the purple rise . be a fantasy or romance movie by woody allen where a character from a movie fall in love with a real woman and step of the screen start a love affair with her . this begin to be a problem when the real guy who play the character in the film confront his persona and demand that he return to the movie and everyone resume their real life where movie character be fictional and people be real . there more to it but this be essential . in ie lynch put forward the following basic idea that structure the whole movie and make it have a meaning represent what would happen if the character in a film start assume a real identity interfere with the real people . what if and add to this and those character be only remake of character from an old film that be never finish because the actor be kill . in my opinion this be what the curse meant and that the fictional becomes real . this theme can be associate with mullholand dr. and the idea of illusion . cinema be just an illusion and you can not actually play it real when it get real because it ( cinema ) never get real . the character in bergman persona ( reference in m dr ) stop talk because she feel the pointlessness of act and that it never solve any real and life problem . i think the character in ie be on the one hand the so called real nikki and kingsley etc who make on high in blue tomorrow and the fictional sue and billy etc who be in the film and the polish counterpart from the 47 unfinished movie . all of them be try to find the passage that will give them their tomorrow and their sense of be in time and space . because the film be curse and never finish the character have a truncate identity . just like the guy that come down from the screen in allen movie have no idea you need key to drive a car and the character in ie have no idea that they sometimes play in a movie that be not theirs and have other rule . this be why sometimes they be bewilder that another character be there and in their movie . the confusion maybe never really stops and though i think the lose girl character may be the only real character because she be the only one watch what all the others play and she be the only one who play it for real . her family reunion at the end may be also real and maybe her watch those movie on the screen be just a way to refuse to deal with real life problem and just a the girl from the purple rise . the rabbit be a metaphor of entrapment give the fact they be only film from one perspective ( in the series ) . in ie the perspective change only once towards the end and it mean that the character be start to find their way through the passage and through the rabbit hole and if you like and and maybe be get somewhere . it may be that give the film be curse there be no actual solution for none of the character and they be mean to lurk in this disjoint world devoid of yesterday and tomorrow and causality and agency . action have consequence only in real life not in a movie that a we know be film during five year ( i think lynch us self irony in ie ) . the first scene lynch film be the one with the polish actor come out of the house with a light bulb in his mouth . no movie be film in a linear manner and it may start with the end . but if the polish movie be abandon and assume the hypothesis of the reality of it character just think how emotionally and cognitively frustrate they must feel not know why their god the screenwriter make them a they be . their action have no consequence and a movie character can die today because the director film the last shot of the movie and he or she can happily make love the other day when another shot be film . lynch know very well cinema can play trick . don while t loose hope and no hay banda but there be a passage to get there . over the rainbow .
