Only netizens like me who have watched them all and have spent the whole night alone can watch it! ! !
I haven't read the book. I read some online analysis, so I will sort it out for the time being. Ask netizens to discuss with me
1. a woman in white
White clothes are holy and noble when worn on the living, especially for women in Western society. The most white clothes in the play is Adora, the perfect hostess, especially when she is taking care of her daughter. Whether it's the sheriff, girlfriend or husband, no one can say no to her. And Camille dared to change from a cheerleader to a self-harming lunatic, driving a broken car that can write on the dust, doing a murder investigation; a fallen daughter like her is undoubtedly a large permanent for the elegant and calm Adora Sexual sustainability and devastating stains continue to stir up the muddy waters and destroy her image. Except for the last time Camille needed her mother. At this time Camille was also forced to wear white pajamas. Adora finally fulfilled her wish for many years to turn her daughter into a supplicant, worshiper and victim of her so-called maternal cruelty. Of course, rather than using white as an analogy, Adora's behavior is more accurately a symptom. If a child has an independent personality and cannot be objectified as a puppet, she cannot be the Virgin in the eyes of others .
Adora is an ordinary noble pervert in white, but Amma is the real ghost. She said she was Persephone, ruled hell with Hades, and imposed severe punishments; but Persephone was tied to hell and spent half of the time in hell every year, and the other half was brought back to the world by her mother Demeter. At the same time, she is also Artemis, the goddess of hunting, and the blood is even more bloody. When Adora could see her, she acted like a weak young girl to occupy all of her mother. The elders thought it was an ordinary girl, but she was the center of power for her peers and had the absolute right to decide. Looking back on what Amma often said, there are two sentences: one is Dont tell mama, and the other is Shut up Jodes-Jodes is one of the little friends who helped her harm Nathalie and Ann. When she seduce Nathalie, she probably wore white clothes and painted her face white with powder, so the little boy with the gun (he was crazy, so poor) saw her.
A pair of dying mother and daughter control each other and control the people around them. It is unimaginable if you don't see the end.
2. The real murderer
The magic of the story is that the symptoms of Adora's control freak are revealed early, while Amma's madness is only hidden in the details. I don’t know how she killed Ann and Nathalie after watching the whole drama, whether Adora knew about it, or whether Alan knew about it (although he knew about Adora), all of this can only rely on the original work and imagination.
About the process and the insider:
There is a very comprehensive analysis based on the original work about the causes and consequences of the assault. First of all, Nathalie and John came to Wind Gap from Philadelphia because Nathalie put scissors in the eyes of classmates. Since then, she has put the sewing needle in Ann's face and bit off the earlobe of John's girlfriend Ashley. The book also says that Amma played with Ann and Nathalie and abused animals in the forest. It was Adora who really cared about Ann and Nathalie, and Amma, out of jealousy, asked her friends to help her commit the crime. First, I lied to Ann that Adora wanted to see her, had to open a Tea party, and used a golf cart (on the Internet, there was a picture of the car in the play, so what, then who could guess that the murder was related to this car) and brought her to Lin. Inside, she painted her nails and shaved her legs, but when Ann felt wrong and wanted to escape, she was pressed directly, and Amma strangled her to death with her clothes. After that, Nathalie was also lured by the same reason for playing a tea party, and was completely killed after torturing for two days.
As for why Ann's bicycle was near the slaughterhouse, and why Nathalie's blood was under Ashley and John's bed, it can only be speculated that the friends planted John together. It is unlikely that Ashley will be involved. Although she may be able to do this to attract attention, she seems to be relatively stupid.
It is generally believed that Amma made new friends after returning to St Louis with Camille, and the little black girl Mae was the third victim. She appeared for the first time. When she was roller skating with Amma, she had that kind of plastic nail polish on her hand. In the scene that flashed back after the ending credits, she was also the first hand that caught the wire fence. There are many clues buried in the dinner of the last episode: Mae admires Frank Curry and Camille very much, and Amma immediately said that she is a kiss ass (subtext: I think you don’t want to live anymore); before going to bed, Amma asked Camille if she wanted to be Writer (Do you love me do you want me to do something so that you will love me). I suspect that Mae wrote in her hand as if she was learning Camille during dinner, and it was Call mom. Does it mean that she had realized that she was in doomsday?
There are also some discussions on racial discrimination: the death of Mae in the play is compared with similar news about the victimization of black American women, and then it is connected to the twisted festival celebrations in the southern town of Wind Gap and the invisible black maid Gaela in the play. It is worthy of recollection, but unfortunately the play itself did not make a practical discussion.
Does Adora know that Amma is the murderer? The pincers belong to her, and the golf cart belongs to her family. Amma is under her strict supervision. She should be very familiar with the doll house with teeth. She is not stupid, but is very accustomed to living in anti-social perversion (she 'S mother), she has meticulously killed a daughter, and her husband follows her desperately, not daring to say one more wrong thing (if you say it, she will be expertly blocked back)-so she can't guess or The possibility of ignorance is very small. Some people think that Adora opposed Camille's investigation and warned Amma to stay away from Camille, perhaps to prevent Amma from being caught and arrested. It's not impossible to think this way. Adora will never show it even if she knows it. After all, as long as she looks decent, she doesn't mind how many people die or who is dead.
