Deceptive memories of split personality

In this movie, David Lynch bluntly blended the irrational language that can only survive in dreams directly into the movie's somewhat unbearable long shots. At the beginning, before the two detectives went to Shuangfeng Town to investigate the cause of Taresa's death, the inconsistent dialogue system and interpretation method determined the absurd and true tone of the story: this is a jump between dream and reality. Of the universe. The crazy girl in the red dress was interpreted by an apparently nonsense logic. The little piece of paper under the corpse’s nails, the psychic man’s prediction of Laura’s death, the little boy wearing a Pinocchio mask, made the story. There are more expansions, but it is clear that David Lynch can't control the influx of minutiae.
Back to the story itself. We can think of it as Laura's deceptive recollection of her miserable adolescence in a multiplayer format. This is a conjecture, this is a dramatic scene Laura choreographed in order to get rid of her painful past. In fact, Laura did not exist with her friend Dong Donna in the nightclub. She was just a self-disintegration of a good girl who endured her father's rape. The undiscovered corpse was shot to illustrate this point.
So, what is the real situation? From the end of the movie, Laura finally got rid of her father's entanglement, led a normal life, and got married: her husband was portrayed in her fantasy as the police officer who traced the cause of Terrasa's death. She began to confide in herself. She imagined that she had been killed, achieving a self-cleaning comfort effect: when her corpse went down the river, she also started a new life, the angel on the frame in the boudoir had escaped, There was a gleam in front of her, which was a hint that she had finally stayed away from the nightmare and was born into the flames. In the final analysis, this story is Laura's dream and conjecture.

    7.5 points, the image style is very unique, but this film feels more like a theatrical version than a movie. You have to finish the first two seasons of the TV series before you can understand the film. The movie should not be like this. I'm not a big fan of David Lynch, but I've seen movies like "Mulholland Drive" and "Twilight". Those movies are difficult to understand, but the fun is still there. Although the visual style of "Twin Peaks and Fire" is commendable, the viewing experience is really tiring.

    It's just filling in the hole, as a film is not qualified, mtc28 is not wrong; I can't understand the first 30 minutes, what is the role of Bowie? There are too many problems; Sheryl Lee's film has a lot of room for play, and the scale is not small. The acting is so real that I thought I was watching a B-level film of torture and murder; the new Donna is much stupider
