you will immediately wake up. The purpose of all the scenes in this scene is to remind Betty that everything here is unreal and you are dreaming.
At the beginning of this scene, Rita said the abrupt Spanish Silencio, which was actually Diane's brain reminding her that none of this was true. Then Rita took Diane to the Silent Bar, and the magician on the stage kep
