This movie is the main girl's (Naomi Watts) presuicidal mastabatory fantasy. Everything leading up to the last 20 minutes is the fantasy...then Lynch gives us what the film really is about. Hope this helps.

Yes it is a fantasy but I think we should explain the fantasy.

The fantasy isn't exactly "her" fantasy, it is but there is much more to it. In a plot sense it is but in a metaphorical sense it isn't. It's every aspiring actors/actresses dream of how Hollywood will be. You arrive, you are greated with a kind hand, you get an acting job right away and in the end, you get the girl. The entire first 1:30 (something like that, up until she hears the doorbell and she answers it in a shitty mood) is the fantasy, with everyone she has met integrated into her personal motion picture (her fantasy). David Lynch uses dream logic beautifully and it's very creepy (like the scene where an actor is in the coffee shop and walks into the back parking lot and sees the homeless man). Not only is this a brilliant film, it is also a very important film about how many lives get chewed up and spit out by Hollywood thinking that they will make it and be famous.

If you have any specific questions as to what was happening, just ask. I've done much research and thinking about this film.

Hope that helped a bit.

The blue box was the pathway between the fantasy and reality. The keeper of the box in the dream is the homeless man (who is supposed to represent all the people who have come to Hollywood with big dreams and get thrown in the gutter). The opera is there to show others how fake Hollywood truly is. Notice the trumpet player isn't actually playing. The reason Naomi Watts and Laura Heuring are there crying together is because NW wants LH to understand what Hollywood truly is. In NW's fantasy, LH understands and cries with her. In reality LH is a bitch who is caught up in herself more than anything else. The mob is there as a way for NW to make her fantasy seem more like a movie. There's cover ups, there's mobs, there's intrigue, there's sex, etc. The girl in the fantasy is NW, because she wanted everyone to think that she was the one for the job. In reality NW didn't get the job, it was this other girl who LH was also sleeping with.

Anyore questions? I'd be happy to answer them.

*SPOILERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!*
What were the swing dancing sillhouettes at the beggining for? And what were the two old people representing, especially in the end when they drive Watts to suicide?
I pretty much figured out the rest on my own, it was just those two things that I wasn't sure about. Is the swing thing just about desire, or wanting to be desired? If I remember correctly, the sequence ends with Watts shining through almost like a beauty queen.
And do you have an interpretation of Lost Highway? I think I got it, but I'm still pretty confused.
Thanks.

The beginning dancing was Naomi Watts' dance class that she won, the reason that she decides to go to hollywood. The two old people are her grandparents and she felt as though she let them down. I'm still working on Lost Highway.
