David Lynch dies – level 3

21-01-2025 07:00

David Lynch, the famous director and co-creator of Twin Peaks, has passed away at 78.

His family announced his death on Facebook, expressing their deep sadness with a heartfelt tribute. They quoted David: ‘Keep your eye on the donut and not on the hole.’

While the cause of death was not revealed, David had shared his emphysema diagnosis last year. Known for movies like Blue Velvet and Mulholland Drive, Lynch was celebrated for his unique storytelling style and visionary creativity.

Steven Spielberg, who cast Lynch in The Fabelmans in 2022, described him as a singular visionary. His films and TV shows, spanning nearly 50 years, entertained, thrilled, and mystified audiences with their imaginative worlds. Lynch’s artistic influence inspired generations, blending commercial filmmaking with true artistry. Fans and colleagues mourn the loss of a director who created magical, thought-provoking, and original cinematic experiences.

Difficult words: emphysema (a disease that makes breathing difficult), visionary (someone with original and creative ideas), mourn (to feel or express sadness about a loss).
