Chapter 7 Residents of Twin Peaks

American singer Julie Crews once said in an interview that to this day, she still receives calls like that in the early hours of the morning: the person on the phone calls herself a "resident of Twin Peaks" and asks her, what is going on? Who Killed Laura Palmer? Who are the "residents of Shuangfeng Town"?Who is Laura Palmer?The former is the self-proclaimed name of fans of the TV series "Shuangfeng Town", and the latter is the heroine of "Shuangfeng Town". "Shuangfeng Town" is a 29-episode TV series produced by David Lynch for the American National Broadcasting Corporation (ABC). It started filming in 1989 and aired in 1990. David Lynch served as the chief director and directed the For the first few episodes, the rest of the pages were handed over to other directors. Therefore, "Shuangfeng Town" has gathered a large number of excellent directors and screenwriters.

The story of "Twin Peaks" is simple to say, and can be summed up in almost one sentence: "Who Killed Laura Palmer?" It begins with the death of Laura Palmer, a high school girl in Twin Peaks, and then It is the arrival of a well-dressed federal agent. From his perspective, he shows the turmoil caused by the murder and the lives of all kinds of people in the town.The first season of the show was a hit once it aired, and the ratings remained high. By 1991, when the second season aired, the ratings dropped sharply (and David Lynch devoted more energy to The filming of "Wild at Heart" has a lot to do with it), and the mysterious and weird atmosphere it rendered became more and more disturbing, so ABC took the initiative to cut it in half, so the audience never knew who killed Laura Parker. Elmer.It wasn't until 1992, when David Lynch used the same story to film the movie "Twin Peaks: Walking with Fire", that he finally explained the ending issues left over from the TV series.

"Twin Peaks" is a milestone in the history of American television.It has won many important awards in the American TV industry, such as the 1990 Television Critics Association Award, the 1991 Golden Globe Award for Best Actor and Actress, the 1991 Emmy Award for eight awards, and the 1991 American Broadcasting Association Best TV Series Award. La Palmer's actress Sheil Lee became famous with this film, and even the filming location of this TV series has become a tourist attraction, and the restaurant that appeared in the TV series is responsible for offering tourists the same Donuts that have appeared.

David Lynch's queen female singer Julie Cruise (she has appeared in several David Lynch films) presented two episodes and the theme song Falling for "Twin Peaks", and shocked the audience. She appeared in the play at a glance, playing the mysterious and beautiful "Road House Bar" female singer, and the original soundtrack of the TV series became one of the best-selling original soundtracks in history.And all those who fanatically love David Lynch and "Twin Peaks" have since had a tacit, secret society-like title: "The Residents of Twin Peaks." Another important achievement of "Shuangfeng Town" is that it created the tradition of strange power and chaos in American dramas. Crimes and supernatural events have since become important roles in American dramas. Fierce, and even "Lost" are regarded as its successors, "Desperate Housewives" was dead at the beginning, and traces of "Twin Peaks" can be vaguely seen, while "X-Files" and David Lynch's daughter filmed In the movie "Surveillance", the beautiful federal agents in suits and leather shoes are also clearly paying tribute to "Twin Peaks".

The show's popularity is inseparable from the small-town American tradition.Surrounded by forests, mountains and rivers, the town of Shuangfeng in the TV series is rich in resources, complete with various facilities, and mellow human kindness. Residents live a warm, lazy life intertwined with dreams and reality. It is almost a modern Taoyuan. "Residents of Shuangfeng Town" are not so much fascinated by this TV series as they are fascinated by the Taoyuan in it.
