Laura whispers to Dale, together in The Red Room. She tells him her secrets. In many ways, that’s how their story together began–it’s one of the first things that happens when they meet in his dream. And it happens again–(it is happening again)–after twenty-five years, in The Return.It’s the last view we have of them, together, in the final credits sequence, as Badalamenti’s gentle music plays over the image.And we all wanted to know what she really said.But like most things with Lynch, that linear course of thinking isn’t really profitable. If you look at that, and want to know what she’s saying, you’ll never know. We’re not given access. If that’s how you try to get meaning out of this final moment, it’ll forever evade you.I think it’s the image itself, where the meaning lies. Laura comes to Dale. She kisses him–bonds with him. They’re connected. And she opens up to him. Tells him her secrets. That relationship is the point. She speaks, and he hears. That’s the endless cycle of Twin Peaks. Our two protagonists forever speaking and listening, together. A storyteller and her audience, creating something in an endless moment.It isn’t what she says that matters. It’s that she’s saying it at all. That she’s saying it to Dale, and always will be. -- source link
