just to make sure i got this right, i am providing the argument that rita is the combination of the neighbor and camilla, and what is your argument again?
We are working on the same argument, you are showing that rita is the combined idealized loss- that she embodies the idealized lover, and the enemy that stole her role. I am taking apart the scene just prior to the suicide to show the elements that make that into the seed for the whole movie. What she sees moments before her death, that creates the dream.
i am going to focus on the scene when camilla gets the job and the scene when the neighbor comes over to get the dishes. i am going to use those two scenes to show that rita is the combination of camilla and the ex lover. i dont know how you wanted to start but i dont have a problem starting and explaining that even though mullholland dr. has a million ways to be interpreted, we think we have found the true events in the film. we could probably both takes parts of that and explain.
True, not true, I don't know about that. I think we certainly have a valid argument. We are looking at the same scenes. Let's work on that outline by email.

So, Tim, from our discussion of the film in the last class, am I working in the right direction:
Our thesis is that the entire movie spins out from the apartment scene where Diane meets her roommate(?) and gives her her dishes. Correct?
yeah. the only true events were seeing the ex, losing an acting job to camilla, and killing herself.
