I believe it showed that the sheriff had come to terms with his mortality and the fact that he'll never truly know what happened to the money and sugar ( I know that's not how you spell it xP). So the sheriff was feeling just as you were at the end. That's how I see it, anyway.SteelStallion said:
I've become a really big fan deciphering confusing movies, so can't really relate to being confused by them, as much as intrigued and eventually satisfied with solving the puzzle. What I really like are movies that fuck with your mind without you even knowing it. You're not confused at all because the plot is simple enough to follow, but then you go back and watch it again to find all these layers that you didn't realize were there.
Good examples are Adaptation (you're watching the movie itself being written, but then you're not, but then again you are), Rope (it's about murder, but really it's about homosexuality), any given Stanley Kubrick movie (his scripts, shot compositions and set design are filled with symbolism that open dual narratives - the Shining's really about white man stealing the natives' land in America, even though the book had nothing to do with it, Full Metal Jacket's about sexual brainwashing, even though the book had nothing to do with it, and Space Odyssey 2001 can be interpreted in too many ways to count... etc, etc).
What confuses me is how big budget CGI shitfests get made and people accept it, or how good franchises go bad, or how good video games get turned into bad movies (Hitman could have been sooooo good, but they ignored everything that made the games great).
P.S. Watchmen - read the book first, loved it, liked the movie's ending better.

Memento, Inception, and Matrix (the first time I watched it) there were a few others but I can't think of them at the time being...All very amazing movies
Haha, i know It's Tommy Wiseau. He directed it, produced it, and starred in it. After realising how horrible everyone thought it was, he tried to market it as a parody.zHellas said:No. That's So Bad It's Fucking Horrible.michael_sturtridge92 said:
Really... But Tommy Wiseau's(the guy on the poster) acting is pretty funny.
Oddly enough, it has a cult following, and is shown in selected theatres every now and then.
His acting his hilarious, though. I don't know how it's possible to get the pacing and diction of a line so completely and utterly WRONG.
It is confusing, in the sense that he actually thought it might achieve something.
The main character is jealous of his wife's beauty and upset with himself that he can't make her happy (has terrible conversations with her, is terrible in bed), he kills her, then blanks it out of his memory ("I don't have a camera because I want to remember things the way I like it" - or something). He gets caught and goes to prison.Frequen-Z said:
Part 2: in prison he goes mad trying to escape remembering he killed his wife, he dreams up another life as a younger guy (starting all over), but as time goes by he gets constant reminders of reality (i.e. jazz music on the radio gives him a headache), his wife appears in this life, he tries to keep her, but she reminds him again he can't, eventually reality breaks through and he turns to his old self again and the new life shatters before him and he's back to zero.
At least that's how I recall it (been a few years since I watched it). I studied it in film class.
However, I don't know what Lynch's other film, Mulholland Drive, is about.
