Mulholland Drive. I get... angry at myself when i don't understand a film that i know has a hidden meaning i can't grasp so i watched it 4 times until i finally understood it. Now i am complete

Basically every Lynch movie.

My first theory was that it was just Naomi Watts' character's masturbation fantasy laid out on film. I still have to watch it a second time to confirm though 😬

I haven't even watched this one. Will do.

When it finally clicked it was sooo satisfying so I'll tell you nothing

There really is something to make out of it? I generally assume Lynch films are good because they're weird and surprising, but I haven't seen many

[–] the_post_of_tom_joad 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Yeah. I'm not a fan of all lynchs films but i dig this one. Have you seen it? Do you want me to tell you the secret?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I've seen it years ago, perhaps I was too young. If there is indeed a secret, then you've piqued my curiosity and I'm tempted to rewatch it, so don't tell me !

Bruh! I still don't get it and I'm on my second watch. This made me feel better about it. I'll give it more rewatches 😂
