So powerful. These words have something in them by themselves, even without the context of the series. It's like a key phrase or password for something more. Perfect delivery, too! Goosebumps!
Yes, I've also always seen it as a key or password. It reminds me of MK1 on the Sega. That game had so much weird shit in it revolving around The Pit level, and then there was the whole mystery of Reptile and how fvcking hard it was to find him, but it also all depended on how you approached The Pit. You had to be in the right place, at the right time under the right circumstances when that level came around, (and, if memory serves, it would also depend on what strange thing would float across the moon, and one of them was the fvcking SMILING HEAD! FVCK THAT HEAD! Shit horrified me as a kid), much like the incantation. I imagine coordinates matter, but then I've always wondered if the entire incantation is just what is heard from a humans perspective, though the same could be said about the lodge, period. It's an inconceivable place with inconceivable beings, but since the lodge and its inhabitants interact with the human world so much, it's taken on a familiar appearance - something familiar to the human eye. I'm going to stop myself because I could literally go on about the lodge and Twin Peaks forever.
Considering Laura''s Episode 8 "origin" as a golden mass of energy, plus Coop leading her by hand in Episode 17, "Fire walk with me" has a more literal meaning than I ever expected it would.
Was waiting for someone to utter it all season and it paid off. "Fire walk with me" is as pleasing a combination of words to me as "cellar door" was for Drew Barrymore in Donnie Darko.
During this episode, I felt so hopeful. There was the nostalgia, the scenes from the first season and movie, etc. Even Mike repeating the chant felt congratulatory. The ending song was haunting, especially after remembering when we last heard it. After finishing the last episode...all of my hope disappeared, and now I'm left with this feeling of dread.
I realised then that Cooper was the Magician. He essentially transgressed time and found himself treading two worlds in the ending. Fire Walked with Him.
i have had this thought also. and i also notice that while the phrase fire walk with me has been said by others in the series the only times the poem is recited in full is either to cooper or in his presence.it also ties in nicely with some of his earlier moments from the original series.
More like his soul. Many times throughout the series souls appeared as a fire, for example in the Black Lodge, as Bob captured Windom Earl's, or when the little kid was killed by Richard's truck.
Through the show theres repeatedly asked question "Is it future or is it past?" In the last scene of the show Cooper stands *in the darkness* and asks what year it is, but neither him or Laura could answer. They are trapped in the *future past* . *The Magician* was the boy named Pierre Tremond or Pierre Chalfont. The woman who owned Palmer's house was named Alice Tremond and she bought the house from Chalfonts. Boy and his grandmother were able to travel between timelines. He might be living in that house and *expecting* Cooper's visit. At the end you can hear Sarah (or Leland?) Palmer who literally *chanted out* "Laura!" between two world. What does *"Fire walk with me"* mean I dont know. But I suppose it is reffering strictly to the last scene.
The meaning of the last line always eluded me, until I think when Cooper follows Mike to see Phillip Jeffries. The whole quote seems to foreshadow Cooper's coming to the convenience store, which lies "between two worlds." With the help of Jeffries, he travels "through the darkness of future passed" in order to save Laura. As Cooper followes him to see Jeffries, they walk through what appears to be a burnt out building. It sounds cheesy, but I fully expected Cooper to ask "what happened here?" and for Mike to answer "Fire. Walk with me."
@@arete7884 Not really. Lynch most often takes a very literal aproach that seems too simple at first, but are key to solving the puzzle. "I mean it like it is, like it sounds."
I love that you can interpret it both as "one chance out between two worlds. fire walk with me" and "one chants out between to worlds: ´fire walk with me´"
It is a little weird, but I always just assumed this is in the "real world", as in this is Phillip Gerard "Mike". Since, as of course you would know, both in season 1 and season 2 lodge entities who inhabit humans were always talking normally when out of the lodges.
@@adolfelmarjukic9133 fire walk with me predicted all of this 25 years earlier. Not really weird for weird’s sake. You can figure it out if you want to, but that’s not the intention. It’s supposed to inspire
Twin Peaks isn’t supposed to be understood in the normal sense. You have to find a new method not involving intellectual thought. No more is allowed to be said
@@maxfieldnuckels9075 I like to think as an emotional experience first, much like a lot of Lynch's work. The result is always incredible rewarding. Same goes to Inland Empire, Eraserhead, and many more. That's Lynch, honestly
@@VV-nz4dv I loved cooper as dougie johnes but some scene really took too long while the effect could have been the same with less time, overall just miss the s1-s2 was better more coherent with its story and mystical aspect. Nothing can beat a good cop of joe and a cherry pie at double R

