Journey Through Twin Peaks - Chapter 23 (Fire Walk With Me): The Spirit World

About | Information | History | Online | Facts | Discovery

1. MIKE is Mike and BOB is Bobby. It's gonna happen.
2. I adore these videos, there's so much thought and care put into them, especially when it's about one of my favourite movies. Sheryl Lee's performance as Laura still haunts me to this day.
3. A room above a convenience store(like Laura's bedroom)...reminds me of 1984 room above the charrington shop and the Laura Palmer train car death trial was her room 101with the ring representing 2+2=5...acceptance of rule by the Elite of the Lodge.
4. Man, that bit at 9:42 scared the crap out of me when I first saw it.
5. I love this idea -- "Fire Walk With Me suggests possession as partnership, rather than puppetry." I like the idea that BOB is just along for the ride, feeding off negative emotions (garmonbozia?) generated by Leland's actions. Like a spiritual parasite. I haven't read all the theories that are out there (yet-there's some TP books on my want list) so this may be an old idea.
6. So the ring is a totem representing trauma. Cooper tells her not to take the ring.
7. You didn't talk about the Jumping Man... Who the hell is he ??
8. I think it's safe to call The Man From Another Place MIKE, because that's what his name is in the original shooting script for Fire Walk With Me
9. Two small theories for consideration. I think Dear Meadow does more than show us a mirror image of Twin Peaks, it's also an image of what will happen to Twin Peaks if the creatures of the Black Lodge win. A place of concentrated pain and suffering. A Twin Peaks that failed.
   Second, I personally believe the Giant is the rest of MIKE, while the Man From Another Place is the evil aspect of himself that he severed and left in the Black Lodge.
10. are the tremonts evil?
11. 12:12 Absolutely heartbreaking. What a performance she gives in this film.
12. Hell-god-baby-damn-NO! I FAAAWWWND somethin'! haha
13. 3:22 - or is it because the black and the white lodge is one and the same?
14. so Cooper telling her to not take the ring proves he doesn't know what he's talking about because the ring is the key to Laura not being possessed by bob right?
15. Could the iconic peaks waterfall represent, in a geographical and/or metaphysical sense, 
    the very tear ducts of that entire region, perpetually weeping to relieve itself from 
    the pain and suffering which has always overshadowed this tragic yet beautiful town? Perhaps in the fullest meaning, might it refer to earth itself: a whole, wide world 
    of garmonbozia - as if our very reality was an immense theatre and factory for the staging 
    and brewing of garmonbozia. And as absurd as it seems, perhaps what to our eyes appears as a breathtaking waterfall is to the lodge residents a thunderous, mystical conveyor belt 
    of creamed corn. 
    I go back to Donna's classroom tears, Andy's sobbing over Laura, Sarah's grief-fuelled
    near-breakdown, James's simmering angst, Jacoby's weeping, Maddy's torment,
    Ronette's night-terrors, the sick & suffering Fat Trout folk, plus the operatic momentum of Leland's fury/loss - were these all courses in a grand feast of certain lodge spirits: spirits whose exact hue has long been ambiguous? And could the sheer unhinged climactic euphoria of Laura in the closing of FWWM be sustenance for another class of entities?
16. There is no new idea.
17. What kind of religious shit is this author want to show?  There are several teachings in this series that we don't know your extreme religious sub-titles. Can you let the rest of the people to think by htemselves? or do you need to manipulate forehand as always?  Keep your doomed prayers at church and let the rest of the people to think for themselves. This is a work of art, and its obscene to use it for your own purposes. Keep your fire within you, as always, and try to not rape little children close to church.
18. I want to go above and beyond here, but why are we assuming that Twin Peaks is part of the "real world" and Cooper the one who is dreaming, instead of him being the dreamt?
19. Your synopsis and explanation is beautiful, and 100% accurate. I knew nothing of Twin Peaks and saw this film. It floored me infinitely, and even after watching the series, and watching the film over and over, theres still something to experience in it. And your video reminds me why, explains to me what utterly enthralls me about this amazing film. Thanks.
20. I have to thank you for these videos sir
