"Heavenly Creatures" has the heavy theme of "Mother Killing". The film has been played down a lot by the director's artistic treatment, but the ending is still shocking.The target of criticism of this reality-based film is far from the hysteria of gay girls, but the kind of hysteria that middle-class adults in the 1950s had about any sex.
Peter Jackson uses a lot of portable photography and location to correspond to the hero's fantasy world. The combination of dream and reality is well realized, and the character and feelings of the characters are highlighted.
Jackson used deliberately distorted close-up shots to set off Linsky's adolescent confusion and Winslet's charming charm. Linsky tightened his lips proudly, and the pain in the heart of the self-defeating child suddenly came out.
