He also represents world weariness he has zero sense of wonder or discovery, wearing a constant expression of eerie grimness. Yet Mr. C is not simply an inverted evil clone of Agent Cooper. Hes partof Agent Cooper, his 1, his shadow self and a person cant live without their shadow. Mr. C doesnt merely represent abstract concepts of desire and world weariness he represents Agent Coopers desires and experience. If theres one thing you should know about me, Ray, its that I dont need anything. I want. Also pictured sex, violence, and Cheetos. Am I saying that Special Agent Dale Cooper desires to rape and murder No, because the whole Agent Cooper is composed of two countervailing sets of forces dark AND light, experience AND innocence, desire AND love, jadedness AND sincerity. Here, in a vivid metaphor for the diseased heart, the dark half of those two sets of forces, his 1 embodied by Mr. C has gone AWOL, living detached from any countervailing forces for 2. And not only has Coopers 1, his dark half, gone rogue, but and this is critical to note it has for years been turbocharged, egged into being the most extreme version of darkness, by BOB. Meanwhile, trapped back in the Lodge space this whole while, Dale is a husk of his former Special Agent Dale Cooper self, severely traumatized by the realization of the horrors that his 1 side has wrought in the world. This trauma to and fracturing of Coopers soul is neatly displayed in the otherworldly scenes of Part 3, in a space that following other fans, and the color scheme of the scenes Im referring to in this essay as the Mauve Zone. Cooper spends time in two different rooms in the Mauve Zone, which collectively represent his souls struggle for harmony, and individually represent, in turn, harm and healing. The first Mauve Zone room, with an electrical contraption labeled 1. Naido. In the first room HARM the very fabric of the rooms reality seems to be breaking apart, with the scene displayed in herky jerky stops and starts, and flickering lights. The woman he encounters there appears to have a severely traumatized body no eyes, no voice and the apparently Japanese name that the credits provide her, Naido, nods towards Part 8s usage of the musical composition by Krzysztof Penderecki, Threnody to the Victims of Hiroshima, during the nuclear explosion. An electrical outlet contraption on the wall is labeled with the number 1. Cooper approaches it, Naido tries to warn him away from it, making deathly cutting gestures accompanied by slicing noises on the soundtrack. Meanwhile, an ominously loud banging noise has started on the nearby door. The Full The Secret World Of Arrietty Movie. Its worth pausing for a second to note the significance of the number 1. If, as we discussed earlier, 2. Realizing this brings to mind two thoughts a Dale, still in the raw throes of extreme trauma, is currently in no shape to face the 1 ness, or darkness, represented by the 1. The 1. 5 outlet, as well as the thick layers of trauma signifiers present in the room and on her body, suggest that Naido is representative of a person damaged by extreme 1 ness. My guess is she is either a 1. The question of whose 1. This question will be informed by the final section of this essay. After Naido leads Cooper up a ladder into something resembling outerspace and then falls down the vastness of space after flipping a giant switch, Cooper returns down the ladder after seeing the floating head of Major Briggs say Blue Rose to find himself now in a new, second room HEALING. The second Mauve Zone room, with an electrical contraption labeled 3, a blue rose, and American Girl. In this room, the herky jerky playback and flickering lights we saw previously have ceased this is a calmer space. Seated in front of a fireplace Cooper now finds a woman played by Phoebe Augustine, the same actress who played Ronette Pulaski in the original run of Twin Peaks. Ronette, a brutalized survivor of the violence doled out by Lauras killers BOBLeland, is here reconceptualized as American Girl, as she is credited. Further, the electrical outlet contraption on the wall is now labeled 3, rather than 1. After a brief exchange between Cooper and the American Girl and more banging on the door, Cooper is sucked into the 3 electrical outlet, leaving his shoes behind. So what exactly have we just witnessed here In essence, weve seen in the first room Cooper try to skip right to the last step of a trauma recovery program, only to be told by Naido that hes not ready for that yet he needs to work on himself first. The herky jerky nature of the first rooms playback, as well as Naidos seemingly trauma induced lack of sight voice, both indicate just how unready Cooper is to confront what lies in the 1. Mr. C. Instead, Naido takes Cooper up the ladder to the vastness of space which, like blue rose spoken by Major Briggs and seen in the vase after Naido pulls the lever, represents clear eyed self exploration of the two cosmic, eternal sets of forces at work in each of us, and in the universe at large. Douglas Jones moving like a cobra, and helping Agent Cooper to develop a new self conception. When Naido flips the switch, shes shifting Coopers perspective he no longer sees himself as a broken victim, and instead is trying to rebuild a more fulsome self conception from square one. This reconception is manifested by the replacement of Naido with American Girl, a trauma survivor Ronette transformed into a safe, shallow trope for remember, shallowness is on the extreme end of the light set of forces, as depth implies experience and its concomitant brushes with darkness and the extreme shallow end of things is where one must start when plumbing the depths. She guides Cooper into the 3 socket, where he can begin his journey of self exploration and healing, in preparation for eventually confronting what lies behind the 1. The numbers 3 and 1. On one level, they represent the fractured nature of Coopers soul his Great Northern hotel room number is 3. Cooper arrives in Dougie Jade sends Coopers keysoul off to Twin Peaks. Note that Dougie immediately loses his 3. Jade to Twin Peaks itself another symbol for wholeness, or at least the meeting of the two sides of the soul. On another level, 3 and 1. Cooper must go on to rebuild a harmonious self. Cooper enters the 3 socket and becomes Dougie in Part 3 of TP TR which is fitting, given that hes trying to repair the harmony of his personal soul trinity. It would be a perfect parallel for his journey as Dougie to end in the Part bearing the number of the other socket, 1. The full recounting of the evidence suggesting that Dougie will be replaced by Dale, a whole 2, by the end of Part 1. August 2. 0th, is provided in its own section later in this essay. Dougies journey in TP TR Parts 31. Special Agent Dale Cooper plumbing his subconscious in an attempt to fix his heart, his 2 or, as Gordon Cole David Lynch would put it, Dougie the clown comic must fix his heart or die Attn, clown comics fix your heart or die. The beginning of Coopers quest for healing as Dougie, Part 3, is aptly titled Call for help, and, fittingly, features a heartrendingly flummoxed Dougie repeating the phrase call for help numerous times.
