*fucking brilliant
Distills what’s best about the TV series into a darker, harder-to-take 2+ hours. When are they going to get around to releasing that “lost footage”?
Here's the deal: Laura Palmer was a more interesting ghost than person. I was disappointed very few of my favorite characters showed up in the movie. Still, I did fall under its hypnotic spell after the messy first half. But I wish it had brought more conclusion to the characters I cared about. I know Lynch isn't one for resolution, but I don't feel I can ever leave Twin Peaks. Plus, the movie needed more humor.
I read somewhere that some Twin Peaks fans were disappointed with this movie and that it's more of a Lynch-work than a TP-work. I agree. It is definitely divergent from the TV show but fear not because it still offers: Kyle MacLachlan and insight into the lives of the characters. It was brilliant and torturous but the fashion really, really let me down. Shelly would never have worn those jeans in TP! RIP Laura<3
O clima noir-surrealista do começo do filme me encantou. O resto nem tanto, talvez eu tenha que ver a série.
Tragic, shame that the original Donna didn't star in this one. It seems that everything Lynch touches turn into gold for me...?
The Log Lady: "When this kind of fire starts, it is very hard to put out. The tender boughs of innocence burn first, and the wind rises, and then all goodness is in jeopardy."
Great film that is misunderstood.... loved how dark, bizzare, and tragic it was.
I thought it was cool that he showed what happened before the series started but I was really hoping to see what happened after the huge cliff hanger when the show was cancelled.
I hate this movie. I wish I had never seen it. It is a horrible companion piece to the greatest television show ever. It was soul crushing for me to see everything I loved about it turned into exploitation. They should have ended after the first half.
It doesn't make a lot of sense unless you've watched the original show and even then it might not, but the film still manages to stand on its own as a truly unique creation. The world of twin peaks could almost pass for daytime soaps were it not for the touches of insanity. The music always stood out for me the most, along with the performances. I still suggest watching the tv show first.
l really liked the first thirty minutes, I'd have loved to watch the first story develop instead of the Laura Palmer one
I was amazed when I saw this, simply. Everything felt right, even if the whole angel-thing was corny. Oh, that's right. It's not corny. It's Lynch.
So relentlessly bizarre and unappealing, I think 'Fire Walk With Me' is going to be underrated and under-appreciated for all time. One of my personal favorites though.
I love how you cant hear shit in the nightclub scene. Why should we hear shit in a nightclub its a fucking nightclub
Appealing, probably as bizarre but not as fascinating as the television series. It sheds some light on the background story of Palmer, the methods of Cooper, and keeps enough balance on the traditional eeriness Lynch usual delivers. Lynch portrays an amusing Gordon Cole; this might seem blasphemous and/or nonsensical, but I did sense a bit of Jimmy Stewart there.
While its a good movie on its own, it fails at adding to the Twin Peaks storyline(except for some resolution about a prominent charcter) and for thats its a disappointment. It also suffers from a overwhelming bleakness that while present at points in the TP series, is over done here(the series's humor is also gone)
I'm sure this could be genuinley amazing if it weren't for: the monkey, the dancing girl, the angel, David Bowie, Sheryl Lee's wig, no Lara Flynn Boyle, the embarassing swearing, the fact that Bobby is a murderer, the obligatory appearnce of Kyle Maclachlan, Special Agent Chester Desmond, Kiefer Sutherland, the jumping man, the boy who isn't David Lynch's son, Ronnette Pulaski. And probably many more.
