Only 30 mins in and I've seen pornos with better acting and dialogue than this. Why is this so universally acclaimed?

The surrealist, dream like feel that the movie has is the point.

What a God awful turd of a movie. I couldn't even finish it in one sitting, I just finished it tonight.

Legitimately might be the most overrated movie of all time. I don't know how that lol worthy garbage is acclaimed.

Anyway. It's a David Lynch movie. They're not for everyone.

The chicks were hot, but I don't remember understanding much. I think the twist was the actresses swapped roles/identities/parts/etc. halfway through or something.

I'm a Lynch fan, but Mulholland is vastly over rated.

It's been awhile since I've seen it but the way I remember it is more like most of the movie wasn't real, that it was just an exaggerated narrative or more likely a dream, which would really help explain the "dream like" and weird feel the movie has throughout. And the dinner scene towards the end is kinda the key scene where it's all revealed. The main chick moved to LA with the intention of being a big Hollywood star, she ended up meeting the other girl Camilla or something like that but she goes by Rita in the "dream" parts. They fell in love and eventually that girl broke her heart and left her for that director dude. So she's just a washed up actress who never made it, a junkie, and the woman she loved broke her heart and the movie is really all just an exaggerated metaphor for that. After that dinner scene she decides to hire that hitman to kill her. And then the movie nseeming ends with her commiting suicide after doing that? I'm not 100% my memory is a little foggy on it and I've only ever seen it once. but I think it's supposed to be sort of like Nocturnal Animals where the novel portion of the movie isn't real but it's an exaggerated metaphor got his relationship with that woman falling apart.

But there's tons of stuff about Mulholland Drive I don't remember the answer to like what was up with that monster chick that the dude saw behind that diner at the beginning? Who we're thinking seemingly government/shadow organization dudes? An exaggeration of movie executives? What was the meaning of the blue box and key? Etc. I should probably watch it again but jfc the movie is so terrible up until the ending and the "twist". I mean the acting, dialogue, and just everything sucks so hard. I don't care if it was intentional or not, I don't know if I can sit though like an hour and 45 mins of shit just to get a good ending.

the acting in the first half - 2/3rds is meant to be cheesy. it's the whole point.

Honestly, I think Lynch just throws whatever into the movie and fans make sense of it.

I think you're missing the point when you try to look too deeply into a David Lynch film. They're supposed to be disorienting and, for lack of a better term, "weird"

Isn't that the one that was supposed to be a show but then got scrapped, so he was like "I'll just throw a bunch of this shit together and they'll love it anyway"?

Like, literally an accident of a movie?
