Well, I rented Mulholland Drive
Well, I rented Mulholland Drive tonight. I was watching it with a friend of mine and we were laughing afterward about how we should tell everyone how it was a really great movie, how it was so profound.... how it did get sort of confusing in the middle but then the structure became obvious right at the end and how the realization was so glorious. Because really, we just didn't have a damn clue what we were watching. And it was so loopy that I was sure it didn't have an actual explanation or structure, not like Memento. So then what happens? I go and search for it on Salon, find a review, and find out one brief explanation that made the entire movie make sense. That pisses me off! I hate directors that make you feel like an idiot! Of course I don't think I can be faulted for not immediately realizing that the entire secret of the movie hinges on masturbation. Huh, maybe
that's what was going on in Memento.
