Great movie,with a plot not as complex as it might seem

Rating: Null/10 (28 January 2002)

I really enjoy this film even when the plot bored me, not for being complex but rather plainly sad.I must admit, however, that watching the film didn't bore me, because there was more to it than the sad plot. It is a great work on dreams and a great subtle and playful accord of sounds, time and camera movements. I have read great deal of reviews going on and on about the nonsense or absence of a real plot. I just came back from the movie and of course the film made me think, but never crossed my mind that the plot was actually nonsense nor that much complicated. The film is an intellectual game of symbols and what there is behind them. I don't think it would be hard to decipher all of them if the film is watched for a second time. That film is a great work on mental masochism and it is full of fanciful tricks for the movie connoisseur.
I will explain the way I saw it.
--------SPOILER---------
Maybe I might also need a bullet shoot in my head to see what was going on, because the only thing that seemed real was Diane shooting herself, even when I knew that reality began when Rita open the blue box and turned into Camilla. From that event to the bullet shot everything was real; the rest was Diane dreaming being Betty. So the film really began with Diane at the limousine, knowing that Camilla was getting married, shutting herself in her room, dreaming the inverted story and killing herself out of frustration.That was the chronological order. Lynch, however, put Diane dream first, but the key to the blue box brought back reality.
The mystery of the film is based on the fact of not giving away too much and I don't think the director will either if interviewed. In fact, the blue box that was open with the blue key was found in the theater call Silencio. That theater was Hollywood, but it was also the place to open up Diane reality, so her shaking. Silencio in Spanish means silence. Then, Hollywood is not only asking for silence to its own tricks, but also for silence to its own decadent reality. But, of course, that is David Lynch opinion.
The real mystery of today's world is based on the opposite, namely, giving away a lot, making yourself so transparent that people might not have time to see clearly too much, even because too much is never enough. I actually believe that Hollywood is just that. The more you show the more elusive and path-opener things turn. It is not about getting confuse or silencing, but about a heavy traffic-jam of exposure in its countless variety. So, you can always have the chance of taking Noah Ark to enjoy the flooding in a journey in which you can only get lost if you stop rowing for good. That was Diane case. But, even when sad as any film noir,I must admit I enjoyed Mulholland Drive and wouldn't mind to get hold of the DVD copy.
