Mullholland Dr.
February 4th 2009 05:00
It is rare that you can sit through two hours of a movie and walk away having no idea what just happened. This movie has been out a few years and the fact that it got such good reviews at the time made me think I had missed out in something so I went back and rented it on DVD, then becasue I still didn't get it I looked it up to find out what the director said it was about and as it turns out he doesn't know either.
There is a certain enigma to the film that is enjoyable it sucks you in becasue you are sitting there not wanting this movie to out smart you. You want to be able to get to the bottom of it and find out what is real and what is not and fix it al in your head but doing that is a watse of time because it doesn't figue out. Post-Modern is a phrase I would use to describe Mulholland Drive. It is a story but not one that makes sense and it is about attitude to life and peoples reactions to other people. It is about being an individual who is trying to fit in.
I hate to say I didn't like it becasue everyone else seems to love and I don't hate it, I didn't want to get up and walk away from it but i think in some ways it trys to hard. As a veiwer I was kept involved in the movie but it was trying to keep me out too. It is not an easy movie to watch. I would say if you are a film buff try it but not for a wet sunday afternoon.
