Jimmy Scott sings "Sycamore Trees" in the red room, from the Twin Peaks episode "Beyond Life and Death". www.amazon.com/Twin-Peaks-Ent... Not monetised, removed at request.
I thin the Black Lodge is my favorite depiction of hell in media, not fire and demons and people screaming but just so bizarre and incomprehensible and menacing. Like, its so disorienting you can never get a grip on anything to even attempt to be brave enough to try to deal with it.
No matter what situation he was in throughout the series, Dale Cooper always had something to say. The moment he enters the Black Lodge, though, he just stands there, paralyzed with fear. Amazing.
I actually view this scene as perfectly setting the stage for the climax of the og run. It happens early on in Cooper’s journey into the red room and conveys that some stuff is about to go down
Kyle Maclaughlin’s expression of terror and confusion gives me chills. This is somehow one of the most terrifying things I’ve seen while also being beautiful
This was more than just a TV Show. That final Season 2 episode was a work of art. And you really feel like being in Dale Cooper's shoes when you see everything unfolding in front of your eyes and ears.
To wait week to week and see what the Black Lodge manifests, then, Dale enters and this is the way it's introduced. The biggest OH S**T moment ever for me. Style. Eeriness. Nothing like it ever.
Easy to forget, with all its quirkiness and comedy, Twin Peaks has always been a tragedy built around the abuse and murder of a schoolgirl. So both times it ends, it ends with tragedy
this is one of the most iconic scenes from twin peaks. many things are up for debate in the world of twin peaks but this isn't. it is one of my absolute favorite scenes.
Little Jimmy Scott what a hauntingly beautiful, sadly underrated, artist. Could there be any other exquisite longing and soul in another humans voice? What a missed, loved & unmatchable Legend ✨
I've watched this show very recently, I finished this season + the movie Fire Walk With Me last night, I was up to 4 am watching it, that's how great it was for me. For all intents and purposes I do think this show is pure art, everything can be intepreted, there's hidden meanings here and there, I really love that. I admit though, the first season I felt lost up until the last few episodes and I thought it was all just an overrated 90s show but then it all picked up on the second season and my God... what a trip. I'm planning on watching the 3rd season but quite honestly I'm happy I didn't watch this as a kid, I'd be traumatized. All in all, Cooper is definitely a role model for me - I simply loved this character in all aspects and I never expected to have such a great opinion on an actor I only knew from his role in How I Met Your Mother as "The Captain", brilliant role nonetheless but I feel Dale Cooper is definitely the role of his lifetime. Can't really find the words to express how much I ended up loving this show.
His face. Cooper’s expression speaks for him in this scene. White as a sheet, written on his features an expression of horror mixed with a tinge of confusion. His widened eyes bursting at the moorings of his eyelids. He was unprepared for this. This is pure shock. This is pure terror. Never will he speak a word for 25 years… Gone to the Black Lodge with Dale Cooper. What year is it???
The shadow that the marble statue gives off, almost looks as though it’s a dark figure creeping towards dale. In the lodge you were faced with your true self and your spirit is tested. I don’t know too many men who can pass that test.😂
@@Jackp2003 That’s a hard question. If this scene doesn’t affect you in some way, in any way, there’s something wrong with you and yet, those of us who are affected by it, we struggle to put it into words. It’s something truly both wonderful and strange.
@@BCS1105 Yes, exactly, and I wasn’t saying I didn’t like it btw! I love it just as much as everyone else. Yeah, I can’t put it into words either, it’s all about the “feeling”.
@@Jackp2003 There's something terminal about it. It's the final. It's the back to the old evil, being trapped and sort of ensnared by it. The sax that comes on as the Man from another Place comes out of the curtains dancing is really haunting. The long dragged out season 2 that shifts the focus from Bob to Windom Earle really helps with this, because here Lynch really takes over again and they're back to the Lodge in a very grand and eerie style.
there's also something really creepy about Jimmy Scott in this, as Coop enters it sounds like an old woman singing, but when we can see the singer it's a man we've never seen before and that is sort of detached from the setting. He also doesn't sound in reverse like everyone else in the black lodge. this with the violently flickering lights really gives you the sense of something being really wrong
I don't think he was. If I recall correctly, he was called in on short notice, and had no idea what was going on. But he really appreciated Lynch's warmth and interest in his work, and had a good experience.
@seofon I foolishly didn't get around to checking oTwin Peaks until a year before the Return, but I did see this dude open up for and sing a few tunes with Bob Weir in '92. It was great.
I love this scene so much. It would’ve been great to see more of Maddy, Leland and Laura’s doppelgängers (although, if Judy is The Doppelgänger then technically we did get to see more of her) in The Return, it’s no surprise Coop retreated into a child-like, catatonic state after 25 years of falling through reality and running from the doppelgängers of people he couldn’t save, not to mention JUDY
Damn Lynch got ALWAYs that ONE surreal-trippyass scene with great music (or no music) like Lost highway creepy man scene / Mulholand Drive cowboy / Blue Velvet 'in dreams' scene, or / Wild at Heart , night driving scene
@@ihatenwo I disliked it tbh, literally falling asleep mid movie when watching online with some friends. As much as i love Lynch, it's just too much weirdness and confusion for sake of themselves, altho a few moments were certainly memorable (like creepy rabbits comedy show).
Inland Empire is my favorite David Lynch film. As the other person said, it is weird and confusing. But I think it is his film that best replicates a sequence of nightmares, it has the most fragmented psyche portrayed in any of his works, and the structure is insane and actually clever. Laura Dern’s performance is also excellent and I couldn’t imagine anyone doing it better. I recommend watching it in the dark with good TV and sound.
Her performance of Strange Fruit , alludes to lynching victims being strung from poplar trees and has a lot of similarities to this track in terms of cadence and tone. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Bn6DKuEleUg.html
Agent Cooper knows that every room he enters, no matter how disjointed, bizarre, or even ordinary it may seem, has some kind of significance. The one seems to confuse him to the point that he is rigidly silent and staring.
Always loved it so much. In every other situation Coop's had a plan or at least an idea of how to get out of a sticky situation. Not here, though - he's completely FUCKED.
I constantly have this moment stuck in my head from when I was younger. The finale of Twin Peaks burned it so deep into my head "this is the greatest show ever" I met my fiance introducing her to it
@@BIacklce i don’t agree, these are not the same types of mazes. If we could associate the Overlook hostel with liminal spaces, we could associate the Black Lodge with the Backrooms…
Paramount +. The original series and The Return got the 4K treatment along with an good amount of David Lynch movies including FWWM on streaming services.
