2. This is not original, but refers to many theories of external networks.
3. There are still many questions that have not been resolved, and I look forward to the guidance of the great god.
As a person who likes "Twin Peaks" (but not a Lynch fan, nor a fan of "Twin Peaks"), the return of "Twin Peaks" is something worth looking forward to. After "Twin Peaks: The Return" (Twin Peaks: The Return) was released, I also chased the show for the first time. When I watched it, I was confused and even broke after watching the last episode. I believe this is also the personal experience of many moviegoers.
In order to understand what "Shuangfeng: Return" was talking about, I went back to watch the first and second seasons of "Shuangfeng", and also "Shuangfeng: Walking with Fire", and then watched "Shuangfeng" again. Peak: Return. Basically, there are few TV series that can make people do this kind of thing (you will find that compared with the return season, the first two seasons are actually much easier to understand). For those who like the world of "Twin Peaks" and trying to understand "Twin Peaks: Return", I still strongly recommend to look back at the first two seasons and also "Walk with Fire", because the first two episodes and "Walk with Fire" "There is an inextricable connection with "Shuangfeng: Return", and sometimes this connection is very critical.
Especially in "Walking with Fire", Phillip Jeffries appeared for the first time, and the term Judy appeared for the first time. Among them, Phillip Jeffries was the key figure in "Return" (played by David Bowie), although in "Return" he was based on A big teapot appears, but he is one of the key figures driving the plot.
Also, Major Briggs in the first two seasons was also the most critical role in "Return", and in the first two seasons, Cooper had been using a tape recorder to leave a message to his secretary (?) Diana. In "Return", this mysterious Diana finally showed up.
Also, many of the characters in the first two seasons: Norma, Ed, Nadine, Shelly, Briggs, James, Jacoby, Ben Horne, Jerry Horne, Audrey Horne (one of the most interesting characters), Doctor Jocoby are all in "Return Appeared in ". If you don't look back at the first two seasons, you probably don't know why these characters deserve your attention. These characters may not be related to the main line of the new drama, but this is part of the nostalgia and a branch line of the story of Shuangfeng. We have reason to think that Lynch can't put down "Twin Peaks". One of the reasons is that he has created too many characters that the audience loves or cares about.
It is worth noting that the style of "Return" is different from the previous two seasons. Although there is no lack of weird and funny elements, the new drama is more serious and more gloomy. In fact, most of the plot did not take place in Shuangfeng Town.
OK, after reading the above gossip, we started to talk about the main line of Shuangfeng. After watching the ending, I believe many people also feel a serious collapse. When Cooper said that he was 100% awake, we looked forward to the final resolution of this story, good over evil, Cooper and Annie (Audrey? Diana?) lived happily together, or moved to Twin Peaks Town, everyone is very happy. At the beginning, the plot seemed to follow this routine. Good Cooper rushed to the Shuangfeng Town Police Station, and the bad Cooper was trapped in Fireman's cage and went to the Shuangfeng Town Police Station. The bad Cooper was killed by Lucy with a single shot, and the BOB who possessed the bad Cooper also appeared. Later, the British guy that Fireman found opened the cells and arrived in time with James and Naido (eyeless mute women). After realizing his mission, he killed BOB in one fell swoop.
Then... everything fell apart.
After Cooper saw Naido, he showed a surprised expression, and then the surprised expression turned into a big background. It seems that Cooper seems to be out of this world, watching the following plot happen. The following plot is like this: Cooper saw Naido become Diana, he said to Briggs, "Your father had expected this to happen today." He asked Frank for the key to Room 315, this time. Time is still at 2:53, or it is hovering at this time.
Then, the whole world began to turn into darkness, Cooper called Gordon, and Gordon responded.
