In the early 90s, the whole country, with bated breath, enthusiastically began to watch the series, which is radically different from the usual protracted Latin American soap operas. It was an American mystical serial film "Twin Peaks", which really excited the minds of different generations. And perhaps the most pressing issue of the time was the question of who killed Laura Palmer.
The action takes place in a small town called Twin Peaks, located near the Canadian border. A local fisherman who enjoyed fishing every morning in a small stream found a corpse wrapped in polyethylene on the shore. Terrified, he calls the sheriff. He arrives with his assistants and, opening a terrible bundle, discovers that the body belongs to a local beauty, the daughter of a lawyer respected in the city, seventeen-year-old Laura Palmer. Of course, the beginning of the film “smells like” a banal detective story, but everything turned out to be not so simple. Almost until the very end, no oneknows who killed Laura Palmer. The death of this girl made it possible to penetrate into the most terrible secrets that the town and the gloomy forests surrounding it kept. The film is so permeated with mysterious and inexplicable events that even at the end of its viewing, the feeling that everything is just beginning does not leave.
A lot, but not all, explains Laura Palmer's secret diary, which the police and the girl's friends are looking for throughout the series. The book of the same name formed the basis for the full-length prequel Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me. Based on the entries in the diary, it might seem that the girl could have avoided death if, as a child, she had not accidentally caught her parents making love. It can be assumed that she was so shocked by this picture that the resulting stress served as her kind of “split personality”. After all, it was after this moment that Bob began to come to her, who mocked her, accustoming her to pain and preparing for death. Laura Palmer (photo) wrote in her diary that Bob wants her soul, otherwise he will continue to torture and rape her.
For several years, the girl lives, torn apart by pain, which drugs and sex help to drown out a little. With all this, she has not yet completely degraded: there is still room in her soul for kindness and the desire to help others. She came up with and brought to life the idea of "Meals on Wheels" (delivered food to the elderly); she taught English to the owner of a localsawmill Chinese Josie; she was a nurse for the 26-year-old feeble-minded Johnny, the son of local tycoon Benjamin Horne. In addition, she was a smart student, an excellent student and a recognized beauty. Therefore, it simply did not fit in my head, who killed Laura Palmer? Who was able to take the life of this wonderful girl?
Even when it becomes clear that her own father was the killer, there is still a whole bunch of unsolved mysteries. Did her father really kill her? Or, be
maybe it was Bob who possessed him - some kind of dark entity from the other world? He wanted to take possession of Laura's body in order to continue killing, as he had done for over a hundred years. But the girl chose to die. She didn't care what he did to her body, but she wanted to keep her soul, so she let him kill her.
Despite the fact that the show is over 20 years old, it still remains perhaps the most mysterious in the history of cinema, as well as the already rhetorical question of who killed Laura Palmer.
