Visible crew/equipment: The first time Naomi Watts character enters her bathroom (just before she finds Rita) pay attention to the small rectangular mirror in the lower left of the screen. You can see Watts pass the mirror then a second person, presumably the cameraman as no-one else is supposed to be there. (00:23:25)
Mulholland Drive (2001)
1 visible crew/equipment mistake
Directed by: David Lynch
Starring: Naomi Watts, Justin Theroux, Laura Harring, Ann Miller, Jeanne Bates, Dan Birnbaum
Factual error: After the hitman Joe shoots Ed in his office and is placing the gun in Ed's hand, it discharges and shoots a hole in the wall. The appearance of the wallpaper around the hole makes it look more like an exit hole than an entrance hole.
Question: Can somebody please explain to me everything that happened in Mulholland Drive? What is up with the bum behind the diner, the little people chasing Naomi Watts at the end, who is who, what is the key for? Ideally give a website reference which has a full answer, as a full answer will dominate this page.
Answer: Naomi Watts killed her lover, Laura Harring, rather than lose her to someone else. She felt such guilt, she created an alternate reality using everything and everyone she knew, to create a happy and peaceful world. But the real world was sneaking in and the key was to unlock her blocked memories.
