Henry Spencer, John Merrick, Paul Atreides, Jeffrey Beaumont, Sailor Ripley, Laura Palmer, Fred Madison, Alvin Straight, Betty Elms and Nikki Grace. 10 people see the world differently than everyone else. Or, at least, their world. But one day, something goes wrong. 10 stories bring fear, hurt, determination, curiosity, individuality, brokenness, anger, sadness, jealousy and trouble itself to the forefront as they see the culmination of their actions and their feelings all at the center. Different worlds, dimensions and places come together, time and time again. Is it future or is it past? One cannot say for sure where they begin or where they end. It's like the ancient phrase: We are like the dreamer who dreams and then lives inside a dream. But... who is the dreamer?

You know how some people say, leave the past, in the past? Well some thing's aren't going to, somethings are just so strong they can't be kept a secret. For Micheal, he doesn't know it's his past, or is it someone's else's.... Sure he's made mistakes in his life but, some things just happen, again, and again, and again.......... till we get it right I guess.

The fifteenth entry of the 2020-2021 Film Journal is the prequel film, "Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me". In this extensive installment, I detail the importance of David Lynch's work upon my recent life; my experience with the "Twin Peaks" series; my personal, so-far interpretation of the tale's mysteries and ideas; how "Fire Walk with Me" feels as a cinematic experience; and how this film dramatically shifts my views of this beloved show.
