***POSSIBLE SPOILERS, DON'T READ UNLESS YOU HAVE SEEN THE MOVIE***
*IS IT POSSIBLE TO SPOIL A LYNCH FILM?* mAyBe...mAyBe nOt.
I don't think that Mulholland Drive is really all that hard to understand. In a sentence I would describe it as "A young innocent actress comes to L.A. with big dreams, she really is a great actress, someone who could become successful and make her dreams come true, the problem is that Hollywood is a horrific cess pool of weirdos and freaks who, through their own selfishness and greed and evil intentions, prevent her from reaching her destined goal. This drives her mad and she become delusional, (not unlike John Nash in Beautiful Mind) she sees things that are not there, could not be real, there is a small blue box that I think could represent her soul and she thinks that L.A. has the key to it, when she finally gets the key and opens the box, it's empty, because L.A. robs you of your creative soul and that is what drives her insane and makes her kill herself" That's a long sentence. I need another one. "Rita symbolizes the dark side of L.A. success and Betty wants to nurse that wounded idea back to health, to give her back her soul, which for her is represented by her amnesia. The Director is seen stealing the idealized version of Betty, yet another event that leads her to madness"
One more sentence and I'm done. "The subject of emptiness and failure are symbolized by a scary homeless person who has the blue box(her soul, this is what happens to people who fail in Hollywood) and this wonderfully strangely bizarre show that takes place in abandoned movie palace in a slum of downtown L.A. at 3 in the morning that seems to be the place for lost souls, people who have failed and people who have escaped" Or I could be totally wrong. In my own mind it all makes sense to me and that's what matters.
