You don't really need to focus on Twin Peaks at all to get enjoyment out of it, but if you describe yourself as "fine" with weirdness, I'm not sure you'll get much out of it. The weirdness is the point, and comes at the expense of pretty much all other concerns. The character development, style, and dialogue pretty much all serve the explicit purpose of creating a dreamlike atmosphere that makes just enough sense to be memorable and invoke feeling, but not enough sense to understand them or why they have an effect on you.
- Waterluvian 4y agoAha. Hmm. When I say “fine” I mean I enjoy weird. I won’t scoff at it and move on. But perhaps what you’re getting at is that if weird is normal to me, this may be kind of dated and dull? Like when old jokes seem bad because they aren’t really shocking anymore?
- yunwal 4y agoHmm, no I think there's a very good reason why Lynch is considered the master at this kind of thing that's pretty timeless or at least still holds up. There are a lot of imitators, but they often fail for the same reason that adding more explosions to an action movie doesn't necessarily make it more exciting. It won't be "shocking" like it was when it first aired, but there's a lot of subtlety to it.
- Waterluvian 4y agoWonderful. Thanks for your comments.
