Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me

Not amazing as the TV show but it's a masterpiece in it's own way. "And for a long time you wouldn't feel anything and then, you'd burst into fire... forever. And the angels wouldn't help you, because they've all gone away." PALMER, Laura. ♥

this movie was everything i could've hoped for it to be. it presented laura as so much more of a human being, gave her a depth that truly adds volumes to her character. her scene with harold stands out to me, has me finding myself looking at him much more sympathetically than i had previously. it shifts the tone of his scenes, explains the way he acts, his protectiveness of lauras diary. the film also helps to paint leeland in a more tragic light, though his tragedy had never been thinly veiled. the meeting of man and monster, the supernatural metaphors for abuse, the man trapped forced to endure the things he is doing to someone he loves. twin peaks has always been an incredible series, but this film elevates things greatly. the focus on laura as a person rather than a plot device is monumental, and lynch really gets to bring his vision to life in an incredible way. i don't understand everything, but feelings are invoked and that is whats crucial. incredible.
