Dangerous Flower of Freedom Comments on "Picnic on the Edge of the Cliff" The film unfolds in a beautiful scenery, accompanied by disturbing and dangerous music, which seems to cast a shadow over the scenery in front of you. Then we saw Miranda's face, she was like a sleeping angel, white and beautiful, the camera did not change and move, we were attracted by the beautiful girl, and the uneasiness also faded away. This is a girls' school, and the female students who go to school here have good family conditions, either rich or expensive, such as Miranda. It is precisely because of this that the school can be maintained and provide a good or even superior environment. But there are exceptions. Like Sara, she was born an orphan and can go to school here. She is supported by her guardian, but her guardian has disappeared for half a year. The principal is also dissatisfied with this girl who is studying and living here for free, which is of course, because the operation of this school cannot be separated from the support of money. On a sunny day, the teachers took the students out for a picnic. This was a chance for a short-lived freedom. These young girls were excited, and they were going to the Heine Cliff, a place with a beautiful but dangerous name. The carriage was dusty all the way, and amid the bumpy footage and the mysteriously disturbing music, we knew what was bound to happen there. On the one hand, there is a leisurely picnic time in the sun, and on the other hand, Sara is fixed at the table and asked to recite a poem she thinks "meaningless". Although Sara is trapped indoors, her heart is moving towards freedom, love, and writing poetry by herself. She is innocent, romantic, and stubborn. As an orphan, she lacked and needed company, and Miranda said to her, "You need more than my company." Indeed, she also needed family affection, and she never forgot her younger brother. When she learned that Miranda was missing, she had no When she was frightened, she threw herself on the bed and muttered her brother's name. At the last moment before Miranda and others disappeared, the three girls walked forward without hesitation, as if they were bewitched, ignored, lost their minds, and it was freedom that summoned them, but freedom is dangerous, "chasing" freedom made them pay the price. The whole film is presented in oil painting-like colors. Whether in the shooting of the environment or in the design of the characters, we all feel the beauty and poetry of appreciating Monet and Van Gogh's Impressionist paintings. The headmaster's black dress, the girls' white dresses, the colors of the clothes are echoing the owner of the clothes. The principal is an old woman in her 50s or 60s, her hair is full of silver threads, and she is meticulous in grooming. She has knowledge, status, and money. Although she is engaged in education, she has the mind of a businessman. Not only did she not have the soft heart of a girl, she also didn't have the teacher's affection for caring and caring for her students. Facing the unease and confusion of the girls, and the helplessness of Sara, she didn't care. She is dressed in black, cold and realistic, inhaling the light of seven colors, giving no hope. The disappearance of Miranda and others also made her worry and fear, but what she cared about was the reputation of the school and the status and wealth it brought, not the life and death of the students. The white clothes of the students are a beautiful scenery line in the film. In the vast green, brown rocks, yellow sand, white and clear, it brings a sense of visual and psychological relaxation to the audience, just like a vibrant girl. The vigor and vitality brought to the closed and heavy schools, bare, hard cliffs. However, white also represents "bondage", which is not only the bondage of school etiquette rules, but also the bondage of the secular (girl) women. The teenager said, "In the UK, girls as big as them are not allowed to go out alone." Before the picnic set off, the principal also warned to "pay attention to your etiquette." When Emma was found and rescued and was about to leave school and return to Europe, she wore a red cape to say goodbye to her classmates. In the classroom, the contrast between red and white was the contrast between unshackled and restrained. Emma launched the attack. The loss of the corset also symbolizes the breaking of a layer of bondage. Emma seems to be someone who has tasted "freedom". She puts on a warm red, no longer looks like a pure and flawless angel, but looks more like a A girl with love and passion, "Freedom" unleashes her passion. Only Emma was recovered. Miranda and another girl are still missing. They are lost in the pursuit of freedom, while Sara is further bound, from a closed school to an even colder closed orphanage. At the beginning of the film, Sara and Miranda talk about love, poetry and distance together, and Miranda brings her warmth and hope. When Miranda disappeared and she was sent back to the orphanage, Sara lost the "light" in her life, like she was sitting alone on the cold dark stairs, her heart had been thrown away Abandoned in despair, she went to death. The ancients said, "Those who don't know are innocent." If she didn't know about "love" and "freedom", and she didn't feel the beauty of "love" and "freedom", Sara might not end her life, or she might. Like a younger brother, he became a maid in a certain family and lived a normal life. But a life without "love" and "freedom" is nothing but a miserable life. In a sense, Miranda and the missing girl and Sara are all "free", but the presentation is not good, inexplicable disappearance, desperate death. Freedom is just a flower on the top of the cliff. It is fragrant and beautiful, and it is extremely tempting. It is a dangerous flower of freedom.
