A good experiment gone terribly wrong

Rating: 5/10 (19 April 2002)

The plot outline of mulholland drive is excellent, though it stole the idea from memento, which was better told and overall a better movie.
Mulholland drive starts off in the middle of a story, and then continues on and ends at the beginning of the story. The movie started off slow, with not enough dialogue. Then it started to capture me and I was almost completely sucked in to the movie. Then, of course, stupid David Lynch goes into 20 plus minutes of pure garbage. He is purposely trying to deceive the audience, and have it so that they dont know what is going on. Whereas in memento, though it was very complex, the audience is always given the "chance" to understand what is going on, Mulholland drive purposely tries to confuse you. There were also too many art film scenes that could have been left out, such as the two girls in the theater. They presented nothing to the movie, only confusion.
When looking back, it was a good story, after seeing the end, leading to the end, is where the movie went wrong. However the movie is worth viewing but dont fall into the trap of thinking that if you watch it again it will make more sense, trust me, it doesnt. The reason for this is that the overrated director doesnt want in to make sense.
