Mulholland said, it doesn't matter if you don't understand, maybe it's shameful to understand

Mulholland Road is famous, and the labels of horror, nightmare, and high IQ on his body are favored by senior literary youth. It is especially suitable for those who have a hard time, watch it a dozen times, and then do something similar to the metaphysicians of the Wei and Jin Dynasties or modern experts in the middle of the night, complicate those simple things, make them conscious, and then second On the next day, he continued to close his eyes, behaved erratically, and smiled mysteriously like Mona Lisa when no one was there. And I am a vulgar person who can't be vulgar anymore. I just heard from my friends that the girls in it are hot, and then I found this movie with my lower body thinking. Of course, after watching it, it is the same as most people's first experience. I was confused, but the graceful figures of the two heroines really left a deep impression on me, especially the black-haired one with round breasts, which made people amazed by the cosmetic surgery in the United States.



Mulholland Drive is, however, a complex movie - if it's really as some have parsed it - a movie about one person being abandoned by another and thinking about it day and night A story about a dream, and according to David Lynch himself, "It's a story about love, secrets, and Hollywood dreams", so David Lynch's implicit and unconventional way of expressing really makes this story telling. The lover's unreasonable and chaotic emotional movies cannot be complicated any more - if you really want to understand the psychological hints and special references that are different from reality and nightmares. With this special complexity, Mulholland Road is called "an extension of possibility" by many literary youths (this is really fucking mysterious). The Mulholland Drive code "is much more than the Da Vinci code; of course, some people hold the opposite opinion, directly calling it "low-energy and broken garbage"; while some slightly conservative people are more cunning, " "Mulholland Drive" may not be a great movie, but it further reinforces the Lynch-esque solidity and keeps tingling our nerves.", indicating that it is very suitable for Chinese officialdom. And I, who can't understand this kind of complexity, just want to ask David Lynch or those awesome movie geniuses and psychoanalyst masters, why is it so complicated to make a movie? Why do the clues about dreams in the movie have to be so obscure, is it difficult, is the so-called incomprehensible an indicator of the pros and cons of actual existence? I see that there is a certain market.

In the history of the development of world cinema, I personally think that there are two types of films, one is standard films. This kind of film, with clear logical clues and straightforward expression, has also occupied the mainstream of films so far. The other is innovative films. This type of innovative film has been innovated from the perspective or level of the film's subject matter, style, and shooting technique. With the development of the film, it continues to emerge, and it is also significantly different from the traditional film. enrichment of world film genres. Mulholland Drive is a representative of innovative films. The first manifestation of Mulholland Drive is the inversion and dislocation of the narrative. The plot of the story is not narrated according to the time progression of the movie, but is reversed. The second is the performance of fantasy, which has a more three-dimensional expression effect than the mainstream simple interpretation, and has a more violent emotional impact on the audience. But Mulholland Drive's film magnifies and exaggerates the performance of both. In the performance of narrative interspersed, the beginnings and transitions are very obscure. I think almost no one can successfully analyze the actual clues of the entire movie when they watch it for the first time. The youthful and moving dancing scene, the blurry and shaky scene about to enter a dream, especially at the beginning of the movie, make it hard to see what kind of story the director is showing. As for the description of the dream, first of all, due to the confusion and obscurity of the logical clues, it increases the difficulty of the audience's understanding and cognition of the dream. Not only is it difficult to perceive the beginning and end of the dream, but it even feels that this may not be the same movie. And because the director has made certain arrangements for the storyline in the dream, which makes the narrative of the dream even more confusing. (As for whether the director arranged the heroine's dreams based on Freud's psychoanalysis, that's another matter, and you can only ask David Lynch himself). David Lynch once said, "Audiences are spoiled by the simple logic of Hollywood. They should try to use their brains, trust their own feelings, and not pursue standard answers." So here, Muhy Landau's baffling, is simply a trick and self-promotion of the director. And his arrangement of logical jumps and autonomous representation of dreams basically captures the audience's awe and fear of chaos and the unknown, as if those movies that seem incomprehensible are awesome movies, and this movie The complexity and obscurity presented in the book, apart from the artificial logical arrangement and processing of David Lynch, has no textual and spiritual significance at all. This kind of grandstanding, which likes to rely on technology and expression, is like those novels by Calvino and Kundera, which can be popular and mysterious, but they can never be called classics and greatness. similar to muh There are still many movies like Landau, like Fight Club, like Pulp Fiction. They all use the unconventional internal logic and narrative techniques as the main expression of the movie, and add a lot of bridges and plots that confuse the audience's perception and understanding. to achieve self-satisfaction. If you put aside the deliberate and pretentious techniques of such films to explore the deep meaning of these films, what they embody is only an expression and appeal of the self, which is not only detached from the public, but also from the society. So I thought again, it's normal that you can't understand a movie like this, and those who claim to understand can only become the director's laughing stock. Because in this world, I don't believe who really can fully understand who.



Mulholland Road, a movie of complete self, like a handsome young, personality, deviant guy, he is elusive, he leaves early and returns late, and sometimes even stays in the toilet for hours, making it hard to understand him What the hell is going on. Some naive, superficial little girls will be fascinated by this handsome guy's calm coolness, and even if he spends a few hours in the toilet, he thinks he may be doing some great performance art, but these little girls will never imagine, This mysterious handsome guy, who has been in the toilet for so long, may just be reading comics.

    It's not a mess of overlapping fantasies that means there is depth.

    ①2017-5-20 The six brushes are still running with tears, and there are new discoveries every time. The color and soundtrack are all perfect. ②Forever love Nuomi, the most suitable actor to be an inspirational idol, and not mentioning the actress is really Oscar unreasonable. ③The shredded paper on the street in the early morning is flying, and it is cold and desolate | Silencio | This is all a tape-recording | It is a illusion | The psychedelic blue mist. ④I wander between dream and reality. ⑤2021.9.23. North Film Festival-Sanlitun Mega Happy Studios-4K restoration version (excellent picture quality and color), realize your dream late at night! This time I was surprised that more than one scene resembled [双峰]. In addition, Lynch is really good at mixing and mixing multiple elements/heterogeneous atmospheres. For example, the silent theater and the end of death cycle between horror and sadness. The multiple interspersed narratives in the dream part also make viewers funny and weird. Swing with suspicion, nervousness/positive joy (Nuo Mi’s optimistic longing when she first arrived in Hollywood in her dream is too contagious)~ (9.5/10)

Mulholland Drive quotes

  • Cowboy: When you see the girl in the picture that was shown to you earlier today, you will say, "this is the girl". The rest of the cast can stay, that's up to you. But the choice for that lead girl is NOT up to you. Now... you will see me one more time, if you do good. You will see me... two more times, if you do bad. Good night.

  • Betty Elms: [Betty and Rita are in bed, about to have sex for the first time] Have you ever done this before?

    Rita: I don't know. Have you?

    Betty Elms: I want to with you.
