Mulholland Drive is a movie that's more complicated than it initially appears to be and was a labor-heavy job for star Naomi Watts, who played two different characters in the film. The one that gained her entry to this list was struggling actress Betty Elms, who doesn't see herself as gay but nevertheless finds herself falling in love with a woman with a mysterious past. As the character wasn't gay when the film began, casting a heterosexual woman into the part may have made more sense here than it did with other movies we've discussed.
Watts has been with actor Liev Schreiber for fifteen years in real life. The other character she plays in the film, Diane, may also be gay; although this is never explicitly confirmed on screen. True to the style of director David Lynch, much of what happens in the film is open to interpretation, with no right or wrong answers.
Over the years, weve seen so many food trends come and go, such as ramen burgers, matcha, and spiked ice-cream. Nowadays, were seeing another trend making waves in the food industry. How many times today have you seen an Instagram photo of a scoop of black ice cream, or a cup of black yogurt, or hamburgers with black buns? Indeed, the charcoal trend has taken the world by storm.
So, what gives your latte that deep black shade? Activated charcoal, or coconut ash, is produced by heating coconut shells to insanely high temperatures until theyre burnt to a crisp. The ashes are then increased in size by steaming at high temperatures. Through this process, the ashes become a strong detoxifier, mostly because they become extra absorbent. This product may be purchased in pill form, and promises to alleviate hangovers, minimize the effects of food poisoning, and fight the visible signs of aging.
Activated charcoal is said to boost ones energy as a result of decreasing toxins in the body. However, no evidence proves that detoxifying can lead to increased energy. Also, while it can help cure a hangover, it doesnt necessarily remove alcohol from your blood. It is also said to aid in debloating your stomach because it cleanses your colon but again, this all anecdotal and isnt supported by scientific evidence as of yet. All we can say for sure is that it is a proven detoxifier.
