Talk:Mulholland Drive (film)

message: That video is on YouTube, I think the link to the video should be added to “external links”, but I don’t know its source.--DonGuess (talk) 19:47, 22 May 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  “David Lynch talks Mulholland Drive” interview 

message: This hour long analysis appeared recently on youtube, and I think knocks all the other pieces off the board: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OiCfHW3N3vo It covers pretty much every detail, and concludes that the woman in apartment 12 is Betty/Diane after she's been spat out by Hollywood. Unsure if it can be considered a reliable source. Shtove (talk) 18:56, 3 November 2020 (UTC)

thread_title:  Themes and interpretation 

message: I'd say being voted as the best film of the 21st century by an esteemed panel is enough to be one of the greatest films of all time. Being ranked 28th best movie of all time by one of the most prestigious groups in cinema history is also a reason to put it as a greatest of all time.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Boomyeahboss (talk • contribs) 05:17, 12 November 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: I think differently. Especially because the lead says "widely regarded as..." which gives the impression that most critics and publications hold that opinion, which is not the case. Most publications mentioned here specify that it is considered one of the best films of the decade\century. Therefore the lead is accurate as it now stands. - Daveout(talk) 13:31, 12 November 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: The general phrasing violates WP:PUFFERY. Just report each of the two polls (all-time and 21st-century) and perhaps add more as needed. Erik (talk | contrib) (ping me) 16:05, 12 November 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: I actually have a bigger problem with the term "widely regarded" when you've basically just got one poll describing it in such terms. I agree that the generalisation is not necessary when all you've got is two polls. Betty Logan (talk) 23:40, 12 November 2020 (UTC)

replies: text: I believe you are mistaken. If he did, he changed it before he and Richard Roeper reviewed it on At the Movies; here is his original review of the film on siskelebert.org: https://siskelebert.org/?p=12650 Cryptkeeperfun (talk) 16:55, 13 November 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  Ebert didn't give it 4 stars at first 

message: "Mulholland Drive has been compared with Billy Wilder's film noir classic Sunset Boulevard (1950), another tale about broken dreams in Hollywood"
Is it ok to call something a "classic" as a factual statement in an encyclopedia? Isn't it more of a subjective thing rather than saying "it is widely regarded as a classic"? Is it against NPOV? I'm asking out of curiosity. Dornwald (talk) 00:35, 26 March 2024 (UTC)
