David Lynch explains his “eye of the duck” theory, at Bob’s Big Boy diner, in 1988.
I had not heard of this idea at all before I read this very good paper on Twin Peaks / True Detective in Gothamist:
How True Detective & Twin Peaks Are Just One Story, The Oldest
(The paper reveals who killed Laura Palmer and who killed Dora Lange)
The movie is like a duck, and the eye of the duck is its most beautiful part, which shines on everything else.
I’ll be looking out for the eye of the duck in my favorite movies, TV series and books. And also in everyday life.
