Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me (Pt. 1)

Hi everyone! Time to cry watching the best movie ever made!So first things first, we spend the first half hour following FBI agent CHET DESMOND as he investigates the Teresa Banks in Deer Meadow murder a year before Laura Palmer dies. He gets intro’d to the case by Gordon Cole via Dancing Clue Girl, and then the case swiftly goes nowhere as he is rebuffed by every resident of Deer Meadow, which seems to be like an anti-Twin Peaks. Then, when reaching for Teresa's special green ring under a trailer, he disappears!!!Around the same time, at the FBI field office in Philadelphia, Dale Cooper is looking at himself in the security camera because of an unsettling dream he had, when suddenly, “the long lost Phillip Jeffries” appears, played by David Bowie. He says:I'm not gonna talk about Judy. Now who do you think that is there?! (pointing to dale)I've been to one of their meetings. It was above a convenience store. We live inside a dream!and then disappears – or was never there? The scene is overlaid with a nightmarish sequence of “Lodge Entities”, seemingly above said convenience store, where the following things happen:Ms Tremond and her grandson are there. the grandson says “fell a victim” pointing at BOB.The Arm says “this is a formica table. green is its color” and “with this ring i thee wed”A guy in a weird mask jumps and says “electricity”Afterwards, Dale goes to the trailer park where “let's rock!” has been written on Desmond's car. He tells Albert that he's sure the killer will strike again, but knows not where or when. Heartbreaking smash cut to: TWIN PEAKS, ONE YEAR LATER. The intro song plays as Laura walks to school with Donna, does cocaine, and meets Bobby and James. She gives a heartbreaking speech to Donna about falling in space forever and the angels are all gone. She then finds pages ripped out from her secret diary, freaks out and gives the rest to Harold, who doesn't believe her about BOB and all that. She says BOB wants to be her and she has a flash of a scary possessed makeup face. While Laura is preparing to do meals on wheels, Ms Tremond (or Chalfont) and her grandson give her an ominous painting and a message that “the man behind the mask” is looking for her secret diary. She runs home in a panic, finds BOB in her room who snarls at her, then runs out in a panic. When she sees Leland emerge from the house, she realizes he might be BOB.That evening, Leland seems to punish Laura for this by tormenting her at dinner about being filthy and having to wash her hands. PART TWO of our Fire Walk With Me coverage will be out NEXT WEEK!⁂Support the show on Patreon for early access and exclusive movie discussion episodesFollow the show on BlueskyQuestions?
