Please please please someone tell me what happened here. I just couldn't get my head around the last twenty minutes or so. Can anyone help?

Basically its a girls last dream before she kills herself, but reality comes back in the end. Its like when people do something bad, out of guilt they try to create a different reality.

Well, a common interpretation is that the majority of the film is a dream, and then the film transitions to reality (after going into the box). However, it's really up to the viewer to create his/her own interpretation.
(What I'm still trying to wrap my head around is Inland Empire. I've watched it a few times and have a basic idea of what it is, but it's a far more complex work than Mulholland Dr.)

"Mulholland Drive" is nonsense to me. Lynch cobbled together footage he shot for a planned TV series that never got made and then created a "framework" that would at least leave it open of interpretation. Because of that, I have a hard time accepting it as a film.

"Now... you will see me one more time, if you do good. You will see me... two more times, if you do bad. Good night." One of my top 10 favorite films. Multiple viewings. Never the same experience twice.

My personal interpretation was that both characters were in Hell/ Purgatory, & their punishment was to live out each others lives/ take each others place again & again. It coud be a reason a lot of people are confused by the switch later in the movie.

I just remember the old people acting creepy and pawing at her like they were demons or something.
Weird movie, will have to see it again someday.

What actually happens in Mulholland Drive:
Naomi Watts wins a contest in her home town which leads her to move to LA where she hopes to become a movie star. She meets and falls in love with Laura Harring, who is also an aspiring actress. Harring's career takes off, while Watts' does not, and Harring eventually ends their relationship. Watts blames the movie industry for her failed career and relationship, so she hires someone to kill Harring. Things are made worse by this decision so Watts kills herself.
The majority of the movie is Watts' idealized dream version of events, while the final 25 minutes or so shows Watts dealing with the aftermath of the hit (with flashbacks of how the relationship actually played out mixed in).

I've watched this movie twice, and I found it so convoluted and confusing. I hear such rave reviews about it, and how loved this film is, such a classic, so praised.
Well,...I don't get it. Or it just didn't "hit" me the way it's hitting so many others. I'm guessing I need to give it another whirl.

Best US film of the new millennium. Not a "cult" film. This discussion should be moved to the "classic" section.
Sometimes it takes time for the movie-going public to catch up. I have just re-watched "Night of the Hunter" (1955). It flopped with the critics and commercially and ended Laughton's directorial career even though it was in no way "difficult". Now generally recognized as one of the best US movies ever (though with an English director).
Similar story with "Peeping Tom" (1960). Its critical failure virtually ended the career of the UK's greatest-ever director. Now highly rated.

I wanted to smack the crap out of David Lynch after watching the movie.
However, Laura Herring has nearly perfect tits.

Great movie, even if you don't understand it.

Great movie, even if you don't understand it. I totally agree here Admin . A great yet very surrealistic and stylish film indeed . IMPO - It seemed to be in the " basic storyline sense " of the show and movie " Twin Peaks " as well . The whole story of - " a lonely young woman in over her head with a complicated life she feels she can't fix or resolve no matter what she does " . I only wished David Lynch had the chance to have made this movie into a TV series as well ( it would have also completed this movie too ? ) . I most definitely would have watched it and purchased it on DVD for my collection too .

Just saw this last night. I usually love David Lynch movies and tv shows but this one missed with me. This is actually one of those movies ( like the Twin Peaks movie and TV series ) that definitely has to be watched more than just once to really understand the character development as well as the underlined story too . Also of course David Lynch's work is very dark , mysterious , and steeped in surrealism - which I really enjoy because of it's differences ( IMPO - his movie and TV show formulas over the years seems to remain delightfully retro similar and unchanged it's rather a comfort to me ) . So in my experience with other folks who were fans or not of David Lynch's work it almost always has mixed feelings when it was discussed about certain movies or shows of his . I say either way it's cool . Just curious here srb3 - did you feel this movie missed with you because it was incomplete somehow without a TV Show to accompany it , or was it the characters / actors , or was it the storyline altogether , or was it something else ? Thanks also srb3 for your input on this as well .

Lost Highway has multiple story lines that eventually come together and make sense. Mulholland Drive has multiple story lines that really do *not* come together and make much sense. In fact the more I think about it the less sense it makes.

In fact the more I think about it the less sense it makes. Lost Highway 1997 film I'm very surprised I don't remember this one at all . Then again I haven't seen everything new of David Lynch's works especially when he first had all of these movies out there either ( only really got into his movies and shows about 10 years ago ) . Twin Peaks however was the one show I wanted to see for a long time since 1990 but missed out on it altogether back then sadly . I finally had to purchase it on DVD a few years ago as is -The Gold Box Edition ( but not sorry I did either and was worth every penny to me - IMPO ) and it was my very first real discovery of his unique work with that show too . Thanks so much srb3 for this David Lynch movie recommendation here and for your comparison input on the MD vs. LH Movies too .
