Mulholland Drive

I recently watched Mulholland Drive for the first time. Since I'm at work right now, I can't really go into an analysis, as I don't have enough time. Okay, honestly, even if I had time, I wouldn't tackle it. There's just too much weirdness in there, and I don't know anything about film study anyway. I'll just leave you with this question:

Does David Lynch realize that he's making things that don't make any sense? I mean, does his work make sense to him? I wonder if I was to ask him, "Seriously, Mr. Lynch, what was with that random cowboy?" he would reply, "Oh, yeah, I just put him in there to f*ck with people." The same thing with the guy behind the dumpster. And the entire plot of the movie.

But I'm glad I watched it. I try to read/watch things that I think are (pop?) culturally relevant, or just complete mind jobs. I guess I'm a bit of a film sheep when it comes to award-winning films. But I'm okay with that. I think I need to be a little more careful of the Independent award winners though, because they are either on a different plane of existence than I am, or I'm just not getting the "message" with many of them.

I liked:
Amores perros
Y tu mama tambien

I did not like:
Bad education
Mulholland Drive
Volver

I guess working on my Spanish has led me to watch quite a few Independent films.

Even Gael Garcia Bernal (sp?) couldn't save Bad Education.

Okay, time to stall until 5 PM...
