has blue roses and red velvet in "Twin Peaks", and red roses and blue velvet in "Blue Velvet". The two films are intertextual. To understand "Shuangfeng Town", you need to understand "Blue Velvet" first.
The movie "Blue Velvet" is a dream of actor Jeffrey from beginning to end. The dream starts with "Red Rose" and ends with "Red Rose".
Blonde college girl Sandy and black-haired singer Dorothy are the same person, Sandy’s police father and gang boss Frank are the same person, Sandy’s boyfriend Mike and Dorothy’s husband Don are the same person.
One represents reality and one represents dreams. Reality and dreams are mostly opposite. The film unfolds layer by layer through Jeffrey's five "explorations". The characters in reality and dream are intertwined, showing the duality of each character. The ears represent "secrets" and the blue velvet represents "patriarchy".
1. It is the first time to explore
Jeffrey to pursue Sandy, but Sandy has a boyfriend, and her father is a policeman, and he opposes her daughter to make a boyfriend.
Due to his unsatisfied desire, Jeffrey began to solve the case through an ear in his dream, hoping to explore Sandy's inner world. Through his ears, he suspected that the suspect was the neighbor bar singer Dorothy, and took the opportunity to sneak into her home. "Ears" represent some kind of channel that can listen to people's secrets and enter people's hearts.
Jeffrey's interest in Dorothy's "secrets" came from his feeling that Sandy was very mysterious and he wanted to explore her secrets. Dorothy's home is actually Sandy's home in reality. This time Sandy agreed to take his car to Lincoln Street (Lincoln Street where Jeffrey's family forbidden him to go, and the forbidden area in his dream is the place of secret exploration).
When he first explored the secrets, he went to her house to "exterminate insects" because he was just the son of a hardware store owner, and in the eyes of Sandy's father, he was no different from "insects." At the beginning of the film, Jeffrey's father suffered a stroke and was unable to speak. It represented Jeffrey's wish and gave a close-up of the bug in the grass.
two.
They came downstairs to Dorothy’s house for the second time . During the conversation, Jeffrey said that he thought Dorothy had a lot of secrets. Sandy said: I don’t know if you are a policeman (robin) or a voyeur (worm). ).
Jeffrey was hiding in the closet and was discovered by Dorothy. He took a knife and forced him out and expressed interest in him (he thought Sandy liked him). As a result, the gang boss Frank came back and he hid in the closet to peep. A bizarre sex between Frank and Dorothy. Frank's feelings for Dorothy are both father and son. This bisexuality is reflected in his lines. He shouted into Dorothy's vagina: Mom, I love you (son)! While scolding her as a bitch, he bit a piece of blue velvet (blue velvet represents patriarchy), beat her hard with his fist, and said: Dad is home! (Father).
Frank is Sandy's father. He shows absolute patriarchy to Sandy and hopes that she will be a good daughter. This "good daughter" image is the embodiment of his absolute patriarchy, and no one can violate it. When her daughter wanted to talk about her boyfriend, he kidnapped him (Doroth's husband Don).
After the gang boss left, Dorothy became helpless and mistaken Jeffrey for her husband Don (boyfriend Mike) and said: I'm so scared! (Want to break free)
Jeffrey wanted to help Dorothy, but Dorothy said: Hit me! (She enjoys this absolute patriarchy.)
Before leaving, Jeffrey found that Dorothy's blue velvet robe was missing a corner. (Doroth’s personality is incomplete)
three. For the third time,
Geoffrey and Sandy talked together. Geoffrey said a lot of speculations about the case, and said, why are there so many secrets in this world, and why are there people like Frank! But Sandy said, do I need to tell my dad? I think the world is very beautiful because there are robin (police father) who eat worms (Jeffrey).
Jeffrey came to Dorothy's house with unsatisfied desires. Dorothy said I was looking for you in the closet, I love you, don't leave me!
Jeffrey went to the bar to watch Dorothy sing "Blue Velvet" and found that Frank was watching with him, touching a piece of blue velvet in his hand. He followed Frank to a place. The next day, pictures of the man in yellow with Frank and the "beard man" drug dealing were taken.
4. The fourth exploration
Jeffrey kissed Sandy, but was pushed away. Sandy said: Don't be like this!
Desperate Jeffrey came to Dorothy's house, Dorothy took him to the bedroom and said: Do whatever you want! Jeffrey said I want to help you, I call the police! Dorothy sat up quickly with fright: Don't call the police! I want you to hurt me! (Let Geoffrey exercise his "patriarchy"), Geoffrey did, he beat Dorothy and had sex with him because Dorothy asked him to do so. After that, Dorothy said: I have been infected by you. (I want to fight against patriarchy)
Jeffrey was hit by Frank and put him in the car with Dorothy and came to their office. A gay sang the complete song "In a Dream":
People Call this candy-dressed clown the Sandman, sneak into my room every night, light up the stars and whisper: Sleep, everything will be fine. I closed my eyes and floated into the magic night. I whispered that a silent prayer had this dream. I enter the dream of having you
in my dream, in the dream I talk to you, in the dream I walk with you, in the dream you belong to me, and we are inseparable. In a dream, in a dream. . . .
