Let's talk about Millie. Do you say Millie is excellent? Millie isn't great. This is clearly reflected in her unlovable social situations. Everyone has a heart-to-heart conflict with Millie.
Did Millie know she wasn't liked? She knew a little. But she didn't want to admit it. She worked hard to prepare for the party, and she went to other people's dinner table and invited to swim.
Why does she have to work so hard to prepare the party, go to other people's dinner table and invite to swim, lie to people that she has an appointment, the man is waiting for the party, and she looks like a goddess of social skills? ——It is for PINKY.
What is so special about PINKY to her? - PINKY has a crush on Millie. PINKY's family environment can be roughly seen from her parents' unruly and strange gifts. It is a relatively mysterious and unconventional environment. PINKY has never really entered the society since she was a child. The kind of personality she sees lacking in herself is a quality that Millie fully possesses. Also given age hormones, given Millie's charm, PINKY started to have a crush on Millie. The word infatuation, I interpret here as: more than friendship between women, confused and poisonous affection. PINKY began to read Millie's diary, yearning for Millie's life, infatuated with her, as in the movie "Crack", worried about her every move and blamed herself.
After Millie knew that PINKY was infatuated with herself, she wanted to protect that infatuation. She pushes her social circles hard to make them appear expansive. She also lied to PINKY that she was chased by many men, but in the end she could only bring home a lewd Edgar.
Why did bringing back Edgar cause PINKY to commit suicide? PINKY has been bullied by Millie in many places, but she has been happily accompanying Millie and looking up at Millie, it is precisely because of the infatuation that overwhelms her. There is no mother-daughter relationship here, just an obsession. This infatuation is based on Millie being good enough. Millie was excellent, worthy of obsession, excellent until she brought back Edgar - the obsession was forced to stop, the image was completely destroyed, and the ego was extremely negative. PINKY is a little spiritual child, she can feel the destructiveness of the sullied sanctity, this destructiveness belongs to her earthly crush - Millie, and also her spiritual crush - Willie .
What is the relationship between PINKY and Willie? PINKY does not have her own firmness, she is small, she is a sensitive girl, but she has a terrible spirituality, and it is easy to be infatuated with others and even imitate. Even though PINKY found a place to look up between people and society in Millie, it was not enough to satisfy PINKY's innate spirituality. And Willie just makes PINKY satisfied, aesthetically, mysteriously spiritually satisfied. When PINKY said the first sentence to Willie: "I like your paintings", Willie's expression couldn't help smiling. PINKY and Willie don't say a word, but that's how they communicate. Using patterns, using patterns that reflect the inner world, religiously demonic openness - the communication of the ascendant spirituality (expressions of various images, such as gunshots, motorcycles, police, sick old people, these are not expressed here, This is the height of artistic imagery). PINKY connects Willie and Millie. And Edgar, this diabolical being, as Willie's husband, has sex with Millie again, completely destroying this perfect connection and even closing the circuit. Due to the destruction of her double obsession with beauty, PINKY chose to commit suicide and indulge in that nightmarish pool. PINKY is too spiritual a child, she is determined to die in Willie's drawings, in the imagery of sex, communication, nudity, people and so on.
Why did the three people's personalities have such a huge change after PINKY came back from the dead?
1, PINKY: PINKY chooses to escape the previous pain, forget everything, and get balance. When she returned home, she thought Millie's diary was her own, and after reading it carefully, she slowly became Millie's personality—this was the ending song of her deep-seated infatuation—and she became the object of her infatuation. .
2, Millie. After PINKY committed suicide, Millie seemed to have drank sober medicine (it was only medicine at this time), and felt that she had killed PINKY. First, she feels guilty, second, she wants to protect her obsessed status, cares about PINKY, and is willing to make atonement desperately.
3. Willie. Willie was the first to see PINKY when she was sick. Full of tears. What she pays homage to is the purity of PINKY, the hope for beauty and life, and the resonance with what she draws. Willie pity PINKY so much, because of that kind of cherished by a super-worldly painter. She reappeared when it was time to have a baby.
The three women are tightly linked by the delicateness, infatuation and mutual acquaintance that only belong to women. In the end, the three found what they had to insist on and resist—the existence of Edgar. Millie and Willie escape from Edgar (he is very symbolic) to the quiet and bright room to deliver the child.
Why didn't PINKY call an ambulance? ——Because she regards the scene in front of her as a weird painting - only PINKY can do this. She is full of spirituality that has just been suppressed, but she has not been thoroughly implemented by social customs. She, who had just woken up from a nightmare, was caught off guard by such a situation. She regarded it as a part of the nightmare. She watched and watched, and what she saw was not a human birth, but a ritual of a god. - This is the highest point of her spirituality.
Why did the three people's personalities and positions change dramatically after the child was found to have died?
1. After being slapped with blood by Millie, PINKY has some remorse - her daze and stare have led to the death of the child to some extent.
2. Millie delivered the child with the guilt of having sex with her man and took over the death. This is God's judgment on her, and there is no doubt about it.
3. Willie, as the most psychic existence, her beloved, her spiritual dependence in the world, after PINKY committed suicide, there should be only this mysterious Son who entrusted her inspiration and pain, but it is dead .
It is a living irony that the three face the death of what they seek and look up to together. Here it is possible to sublimate to a higher level of the "Holy Trinity". They are mentally broken and they are going to give up.
PINKY gave up her stubbornness and favoritism and became a protected and obedient girl next door.
Millie gave up her man-dominated indifference to become a protective mom.
Willie gave up her psychic and sharpness to return to being an ordinary, tired woman.
Don't be afraid, this is a woman. No malice, no arrogance - this is the spirituality and infatuation of a woman. When I think about it, I want to associate women with the mysteries of this world.
The above is what this film gave me, the enjoyment of the plot.
