The key to understanding Mulholland drive:
Spoiler: Everything that happens up to when Betty opens up the mysterious box is an elaborate dream sequence/fantasy in which she reorders her messed up life to fit her desire for how she wants it to be. Everything after that is real.
Betty comes to Hollywood after winning a dance competition. She meets, falls in love with, and has an affair with Camilla. Her career tanks, while Camilla's soars. Camilla beats her out for a movie role they both wanted, and soon Camilla leaves her for the director of the movie. In a fit of jealousy, Betty hires a hitman to kill Camilla. When she comes home one afternoon to find the key on her living room table, she knows that the deed is done, and has a psychotic break, which leads her to the fantasy/dream we see in the first hour and a half of the movie, with people from her real life recast into parts for her fantasy. The guilt eventually overwhelms her, and she kills herself.
