watch it again. read some analysis. it's not that hard to figure out. it's very emotional.

Mulholland Drive apparently

A porno with a long ass intro

Lost Highway with girls

A literal masterpiece.

Lynch's 2nd best work

Sounds like you got a bit lynched, there, good buddy
Don't worry. It's all just a dream

Is Adam Kesher the best part of this movie?

what's his best?

hardly

yes youtube.com/watch?v=h2XnBsLP9lE

Lost Highway

I admit I did not get it without some extra help because I was too lazy to rewatch it, but it makes sense. Unlike Inland Empire.

kino, you watched kino

...

You watched Namoi Whats rub her pusy on another pusy

It's about Hollywood!! Now that you know, you can be in on the secret too and make fun of people who didn't understand Lynch's clear intentions.

It's less focused than Lost Highway, less compelling than Blue Velvet, and less unsettling that Fire Walk With Me.

The Movie

not really tho is it

he was just baiting ignore it

>everything I don't like is Reddit: A redditor's guide to film discourse

I liked Inland Empire for the experience, but I had no idea what was going on most of the time

I watched it and it's a piece of shit, like most of Lynch's work.

There's nothing in Mulholland Drive that you won't see in Lost Highway. Lynch literally made the same movie twice except he just changed up a few things. main character does something horrible that they can't face and escape into a fantasy or dream world to cope but have to face what happened in the end. Same movie.

(checked)
She got got by the hand rubbing elder people

I still don't get who was supposed to be the Dr of the title

Everything that happens from the opening credits (with the car driving before the accident) until Rita opens the blue box is a dream. Now watch the film again, and pay attention. Then think about it and try to see how the things that happen in the real world are related to the things that happen in Diane's dream.

The story itself is actually pretty simple, but the scenes in the dream can have various interpretations.

>abc pussied out of making this tv kino
Fuck sake it could have been the next or even better than twin peaks I mean hot lesbians solving supernatural crimes through hollywood while based justin theroux solves the jewish conspiracy? I mean come the FUCK on now.

damn this would have been great

You saying our timeline isn't perfect.

I wonder what's going on in the timeline where Orson Welles got the Vader part.

Sure, keep pretending like you totally understand Lynch's "Master Piece"

the movie is not as good as everyone makes it to be. You're all afraid of seeming like a "pleb" or whatever fucking moronic label you want to use.

Go back to /r/movies

Personally I like Mulholland Drive better. I think it's more emotional and has a better atmosphere and soundtrack. But yeah, you're right. It's the same idea as Lost Highway.

>don't get lured into blowing everything you have on the questionable promise of fame and riches by people who will profit from you whether you fail or succeed
>keep your aspirations realistic
That's literally it
It's a good movie but the core of the thing really isn't complicated

This and Eyes Wide Shut are my favorite movies to watch when drunk.

Lynch's most overrated film. A good film that unfortunately always draws discussion away from Lynch's best: Blue Velvet, Lost Highway, and Eraserhead.
The best thing about it is that it introduces you to Laura Harring, who unfortunately seemed to fall off the grid afterwards.

>muh Buddhism

It's a pilot for a Twin Peaks follow up tv series which never took off so Lynch got some cash together to film a weird ending and then released it in cinemas knowing people would eat it up as mysterious in the same way they do with Blue Velvet and Fire Walk with Me when they were chopped up in editing and released incomprehensible.

Think of the European version of the Twin Peaks pilot with the extended alternate ending. If that was all that ever got released people would be analysing it in the same way they did this even though that's not at all what the series was originally intended to be like.

As a film it's great but this wouldn't have worked as a TV show. I'm glad they didn't accept the pilot.

a film made by a crazy person from idaho

Proof that blue velvet was his only good movie he's ever made.

