[QUOTE="Captain Howdy, post: 2019312, member: 24933"] Sorry, haven't checked the thread in a while. I think what confuses most people is the [I]structure[/I] of the movie, not what it's about. Do you know what a Moebius Strip is? I believe it is used in advanced math for something, not sure, but what it looks like is what's important. It is a ring with two surfaces that kind of wrap around each other. I attached a picture for some reference. But anyway, the structure of the movie is similar. Think of the plot to a normal movie as a flat strip of paper, and the plot of Lost Highway as a Moebius Strip. A lot of movies have circular plots (where you end up right back at the beginning), but Lost Highway is different because there are elements of the movie that overlap each other. The movie is confusing because you can only view it from one side. If you watch the movie again, keep the Moebius Strip in mind. Watch for little clues, as well as major plot twists (the motel scene is where the movie takes a big turn). It's hard to explain. :D Keep in mind that the whole Moebius Strip theory is only one explanation (I happen to think it's the best one), and though David Lynch never really gives away what his movies are about, he pretty much agreed that the Moebius Strip idea is accurate. As for what the movie is actually [I]about [/I], your guess is as good as mine. You just have to figure that out on your own. But at least when you watch the movie again, you will be way less confused because the structure will make sense, and the movie will be easy to follow. BTW, I have never understood a David Lynch movie the first time through. You really should give it a second chance. [/QUOTE]
