Subject: bifurcation
Date: May 1, 2002
alright, i loved this movie, but this is the third time (after twin peaks and lost highway) that i've felt a complete paradoxical understanding/not-understanding of a movie. There's a few things that these 3 movies share in common that i feel like i kinda understand and i'm hoping you guys can help me with.
First off, clearly, there's some sort of bifurcation/doppleganger/duality/yinyang theme expressed through various pairs of characters in each movie. The most obvious is the betty/rita pair. But there's also the Bob/Leland pair (from twin peaks). And the pair of Patricia Arquettes (from lost highway).
There's some kind of significance in colors especially red and blue. In fact, is this another way of expressing the doppleganger theme?
There has to be some kind of tie in between MFAP (man from another place - twin peaks) and Mr Rok (played by same actor - mulholland dr) and maybe even the Blake character in lost highway. Remember how MFAP used to always say "let's rock!", and now the character's name is Mr Rok?
There's definitely some kind of Laura Palmer/Betty tie in. The kept showing that black and white photo of Betty that always reminded me of the Laura Palmer photo they would show at the end of every twin peaks episode.
Anyway, there's way more stuff i noticed that i feel like i understand but at the same time i can't explain at all. Can any of you articulate this insanity for me?
thanks.
