I like the descriptions of dreams that are both real and illusory. Frequent similar transitions and seemingly disorganized props seem to be a bit convoluted. However, when I was looking for an analysis of movie reviews, I found that the reviews on the Internet were a bit unsatisfactory. Most of the discussion involves psychoanalysis, explaining most of the plot of the film, but the discussion of details is almost absent, why the details of cowboys, prostitutes, ashtrays, uncles and aunts, two directors Bob and Adam, etc. way to lay out?

Finally I found an explanation on YouTube that fits my expectations. This is a 1-hour analysis video, which not only explains the main plot of the film, but also does not omit the analysis of the details of the film, but combines the details with David Lynch's own ideas and opinions for a detailed discussion. in conclusion.

Simply stating the core point of the video is that the director's critique of Hollywood's unspoken rules is packaged in a Freudian lesbian-heartbroken Hollywood dream. Most of the characters are part of Dain's psychological projection: Betty is the innocent side of her dream of becoming a star when she first entered LA; Rita symbolizes the possibility of ascending through unspoken rules; the producer brother and the big guy who has been sitting in the chair in the middle of the room. The dude symbolizes the producers who control Hollywood; the scary beggar behind the restaurant, the blue box and the Silencio theater symbolize the dark, scary, and ugly side behind the glamorous Hollywood.
