Mulholland Drive Reviews
Seems excessive and preachy
I think Lynch wants desperately to teach us something to us in this film. I think he's like 'look at all of you, how you're living, all your petty desires leading you to ruin'. His personal frustrations come out in the film, with Hollywood, with us 'peons', with fake people, with society.
The film is intellectually interesting, and yes you are strung along by the film for 2/3 of the movie then when it twists you do learn something of how we grasp and desire things. We want the happy ending without effort. The effortless Hollywood ending. And the abruptness that Lynch turns on us is supposed to teach us a lesson about this and show us that in reality theres always someone with more power and more desires than you have.
Thats my problem with the film it seems excessively contrived and intellectual to make a point about our frailties. Ok I get it David we're weak, muddled, desirous. And often these qualities lead us to ruin. I can stick my head out the window and understand this. I dont need a multi-millionare intellectual to shove this in my face. You are not sitting in judgement of the human race David Lynch, you are here to serve humanity like the rest of us you are not above it.
Thats really what I question about Lynch and this film. Is this film really serving the audience. Or is it serving Lynch's frustrations and worldview.
Frankly I'm tired of chasing Lynch's phantasmal imagery, I dont care what red pillow represents intellectually. I dont care what the midget behind the glass represents intellectually. I have a heart and thats enough, I dont need some film to stab me to try and tell me whats wrong. Love is what pierces illusion not intellectualism, apparently Lynch has forgotten this truth.
One of the Worst Films Ever...
I used to be a David Lynch fan -having enjoyed "Twin Peaks" and "Blue Velvet" - but unfortunately, "Mulholland Dr" is a worthless, waste of time. Lynch makes a tedious 2 1/2 hour film where over half the film is a "dream sequence." He not only misleads and cheats his audience..but in this case bores us as well with unnecessary scenes and inane dialogue. Even the "hot" lesbian scenes can't revive this stinker. Avoid this film like the plaque.
