VHS Movie Reviews of Mulholland Dr.
Movie Review: Still happy
Summary: 4 Stars
Once again, a pleasant buying experience buying from Amazon. Although the movie was a bit darker than I expected, it still is a noteworthy addition to my collection.Movie Review: The explanation is..............there is none.
Summary: 2 Stars
Granted some reviewers have created a de facto plot line by arbitrarily deciding that some parts are reality, some dream & some symbolism, etc. but they ignore large parts that can't be fitted into their story line. It's important to note the film started out to be a TV series, its seems a reasonable assumption the movie was cobbled together out of scenes that were originally intended to be used in separate episodes with a different plot. I guess Lynch thought every scene was so precious he had to use them in regardless. The movie could have been cut down by 30-45 minutes and not lost a thing.
Sadly rewatching the movie didn't clear up a thing, I only saw more problems the second time. Can someone explain -
Who the laughing man is, what does he have and why is it worth killing for?
Who are the Mobster types that are trying to tell Adam who to cast as the lead?
Why is he living in a flop house, why his money cut off, who is looking for him.
Who is the huge guy that goes to Adam's house, why does his wife react like a psycho?
What's with the old lady prophetess of doom?
Who is the 3rd girl seen leaving when Betty and Rita are breaking in and I assume the one who comes back for her stuff?
Why is her ash tray she takes still there in the next scene
Why does Rita decide to go blond then is back to brunette in later scenes?
Who is the middle age red head that wanders in & out for a few minutes?
Whats with the Betty / Diane name swap.
The movie does have some interesting scenes as they stand alone, but trying to fit them into a whole is probally a waste of time. Analyzing movies like this have become the modern equivalent of debating how many angels can dance on the head of a pin. But it doesn't make for good movies or the director a genius. Genius is making a well crafted movie with a compeling story, not 150 minutes that leave you with that "Huh" feeling.
Movie Review: Road To Nowhere, U-Turn!
Summary: 5 Stars
I've given up trying 2 figure out why this and why that. I just sit back and enjoy the ride. It's mystical never practical, illogical always maniacal. The performances are brilliant. This is Naomi Watts crowning achievement. One of m' fave films!Movie Review: One of my favorites, and one of Lynch's best!
Summary: 5 Stars
It's hard for me to explain how much of an impact this film had on me. It is one of the most dreamlike experiences that I have ever had in a theatre. The first two hours of the film seem to follow a narrative -- and then there are the last 40 minutes, which will just blow you away if you have never seen this film before. After repeated viewings, I think that I have my own interpretation. The beauty of this film is that you can attach your own ideas to it, thus involving you in what goes down on the screen. It's laced with both horror and mystery, and filled to the brim with dream logic.
Totally captivating and beautiful to look at, this is a true work of art. The best time to view this film would be late in the evening, with the curtains drawn, in the dark. It's frightening, to be sure, but entirely worth it!
For the parents out there, I wouldn't recommend this to anyone under the age of 17. There are scenes of explicit sexuality throughout the film.
RECOMMENDED!
Movie Review: Horribly disturbing and incredible
Summary: 5 Stars
I've seen this movie twice. I love David Lynch. Maybe it's best not to explain the plot at this point. Just watch it, and experience it, as the horrible nightmare that it is. Innocence gone bad. The horror of insanity. It's all there, in Hollywood, of course. A dreamworld.
It's beautful, horrible, and tragic. It's David Lynch. And it's one of my favorite movies ever.
Summary of Mulholland Dr.
Pandora couldn't resist opening the forbidden box containing all the delusions of mankind, and let's just say David Lynch, in Mulholland Drive, indulges a similar impulse. Employing a familiar film noir atmosphere to unravel, as he coyly puts it, "a love story in the city of dreams," Lynch establishes a foreboding but playful narrative in the film's first half before subsuming all of Los Angeles and its corrupt ambitions into his voyeuristic universe of desire. Identities exchange, amnesia proliferates, and nightmare visions are induced, but not before we've become enthralled by the film's two main characters: the dazed and sullen femme fatale, Rita (Laura Elena Harring), and the pert blonde just-arrived from Ontario (played exquisitely by Naomi Watts) who decides to help Rita regain her memory. Triggered by a rapturous Spanish-language version of Roy Orbison's "Crying," Lynch's best film since Blue Velvet splits glowingly into two equally compelling parts. --Fionn MeadeMystery Video
