No Longer Your Film: The Shadow Hollywood of Mulholland Drive

This post is a part of the Movies About Movies Blog-a-Thon, hosted by goatdogblog.

[Note: This essay contains spoilers. It assumes a basic familiarity with interpretive approaches to Mulholland Drive, particularly the “Classical” reading. See the Lost on Mulholland Drive clearinghouse and the vital Salon piece, “Everything You Were Afraid to Ask About Mulholland Drive”.]

Although Inland Empire comprises the most direct examination of movie-making (and -watching) in David Lynch’s filmography, Mulholland Drive has always struck me as offering a slier, more cutting indictment of Hollywood and the mythology that clings to it. One of the most intriguing demonstrations of this impulse is MD’s depiction–via an actress’ guilty fever dreams–of the studio film-making apparatus as a rotten entity riddled with conspiratorial forces. Within Diane Selwyn’s schizophrenic fantasy, strange men move to quash the ambitions of promising actors and rebellious directors, their motives hazy but always sinister. Wracked with despair over her own professional and personal failings, Diane gives a dread life to our collective paranoia about the film industry. The shadow Hollywood she summons is by all appearances occupied not with high art or even vulgar entertainment, but with control over messages, money, and especially lives.

Not Archeology: The Moral “Super-Plot” of Indiana Jones

[This post is a part of the Indiana Jones Blog-a-Thon, hosted by Ali Arikan’s Cerebral Mastication.]

One aspect of the Indiana Jones series that has always intrigued me is the way that the filmmakers link the episodes together without utilizing the cause and effect of conventional plotting. When making three (or four) films about the same character, the filmmakers could presumably connect the events of the films together directly, such that an audience will be compelled to return to the series to find out “what happens”. Significantly, the Indiana Jones series doesn’t do this.
