Mulholland Drive is a 2001 film directed by David Lynch. This film is full of dreams and fantasies. My own understanding is that the first part of the film is only a dream of the real Diane Selwyn wherein she is dreaming that she is Betty Elms which is very charming, successful woman and wants to be a famous actress like Camilla. Those scenes are just fantasies of Diane Selwyn where she used Camilla to be Rita which is a fictional character.
The director used so many symbolism in the film that caused the audiences to roll their minds so they can get the story of the film. This is really a headache but a very good film, an amazing story and artistic narration.
The real story is that in the first part Camilla is already died, She was killed by Diane Selwyn who as hurt and deressed because of what Camilla did to her. She is really desperate to be with Camilla because she really loves her but because of so much depression, she made a decision to kill her and that situation leads her to a very miserable life. The cowboy only shows there for some symbolism which he said to Diane that it's time to wake up and the blue box was used to escape from the dreams and fantasies of Diane, it was used to get away in the illusions. The key also symbolizes the death of Diane because in the other part of the film, the cowboy told that if she already saw the key then it's the end. And the old man and woman symbolize as Diane's conscience and it leads her to death.
This is a film like no other, full of mysterious atmosphere. It contains conspiracy and intrigue. A love story of two woman but the director make it to the point that is very complicated by only giving clues and showing symbols for the people to think deeper and used their own perception on looking to the story.
A film so nice. A film you can't resist. A film that would give you a headache. A film full of symbolism. A film that would set your mind wider. Must watch!
