I watched Mulholland Drive, a movie directed by David Lynch which stars Naomi Watts, after reading the hype about this movie online. This movie appears in so many lists that I often wonder what’s so great about it. I finally watched it and it left me so confused. I don’t know what’s the movie about. I had to look up online for an explanation of the movie. Apparently, the director wasn’t much help. So I found a YouTube video that explains the movie quite well. Now I understand but then it was her interpretation. Others interpret the movie differently. But I feel her interpretation is quite satisfactory. Has anyone watched this movie? What do you think of this movie?

I watched this movie when it first came out, it was more than a decade ago. I was a student back then. I still remember it because I was also super confused and didn't understand what happened. I would watch it again, maybe now it will be less confusing.

I think you would find it still confusing. Perhaps you should just watch the explanation of the movie at YouTube before you watch the movie then it will all make sense a bit.

@UmiNoor When the movie came out we didn't have the option ro read reviews, I remember it was on VHS tape. Generally I prefer to watch the movie and have my point of view before reading the explanation. Otherwise I will have to follow other people's interpretations throughout the movie and it won't be the same.

@UmiNoor That would be very useful information. I don't think it was icluded when I rented the movie from the VHS rental store back then. Thank you for the information!

It’s not exactly complicated; just confusing because it’s not presented in any linear format.

That sounds like a movie that I would not enjoy watching.

It started out quite straightforward in the beginning but towards the end, it got really confusing. I was just curious and that was why I watched the movie. People are praising it and saying that it’s one of the best movies of the 20th Century so I just want to know what’s all the hype’s about.

Mulholland Drive was directed by David Lynch not Fincher. Anything by Lynch is confounding.

Oh, you’re right. It’s David Lynch. I always confuse these two. I prefer movies that are made by David Fincher like Fight Club, Gone Girl, Seven, etc. I haven’t actually seen any of David Lynch’s other movies.

I only watched this movie because of the hype that surrounds it. People are saying that it’s one of the best movies of the 20th Century and being curious, I just watched it and got really confused by it.
