I do not understand this scene, is this a dream? how do we know in this film when are we in a dream? hey guys, which you would say are the major themes of the film?
Based on the generally accepted interpretation, everything that happens between the beginning of the movie and when Naomi Watts wakes up as Dianne is a dream, and the very end is Dianne's crazy guilty hallucinations.
I'm not sure how to interpret the man behind Winkie's symbolically, but he seems to be a "keeper" of the Truth Box, i.e. Dianne's guilt and the horror of what she's done.
ive watched 2 david lynch films, so far, inland empire and this one, they both are connected, in a lot of ways, the theater, that blue light, if you see the rabbits series of lynch, there are clues too.
remember that guy in this movie, that answered a phone, and said, "the girl is not here" (or something like that)
he is the same guy with glasses that appear on inland empire, and talks to laura. and there he says through the phone: "the girl is here"
it wasnt even the last jump scene that does it, it's him telling you his dream at the start that makes it feel more scary than it is, just directing to perfection.
I have an open question that I would like to ask everyone. I welcome as many answers as I can get, short answers included.
When the man appears, does it actually frighten you? That is, does it produce a similar, heart-thumping effect as those internet screamers that you come across every now and then?
If not, how would you describe the sensation that watching the climax of the scene gives you?
Oh yes when the strange man appeared it most definately scared me! & it continues to scare me. I could watch hundreds of horror films and not be scared but Mulholland drive takes it that step further.. you believe that you are in your own nightmare, Lynch does that well.
I feel like something very dangerous and very frightening from outside has invaded my dreams, like Lynch is manipulating the darkest, most vulgar part of my unconscious. the way this scene plays out is similar to a lot of my nightmares, so he's managed to take something very intimate and personal and betray me. i can't explain! it's just the scariest scene i've ever experienced.
I thought the scene where Diane and Rita found the corpse in the house was scarier, actually.
But I got a lot of relief when, in showing this movie in a film seminar, one of the girls asked us to try to stop and hit fast-forward to skip past that scene...and then when we started it up again, it started RIGHT with the corpse staring at us in the face. :D
got to agree with you, the tension in this scene works, but the corpse's face in that boarded up house scene is making my spine tingle just thinking about it now (and I'm glad it's not on YT yet lol). I saw some nasty corpse's on the tv series Rasen related to the Japenese 'Ringu' but that mullholland corpse was dead creepier.
I agree. That scene in the boarded up apartment is the creepiest scene in the movie. The scene in this video is merely a matter of suspense and anticipation.
The more you think about this the scarier it becomes.
Of course, if you're very scientifically informed and you think about it too much it will become less scary. The one who's 'doing this'? Basically suggesting that a distant figure applies some sort of airborne force on real-life events, which, considering the physical consequences of this (and philosophical, think determinism) is absolutely preposterous.
I love how he does this, makes you have absolutely zero comfort watching the movie. The only way I comforted myself was by pausing the screen on the scary face and realize that its a guy w/ nice green eyes, and looks liek bob marley
This scene is scary in and of itself. It is supposed to give the watcher the same terror they would feel if something that haunted them in their dreams suddenly, and irrationally, came true. You aren't afraid because you have no appreciation for subtlety and suspense and only respond to gore and blood.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
actually gore and blood dont scare me either infact those movies are retarted. im pretty sure this scene didnt scare me because i didnt see the whole movie, i just stumbled upon this while browsing youtube.
jeseus that ia scary bit, i was very creeped out by this bit and i was very uncomfortable watching the rest of the movie because of angelo badamentis score and lynch's slow scary camera work. another scary bit is where the two women find the corpse on the bed...
I thought the scene played out exactly how Lynch wanted it. I didn't think they looked uncomfortable at all. I think they played the emotion of being scared to do something they've never done before (In the characters' lives).
better yet: imagine no one else saw the face. you read the comments about how disappointed everyone else is, and the video only has one star. "he just fainted out of nowhere? weak"
The way the scene builds up reminds me of when I'd scare the shit out of myself when I was little, thinking that something was going to jump out from around every corner. I just wish the scariness of the face matched how scary I wanted it to be.
I can't even watch this again it scares me so much. It reminds me of a recurring childhood nightmare I had about a monster behind the refrigerator. There is just something so -invasive- about the contradiction... the contrast between the harmless, mundane walls and the grotesquery that follows. *gag*
this is the scariest thing i've ever seen in a movie hands down. i just got done watching the movie and i'm still looking over my shoulder. that guy's acting combined with the dreadful music and lynch's under-your-skin directing just put the fear of god into me.
The first part of the film is Betty dreaming, this scene just shows the random nature of dreams. Evrything in the first part is linked (no matter how random) to the second part which is real life.
This isn't random. It's a dream within the dream. Dan is Diane, Herb is Camilla. Dan confronts his fear to get rid of the god awful feeling, Diane confronts 'what she's done', I won't spoil it. Dan can't handle it, neither can Diane. Herb/Camilla is what 'forces' the confrontation. Nothing is random.
I remember the first time I saw this scene. I remember constantly pausing the vid bc the buildup was so freaking scary. I didn't know what this guy was talking about but I sure didn't want to either! All horror filmmakers should take note of this scene
I disagree. I think that would have been far too obvious and contrived. We expect ghosties and ghoulies to come out at night; nothing original there. But the fact that the demon haunting that guy's dreams is now out there in the "real" world is a far scarier proposition.
I think setting this scene during daylight hours was what made it as scary as it is. Lynch knew exactly what he was doing.
This film totally makes sense, sure there are a lot of loose ends, but the main theme is quite obvious. When Rita opens the blue box, the film splits into the second part. If you watch this last part first it all becomes more clear. The last part of the movie is real, the first part is either a dream or a fantasy of Betty, where her life exiting, successfull and she is in control. In reality she's miserable because she lost Rita and she isn't a great actress like she hoped she would be.
It also may be considered a commentary about how the film industry in Hollywood works, and how feelings and desires are shaped/manipulated through film watching.
I think tomazco is basically saying that this movie was beyond his intellectual capabilities of understanding. It's okay if you don't understand it, not everyone in the world is created equal..

