Sadness flows like river

When I first watched "Beautiful Bad Baby", I never thought that it would be associated with the word sadness. I just thought it was purely a story of how a 15-year-old girl played with everyone in the palm of her hand. The plot is like opening a gift. Uncover your doubts layer by layer, step by step towards the girl's conspiracy, until the last minute, you will not feel sorry for the girl.
The 15-year-old Kimberley has a delicate face, a precociously developed body, a wealthy family background, superb intelligence, and boyfriends who are ready to go. It can be said to be a collection of thousands of favorites, the only thing is imperfect. The place should be that her family is not warm, her father is a sloppy explosive household, and her stepmother is a professional "vase". Such a girl who is extremely confident in herself wants to be an actor like all the young American girls who want to become an actor. In order to increase her "advantage", Kimberley incites good friends Brittany and Randa to sue the three of them for unanimous hatred. Mr. Anderson, it seemed that it was just a girl's conspiracy. Under Kimberley's direction, the situation intensified and finally failed. However, it was discovered that it was the result that Kimberley wanted. Another conspiracy was implicit in the conspiracy.
When I first saw the horror poster, I thought that the film would have a gray and gloomy tone. Unexpectedly, the face painting was very bright, like the afternoon sun.
The film unfolds calmly with playful jazz music, relaxing the cordon you originally set, and then the sexy-dressed girls in a fascinating posture-sitting with legs crossed, the camera seems to be in a low V intentionally or unintentionally. The collar stayed on the chest for a while, so we completely relaxed. This is an American campus movie.
The camera moves one by one in the row of girls. One of the seats is empty, with a pair of white sneakers. It looks out of place among the group of showy sexy girls, but we quickly ignored it because the camera switched to the heroine Kimberley twist. Moving his body and auditioning for the TV set, the camera slowly pulled back. Kimberly was dancing with eyes like silk, wearing a pair of black strappy high heels, which felt like an ordinary girl outside. After the dance, when she asked someone to wear these shoes? My feet are crippling me. Obviously, Kimberly is the owner of the out-of-fit pair of white sneakers, which is different from other invented Xingmeng girls.
What's the difference? Before I had time to think about it, the video revealed its trump card. Kimberly is a student, at the Beverly Hills School with strict discipline and full of rich children. She usually wears a conservative school uniform with white stockings on her feet, a female student who cannot be more orthodox.
With the development of the plot, we got to know Kimberley’s two close friends, a girl from Canada, Brittany, who is as beautiful as Kimberley and wants to be an actor, but without Kimberley’s self-confidence and Kimberley’s alluring charm. When talking, the body can't help shaking, like a pure white rabbit. The other is Randa, a Middle Eastern girl who has just arrived at school. She is quiet and does not like to talk. She retains the traditional concept of Arab women in her mind. The most obvious feature is the white turban on her head. Of course, there are Mr. Anderson, who has a normal appearance and a little cowardly character, and ambitious lesbian journalists who want to become famous in one fell swoop, stupid, knowing that Kimberley is only a technical boyfriend, Barrie, Kimberley’s ex-boyfriend, and Brittany’s. Boyfriend Joey, a foul-mouthed and rude father, is about his age and tries to control Kimberley’s father’s third wife. Kimberley’s biological mother who did not want to show up but was scolded as a prostitute, loves Kimberley, but starts the story. The elder brother who died on the battlefield in Iraq.
People who survive in such an environment are either weak in character or strong in life. From the most gloomy group in the film-family dinner, we can see that Kimberley belongs to the latter, and Kimberley will play Anne. The news tells her father that at that moment, she definitely hoped to be praised by her father. The first time her father ignored it, it was her stepmother who took the conversation. So Kimberley said the original words again, and her father responded, but she was full of words about the company. Dirty, if it's Brittany, if it's Randa, what will happen to them? I think it was silent and bowed my head to continue dinner. But Kimberly did not. She immediately fought back. She pointed to her stepmother and said, "When you fuck my dog, it wants to be like this (dog moans)".