The pathologist explained that husbands like Alan are very common around the mothers of patients with Monchosen syndrome, ignoring daily tragedies and surrendering the status of the head of the family. Consider Laura Parler's mother in Twin Peaks, who is indifferent to the behavior of her father Leland. She seemed to be diagnosed as - Judy in the end. The expert also said that although Munchausen’s syndrome is real (it is said that some nurses will take the child away), the possibility that the story of the show will actually happen is very, very small, but there is indeed a 1999 case in which the mother killed Eight out of ten children .
Regarding motivation :
Richard said to the sheriff during the interrogation of John: we were looking at the wrong half. Although he had already speculated that the murderer's motive was a desire for power control, the sheriff and detectives had never considered the female suspect because it was difficult to extract the teeth of the pig. Recall the sentence Or she, don't be sexist, chief from Amma's murder assistant! The time for feminism to save lives has come, and the murderer is right in front of you, a sheriff! It is mentioned on the Internet that the original book says that it is not particularly difficult to extract a teenager’s teeth, and I don’t know who can verify it (verify the original work, do not verify the extraction of a teenager’s teeth).
At the same time, it is said on the Internet that people who have been abused for a long time will confuse abuse and love, and they will also think that the abused object is cared for when they are abused; Amma's behavior is largely inherited from her mother. In addition, some people feel that Amma's attachment to Camille is mixed with sexual impulses.
Envy, possession, power, abuse, love, sex, death. Hey, don't know, who should ask Freud etc.
3. Camille Preaker, a miserable man
Some netizens suspect that Camille's biological father is the sheriff. I'm listening, but it's not. It is said that her dad is just an ordinary idiot who ran away after impregnating her mother.
When Camille told Richard Lin’s story, he believed that what the team members and the cheerleader he chose was a consensus decision reached by both parties, and Richard, as a healthy person who had not been abused, immediately realized this was rape. Camille thinks that she was raped by five boys in the forest. She also participated in the process of being raped by five boys. Just like being popular in school, she wanted to be a strong person, and even if she knew somewhere in her heart that she was a victim, most of them were Under the oppression of the silent structure, the sexually assaulted person will hate himself instead of resenting the perpetrator, which is almost a conditioned reflex.
I don't know if it happened before or after the death of my sister. In short, she has been self-harming since then (except for her apartment, mother’s house, dining table, and car, simple lettering/fonts/self-art) to confirm her existence, but unfortunately witnessed the suicide of her self-harming friend, and she has been saved since then. I used my friend’s cell phone and started listening to music (I didn’t listen to it before). Then she completely separated from Wind Gap, separated from her mother, adopted the isolation method, and denied her past more thoroughly.
The most miserable thing is that she doesn't know, and Curry doesn't know. Although she is extremely brave, she is indeed a miserable victim. She has suffered throughout her life and will continue to suffer again in the play. Returning to Wind Gap to write a report not only slowly discovered the true face of my mother (and Jackie, another miserable person), but also had a miserable story with Richard and John. Finally, after she saved Amma and returned to St Louis, she was still thinking about how to get along with Amma, whether she inherited the mother's proxy Monchosen syndrome, etc. (I was heartbroken when Curry read that paragraph), and found that Amma It is the murderer and the victim +1. A miserable kind and brave character.
Regarding Richard, it is impossible for the two to be together. (On the Internet) The book describes Richard seeing the wound on Camille's neckline and laughing in surprise and saying: What is this? Are you self-harm? Camille immediately understood that this person is not my race. A typical healthy ordinary person, not a bad person, but completely unable to understand what a trauma is. People who are deeply traumatized must have some behaviors that either hurt others or hurt themselves, externalizing or internalizing pain, which is ridiculous, sick, and abnormal in the eyes of ordinary people. Therefore, Camille will eventually be interpreted as slut (pathetic piece of shit). But few people in the world are unharmed.
She has survived such a tragedy on her own, and will continue to endure it all her life. If such a character commits suicide, it is really excusable.
SO SAD.
The structure of the play is meticulous, and the details and white space are more meaningful. Camille's own artistic vocabulary and some words in the lens of the film are not mentioned, so as not to be too long. (For example, when she drove to Wind Gap, the road sign said Last exit to change your mind, and when she first arrived at the police station, Dont be a victim was hung on the wall, etc., "Girls learn to protect themselves". Tsk tusk tusk tusk)
It is also interesting to contrast with Big Little lies. Some people say that if women in big and small lies can gather to provide shelter for each other, sharp weapons are more to show that women destroy each other.
Finally, just a little bit, I can’t figure it out
Where did the hut in the forest come from? ?
That's it, I have a headache thinking about it
Pray.
