Sorry, Donnie, but this is the girl.
I really do love both films... but I'll take Silencio over a menacing silent bunny every day of the week --- and if I need bunnies I can always dive back into Inland Empire.
Mulholland Drive vs Mulholland Drive for twelve year olds.
Mulholland Drive is the intoxicating, phantasmagoric fever dream of a once-in-a-lifetime genius. Donnie Darko aspires to be that. It certainly resonated with me heavily as a teen, but I think I would need a gooey time space wormhole to remember exactly why.
Mulholland Drive is commonly named the greatest film of all time in top 100 articles, which is why I ask how DARE you pitch it against my greatest film of all time; Donnie Darko is a perfect film that understands the impossibility of time travel, which no other time travel film seems to grasp, and every time I watch it I question everything I thought I knew. But Mulholland Dr will walk away with this in a heartbeat.
This is a good match up of two popular surrealist works. However, the major difference between them is that Donnie Darko doesn’t add up and only masquerades as an intelligent film. It’s as if David Lynch let Richard Kelly play with his crayons for a while only to end up with a piece work better crumpled up and put in the bin while Lynch’s masterwork was pinned to the fridge for all to appreciate.
Donnie Darko has a special place in my heart, not least because it was one of the gateways that led me to discovering one of my favourite ever films.
If you want a clue as to what that particular film is called, it rhymes with Schmullschmolland Schmive.
As much as I appreciate this David Lynch Classic, the film that holds up... the one I grab out of my Blu-ray library would quicker be Donnie Darko. It holds up better and is more surreal when compared to Mulholland Dr. Give me Frank any day!
I will always remember 3 things about Mulholland Dr: being introduced to the brilliance of Naomi Watts; being utterly blown away by how magically evocative the Club Silencio scene is and how effective it is as a demonstration of the fundamental nature of narrative fiction in general and moviemaking specifically; realizing in the middle of an argument about the film in a class in college that it's actually impossible to say that any part of the film is true, you can only say that one half is a good dream and the other half is a nightmare. I do not remember anything about Donnie Darko as vividly as those 3 things. Mulholland Dr in a walk.
This is a mean, nasty little one. But David Lynch's masterpiece will not lose this.
I just don’t think Donnie Darko has aged well. All I can think of is the guy I saw at a concert circa 2002 that had Donnie’s numbers tattooed on his forearm. I’m betting he regrets that.
Oh no... I'm beginning to doubt my commitment to Sparkle Motion...
