I agree with that interpretation of Naomi Watts' character. I guess the film to me is about disillusionment at the end of the day. Comparable to Lynch's Lost Highway, the dreams sort of become her escape from her harsh reality. I think I disagree with you that "dreams can't effect reality", a number of artists have use their dreams to create art, "dr jekyll and mr hyde" was based on a dream the authour had I heard. It funny how you say she can control her dream, because normally dreams are very abstract and uncontrollable, I guess there is a difference between a day dream, and a sleeping dream. Watts' character is probably experiencing a day dream I think in the first 2/3.<br />Anyway, thanks for stopping by and becoming a follower!

One of Lynch's best - having said that he seldom makes bad movies- even Dune(supposedly the only film he made he is not happy with) is fairly interesting to me.<br /> Yeah, its strange how Naomi Watts' career took off, while we don't see much of Laura Harring,I can't recall anything else she's done?Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09395044055566348346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1619249406686227577.post-80337563172574262372011-07-16T22:31:50.833-07:002011-07-16T22:31:50.833-07:00This was one hell of a film-viewing experience for...This was one hell of a film-viewing experience for me. The film's uniqueness and the director's audacity really stunned me.
