Doesn’t get much darker than those last 5 minutes. I just wanna leave it there for now and go curl up in a ball.

Was there another image that perfectly encapsulated the experience of living through 2017 than Charlene Yi dragging herself across a bar floor, slowly breaking down until she unleashes a primal scream that eventually fades into nothingness? Twin Peaks was less film or television, but moreso something born of alchemy. A tragedy written in a holy text that reshaped our conceptions of what cinema could be while circling back to the life of the girl whose death is where it all began. If Fire Walk With Me gave the cinematic dead girl a voice then the newest incarnation of Twin Peaks made her a deity. Despite all its grandiose moments, and there were many, Twin Peaks is the story of one…
greatest artistic accomplishment i've ever experienced. the final shot will haunt my memory from now until the day i die. words cannot explain this
"is it future or is it past?"
"we live inside a dream."
spending an eternity trying to fix what was broken. but was there ever a time when it wasn’t broken? where exactly are we now? are we even the same people anymore? genuinely think the final scene of this will haunt me forever.
What makes Lynch so fascinating is that he’s a conservative whose aesthetic tendencies (unerring empathy for/centering of his female characters, a proclivity for exploring dysphoric relationships between persons and their bodies/bodies and the world, and an affinity for the cynical epistemology of the noir) constantly undermine his nostalgic and otherwise regressive gestures. Nowhere is that more apparent than in The Return, a colossal moral reckoning with the willful failure of each and every available institution (cultural/political/social) to reckon with trauma. Lynch’s disillusionment with post-millennial America reaches back through time to point the finger not so much at modernity itself but at specifically American iconography and mythology, an inherited cultural history which enshrines the moral purity of dead women and creates…
“Through the darkness of future past
The magician longs to see
One chance out between two worlds
Fire walk with me.”
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, DON’T READ THIS IF YOU HAVEN’T SEEN “TWIN PEAKS: THE RETURN”
In the original run of Twin Peaks David Lynch and Mark Frost were never going to say who killed Laura Palmer. Only after pressure from executives at ABC did they reveal the murderer. Lynch called Laura Palmer’s death “the goose that laid the golden eggs” and when you look at the history of episodes that immediately happened after, it’s clear there’s no bullshit there. The ship was righted by the Season 2 finale and we were left with a cliffhanger that promised a…
And somewhere west of the phantom’s home remained the only shell of skin capable of remembering their wasteland. Burning a hole into the fabric of the past, the shell attempted to forget, but was met only with souvenirs of nostalgia that brought its efforts to a halt. Chilled by the frigid air, it wandered east across an expanse of drying land feeling the assault of the wind more powerfully than most days. Darkness crept out from beyond the clouds and stole away the residue of the light. Exhausted, the shell sunk into itself and fought the sounds and voices and vibrations that sought to keep it awake. Finally it slept and felt all things venomous at a distance, still, innocuous.…
Definitely going to have to process this for a bit. While on a literal sense, I have no idea what I just watched, I still think I felt the feeling that was intended, if that makes any sense. If anything, this gives me a lot to think about, and that always counts for a lot.
nothing bad to signal here. many people before me have written reviews about its greatness. it's enough.
Despite the fact that i didn't understand everything (which is pretty normal... i mean it's lynch guys) i just love getting lost in the world that our madman david created.
even if you can't logically understand the story, somehow it feels right, and wonderfully touching.
it's been exactly 2 months since i first started this show, it became part of me and it was an amazing experience.
The mood, the town of twin peaks, the music by badalamenti, the sycamore trees, the hoot of the owl, the log lady, major garland briggs, dale cooper,gordon cole,the fireman,the woodsman ( GOT A LIGHT ?) deputy…
Only David Lynch has the braveness and balls to realize his own unique artistic vision of an global popcultural phenomenon!
Just so happened to finish Twin Peaks on Twin Peaks day. Damn fine timing.
Amazing, quite frankly. I've never seen another show like this one. This show made me feel just about the entirety of the emotional spectrum and I adored every minute of it.
I'm in love. Have been meaning to watch this artistic landmark show for years and I'm so glad I finally decided to sit down and do it.
"I love you, sheriff Truman."
I can't believe they gave David Lynch money to make this. I can't believe this exists. I'm so glad it exists.
kinda ironic that i finsihed the show the same day cooper arrived at twin peaks.
