Twin Peaks : An Unofficial Tribute

 

Twin Peaks : David Lynch

 

Here is a brief introduction to David Lynch
the man who made "Twin Peaks", and it's film
"Twin Peaks : Fire Walk with me".I am an
admirer of Lynch's work, but some of his
films are better than others. I love the
TP series obviously.

Stats
Name : David Lynch
D.O.B : Jan 20 1946
Born : Missoula, Montana

Early work :
He made "The Alphabet" and "The
Grandmother", which led to a five
year run of making
his pet project "Eraserhead".

Big films :

Lynch followed up "Eraserhead" with the
Oscar winning, "The Elephant Man" starring
Anthony Hopkins.Anthony Hopkins plays the
doctor who rescues him and treats him as a
patient when he discovers he has been abused.
He begins to realize that not only is John
not an idiot, but a smart, caring, and gentle
man. He begins to educate him further in
the ways of Victorian society, which
embraces Merrick in a pretentious way.
He escapes the hospital (tormented by
the night porter's habit of bringing people
by to gawk at him), but when he begins to get
abused again, the other freaks help him
escape and he returns to the hospital where
he dies peacefully.


 

 


 

"Dune", was released in 1984, but it was a
science fiction flop. It starred a range
of "Twin Peaks" people including Kyle
MacLachlan, Jack Nance and singer, Sting.
Soon after, he did "Blue Velvet", which
is one of his finest films, it again featured
Kyle MacLachlan plus Laura Dern and Dennis
Hopper.
"Wild At Heart" was made in 1990, and it
did quite well, it starred Nicolas Cage
and Laura Dern as young lovers on the run.

Shortly after this Lynch produced some
albums, including "Industrial Symphony No.1"
and did a little Tv show, Twin Peaks.

"Twin Peaks : Fire Walk with Me" was made
in 1992 to tighten up some loose ends
from the show, fans enjoyed, but it flopped
everywhere. Recently, he did the
strange film "Lost Highway" with Bill Pullman.

His latest film is The Straight Story,his
first "normal" movie, and from Disney, starring
Richard Farnsworth as a man who drives his
lawnmower half way across America to see his
sick brother.

TV Shows:
On The Air: A short lived series about a 50's variety show, hosted by Ian Buchanan (Dick Tremayne, TP) and with Miguel Ferrer (S.A. Albert Rosenfield, TP).

Twin Peaks: I'm not even gonna start.
