Muholland Drive.

Plot

After a car wreck on the winding Mulholland Drive renders a woman amnesic, she nand a perky Hollywood-hopeful search for clues and answers across Los Angeles in a twisting venture beyond dreams and reality. 


Intro

At the beginning of the opening title sequence we see men and women dancing, with black figures following them on the ground, there is also a bright purple background, then we a woman with a spot light shinning on her, which makes us think that we was among the dances and she has won some kind of compaction, this is the 'girl next door' character who is very common in a film noir, we know shes the 'girl next door' because shes a pretty, happy and cheerful character. From this scene we then go to a dark room which the camera seem to be panning up a bed then 'dives' in to the pillow, then we come out to a posh, fancy car driving very slowly up the windy road of Muholland drive, when we see who is in the car we can tell immediately that the woman in this car is a femme fatal as she has personal drivers also  shes in control of these men (which is a common component of a femme fatal, a femme fatal is also a very common character for a film noir) the femme fatal thinks shes in control of these men by saying when the car stops 'we don't stop here' she hasthe control until one of the men points a gun at her, then she cower's back scared, we quickly cut to two cars racing down the road then crashing in to the femme fatal's car,saving her from the inevitable death from the gun shot, after the crash we see the scene filled with smoke, but not with the film noir typical cigarette smoke, but the smoke from the cars, we then see a fire start from one of those cars.