I think i would like to kick the shit out of you, and that its a shame that the internet gives arrogant runts like you a wall to hide behind while you insult people that you wouldn't, in a hundred years, dare to insult face to face.
I'm the arrogant runt? You're the one that posted "anyone trying to make sense out of this film is an idiot". Stop being an internet tough guy, you are just making yourself look like a loser.
If you did say such a thing in real life in front of me then I would probably still say something to a similar extent. If you resort to physical violence to sort things out then that just prooves to me how much of ignorant idiot you are rather than actually arguing over WHY this film is "senseless".
The film IS senseless in a way. It's subconscious, abstract stuff. It all comes down to a matter of preference, not intellectual superiority/inferiority. Do you take to Dali or Raphael? That's what it comes down to.
I remembered this scene for the longest time. First time I saw it it scared the hell out of me, because I wasn't expecting it to happen in "this kind" of movie. I wasn'r familiar with Lynch's stuff so I had no idea!
the gratuitous gore crowd won't get it, but then again, that's to be expected. this is what I'd call "scary for smart folks". there's nothing like the feeling of dread and uncertainty Lynch can conjure.
I totally agree. This is the first time I've seen this scene and I felt the build up entirely. The director did a great job and so did the score writer. The guy looked like the orc Krishnak from Return of the King though, but whatever.
when you see it for the first time in the context of the flick, it can floor you, literally. I knew Lynch -- and what he was capable of -- yet still I almost fell out of my chair.
the rational mind is saying, "Come on, how badly can this end, REALLY? I mean, how BAD can it possibly be?", and even as the awful dread builds inexorably, that thought anchors you.
as it turns out, it ends horribly, and the shock is intensified immeasurably by how unexpected and weird it is.
That's exactly it. We're so used to these kinds of scenes in horror movies, but the fact that this guy built this thing up so much in his head, and actually saw it makes it terrifying. There's no tricks here, the thing exists and we expect to be surprised with something we hadn't considered, but the surprised is that there is no surprise. SPOILERS --- I really wasn't expecting to see it again later on, and it was still scary as hell.
this wasn't the only scary scene in this film, infact imo this was the least scary bit, the scariest bit is when the 2 girls enter that house with the number 17, and they find that girl by the bed. i never understood this film anyway, i just assumed it was about 2 LCD abuising lesbiens, and the plot was like pulpfiction you just had to swap the 2 main characters about all the time
Most all of Horror movies are just forgettable schtick that is nothing more than mindless entertainment. Lynch's take on horror on fear is very real and very fucking effective to the mind.
ill be honest, but the scary person at the end didn't get me too good, but the long suspense got me into backbone chills overdrive!! it was directed in a really great way! :)
scary for smart folks. so much of this is mental. Lynch can conjure a feeling of dread where it seems completely misplaced. you know that going in. but whoever said the woman isn't scary is dead wrong, even if they're right about the build-up. you're thinking, WTF! how bad can this possibly be, whatever may be back there?!!! it's pretty bad, folks.
Mulholland Drive plays exactly like a dream/nightmare. Just like dreams you don't remember every single part of the movie just moments and images that are burned into your subconscious. I will always associate Mulholland Drive with the Winkies Scene. Apparently the "bum" was played by a woman and seeing her without make up...she still looks FREAKY!
I've seen this movie several times and I've never been able to figure out what the big deal about this scene is. AT BEST its a jump-scare, pretty lame for something billed as a highbrow pyschological thriller.
yesterday we were on shrooms, and at the end we decided to watch this movie. and oh my god. this whole scene creeped me the fuck out. still this movie is insanely beautifull
What's the guys name? I find almost all the 'in between parts' of this movie boring, except for this one. I think he acts so good. I've been trying to find out what he's called, his face seems familiar to me. Anyone?
It's connected to the film because it can be interpreted that many things in the film are seen in a dream. For instance, Diane constructs Betty in her dream. She dreams that she is this successful, ambitious girl who is going to make it in Hollywood. Also, the creepy guy at the end has something to do with the dreams because he is seen again with the blue box. Diane also sees the young guy with the dark hair when she is talking to the hit man. Finally, the Winkies restaurant is in other scenes.
the whole time watching this I was expecting something like terrifying, and while watching this someone signed out of yahoo and it made that "tss" sound and I like jumped. Then someone signed in and it "tss"ed again, and I jumped. but when the guy peek-a-booed form behind the dumpster, I didn't even flinch.
Lynch can create scary scenes in broad daylight, on busy streets - very rare. Excellent.