At dawn, I woke up but you were gone. I can't cry myself, remembering the goodbye you said to me. It is a pity that all beautiful things can only be possessed in dreams, in beautiful dreams.
(This lyrics can be used as a commentary for most of David Lynch's movies)
They continued on the road and came to the wasteland. Frank told his men to play the song "In a Dream", and while beating Jeffrey, he said the lyrics: In a dream you belong to me, always belong to me, and there is eternity in a dream. He also stuffed a piece of blue velvet representing patriarchy in his mouth, indicating that Jeffrey was daydreaming about chasing his daughter.
five. The father-killer
Jeffrey gave the police father the photo of the drug dealer trade, but when he left, he threatened Sandy not to associate with him. Because the man in yellow is also a member of the bureau, he often comes to Sandy's house, and his father is also involved in the drug trade.
Sandy rebelled against patriarchy this time, and went to the dance party with Jeffrey, vomiting love each other. When she returned home, Dorothy was naked and beaten up and appeared in front of Sandy's house, saying: I am infected by you (against patriarchy). Jeffrey hurried to Dorothy's house to find the truth, and called Sandy to tell him the truth. Sandy hung up and cried: Where is my dream? (Previously, the dream of robins eating insects was broken, and the police also had corrupt elements). This set of interlaced shots further proves that Dorothy and Sandy are the same person.
Dorothy’s house, the scene of the crime was frozen, the man in yellow was shot, and the kidnapped Dorothy husband was cut off (to spy secrets), and the blue velvet representing patriarchy was stuffed in his mouth (you don’t have Right to speak), this may also be Jeffrey's fate. Jeffrey hid in the closet and saw the bearded man coming in. This man was Frank with make-up. While roaring, he wrapped the blue velvet representing patriarchy around his gun and killed the man in yellow. Finally he found Jeffrey. Hiding in the closet, when he pushed open the closet, he was shot headshot by Jeffrey, who was already ready.
Sandy broke in, followed by the police father. The light goes out (the light represents the secret of not seeing the light, so Frank always emphasizes to be darker). After solving the case, Jeffrey and Sandy kissed, his father did not stop behind, and Frank that Jeffrey killed was the "secret of the police father."
At the end of the film, the camera came out of the ear again. Sandy and Jeffrey were together, and their parents were also together. They were happy. The red rose at the beginning of the film reappears and the dream ends.
================================================== =====================
The film "Shuangfeng Town" is very similar to "Blue Velvet" in the overall structure, and the entry point for both is "Father" "Quan" and "crime" are just another layer of dreams in "Shuangfeng Town", and this layer is drawn by the demon Bob. The following content is the clue that integrates the "Shuangfeng Town 1-3 Seasons" and the "Shuangfeng Town" separate films together, in no particular order, because David Lynch's narrative is inherently staggered.
Like "Blue Velvet", "Twin Peaks" is a dream of FBI agent Cooper from beginning to end. This point was emphasized by Monica Bellucci in the third season. Agent Gordon played by David Lynch had a black-and-white dream. In the dream Bellucci said to him: We are all The person in the dream, the question is who is the dream maker? (Bellucci played "The Matrix"), and at the end of the film, the screen freezes on Cooper's face, forming a double image with the picture for a long time, just like Cooper is watching a dream.
Reality: Cooper is an FBI agent, and his girlfriend died in a murder, which keeps him in the dark about not getting out of this shadow. His girlfriend was the wife of his boss (teacher). He was killed by his boss. After the crime, his boss was considered to be insane and put in a mental hospital. In fact, he may be a serial murderer, but there has been no way to prove it.
Dreamland: Laura is Cooper's dead girlfriend. He goes to Shuangfeng Town to investigate the case, which is to investigate the real cause of his girlfriend's death. This Shuangfeng Town has picturesque scenery, simple and kind folk customs, a slow pace of life, the people are contented and caring for each other, the police station has no criminals to catch, and the air is filled with the sweet country flavor of doughnuts and black coffee. Contrary to the working environment of the FBI in reality, life in the real metropolis is fast-paced, air pollution, food are all fast food, everyone is irrelevant, and crimes are frequent. The FBI belongs to a high-pressure department and often Contact with perverted murderers.
The FBI coroner went to Shuangfeng Town. His fast-paced style of work is in sharp contrast with the leisurely work of the Shuangfeng Police Station. There are many jokes for this reason.