Cooper's surprised face is still the background. Three people came from the darkness, Cooper, Gordon and Diana. The three people arrived at the boiler room of the Great North Hotel(?), Cooper opened the door with the key and said that he could only do the following things. "See you at the curtain call" (See you at the curtain call). After entering the door, Cooper saw MIKE. MIKE took him to meet Phillip Jeffries. Cooper reported the year, month and day of the night Laura was killed, and Phillip Jerries sent him to that specific time.
Cooper met Laura in the woods and told her, "Go home", and then he took Laura through the woods. At this time, two events occurred: One is a certain day in the future (the time when the first season of "Twin Peaks" begins), when Peter comes out of the house, there is no Laura's body under the rocks by the lake, that is, the past The story has been rewritten; one is Laura's home (should it be that night?), Sarah began to frantically destroy Laura's photos (the action keeps replaying, and the photos seem indestructible). However, Laura disappeared suddenly and screamed.
Cooper enters the Red Room again (?), which is different from the repetition of the original Red Room plot. (There is still a question, maybe Cooper is not entering again, but the past history has been rewritten?). Coming out of the Red Room, Cooper met Diana. The two drove 430 miles to another world. Drive to the hotel and have sex in pain. Diana left, leaving a note. But the note was given to Richard by Linda. Cooper drove to Eat at Judy's and got the address of another waitress. See another waitress. She looks the same as Laura Palmer, but says that her name is Carrie Page. Cooper took Carrie Page to Sarah's house. Inside was another person, who didn't know Sarah. Cooper and Carrie are leaving. Cooper said confusedly, "What year is this?" Sarah called Laura from the room. Carrie seemed to think of something and shouted. The house glowed and dimmed. . . The story is over.
WTF?
...
At first glance, this is a desperate ending. Cooper seems to have failed. He did not save Laura, and the thing to bring Laura home was not done. Or, the pit buried for the fourth season? However, considering the age of Lynch and the age of most actors (in fact, some actors have died before and after the new play, including Log Lady, Albert), the fourth season is almost impossible. Could it be that Lynch deliberately cheated us? Not only did they fail to fill in the pits, but instead dug many new pits, and then let everyone guess, doubt, and come up with various theories? Could it be that after more than 20 years, Lynch is not only unwilling to end Shuangfeng, but instead wants to make it a story that never ends?
If you think so, there seems to be nothing wrong. Artists don’t need to care about other people’s feelings or tell a reasonable and complete story, right? However, for those of us who are constantly seeking explanations and seeking endings, this is too cruel. Perhaps, we can also think from another angle. Yes, Lynch’s story is full of strange turns, illogical dreams, and irrelevant plots, but behind all this, he also gave many clues and hints. He did not deliberately mess up the story, deliberately create unexplainable plots, on the contrary, Lynch's story is like a complicated puzzle. Even if you can't spell it completely, you can see some comprehensible pictures from the things you spell out, and as your understanding deepens, you can spell out more comprehensible pictures. Perhaps this is the true charm of Lynch's work. It seems chaotic, but it is logical; it seems inexplicable, but it makes sense. It just takes more time to think.
If we understand "Shuangfeng: Return" in this way, we can't say that Lynch is just cheating people and it is impossible to explain clearly. On the contrary, we should think about and analyze various clues, go to jigsaw puzzles, look for things behind metaphors, and understand the truth of the story. There is an article on the Internet "A Theory About Cooper, Laura, Diana and Judy" which gave me a lot of inspiration. This article believes that the final world was actually created by White Lodge with the purpose of killing Judy. Its basic theory is this:
Fireman and Cooper came up with a plan to kill Judy, and Laura is the key player in the plan. Laura was created by Fireman, but she is not a hero, but a tragic character. She needs to continue to suffer and accumulate enough energy to prepare for killing Judy. When Cooper returned to the past and took Laura home, the "home" that Cooper said was not Laura's home (why take her back to the source of pain?), but returned to "White Lodge", Laura's real home . Therefore, when Laura screamed, she actually returned to "White Lodge". At this time, Judy who was attached to Sarah became angry and kept piercing Laura's photos with glass, but Judy was already powerless. Cooper's first mission to rescue Laura is completed.
