The film reveals some of the mystery behind Laura Palmer's life, including her family situation, details on her cocaine habbits, her work as a prostitute, and her relationships with James and Bobby. The film also exposes her killer, so therefore viewers who have now watched the television series should not watch Fire Walk With Me beforehand. As Jennie looks for Telly, Telly is spending the day working on seducing a twelve year-old into having sex with him. The movie ends with absolutely no hope, which seems fitting for the characters and the lives they are living. Yes, this movie by John Waters is absolute trash, but that is what makes it great.
Nobody can make such trashy movies in such good taste.
His jokes and characters are not meant to offend anybody, but only to majorly gross-out. This movie was the biggest highlight of the 1999 summer movie season. When the movie started I was immediately hooked. The surreal-looking clock and the strange opening scene with the cop and the people playing soccer was absolutely gripping. Then the heavy beat-driven techno soundtrack started and I was grinning with joy.
