text: can anybody explain the movie "mullholland drive" to me?  it is one hell of a confusing movie to me.   i love this movie, though i can interpret it differently every time i see it.  basically, the whole movie is naomi watts dream, manifested by all the things she'd hoped to do and become and turning into a nightmare about the path she's taken in her waking life.   check the link the other answerer gave. i know this one won't win best because i only gave a short and vague explanation, but being as its one of my favorites, i couldn't resist throwing in my two cents.
