Twin Peaks: the Return (2017), Revisited

Twin Peaks is a shared dream.

Everyone lives in a dream, his own world, most of the time. On few occasions, individuals meet to share the dream. There's often music in the air on such occasions.

A conversation is a dance. The dance reduces the conversation to its essence. It removes the middle-man, the macguffin, the plot, the purported meaning. Twin Peaks, like a dance, dismisses the middleman.

Most of the time, one is in the Black Lodge, the waiting room. What is remembered, is the finite time outside, on earth. One should make most of it.

Today, characters are no longer developed in the legacy world but online. Relationships are cultivated online. What will the movies set in the present look like? Will action ever be spectacular again?