She didn’t need people’s heartache from beginning to end, and her mother was indifferent to herself. Even a minute of phone calls felt long. She asked Barry to vent her anger and desire; Mr. Anderson changed Kimberly’s Anne role according to the principal’s will. Kimberley’s reason for pleading looked contemptuous. Kimberley folded his arms and left "I will not forget" and left; Kimberley danced but was scolded by Joey as a slut, Kimberley immediately slapped him; Randa Shooting suicide, Kimberley played the violin sadly, and even asked his father to accompany him. He was rudely refused. In the end, Kimberley cruelly fed the drugs to the puppy; when Kimberley was packing up and leaving, Brittany appeared. At that moment, Kimberley was very happy, but when he learned that Brittany had come to prove that Kimberley intentionally framed her, Kimberley was injured, but soon hardened his heart, ruthlessly exposing all the evil thoughts. These are the five places where Kimberley has injured expressions in the film, but every time, even if she hurts herself, she has to fight back again, and for the last time, she even loses her only friend.
Why is Brittany the only friend? In the film, Kimberley only communicated with two female students, Brittany and Randa, and both of them are immigrants. It is quite difficult for immigrant students to integrate into the local small circle. , Unless that person has no friends, Kimberley should have no friends before Brittany appeared. But this "girlfriend" stole her boyfriend. If it were just an ordinary boy, it would not affect the friendship between the two, but this boy was Joey, who had despised her as a prostitute. Kimberley can be insulted as a thief, sex fanatic, or poisonous woman, but cannot be called a "prostitute" because her father has always scolded his mother as a prostitute. This term is unforgivable for Kimberley. Since you call me a prostitute, then I will turn the perfect angel in your heart into a prostitute. Ever since, a conspiracy began.
Kimberley incited Brittany and Randa, who were also dissatisfied with Mr. Anderson, to surrender his right to anonymity to sue Mr. Anderson for sexual harassment. The process went smoothly at the beginning. Kimberley’s calm and natural expression and well-designed lines deceived everyone. When we mourned the misfortune of poor Mr. Anderson, the situation turned around 360°. The country’s best barrister in sexual harassment cases joined Mr. Anderson’s defense. The case received unprecedented attention. Brittany, who could not bear the pressure, was in the barrister’s department. The interrogation action of buckling the suit, adjusting the cuffs, adjusting the tie, rubbing the hands back and forth slightly, and smiling, the whole brain was poured out, and the conspiracy was exposed. However, Kimberley savored the loneliness of victory, and Anderson was always trapped by the taint of sexual harassment. Lietany became the prostitute in Joey's eyes, and Kimberly became famous.
"The world is like an official band, and I am the conductor." She planned to sue Mr. Anderson. It was she who used sex to seduce Josh to persuade the barrister's father to help Anderson and change the outcome of the case. She was the same sex temptation. A lesbian reporter, filming the DV, threatened her to continue to defend herself. It is true that Kimberley played with everyone. She retaliated against everyone who was sorry for her, except for Randa’s death because of which she controlled, but "Every war has a reason, ask my brother", Randa was killed by "friendly gunfire" just like her brother. But when she cruelly said to Brittany: "The reputation is overestimated, it is very short, sadness, sadness is forever", isn't it talking to herself? Breaking with her father and moving to her mother who doesn't love her, the earth in Beverly Hills will still turn, Kimberley will soon be forgotten, but Randa is dead, and Brittany will never forgive her for the rest of her life.
In the last few minutes of the film, Kimberley was holding the remote control and constantly changing the radio station. Annie smiled sluttyly, as if she was herself; "It's like a carnival, shoot at the ducks, know? They line up in line, and in turn, you have you Own blessing spear, bang bang bang" The campus murderer calmly recounted the process of the crime, staring at him with cold eyes, as if saying that you are not the same, the murderer, but they were revenge by themselves. They were not like ducks. Lined up and did not resist; "My family came here for the American Dream, we only have nightmares", the painful complaint of Randa's father at the funeral; Annie twisted her body to dance, the kind she danced to Joey that night Go-go. Kimberley's tears blurred his vision, isn't he the innocent and attractive Annie? If Joey didn’t insult herself that night, and if Joey treated herself as Annie that night, maybe she wouldn’t retaliate, maybe Randa would not die, maybe Brittany was still a friend, maybe nothing happened. It will happen...
Thinking back to the past, sad, flowing upstream.
