Mulholland Dr. (the truth)

Rating: 10/10 (27 October 2012)

The truth behind the meaning of a film is, simply, to watch it. David Lynch is a genius in the realm of filmmaking. Mulholland Dr, for what it is, may be considered a masterpiece, a piece of crap or just a regular film. But in all honesty, it is what you make it.
Lynch is a man that isn't going to give you a simple explanation to a film's meaning, he wants you to decide that for yourself. Because in almost all of David Lynch's films he not only writes, but directs plots and situations that give the viewer a sense of confusion. A sense that not everything is meant to be understood. And he is good at it.
A film is something of an abstraction. A puzzle that is made broken to be solved, not by the director, but by the viewer(s).
David Lynch makes the kind of film that you can watch over a million times, only to find hidden clues that you didn't see the first million times that can chronologically, and inevitably change your insight of the films purpose.
I have seen "Mulholland Dr." over and over, and I can for one say the film could be about one of many things. David Lynch is a man who doesn't believe in telling people what the his films mean to him, because thats just his opinion out of another six billion.
A film is meant to be strange, obscure, and even abstract to the viewers. Because if a film was to give one and only one purpose of meaning to the minds of everyone's imagination, there would be no diversity. No mystery. and that's what "Mulholland Dr." is. A mystery.