Season 3

pretty stupid meme movie desu

user think about the lesbians or what the blue box/keys thing could have ended up being instead of just dreams or the lesbians or how justin theroux's plot would have turned out long term and also naomi watts' tits

>Watchin Mulholland Drive
>Cool, this movie rocks. Atmospheric neo-noir
>These girls are hot. Wouldn't it be awesome if they had a sex scene
>A few minutes pass
>Lynch you fucking madman you delivered

I wish I could watch this movie again for the first time. Hopefully someday I'll have Alzheimer's.

the straight story is his masterpiece

same

we have this thread every fucking day

Heavy breath*

Inland Empire

DUDE POST MODERNISM LMAO

don't try to circle the square on an experiential surrealist lynching, it's not a puzzle.

>DUDE IT WAS JUST A DREAM LMAO

>tfw the obvious dream stuff is just to distract you from the actual Buddhist undertones the movie has

How the heck was Blue Velvet incomprehensible

Dude I've only seen 1 Lynch movie but I've heard about Inland Empire and everything Lynch makes is incomprehensible garbage cobbled together in editing lmao.

What was in the blue box?

Anyone think the show version of Mulholland Dr might have succeeded had they swapped the genders of the main leads?

Justin Theroux is a Hollywood actor who comes across an amnesia Mark Pellegrino and they have adventures/gay sex trying to help Mark regain his memory. While this is going on, we follow Laura Harring as a young female director who finds out her wife is cheating on her with the lady she hired to redecorate their house, while Naomi Watts plays a bungling hit-woman who Harring hires to kill the evil producer that is threatening to ruin the film she is directing, which may or may not be her last chance to direct a major film depending on if it is a hit.

A bad movie.

I love Lynch and he generally seems like a pretty sincere guy, but this movie is pointless.
He cobbled together a bunch of scenes from an unaired pilot and cause it's kind of confusing it received universal praise because plebs think confusing is an indicator of quality and intelligence.

>There's nothing in Mulholland Drive that you won't see in Lost Highway
That's an absurd comment considering that not a single shot from Lost Highway appears in Mulholland Drive. They are entirely mutually exclusive in terms of the actual content, regardless of thematic or plot related parallels you can draw.

I mean for fuck's sake how many times have we seen "stranger comes to town" or "boy meets girl under false pretense that come to light in the third act and prompt a breakup, montage, and reconciliation" and yet we're going to complain about Lynch making three night mare logic identity chaos films? (counting Inlane Empire as well)

FWWM, followed by season 3.

bum

Agree with this post. A fine movie with some cool scenes, but ultimately just feels kind of watered down and inconsequential. I think that subdued nature is actually why it has so much acclaim from critics and fans; Lynch's other films are far more ambitious and Imo better, but this one was the most conventional while still being "Lynchian"

I got more enjoyment out of Lost Highway, but I suppose MD was more emotional, though still lacking when compared to some of his others, especially FWWM

Why does every analysis ignore the Michael J Anderson character.

Most essays barely touch on the director plot that takes like 1/3 of the movie.

Watered down in the sense that if you take the dream interpretation at face value that everything is explained. Lost Highway has almost the same story but there's no easy explanation for why it's happening, at least as easy as with MD. I don't agree with what you're saying but I feel like that's your problem with it. But if we take that to its full conclusion I would think you like Inland Empire the most but I doubt that's the case. My order is

IE > MD > LH

for those three that are the most similar in themes.

this
great movie btw, maybe not my *favorite* lynch but certainly the best distillation of his talent and vision

Ha I actually do like Inland Empire the most. I understand there's a lot more subtext to MD and really most of his movies, I just had way more fun piecing together LH and was subsequently let down by the lack of a puzzle in MD, which spells it all out for you. IE is an entirely new plane and I like it for many more reasons than just its narrative complexity

It's shit.

Cool, well at least you actually believe what you're talking about unlike some other people that say the same shit and yet hate IE.

I'll always wonder if these guys were meant to have a bigger role in the show... I guess I'll never know...

The Winkies scene was shot for the movie and wasn't in the pilot. Maybe they would have shown up later but as far as we know that scene was never meant to be in the show. The trash goblin thing was at the very end of the pilot but that's the only time it shows up in it.

Really? I thought they were meant to be more important early on, feels bad man

mulholland-drive.net/studies/pilot.htm

Actually it says here that the scene was in the pilot script and was probably shot along with it but wasn't included in the pilot.
