Date: Apr 9, 2002
first of all im spanish so forgive me from my mistakes. I think Mulholland drive starts when rita(is the blonde one no? goes to Holliwood to start working as an actriss. At the same time her aunt dies on a plane accident and she lost her economic support. she starts working as a waither but she doesnt like the job becouse she think she is better than the people of the cafe( the dark guy outside the cafe is the hate for them)She knows laura and fell in love whit her but she cant bear she soesnt love her and when laura marries the director she want to kill her. In that moment the dream starts, By the moment rita is the one who helps laura becouse she needs her ( rol exchanged) and both fall in love , in thant new world the director decay for his latest love for laura. the blue box comes to be the memory back and the imposibility to denay the past. Otherwise there is not one history, just lifes with posible diferent endings

The meaning of Mulholland Drive
I am the only person I know who perfectly understands Mulholland Drive (Lynch does to but doesn't publically -- for publicity -- admit to it).
FFFFFFFFFrrFFFFFFFFFFFrrrFFFFFFFFFrrrrrFFFFFFrrrrrrrFFFrrrrrrrFFrrrrrrrr
The above is the linear structure of the film, with FFF = fantasy/daydream the rr = reality.
In real life the blonde and brunette have been lovers. The brunette jilts the blonde to marry a film director. In a fit of jealously, the blonde hires a hitman to kill her lover. In her app't, at Mulholland Drive, while waiting for the news of the brunette's demise, she slips into wishful thinking, a daydream, an if only scenario. (We all do this when things in life aren't working out as we would like). This is where the movie begins. The drive rr is real, the accident begins the daydream FFFFF which takes up the first 1.20 minutes of the film, interspersed with moments of reality, [the introduction the hitman, the director's wife's infidelity, etc]. As the film advances, the daydream begins to show cracks, allowing more rrrr moments to get in (the discovery of the blonde's actual apparment, the brunette's taking up with the film director etc). Eventually, the daydream must yield to reality, (analagous to Hollywood fantasy yielding reality). Ending on a strictly rrrr note, we find the jilted blonde, alone, living in rrrr squalor in Mulholland Drive?
