Deformed inner world

Simply put, this movie is about the inner world of a deformed young man. The crowd around Jimmy laughed at him and was scared. He has lived in a world of his own since he was a child (in the film he is taking pictures of himself, the doll), he has a different understanding and appreciation of various things from ordinary people, and He longed for people's approval and love in his heart.

One night he accidentally discovered that a group of unhealthy teenagers brutally burned a father and son to death. The fear in his heart made him unwilling to face the facts, so he imagined that the bad boy was a group of monsters. What the little girl said in the TV news resonated with what he thought. Later, he imagined that the little girl would stay with him all the time and call him "Dad".

When Jimmy's mother was brutally killed in front of him, Jimmy was on the verge of collapse. When Jimmy’s only friend, AJ, was dismembered, Jimmy collapsed completely. He imagined that he had a deal with the devil (it could also be the battle between goodness and evil in Jimmy’s heart), and the devil eliminated his scars. Aroused the repressed cruelty in Jimmy's heart (the bishop's dialogue in the film is Jimmy's inner thoughts).

At this moment, Jimmy and the girl he had always had a crush on met. The girl didn't care about Jimmy's ugliness and fell in love with him. At the same time, Jimmy's repressive cruelty prompted him to brutally kill a male prostitute. Jimmy's heart is nostalgia for love on the one hand, and hatred for the world on the other. At the end of the film, the unexpected death of his girlfriend made Jimmy wake up from his illusion. He personally killed the murderer of his mother and fought with the bad boys. In the end, although they were burned to death, he was also in the fire. Completed the self-salvation of the soul.

    After reading it, I found that it is not all nonsense, but the environment rendering is actually a bit strange, and the songs are very good, and it seems that Jim sings them all.

    Magical realism, or surrealism, came out after 15 years by British geek Philip Ridley (1964). The last two feature films were The Passion of Darkly Noon (1995) and The Reflecting Skin (1990).

Heartless quotes

  • Weapons Man: Ah, my wife would like that... She's got me to redecorate our bathroom. Wife wants it done out with gold taps and marble floor. That's fake gold and marble, needless to say. Still cost a fucking arm and a leg, though. Not to my taste. Looks like the fucking Palace of Versailles, want my opinion. Soaks herself morning, noon and night. Lavender and Bergamot bubble bath. She says, "I feel like Marie Antoinette." I said, "Well, you know what happened to her, don't ya?" She don't. She will. I've made plans. Certain kid I know's a dab hand with a chainsaw. Beautiful weapon. And talking of weapons... Business!

  • Jamie Morgan: Digital photography is a rough sketch... but film? Film is like...

    Tia: Caravaggio!

    Jamie Morgan: Exactly!
