Inland Empire: Interesting to say the least.

“In the future you will be dreaming.”
As I didn’t quite understand the movie, I understand this quote to be important but to whether or not I have the right connotation as to what the quote means is up to the experts or David Lynch himself. The whole movie deals with the old Polish lady, room 47 with the rabbits and the movie Blues of Tomorrow. The reoccurring themes in this movie deal with time and dreams. With what I put together, I think that the movie tells us to make good decisions and to be ourselves and face our fears or we will become someone else and live their life forever, like the Polish lady until she was saved. “In the future you will be dreaming” has to deal with what your dreams will be like in the future, depending upon the present and the future. If you aren’t yourself, your sense of time blurs and all seems forgotten but if you face your fear and find yourself, there will be No More Blue Tomorrows. In respect to the particular scene in which this quote is said by two prostitutes, I believe that it has something to do with the many lines in the movie that said something to the extent, In the future you will see us and ask if we’ve seen you before. The prostitutes ask this of Nikki because they know that she is will not be herself so when they ask her, they will not know her because she is hiding behind her character Sue. In regards to my own life, I think that this movie tells me to make wise decisions and to always be true to yourself because you never know what the future holds and you don’t want to dream about your past later.
