Classic Lynch

Rating: 9/10 (28 June 2003)

*Spoiler's Ahead, I explain the plot*
I really enjoyed this movie and thought it was very unique. I usually like David Lynch movies (I even like Dune) and this was not an exception. I have my theory on what this movie was about since there are about 6 dozen theories on the meaning of this movie. The first half of the movie is Naomi Watt's dream of what she wanted reality to be. She fell in love with Laura Elena Harring's character and the first half was her dream of the way she wanted it to turn out. The second half was her nightmare of what really happened. Harring's character falls in love with the director dude and and Watt's gets jealous and hires a hitman to have her killed. She ends up committing suicide at the end because of her guilt of killing Harring's character and she is now living in a nightmare. Random character's pop up, like in a dream, and there is classic Lynch dream logic. Also tagline for film is "A love story in the city of Dreams" which is a joke kind of because it is explaining how Watts falls in love and then has two dreams, one good and the other a nightmare about her experience of falling in love. The reality was though that Watt's fell in love and then Harring fell in love with director man and Watt's hires hitman to kill her. Very good film, very abstract. I give it 9/10.