In the movie, Cooper used a lot of "divination" methods to judge the case, which is impossible in real life. Everything is possible in dreams, because dreams are desires. The movie is slowly and slowly, as in a dream, slowly and bizarrely. Through the investigation of Laura's death, after a whole season of foreshadowing, it was discovered that the murderer was his father Li Lan. The father commits a crime against his daughter. This is the main expression of the dream in "Blue Velvet": it represents "inviolable patriarchy", while Laura is Cooper’s ex-girlfriend in reality, and Li Lan is his husband (Cooper’s boss) ), Li Lan controls Laura "paternally", and Laura wants to escape because he has "secrets", she informs Cooper, and is finally killed by Li Lan. This entire plot is almost a re-enactment of "Blue Velvet".
In the movie version of "Twin Peaks", when Laura was dreaming, there was the body of Sister Cooper's girlfriend lying next to her, but she was wearing the clothes of her deceased girlfriend. In fact, they all represent one person: Cooper's deceased girlfriend.
Cooper didn't accept the fact that his teacher killed his girlfriend. He didn't believe this fact either. This is why he dreamed. So the demon Bob appeared in the dream. He thought his master was a good man, but he was manipulated by the devil. Cooper said: If there is Bob, will it make the facts easier to accept?
With the devil Bob, Cooper turned to investigate Bob. He wanted to get rid of this Bob, because removing the devil would prove that his boss was actually a "good guy". As the investigation progressed, he discovered that there are two gates of good and evil in Shuangfeng Town: the gate of the sun stands for good and the gate of night stands for evil. The demon Bob came from the gate of night.
In the dream, Cooper's teacher also appeared, manifesting as a neuropathy seeking a demon. At this time Cooper talked about a nun's girlfriend again. His teacher killed his girlfriend again in order to enter the gate of night (re-enacting the tragedy in reality), to prove that his master was really a devil-seeking neuropath rather than Bad guys. After the death of his girlfriend, Cooper was possessed by the demon Bob. He wanted to "try the poison" and get rid of the demon.
The blue rose (in "Blue Velvet", the red rose represents the dream, the roses both represent love, and the two statues that appear in the night gate are both the goddess of love, Venus, and the whole dream describes Cooper’s unwillingness to lose Love): Before Laura's death, Li Lan also killed a waitress in the trailer, but when she was found after her death, the woman had two identical bodies. The police found a green ring on the bottom of the car. There is an owl pattern. Known as the "Blue Rose Incident", this incident represents Li Lan (Cooper's boss) is a serial murderer. The female singer in "Shuangfeng Town" sang the theme song of "Blue Velvet".
The
green ring and the golden ball in the third season of "Twin Peaks" : the green ring represents the devil (destroyer), and the golden ball represents God (the creator). The two belong to the night gate and the sun gate respectively. The green ring is described in "Blue Rose". So how did the golden ball come from? Through a series of experimental images, David Lynch expressed: A long time ago, there was a cannibal demon who spit out a black ball from his mouth. The black ball contained the demon Bob. The giant in the "Shou Sun Gate" saw the black ball through the image on the screen, and then used his body to create a golden ball, which was released into the world through the screen.
The giant is the incarnation of "God", the black-and-white cinema is the "guard gate", and the red curtain is the "guard gate". God can shuttle between the gate of day and the gate of night and help Cooper. Laura saw the angel after her death, and the one-armed man cut off his arm after seeing the true face of God, all of which are hidden lines of the "shouday gate".
You can create a person with hair and golden ball together. This is the function of golden ball, but golden ball needs "electricity" to create human beings. This is the reason why Douji has been demented after he returned to the world, and then "plugged in" did he recover. Sanity, this can be traced back to the creation of people in "Frankenstein", which requires "sky thunder". The big clock in the gate of the sun in the movie is also very similar to the instrument in "Frankenstein".
Through the coordinates leaked by the major, Cooper, who was possessed by the demon, found the location of the "Sun Gate". After entering the Sun Gate, he was locked in a cage and threw directly to the Shuangfeng Town Police Station. At this time, Daoji, who had recovered his sanity, also rushed. Go there, use the green gloves of the "hammer of justice" to smash the real body of the demon Bob: the black ball.
After Bob's death, Cooper thought that the devil had been eradicated from the world, so his master must be back to normal, and his girlfriend would not die. Can the story be rewritten? Cooper returned to the eve of Laura's death. Laura saw Cooper's face in the woods and screamed. Then Cooper walked into the woods with her hand. At this time, the camera returned to the place where the body bag was found in the first season. The body bag disappeared! But Laura also disappeared from him.
So Cooper walked into the night again to find Laura. After Bob's death, Laura was called "Judy". He went to find Judy and took her to the "home" in Twin Peaks town, but this one The host who lives now has never heard of Laura or Li Lan's family. Cooper wondered if the time was wrong. At this time, Judy suddenly screamed, because she seemed to hear Li Lan's voice again.
After Bob's death, Li Lan is still a bad guy. There are no demons. Some people in the world are born wicked (Master of Cooper). They fabricate such myths (dreams) just to make them more receptive.
