This movie was waaaay too confusing. So I suppose director David Lynch considered this a success. A friend and I watched it once, and we were transfixed... but then it ended and we were perplexed. We talked about it for a while, then started it again. We thought we would only watch it until the pieces fell together... but we watched the whole damn thing again! GRRRR... Well, I looked it up much later on the Internet and remember reading that even David Lynch didn't have all the details, as he was just trying to blow off some steam against Hollywood for not picking a show of his... or something to that effect. My head is spinning just recalling this.

70% of the film is a continuous dream sequence. the remainder of the film needs to be broken into two halves swapped and fixed back together on either side of the dream; when reassembled in this way the film makes "perfect" sense. lynch offered the clue "watch out for the ashtray". on my third viewing i noticed the ashtray and i haven't looked back since. note that when you have solved the mystery you you may lose some (not all) of the magic but fear not because Lynch has provided us with a new puzzle; Inland Empire. note that even after the third viewing (and having noticed the ashtray)i am unsure of who did what to whom and why, when and where. good luck!
