A woman commits suicide and we she her final thoughts

Rating: 10/10 (21 June 2014)

*** This review may contain spoilers *** Since I devoutly believe that brevity is king, and that simple is usually best...here is what this movie is all about.
A woman commits suicide, and Mr Lynch then presents what is happening to the woman internally /neurologically.
That is to say...Lynch shows us her last moments of sentience before oblivion takes her.
The movie starts with the sound of the gun going off. This represents the woman "Betty Elms / Diane Selwyn" committing suicide with a gun. This happens off camera and off scene.
The suicide is portrayed by the car crash in the opening scene. (The gunshot is heard during the crash scene.)
We are then shown Betty / Diane basically review the personalities and choices of her life.
As the neurons in her consciousness fire their last blips, her visions (which we see) get really weird. (i.e. her parents become tiny incomprehensible demon-like creatures.)
The movie ends with the memory of the suicide. Betty / Diane shoots herself. Clouds of oblivion takes all...movie ends.
That's the movie.
It's a contemporary "Carnival of Souls".
THERE! Now you understand "Mulholland Drive".
