      Scheming bitch hides a big murder (this is not a movie review)

      This is not a film review, it's a personal impression


      This is another film that I don’t understand very much after watching it, and I might not understand it after watching it many times.

      The two heroines are small. Lily and Amanda.

      To put it simply, Lily is a "scheming bitch", there are a lot of duplicity (too many, I won't repeat it), and the characteristics she showed at the beginning are not the real her (we can call it "adult...

      A little analysis of the whole video

      It seems to me that Lily and Amanda both ended up in the end because of various family conditions. Let me talk about Lily first, no matter how hypocritical and vain she is, she has a sincere affection for her mother, which can be seen in the argument with her stepfather in the kitchen. There are many details to see that Lily's mother is obedient to her stepfather. If there is no reason, how could she agree to let her daughter go to that kind of chaotic school, not to mention that the...

      Beautiful, but not very understanding

      One star gives the beauty of both of them, especially Anya, whose eyes are so big that people's hearts are drunk. One star for Cinematography, the film is beautifully shot. One star gives the background music and sound effects, which is very psychedelic and thrilling, and abruptly upgrades the effect of the whole film. In general, the director told a story that was actually very simple step by step.

      It's a pity that maybe it's because I'm too talented to learn. I really can't...

      match made in heaven

      The movie is too ambitious. The two people have known each other for so long without explaining why their friendship is still so plastic, or it only became plastic later. Have they ever treated each other sincerely?

      Amanda reveals the friendship that doesn't exist, but Lily doesn't admit it. At first, I thought Amanda was a bit too much. Well, you've seen it through. Lily was annoyed by her stepfather's pressing step by step, her first reaction was to use it, and there was almost no...

      Under the disguise of capitalism, the morbid state of hypocrisy, do ladies and gentlemen have a truly fine lineage and style?

      Let me talk about this movie! Lily has always relied on her mother, family, and the death of her father. Her mother found her stepdad Mark. Lily always hated and hated her stepfather. The neurotic friend Amanda saw Lily’s thoughts. Lily was overly dependent on the family. Mom, she didn’t want to be independent, she kept disguising her relationship with her stepfather on the surface. When the stepfather said to send Lily away, she broke out and killed the stepfather. She was too selfish and...

      The director's skills are still there, and I feel that the director has seen many old movies. Fun, thrilling, tense, and entertaining. A murder committed by two girls with very different personalities. Anthony...

    Movie quotes

    • [last lines]

      Amanda: [Amanda's voice reading her letter to the audience] I'm Honeymooner, and I'm dying. And I rise out of my body, and I'm staring down at our whole suburb, and time is speeding up. And I see generations of people coming, and going, and building bigger houses. And then eventually... the people start spending more and more of their time staring at their smartphones. And soon enough, they're forgetting to clean their houses, or mow their lawns, or eat. And eventually all the houses rot and collapse, and the people disappear, vanishing completely into the Internet. And then... and this is the really beautiful part, the horses take over. And the whole suburb is just beautiful thoroughbred stallions with no owners and no memory of owners and no way of knowing how expensive they are, just mating and galloping through the ruins.

      Tim: What did it say?

      Lily: I don't know. I just threw it away.

    • Tim: You know, the thing about this town is, the sawdust smells fantastic. But you are still in a hamster cage.

    • Mark: You couldn't possibly understand someone else's point of view. Could you. Not mine, not your friends. Definitely not your mom's. Because in your brain, all these people are just little offshoots of your consciousness. We're all your maids, aren't we? Your cleaning ladies. Your personal trainers. You know what? Put all the shit in your lungs that you want. We need to stop protecting you. Life needs to knock you around a little. Oh, and the only reason I am still sending you to Brookmore, is that I paid in full. After that, you're off my payroll. Princess.
