that Lynch was re-cycling stuff out of Blue Velvet with that scene and kind of making a joke. The woman is singing Roy Orbison's "Crying" in Spanish (at least I thought she was); wasn't it "Candyman" in Blue Velvet. I saw that so long ago I can hardly remember and Eraserhead I must have seen about 20 years ago so have very little recollection of that. I kind of liked Mulholland Drive, but got pretty lost in the last half hour. What's going on from the point when the blonde babe wakes up as Diane? Can someone give me an interpretation of this?
Follow Ups:
Diane has a fractured psyche, mainly because she just succeeded in arranging the murder of her lover, Rita? The problem is that she really did love her and yet her jealousy, both personal and professional got the best of her and...remember the blue key?The whole film takes place somewhere between death and the realization of death. In an illusory mental state/ place where anything can and does happen. Betty was another construct of Diane's self induced death throes. Her alter ego that embodies her (fatal) longings.
The character behind the coffee shop was the person of Death itself.
The happy couple were some fellow passengers on the way to whatever death brings.Much of literature, and indeed, our thinking deals with these concepts.
Yeah the soundtrack is pretty good too.
See you later