But this is not the real purpose of Cooper. His real purpose is to kill Judy. For this, he must enter the world created by White Lodge.
White Lodge created a world: the cage world (Laura's dream world), and then the identity of Laura Palmer became Carrie Page. Since she has lost her memory as Laura, Judy will not be attracted. Therefore, Cooper and Diana must come to this world and provoke Judy with painful sexual rituals. Afterwards, the cage world was closed to prepare for the killing of Judy. The next day, Diana forgot who she was and wrote a letter to Richard (Cooper) in the name of Linda, stating that it was all over. Cooper got out of the hotel and found that both the hotel and the car had changed. He found Carrie Page and took her to Sarah Palmer's house. It turned out that he thought Sarah Palmer could awaken Laura’s memory, but for some reason (Judy’s intervention?), Sarah did not live in 708. On the contrary, it was Alice Tremond who lived there. The previous resident was Mrs. Chalfonts (in fact , Tremond and Chalfont appeared in Twin Peaks and belonged to the creatures in Black Lodge). Finally, after hearing Sarah's voice calling herself, Laura seemed to regain her memory. One of her screams produced huge energy (similar to an atomic bomb explosion, or an overloaded circuit), destroying the entire world, including herself, Cooper, and Judy. After making a huge sacrifice, Judy was finally killed.
There are many judgments here, and I am not particularly convinced. There are some obvious loopholes: if Laura returns to White Lodge, why should she scream? We have already seen that when Andy was teleported to White Lodge, he simply disappeared (Of course, our inference is based on an assumption that Fireman lives in White Lodge. In fact, we don’t know what White Lodge is. Looks like. However, White Lodge stands for Shan, and when you are picked up by Shan, you shouldn't scream.) In addition, why did Cooper and Diana's painful sex attract Judy? Can Laura’s scream destroy the entire fantasy world? Many arguments are not convincing. However, this article points out a lot of core things, trying to construct a justified explanation (but in many cases, it seems that there is a suspicion of modifying or even filling in evidence for the sake of theory). Starting from this explanation, after rethinking, I think that the following inferences can be made:
1. The main line of "Twin Peaks: Return" is not BOB, but Judy.
2. At the end of "Twin Peaks: Return", Cooper's main task is to kill Judy or drive Judy away. (Is the task completed?)
3. The story of Shuangfeng is over.
First of all, about the first and second items.
Let's go back to the beginning of "Twin Peaks: Return". In fact, Lynch told us at the beginning what the main line of return is. In the beginning, the conversation between Fireman and Cooper. Fireman made Cooper remember: 430, Richard and Linda, two birds with one stone. First, 430 is the number of roads Cooper and Diana take before reaching the gate of another world; second, Richard and Linda are the identities of Cooper and Diana in the other world.
Next is two birds with one stone. After Tammy and Albert killed Diana’s tulpa (this tulpa was created by bad Cooper, what is the difference between tulpa and doppleganger, that’s another bunch of theories...), Gordon told Albert that there was something he did. Concealed for more than 20 years. This thing is: Colonel Briggs discovered an ancient creature named Jawday (it is explained that this means "explain" in Chinese.), an extremely negative energy. Colonel Briggs, Gordon, and Copper came up with a plan to find Judy. Cooper told Gordon that he wanted to kill two birds with one stone. This corresponds to Fireman's words, which confirms that what the opening two people said was the plan to kill Judy. The question is, what does two birds mean. To be sure, one of the birds killed Judy, but the other bird is difficult to determine (perhaps to save Laura?).
Secondly, on the third item. There are many hints in the play. Log Lady once hinted that everything was about to end. Cooper said before entering Room 315, "See you at the curtain call", which also hinted that the show was about to end.