i feel the same way, and it may be related to carl jung's archetypes, or symbols of alchemy.
@@Suzanne.C 100% Jung is the key
It's my fav dialogue in the entire series. Fire walk with me is such a cool phrase
Mike almost sounds accepting while reciting the poem, like he's proud of Cooper for making it this far.
It's so fucking intense. Lynch really make everything up for us.
Considering Laura''s Episode 8 "origin" as a golden mass of energy, plus Coop leading her by hand in Episode 17, "Fire walk with me" has a more literal meaning than I ever expected it would.
Not only that but he is the magician between two worlds, himself being the future verson while being in the past
@@69angelmouse and "the magician" tarot card representing "as above, so below" which furthers the duality theme in twin peaks :D
That’s Lynch for ya! His visuals literally speak for themselves!!
@@spriteluver nothing to do with Tarot. Magician is the Director (Lynch). He's really not into all that tarot bs, he's the zen kinda guy.

I’ve always felt that way about the word “Northwest.”

I believe the ending is a bittersweet one, after thinking on it for a while
Cooper becoming a full time Lodge employee
Leon Roche That was a long ass internship man.
I wonder how long it took Philip Jeffries to be promoted to Executive Teakettle.
Without chemicals, he points. One of my favourite peaks characters. Always thought he played the role of something between good and evil perfectly.

"Fire is the devil, hiding like a coward in the smoke"
Goosebumps throughout the whole season. Please give us more Twin Peaks
Met Al at the Twin Peaks event in Christchurch NZ back in 2018. Absolute legend, this one hit hard. Rest in peace mate.
Farewell, Mike. Off to the white lodge.
RIP Al
RIP AL
This shit goes so hard. Goosebumps.

this scene had me so hyped

its not so literal it has sort of spiritual ambiguity

Interesting...
The genius of Mark Frost.
Beautifully done scene.
That just scared the hell out of me
My first tattoos was the word" fire walk with me "
RIP.
Cooper is the Magician
RIP
BOB has been defeated now it is time to explore new experiences.
This scene was enough.
That phrase sounds familiar like I've heard it before watching that scene.
This is the bardos.
They become in one?
We win so fucking Big!
His Name Is Bob,
Eager For Fun.
He Wears A Smile
Everybody Run.
Can someone suggests me songs like the one in the background? Or maybe the song in the background itself?
One armed man in my machine - leaf mcclary
Music like it? Maybe look up Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross
Go to Bandcamp and look for Dean Hurley. You'll find all the background stuff in The Return.
Чрез тьму прошедшего грядущего,
Лишь кудесник жаждет видеть;
Лишь возможность промеж двух миров;
Пламя, следуй за мной.
i am so disappointed by the fact that absolutely no twin peaks fan is noticing that this one time, mike is not speaking backwards-forwards.
It is a little weird, but I always just assumed this is in the "real world", as in this is Phillip Gerard "Mike". Since, as of course you would know, both in season 1 and season 2 lodge entities who inhabit humans were always talking normally when out of the lodges.
I noticed it but I just didn't mention it.
He’s no longer speaking backwards…
Which episode is this in?
Tamara Camparo 3x17
This appears to be a direct reference to the holy spirit
Can’t stand it when creator links pop up and obscure video
just fixed it :) thx xx
Very disappointed in the follow up. It took me nearly a whole year to recover.
Because it was so terrifying, I assume. It certainly wasn't bad, imo.
@@Vingul The latter part. Weird for the sake of weirdness and filled up with side histories without leading anywhere...
@@adolfelmarjukic9133 fire walk with me predicted all of this 25 years earlier. Not really weird for weird’s sake. You can figure it out if you want to, but that’s not the intention. It’s supposed to inspire
3rd part was huge disappointment. I hope they make a 4th ending part take makes everything more understandable
i loved season 3. it expanded the lore and mythos way further, to even endless possibilities of interpretation.
Twin Peaks isn’t supposed to be understood in the normal sense. You have to find a new method not involving intellectual thought. No more is allowed to be said
Dude, if you whant Lynch to be more understandable (specially current David Lynch), I', sorry, but you might be disapointed.
