Re: The Owl Cave Ring - thematic significance

Consciously complicit, or simply on a psychic/subconscious level as carriers of the "Bob" disease (I think that's what you're saying)? Not consciously in the usual sense (and who knows what the other senses truly are, especially the way Lynch depicts it) but if the masked man from episode...

Re: The Owl Cave Ring - thematic significance

Aside from Sarah Palmer reading a book on how to speak German, that somehow reminds me of Ben Horne's origins and the Shakespearean routine from episode 2. "But thy eternal summer shall not fade Nor lose possession of that fair thou owest Nor shall death brag..." When Laura tells Harold th...

Re: The Owl Cave Ring - thematic significance

What was going on there in terms of agriculture and/or religious belief? Well he is wearing a crucifix, so if the Mayan/Indigenous motifs have any pertinence I guess that would add to the whole syncretism going on. One Mayan myth--the siguanaba--is usually portrayed as a beautiful young woman of qu...

Re: 'The Secret Lives of Twin Peaks' new novel by M. Frost 2

Lynch loves Cooper and I'm not convinced he'd punish such a wonderful character Do you think he 'punishes' Henry what he does to the baby, or Jeffrey Beaumont by having him slap Dorothy the same way Frank Booth does? "If we didn't want to upset anyone, we would make films about sewing. But eve...

Re: The Owl Cave Ring - thematic significance

One possibility is that we're meant to see this owl as diving down from above, going after prey below The shot of TMFAP is a tracking POV diving down and Cooper and TMFAP are seen from a very high angle in the two 'is it future or is it past' scenes, but owls are barely mentioned by name in the scr...

Re: The Owl Cave Ring - thematic significance

The inverted owl symbol could be evocative of a corncob. I think in the film the ring is always presented in the same way as after the petroglyph is rotated and not as it was originally found

Re: The Owl Cave Ring - thematic significance

We can also draw a parallel between Audrey's ring and the perfume counter at Horne's as an entryway to One-Eyes Jack's ("J") with the space above the convenience store (Judy's?) being an entryway to the Red Room where the Owl Cave ring is first seen. http://www.dugpa.com/forum/download/fil...

Re: The Owl Cave Ring - thematic significance

Re-oriented the story towards an emphasis on Laura's trauma and not just her place in the Lodge mythology. Especially relevant: the inclusion of the angels & the ring's positive function
