After watching the whole film "Sharp Tool", I was particularly impressed by the lens switching of the whole film, especially the previous episodes. Some recurring scenes, the rotation of the fan, the scene of the two sisters playing roller skating, and the scenes of Camille Girls' Generation soaking in the pond, all give the viewer a sense of psychedelic poetry. Under the lens of director Jean-Marc Valet , even if there has been a murder, the exquisite interior decoration, the lazy time, the hormone-filled body, and the unruly youth make me yearn for this small town. The original "Sharp Tool" is the author of "Gone Lover" Gillian Flynn . By watching the adapted film, it makes people feel that she is a writer with a very delicate writing style, and she patiently digs deep into the hidden characters of the characters. The other side, which makes people feel nervous and uneasy, is presented to the viewer in an extreme way, thus triggering the viewer's thinking.
Because of her work, Camille needs to return to the place where she grew up - Fengkou Town . Because of the death of her younger sister and the suicide of her partner when she was young, she is avoiding the memories that make her feel heartbroken. Camille's family is a representative of the upper-class family in capital society, a beautiful wife, an elegant husband, a well-behaved and obedient daughter, and a seemingly enviable harmonious family. Driven by the plot, people can see that this is also a sick person. family.
The women in Fengkou Town are eager to be the focus of the town. They are extremely vain and are extremely afraid of their reputation being damaged. When Odora learns that her daughter is because of the murder of a girl who has made a lot of noise in the town, she returns to track it down. After the report, her attitude has changed greatly. She made her husband Allen act as a harlequin to imply that Camille should leave Fengkou Town. She daily told her youngest daughter Emma to stay away from her sister, and bluntly told Camille that she had never loved her. And all that Odora did was to fear that the reappearance of Camille would make the perfect family that she worked so hard to do all over again - Camille's various moves made the family fall into the tongues of the town's people. Aldora is the most powerful party in this family. The further back he looks at the development of the later episodes, Allen watched Aldora Pharmaceuticals manage Camille, implying that Aldora is enough and the human body has the function of self-healing. Perhaps Allen questioned Odora's behavior, but now he is cooperating with Odora to stage a "play". Odora yearns for praise from the outside world, but she doesn't know that she has surrogate Munchausen disease , always fantasizes that her child is sick, and has always believed that her daughter can only be cured through her own treatment. Marianne tragically dies in the care of her mother who had a "Madonna episode" , and Camille's rebellion saves her own life.
And Emma grew up in such a family. On the surface, she was an extremely well-behaved girl, but she also became a very jealous and cruel person. She enjoyed her mother's fantasies of taking care of her when she was ill, and she would not allow anyone to share her mother's excessive care. Emma's two former partners are the two girls killed in the report. It was Odora who cared for them (these cares also praised Odora after everyone saw it), and Emma joined her companions to kill them. Both of them. She is similar to Odora in that she is too self-centered, even if she left Fengkou Town and followed Camille to live in the city, because her new friend was praised by Camille and became Emma's next prey. The camera captured the momentary pleasure after her murder, the kind of adrenal stimulation that could not be felt in the perfect family created by Odora.
“Let’s get out of here.”
Compared with the "people from the town" - Camille, Fengkou Town is like a frog in warm water, without any resistance. Because in the face of the death of her sister and her companions and failed to save or prevent their deaths, the act of self-mutilation may be to alleviate the guilt she subconsciously gave herself. Drinking and listening to music are a temporary escape from this fucking world.
When Camille realized that Odora was the culprit who killed Marian, she couldn't accept it. It was unacceptable because Jack , Odora's friend who knew Marian's medical treatment best, knew that Marian didn't have any disease, but Odora did not stop her from "taking care" of Marianne, which indirectly led to Marianne's death. Silence towards evil was an accomplice. In the ending, Camille pretended to be unwell so that Marianne once again applied to Camille by taking care of Marianne. Fortunately, the appearance of Camille's boss did not make Camille the second Marian, and then Odora was charged and imprisoned. Inside.
In fact, when she learned that Odora was the murderer of her sister, she could have a showdown with Odora and cut off the mother-daughter relationship. She didn't, but after returning home, she proposed to bring Emma to live together in the city, but was rejected by the Odora couple. Whether it is to protect Emma and finally block his own life and stage a situation of righteous killing of relatives, this is a matter of opinion.
But what is certain is that the whole process from returning to Fengkou Town to learning the cause of Marianne's death was a process of self-salvation for Camille.
It seems that this phenomenon of mental illness caused by the influence of the original family is not uncommon now. These mental illnesses have brought an irreversible situation to the parties involved. As a parent, you must be kind.
