Welcome to Part 5 in my 10 part series on the original works of David Lynch! These videos will discuss the themes of Lynch's original works, starting with Eraserhead and ending finally with Twin Peaks: The Return.
In this installment of The Postmodern Condition, we discuss the Twin Peaks prequel film, Fire Walk With Me. This installment has been split into 4 parts due to technical limitations. This video will include SPOILERS for Fire Walk With Me, the original Twin Peaks show, Twin Peaks: The Return, and there may be occasional spoilers for other Lynch films in the mix.
We return to Fire Walk With Me to discuss Garmonbozia and its relationship to America's history of colonization and industrialization, and then discuss the role that Laura Palmer plays in the series broadly and how her particular story as told in Fire Walk With Me is crucial to both the narrative and the broader themes of the series.

I love this series. I think your take is better than the guy who did twin peaks explained. I like your take way more. Can't wait for the return.

Back to Back Twin Peaks analyses, what a holiday treat! 🎅

@breve7585 2 года назад

your analysis is always so good, always tying the consistent themes and symbols together and clearly making your case for how they connect to societal factors. an absolute treat to get 2 FWWM vids this week, I'm excited for the rest of this series and especially when you get to the return! thanks

I must tell you that i am so impressed with this remarkable and deeply insightful analysis of the series & movie. Obviously you worked hard on this project. I hope that those within David Lynch's stratosphere take notice of your take and commend you. I honestly cannot wait to see how you make sense of THE RETURN as a cohesive narrative. Good luck =)

While I disagree with some of the approaches in that "Twin Peaks Explained (No Really)" video, I do think they're right in that the 'jade ring' is made of formica, and specifically carved out of the Formica table in the room above the convenience store. The Arm says in that scene 'this is a formica table, green is it's color', we see the camera pan over it and there is a hole/indentation by the Arm's left hand, about the right size for the 'gem' in the ring. There's a back-and-forth, then Bob says "I have the fury of my own momentum" and the Arm says "With this ring I thee wed". As formica is an material used in electric insulation, I think this fits well with the idea that the ring insulates the wearer from Bob.

@sarabrucker7847 2 года назад

I think both analyses are correct. Lynch & Frost are skilled enough to build a narrative with a kaleidoscopic or holographic structure where each part is echoed by other parts

@Mewobiba 2 года назад

@@sarabrucker7847 Oh, I definitely agree when it comes to the analysis at large. I don't think there's any conflict between Malmrose's analysis and the other one, really. But in the specific case of the ring, I think it's so strongly hinted in the show that it is specifically made from the formica table that it's worth noting it.

@sarabrucker7847 2 года назад

@@Mewobiba It’s true, it’s one of the few things said directly about it. That & the numbness & the finger placement are pretty much it

@vladimirsolovyov666 2 года назад

The ring signifies a wedding fantasy to me. Bob (Leland) wants to possess his daughter Laura but when she puts on the ring he cannot possess her (marriage would free her from her father) and he must kill her so that no one else can possess her. Laura, however, cannot indulge in the wedding fantasy with pleasure, because she has all kinds of objections to marriage, for example that by getting married she also loses her freedom. Formica was widely used in compact kitchens and on table tops in the fifties so that might imply her place as a married woman is in the kitchen

@thall77795 2 года назад

If the "Who is the dreamer?" question isn't answered metafictively, I don't understand how anyone can explain that scene in the Return. After Monica asks this question she looks off into the direction of a real art gallery that Lynch held an exhibit at. It then cuts to a past clip of Gordon Cole, the director of the FBI played by the director of the show. It's the director's dream. If the question isn't answered by way of metafiction, then boy is that a string of coincidences.

i love wild at heart, but wont make a video about it. it's an adaptation of a novel and the themes of the film are largely from the novel. it doesn't really fit in with the broader scope of this series im doing and i dont have much to say about it. love the Powermad cameo tho

Two different cultures, but the essence is one ... Harmonbosia in "Twin Peaks" 1990, USA and Gavvah in "Rose of the World" 1958, Gulag, USSR Gavvakh is a term originally introduced by Daniil Andreev and picked up by modern Russian neo-paganism, which implies the practice of its consumption by demonic creatures (for example, larvae as creatures of the Dark Navi world). Gavvah means "energy of pain" or "fine-material radiation of human suffering" and is an analogue of the nutrition of dark non-material entities, however, people (for example, sadists) who enjoy inflicting suffering on other beings can also practice Gavvah.

So is the heteronormativity ideal being subverted in the sex scene between Diane and Cooper - in which one is cold and the other desparing? Folks argue it's a sex magic ritual to enter another world but this is ignoring the fact they already 'crossed-over'. The notion one gets about Richard and Linda is that they are having an illicit affair - they've met in some motel on the outskirts of Odessa. Richard/Cooper is also absolutely uninterested in the law (as showcased by his handling of the cowboys and especially ignoring the corpse in Carrie's house). We know he thinks the world he is in is real though. This is made clear by him asking, 'What year is this?'

@MalmroseProjects 2 года назад

it's absolutely subverting the heteronormative ideal i mean it's literally like a hetero sex scene that seems obligatory, ambiguously consensual and creepy af. it like completely disrupts the heteronormative framework. i love that scene! ill probably be talking about it quite a bit when i get to the return, which will focus quite a bit on diane

@YourLoyalDeserter 2 года назад

It's not to enter another world, it's to tempt Judy into that world.

@juzujuzu4555 2 года назад

The sex magic is about getting Judy to come to that world, to trap her there. That is the theory. Like in the first episode when the guy who was watching the glass box, aka Manhattan project, had sex with the girl and it brought Judy there. Jack Parson was having sex magic on the desert before the Trinity test to get birth to some sort of antichrist. Frost's books have a lot about Jack Parson. And we see Judy first time chronologically when the atomic bomb explodes. Also it's metaphor of the "intercourse between two worlds" as it resulted the change of Diane to Linda ( why Cooper is still Cooper, or at least calls himself as Cooper is another story ) and it resulted the change of the world really. They traveled that 430 miles to get another world, but the sex also changed the hotel to become from the 50s style hotel to modern one, and the car changed from the 50s style car to modern car.

@YourLoyalDeserter 2 года назад

@@juzujuzu4555 I see it as Cooper being transported to an essentially random other hotel room where some random people had been before them. The Richard and Linda clue was the Fireman ensuring Cooper that this change is part of the plan.
