Twin Peaks: The Return episodes 3 and 4: in this new miniseries, identity is everything -

 


"If, as Twin Peaks argues, we construct our identities based on collections of influences in our vague proximity, then some of those influences are going to be pop culture-related. Anybody who’s modeled their hairstyle off a famous celebrity or worked hard at seeming as sexy and cool as a movie star will know this to be true. We’ve always looked to the most prominent members of our given societies to figure out what we should be like — and in modern America, our most prominent citizens are often the famous ones.

Thus, Twin Peaks contains lots and lots of scenes in which the characters seem to have trouble distinguishing between what’s fiction and what’s “real.” (Obviously it’s all fiction, but bear with me.) "
