Mulholland Drive (2001)

Hollywood of all it's glitz and glamour, holds something dark and sinister within it as well.
The movie is directed by David Lynch and gives off a heart pounding, edge of the seat vibe throughout the movie.

The movie revolves around an actress trying to make it big in Hollywood, but like every other industry succumbs to its glamour and fails to notice it's self absorbing side. The film has lots of different interpretation to it, something which is common to all David Lynch movies. It has all the elements that makes the movie a twisted dark fantasy.
The background music is particularly important as without it the special scenes are useless.

Naomi Watts plays a dual character in this movie, one of a distraught Hollywood actress and one of a woman who comes to Hollywood for the first time, looking for her big break. You'd be taken into a ride inside a very very twisted mind of someone whose thinking is fogged by lust and revenge. The entire movie at first glance will not make any sense to you, and that is perfectly fine, it's supposed to be that way. All the different characters and their respective story lines would make you feel as though there is no connection between any of them, but look deeper and you will find the connection.
Laura Harring plays a very vital role in the movie as well, as without her presence and actions Naomi Watts's character is nothing. It can be said in a way that Laura Harring's character gives birth to the twisted progression of events we see in Mulholland Drive.

To say that Mulholland Drive has an ending is and will be totally false, because there is no ending. It's all up to the viewer to separate two distinct plot lines and understand which one is the reality and which one is the illusion.

Mulholland Drive is not a movie that makes perfect sense, but if you have an open mind and a will to connect the dots and make theories about the impossible, this is one movie you should not miss. It should however be noted that the nudity factor is extreme in the movie, and you might want to check up on that before getting into it.

Like they say, 'Everything is an Illusion' in this world.
Silenco.

Glamour, struggle, nudity, revenge and a pursuit to find the truth. Mullholland Drive has got everything that a thriller based in hollywood should have but it is unlike any movie anyone has ever seen.
After getting involved in a car wreck Rita loses her memory. She then teams up with Betty( Naomi Watts), a wannabe actress, in search of clues to get her memory back. The movie is obscure with random characters popping out in scenes where you have no idea what's going on, but David Lynch does enough to keep the audience interested throughout by the brilliant twist of mysticism. You just know that there is a twist at the end but I can bet my soul that the smartest of the smart movie-watchers won't be able to predict the twist.
David Lynch shows his genius by the way he misleads his audience throughout the movie. In a certain scene he directly asks the audience not to believe what they see and even then everybody is deceived. Powerful performances from Naomi Watts, Laura Helling and Justin Theroux and the absurd characters make it a entertaining watch.
To be totally honest not everyone is going to like this movie. Not everyone is even going to understand the movie but if you're a person who likes a movie that compels you to think, a person that enjoys allegories then this is just the movie for you. Mullholland Drive is a masterpiece in the sense that it is very unlikely that two persons will derive the same conclusion after watching the movie as it varies with the variation of people's perspectives
