Erin wasn't gay, and Sylby just caught a life-saving straw before she sank after she lost all hope of life. Life needs hope and purpose, and Irene, who has nothing, takes this kind of relationship that she can't understand as love as an excuse to live in despair. The posture of the two women hugging on the bed is actually a good metaphor for such a relationship that is not typical of love. This posture is more like a posture of hugging and warming each other. The tall Irene is in the lower position. Obviously, her heart is colder. is her.
Erin not only regards love as a reason to live, but even regards it as a driving force and a ladder to become a normal person or even mainstream society. When she described her future blueprint to her lover in the hotel, it was a laughing and very embarrassing episode. She was very serious and excited, but even in front of the ignorant Silby, she was not convincing at all. . She believes that the power of love is infinite, and she is still deceiving herself when she is betrayed by her lover in court, which actually strongly and indirectly highlights Erin's desire for life rather than her reluctance to love.
If you know all of a person's tragedies and know that if they don't stop right away, the person will slide into the abyss of sin, then when this person sits at your desk trying to get a job that can support themselves Even if you knew she was a prostitute who knew nothing, I think you would sympathetically ask her to give her a try for the position. If you can't, at least you won't reject her so bluntly. However, how can most people pay attention to the life of a stranger when they are so confused about their own life? Irene is very vulgar, but she is not stupid. She must also understand the truth. Therefore, she has been indifferent and insulted step by step since she was a child, when she suddenly came out and expressed her love for her, why should she care? Is she a man or a woman. She regards this relationship as love. Although we say that Sylby is ignorant and has not fulfilled her lover's sense of responsibility, in fact, what Sylby gave to Erin is more precious, and that is the hope of living. So, no matter what Silby asks, Erin will pat her chest like a man and say: It's okay, I'll get it done. Although she actually muttered to herself with a nervous look in her eyes every time she said this, she had no confidence at all. This is especially true of Theron's acting skills.
One of Irene's signature movements is to shake her hair high, and the other is to puff out her chest and raise her lips with a contemptuous expression on her face. These two actions are not so much pretended self-confidence, but rather like a habitual Ah Q-style comical reaction after being beaten up repeatedly. Generally speaking, women only cry when they reach this level. Only men do this, but Irene is more manly than men. Of course, she is the saddest kind of man. Although she is not interested in homosexuality, all the most tragic experiences have long transformed her from a little woman full of fantasy into a vulgar "stinky man" who sees through the coldness of the world.
The real overuse of the film's expression is not Theron's performance, but the tough attitude that directly hits the reality of life, even overshadowing the drama "Shameless", leaving no room for the audience to step back.
Love needs material support. If Sylby is a down-to-earth lover, they can start from the lowest level of coolies. Irene, a strong "stinky man", is obviously no problem. It's better than giving five dollars to a man at a time. The bite is strong, but Silby can't. Sylby is actually more like Erin as a child, obsessed with love and fantasy, but ignorant of reality. Living is not easy if you have nothing and nothing, because even the simplest life requires the lowest cost. For Erin, satisfying Sylby's desire for material things is the lowest cost of her life.
Irene always disguised herself as a strong person, and only in front of her only friend, Tom, did she dare to relax her tight line of defense and take the bread and beer from her friend and bite shyly. I believe Erin offered to give Tom a bite not to pay back the bread money, but to express her gratitude to her friend from the bottom of her heart, and it was the only way of gratitude she had. It is said that wives and children belong to others, and only friends belong to you. Who says no? When you are hungry, he will give you bread, and will be very considerate to say "ham taste is not to my taste" to take care of your "man" dignity that does not exist in the first place.
A friend of mine called this morning. After talking about the business, he still explained and apologized very seriously for a small debt that didn't last for a long time, just like the previous two calls. This reminds me of a very interesting detail in this movie, that is, Erin is sitting in a hut (this kind of cubicle with no windows and only a rolling door has also been seen in the drama "Shameless" and seems to be inhabited by the poor in America Standard) The momentary embarrassed expression after hearing Tom's greeting while packing up at the door. Irene is full of resentment towards this world, she feels that everyone is sorry for her, so she always looks like no one is a dick. But Tom is her only friend and she doesn't feel he owes her anything, she owes him the bread, although she may owe money elsewhere, like bar drinks or something, but it's probably her The only recognized debt.
Erin killed 6 people, but the only one who really made her feel guilty was the last old man. In reality, Aileen Wuornos has always claimed in court that the killing was in self-defense. If her experience is really consistent with the movie, in a sense, she is in self-defense. Fate does not give her a way to survive. She can only get money by killing people. With money, Sylby can be happy. When Sylby is happy, she can continue to live in the name of love.
"Hope is a good thing, maybe the best thing in the world, and good things never go away." If she also has the banker's accounting knowledge, careful thinking and tenacity, I think she can do it for so many years. Digging through the "secret road" to freedom and happiness will not lead from one desperate situation to another, but all she has is a biting technology worth only $5. For a girl who has been abandoned in an orphanage since childhood, a vulgar girl who grew up in a humiliating environment, hope may be just a beautiful and luxurious thing, but she still feels the magic of hope in the last days of her life, although This ethereal hope led her to the abyss of sin. Although she doesn't know what God wants and doesn't want to be an enemy of God, I don't think God wants to be an enemy of her, but God is not omnipotent, and his people are too many to take care of, if God is omnipotent , then why would he tolerate the existence of Satan?
The above text is only based on the plot of the movie, which may be fundamentally different from the real Aileen Wuornos. "Where there is life, there is hope". Compared with love, life and death are the big issues. Love is just a false proposition in this movie.
