Timeless Masterpiece - A must watch

Rating: 10/10 (22 March 2013)

First things first: This Movie is a must see - Even if you hate it afterwards. The story of Mulholland Drive is built and woven with layers. Each layer when peeled off takes viewers a step closer to the conception of "truth" or perceived truth.
When watching this movie, one must be very very careful in not judging it at first by simply viewing it at face value, if you do so, you'll be surely disappointed and be scratching your head over what you just witnessed. Every scene, every moment, every act(s) is a consequence of previous act for sure, but also has deeper layers (deeper causes), To describe the layer/deeper causal example in a practical way: if you were driving on the street and suddenly a bank robber stops you and gives you a 100$ note and you gleefully accept his generosity because you are in dire need to do so, is the cause of your glee bank robber giving 100$ bill, or his insidious agenda to take money away from someone and make others happy? or is it simply play of events and its a coincidence and your "luck" that caused all of it; Or is it that you drove on the street hoping that perhaps today is the day when someone will come and help you since you are dire need As we can probably make out that there are different sides, different causes of a simple event, how we perceive such events and are affected by it is what makes our reality. Like if we go in even further, what motivates us to act or participate in the event and affect our own reality?
Mulholland drive is a that confusing road that leads to nowhere until some agent flushes our misperceptions and takes us to the "higher truth" whatever it be using a secret path, and perhaps when all of it plays out, our illusion gets over. To all viewers, I won't talk further in riddles, but there are some important elements you need to consider when you watch this movie:
1. Each segment is important, so be careful to watch and let it run through your minds.
2. This movie relates and centers around a woman and what goes on in her mind, and beyond the conjured up world. Understand that sometimes thoughts running in mind are hard to describe in their physical sense of meaning so a lot of expression that comes out in the movie maybe hard at first to fathom, but movie is clearly able to distinguish between: correct, incorrect, devoid of thought patterns (blankness)/deep sleep, imaginary(hallucinatory) and memories. Not only that sometimes colorings of thoughts, our state mind (one-pointed, dullness etc.) are very hard to describe in their physical counterparts: movie to some extent is able to put that forward as well.
3. Movie centers around how other characters spun out from the woman's mind and how she "feels" about those characters (this can be far from truth), characters like betty or Rita or characters like "the girl" for example. (No Spoilers for you guys reading this and have come this far).
4. Movie can be complete but still incomplete - that is how mind works and there is a limitation on how all things/patterns fit together based on observer and what is being observed and what are the colorings of the thought stream that have been witnessed thus far.
5. Movie has some sexual acts that some may find disturbing, but again its mind field, in the world of mind-field anything is possible, we all have fantasies, we all have hallucinations, we all have objects of affections.
Many of the elements seem apparent but they really have deeper meaning to them, like "It is an illusion " or Silencio at the end. Overall I would say, this movie requires a lot of patience to understand and grasp, if you are looking for pop-corn drama, go watch inception or some other flick that gives you just that, there's a lot of those out there (nothing against those as well, they are fantastic but they are too apparent and too easy to follow). Movie often is like life - it can be as easy as you make it to be, or as hard as you make it out to be Overall a fantastic value for money.
