I've been wondering whether Shelby loves Lynn or not. What is the purpose of being with Lynn? The first sentence of living together is "you will take good care of me", is this love? Just ask for it. Indeed, Lin always had a feeling of falling in love with a scumbag.
When Lynn fell in love with Shelby, I thought to myself "bitch is in love". "The bitch is ruthless, the play is not righteous" is a saying I have always believed. And I'm even more convinced that once a bitch falls in love, she will be hurt sooner or later, either you die or I live.
I personally like Lynn's hair tossing. The heroine of this film is not really beautiful. The rude and sturdy physique is really incomparable to those slender waists and hips that are full of screens. But Lin's hair-twisting action is really sexy. There is a kind of determination, a kind of wildness, a kind of dashing, as if the next second she is the proud princess again, strutting down the road, waiting for the next prey. A $20 girl doesn't have low self-esteem, that's life. Everything will be OK. Even at the end of the shot, she looked very energetic when she entered the prison with her head held high.
Shelby should have never loved Lynn from the beginning. She likes the cheerful bar girl. The circumstances of her own life make her disapproving or confused about her own life. She is introverted and cowardly. At this time, the success rate of approaching a single woman is relatively high. Maybe she just wants to prove that she is attractive. In her eyes, a woman who others are willing to spend money on is attractive. And getting this woman has also proved that he has the ability. At first she was thinking of herself.
Lin, who was going to commit suicide, got unexpected attention. That night, the compliments of being side by side for the first time seemed to have fulfilled her dream of being a princess. She thought that even if the one riding the white horse was not the prince, then the princess would be fine. Pity. So she threw moths into the fire and burned everything. What does she want? I'm thinking too. Is it because Hilby's insatiable lust makes her continue to kill? You say, where do you want to go? You say, what do you want? Well, I will satisfy you. Murder is just a means.
I don't think Shelby will ever have another love. And she couldn't cherish this love. Maybe she can accept her sexual orientation when she returns to the society, maybe she can't but it won't be painful, listen to the words of her parents and listen to the words of the society and try to become a heterosexual, but no matter what, she will no longer have the ability to love. Lynn, will always be a wound.
The film may be used to explore the status of women or disadvantaged groups, how to survive in society without education and work experience. When there is no shame, the body is just a bargaining chip and may not be so painful. I have always been non-discriminatory against sex workers. Wouldn't the ending be different if we could give them another way out. Will Lynn have a decent job and live a peaceful life with her lover in a small apartment?
In the movie, the conversation between Lynn and Shelby on the evidence call is the most touching and I think it is the climax of the whole movie. One person is deliberately trying to get information out, while the other person goes from trusting to doubting and then testing, and finally continues to love and admit everything in despair. Lin chose to destroy herself. In fact, she could have dragged Hilby into the water, and Hilby sold most of the stolen goods! But she didn't. In fact, this is not the same as the result I think. For the love of prostitutes, I think the ending is a lose-lose, just like the decisiveness in "Rouge Buckle".
Shelby can't be so ruthless at all. Yes, her behavior is already ruthless. Her selfishness, the ordinary and peaceful life she pursues, will disappear when she tricks Lin. According to American law, in the case of insufficient witnesses and material evidence, Hilby can completely retreat without cooperating with the police. Even if you don't love Lin, but after all, we have lived together, we don't help but we don't hurt, okay? I think Lin understands her. Lin understands all her fears and all her selfishness. Maybe she loves her to such a height.
I can't figure out why Shilby wants Lin to continue working as a prostitute? And the reason why Lin didn't want to continue working was whether she was loyal to love or just a psychological resistance to abuse.
Lin, who has been suffering all the time, needs a window of release. Shelby gave her hope of living, but it did not completely liberate her. Killing like crazy because so many years of oppression finally broke out? I think killing is always complicated. My brain can't figure it out. And love is always blind, which reminds me of the movie "Love is a bitch".
For love, it is beautiful for both people to give. So so many people are in a relationship, looking for things to quarrel, just to measure their importance. What Hilby wanted to do for Lin was to leave the house, and she herself wanted to escape from that environment.
How heartbroken is it when the person you love the most, who once thought he was the one who saved him, finds himself in court? That's it really, I don't hate you, but we'll never see each other again.
I don't know how many real elements are in the movie, maybe the director just grabbed a detail of the testimony that year and led to such a long story.
But love is always like this, falling in love with a selfish person, and it is so moth to the fire, the ending is always tragic.
Love is so vulnerable and so tenacious.
Lynn, spent the last 12 years in prison. And they never met or spoke to each other again. For Lynn, I couldn't find a better ending for her. But I know Shelby's life won't be great. I hope so too.
Faith can move mountains, but love always flows away.
PS: The protagonist has really sacrificed a lot. I can't imagine that the female lockpicker in "Breaking the Sky" is Charlize Theron!
