TWIN PEAKS / THE SHINING : Trauma & Transcendence | Film Comparison

[@TheEmptyAir]

Man, this is so miles ahead most pieces of Twin Peaks. It doesn't endlessly interrogate coincidence, it just makes a convincing argument that two pieces of media you're familiar with are worth considering in conjunction - that one's consideration might enhance the other.

[@imdiyu]

I always believed that The Shinning and Twin Peaks are companion pieces. Thank you.

[@CharlesKincaid]

Enjoyed the video. Most analyses of these works completely avoid the spiritual aspect, or only make passing reference to Lynch's Transcendental Meditation.

[@ChrisLeRose]

So much goodness in here. My "Aw damn!" moment came when you pointed out the similarity of the shape of the island in the opening shot of The Shining to a diagonal square or "diamond" shape. I've always found that shot insanely cryptic, but the idea that it goes with a consistent Kubrick visual motif really helps. Thank you!

i should not be watching this at midnight, idk why but this is the first time in months i've felt my skin crawl haha...

[@brandonhamaguchi]

I have to see twin peaks before I die man

[@inoculatedcity]

your understanding of non dualist philosophy is so much better than other twin peaks analysis i’ve seen… not naming names but i just tried to watch another video which was atrocious at this

[@CineMollusk]

Thanks! Do you have any recommended reading/viewing on the subject?

[@klaatubaradanikto1490]

omg what a fantastic video essay. i'm obsessed with both of these works, but the connections you've made are... quite damning.

[@iyzy]

More Twin Peaks analysis please

[@CineMollusk]

I will try!

[@rosegarden-dv6lx]

Nice analysis. From what I have read, one of David Lynch's inspirations is Stanley Kubrick. It's interesting to see the parallels now even though i have watched both media.

[@expreserge1]

the greatest video I've watched this year. thanks, man

[@AfrimGjonbalaj]

[@woahhhluv]

This was brilliant

[@CineMollusk]

Thanks!

[@ronzombie6541]

That was heavy.

[@DH-fu7bx]

What's the music at 4:55 it'sdifferent from night life in twin peaks, but rsembles dark mood woods / the red room more, yet it also sounds off.

[@redmoondesignbeth9119]

Wow! That was very good. 🙄😊

[@gary-f2m]

Always thought the shining and cuckoo's nest where distant cousins too... indian reservation, mcmurphys interview at the beginning, frozen death face at the end ... and of course scatman crothers

[@CineMollusk]

Interesting! And Danny, Wendy and Chief escape at the end. Make sure to check out Rob Ager's latest video about Kubrick & Nicholson if you haven't already.