the rational mind is saying, "Come on, how badly can this end, REALLY? I mean, how BAD can it possibly be?", and even as the awful dread builds inexorably, that thought anchors you.
as it turns out, it ends horribly, and the shock is intensified immeasurably by how unexpected and weird it is.

That's exactly it. We're so used to these kinds of scenes in horror movies, but the fact that this guy built this thing up so much in his head, and actually saw it makes it terrifying. There's no tricks here, the thing exists and we expect to be surprised with something we hadn't considered, but the surprised is that there is no surprise. SPOILERS --- I really wasn't expecting to see it again later on, and it was still scary as hell.

this wasn't the only scary scene in this film, infact imo this was the least scary bit, the scariest bit is when the 2 girls enter that house with the number 17, and they find that girl by the bed. i never understood this film anyway, i just assumed it was about 2 LCD abuising lesbiens, and the plot was like pulpfiction you just had to swap the 2 main characters about all the time

Most all of Horror movies are just forgettable schtick that is nothing more than mindless entertainment. Lynch's take on horror on fear is very real and very fucking effective to the mind.

The joke is that David Lynch probably had no idea he was frightening people here. The guy is just such a brillant director.

have anyone here watched lynch's newest movie "Inland Empire?"
near the end there's a scene much more scary than this.
you can search "inland empire the phantom" to see it. its the first clip.
its so great :D

scary for smart folks. so much of this is mental. Lynch can conjure a feeling of dread where it seems completely misplaced. you know that going in. but whoever said the woman isn't scary is dead wrong, even if they're right about the build-up. you're thinking, WTF! how bad can this possibly be, whatever may be back there?!!! it's pretty bad, folks.

Mulholland Drive plays exactly like a dream/nightmare. Just like dreams you don't remember every single part of the movie just moments and images that are burned into your subconscious. I will always associate Mulholland Drive with the Winkies Scene. Apparently the "bum" was played by a woman and seeing her without make up...she still looks FREAKY!

I've seen this movie several times and I've never been able to figure out what the big deal about this scene is. AT BEST its a jump-scare, pretty lame for something billed as a highbrow pyschological thriller.

It isn't the woman who is scary, it's the suspense leading up to it that makes this a legendary scene.

It's connected to the film because it can be interpreted that many things in the film are seen in a dream. For instance, Diane constructs Betty in her dream. She dreams that she is this successful, ambitious girl who is going to make it in Hollywood. Also, the creepy guy at the end has something to do with the dreams because he is seen again with the blue box. Diane also sees the young guy with the dark hair when she is talking to the hit man. Finally, the Winkies restaurant is in other scenes.

Then someone signed in and it "tss"ed again, and I jumped. but when the guy peek-a-booed form behind the dumpster, I didn't even flinch.