In short, "Twin Peaks: Return" is to put an end to the world of Twin Peaks. When Cooper went back to the past and changed history, many of the stories in the first two seasons of "Twin Peaks" no longer exist, especially the part of Cooper. If Laura is not killed and Cooper has no reason to go to Twin Peaks, his story will be completely rewritten. (Cooper said in the police station that some things have to be changed, and the past determines the future.) Speaking of this, you may have a question: Didn't Cooper lose Laura? Did Judy interfere with Cooper's rescue plan and everything was restored? Laura was still killed in the carriage? And that scream is exactly Laura's cry?
In this regard, my inference is: Judy did interfere with Cooper, but she could not reset the whole world. If the world is still logical, Laura can't be in the carriage suddenly. At the beginning of "Return", Fireman once asked Cooper to listen to the voice, a voice over and over, and then said, "It's already in our room." If they were talking about Judy, then, this over and over again. The voice of Judy represents Judy. When Laura disappeared, this voice appeared again, combined with the screams that followed, my inference is: Laura was taken away by Judy. (Question: Why does Judy pay so much attention to Laura?)
So, where did Laura go? It should have gone to the world where Judy exists. In that world, Laura became Carrie Page and worked as a waitress at Eat at Judy's. This is probably a hint that Laura is now under Judy's control and has forgotten who she is. This was what Fireman and Cooper had long thought of, so Fireman gave Cooper a way to enter another world (parallel world?) (430 kilometers), and told him that he and Diana would become Richard and Linda. (Question, why does Diana forget who she is? And Cooper still remembers who she is?) Finally, remind Cooper not to forget the "two birds with one stone" plan.
Look at the following plot: Cooper arrives at Eat at Judy's, asks for the address of another waitress, and then finds Carrie Page... If you think about it, this is very strange, everything is too clear, too It's efficient. Cooper seems to know that Laura is another waitress at Eat at Judy's! And he must take Laura to meet Sarah Palmer. When Carrie Page made it clear that he was not Laura, Cooper still insisted that she was Laura and wanted to take her to see Sarah Palmer. Therefore, the "two birds with one stone" plan is: let Laura meet Sarah, let her remember the past (and then break out?)
I don't know, what is the rationale behind this plan. But it can be inferred that Carrie Page (Laura) seeing Sarah Palmer is the key. When Laura heard Sarah yelling out of herself, she suddenly let out a heart-piercing yell, and Palmer's house (No. 708) seemed to have an overloaded circuit and all the lights in the house went out. What does it mean? Judy was killed? Or Judy was expelled? The world is destroyed?
Can't guess...I want to believe that the online "A Theory About Cooper, Laura, Diana, and Judy" is right. Although it was a tragic ending, it was a suitable ending for our dear Cooper. In responsibility (Harry once said that Cooper is the best law enforcer he has ever seen) or guilt (Cooper once loved Caroline, his partner’s girlfriend. In one case, he was responsible for protecting Caroline, but emotional entanglements led to Driven by his negligence, Caroline was killed), Cooper insisted on defeating evil, even in the process, he had to sacrifice himself and even Diana... If this is the case, then, "Twin Peaks: Return" finally Not despair, but bitter sweet. "Be thinking of you, Coop," Gordon said. At this time, he might know that he would never see Cooper again.
Regardless of the ending, one thing is certain is that the past "Twin Peaks" is really over. 2:53, time stops and the story ends; perhaps, the story continues, but that has nothing to do with us. "We live inside a dream," Cooper said from the police station. If the story of "Two Peaks" is a Dream, then who is Dreamer?
Breaking the fourth wall, the Dreamer of "Twin Peaks" is Lynch, and the audience who dreams with Lynch. Twenty-five years later, Lynch personally put an end to Shuangfeng, and we should let go (however, What year is it and the subsequent shouting, how can people sleep at ease! Also, what is the situation with Audrey Horne? Ah, Lynch, you’re so faint...)
Next, I want to analyze the plot one by one, but typing is too tired, let’s talk about it later. (To be continued)
