Two women appeared on the terrace at night, with long hair and the same white clothes, they almost thought they were twins, but no, they were two mothers and daughters. The daughter has inherited her mother's beauty and artistic talent, and if all goes well, she will become an artist in a few years. However, something unexpected happened, the mother was imprisoned, and the girl was taken care of by a government agency.

I read some other people’s film reviews online. Most of them say that this is a story of a girl’s growth and transformation, but I don’t think the focus is here. The key is: the girl realizes that her beauty has a power to destroy everything, and it is close to her and her in prison. A beautiful mother can be hurt.

At first she unconsciously used this ability to capture the boyfriend of the hostess of the foster home, and from this incident, she got a gunshot wound and left the family; even after the welfare Courtyard, her beauty still often gave her trouble, so she cut her hair herself, and in the words of another boy: you are still beautiful. Two talented young men fell in love. When they sat under the bridge, Leaning against the whole sky, I couldn't help crying. The

girl was adopted again. This time it was a star, and after a good time, she slowly discovered that the family has its problems too. In the end, the hostess committed suicide.

She went back to the orphanage again, and this time, she made up her mind not to approach those good people, even the boy she loved.

She chose a woman who seemed to be very low-level and started working Selling old clothes. She makes herself look like a bad girl, but she never gives up her paintbrush.

She dresses up like a solicitor to visit her mother, this tough woman is planning to appeal. Hope her daughter can do it for her The relationship between the two mothers and daughters is very delicate. She may not be a competent mother, and perhaps because of jealousy, she indirectly influenced those who adopted her daughters to destroy them, but the mother-daughter relationship finally prevailed. The

girl decided to take control of her own. The first step in life is to find the boy. They are reunited, so happy. At this time, she suddenly realized that she had missed her mother's court appearance, and her mother did not force herself. Due to the lack of witnesses, the case was not Not overthrown, she returned to prison, in which she is still an artist with a beautiful self, still often on the cover of magazines. And the girl, also has her own life. Ashura is back on the right track.

White Oleander quotes

  • Astrid: How long were you gone?

    Ingrid: About a year, give or take a few months.

    Astrid: My God.

    Ingrid: You're not asking the right question. Don't ask me why I left. Ask me why I came back.

    Astrid: You should have been sterilized.

    Ingrid: I could have left you there, but I didn't. Don't you understand? For once, I did the right thing! When I came back, you knew me. You were sitting by the door, and you looked up, and you reached for me. It was as if you had been waiting for me all along.

    Astrid: I was always waiting for you, mother. That's the constant in my life. Waiting for you. Will you come back? Will you forget that you tied me in front of a store or left me on a bus?

    Ingrid: Are you still waiting?

    Astrid: No. I stopped when Claire showed me what it felt like to be loved. What did you think, that I would amuse you? That's what babies are like, mother. What'd you think? We'd exchange thoughts on Joseph Brodsky?

    Ingrid: I thought Klaus and I would live happily ever after. That's what I thought, Adam and Eve in a vine-covered shack. I must have been out of my mind.

    Astrid: You were in love with him.

    Ingrid: YES, I was in love with him. ALRIGHT? I was in love with him, and baby makes three, and all that crap!

    Astrid: Then why did you leave him? Why did you leave him?

    Ingrid: I didn't leave him! He left me. You wanna know about your father? He left us when you were six months old for another woman, and I never saw him again until he showed up looking for you when you were eight years old.

    Astrid: He came to see me?

    Ingrid: Yes, he came to see you but it was a little late, wasn't it? Why should I let him see you after what he did to me?

    Astrid: Because it wasn't about you! It was about me, and I wanted to see him! My whole life, I've wanted to see him. That decision was MINE, not yours. Everything's always been about you, never about me. I knew you were gonna kill Barry, but you didn't even care. You didn't give a damn about what that would do to me. I'll say whatever Susan wants me to say, but I gotta get outta here.

    Ingrid: No! No, no, no. You don't just walk away from me. I made you, I'm in your blood. You don't go anywhere until I let you go!

    Astrid: Then let me go. You look at me and you don't like what you see, but this is the price, mother. The price of belonging to you.

    Ingrid: If I could, I'd take it all back. I would.

    Astrid: Then tell me you don't want me to testify. Tell me you don't want me like this. Tell me you would sacrifice the rest of your life to have me back the way I was.
