An analysis of the story line
The play has two threads intertwined, light and dark. The newspaper's boss sent Camile Camille to investigate the murder of a girl in her hometown "Wind Gap", which was a bright line in the first episode . However, the refusal revealed in Camile's words, and the clip of Flash back on the way she drove back, all showed that Fengkou Town was painful and unwilling to contact the heroine. The painful memories of Camile's childhood are dark lines. When the heroine kept collecting evidence and visiting old friends in order to write reports, the old scars on her body were slowly uncovered and exposed to the eyes of the audience.
2. Character Analysis
The invaluable part of the weapon is the diverse depiction of female images. Women's pain is no longer because of what men do, but because of their own emotions.
Camille Camille: Poor mistress. She is in the original family sisters? The role of rebel and rebel among the two. In her childhood, she was not the good girl that her mother liked, but she was frank and wild. The death of her sister Marianne completely changed her. Her broken family led her through a frantic and painful youth. In episode 6, Camille high school classmates used cherries as a metaphor for youth: "We were so shiny. Luscious on the outside. But on the inside there's that dark, hard pit. Dark hardcore." That's the best description of Camile in his youth.
PS: Mention here the house in the forest that keeps appearing in the film . It is filled with pictures of animal flesh and sex, which is full of symbolism: violence and sexuality are the power that some teenagers seek to master, and the source of some people's youthful pain. Some people are excited about it, some people are uneasy about it. I don't think it's necessary to delve into its authenticity. She has always blamed herself for her sister's death, used self-mutilation to vent her pain and remind herself, and wrote letters on her body to remind herself, to find her own sense of belonging, and to confirm her own existence. Also use alcohol to numb the ego and escape from reality. Fortunately, the boss and his wife of the newspaper office were very kind to her and helped her with psychotherapy to a certain extent.
Adora Odora: Adora is the descendant of the country nobility, retains a very serious traditional concept, she has a strong desire to control the people around her. Especially interesting for her psychoanalysis. First of all, she has a double mental illness herself. Lack of mother's care in childhood made her suffer from **"Munchausen Syndrome"**. This story has been mentioned many times in the TV series. One night Adora's mother suddenly woke her up from her sleep, just because she was afraid that she would die in her sleep. It is the lack of love and hatred of her mother that makes her want to be the perfect mother who loves others.
When this kind of psychology is extremely magnified, it makes her suffer from "Agent Munchausen Syndrome". Her well-behaved, easily manipulated daughters, Marian and Amma, are both targets of her abuse. She used rat poison to make her own secret recipe "Blue Potion" to make her daughter sick or even die? To satisfy her perverted desire for love, it also indirectly caused Camile's psychological trauma.
Amma: She's the most surprising character on the show, and the final twist really surprised me! I TM was terrified! If Adora is a pervert in white, then Amma is a murderous ghost hiding in the shadows. She calls herself Persephone, the queen of the underworld, who spends 1/3 of the time in the underworld every year, and spends the rest of the time with her mother on earth. Amma is a modern-day queen of the underworld. She is the queen of the underworld who controls the power among her peers, and the image of a weak and good girl when she is by her mother's side. She has a character that worries about gains and losses, and has a strong possessiveness towards those around her, both for Adora and Camile. Adora killed her friends Anna and Natalie because she was jealous of her concern for them. Strangled Anna with a clothesline and exposed her body in the creek, and pulled out all Natalie's teeth. Even after living with Camile, he was jealous that the little black girl Mae got everyone's attention. Camile hates Aroda, Amma doesn't. The morbid possessiveness of her mother allows her to accept that she is being poisoned. In the play, Camile asked her to go to Richard for help, but she responded, "I'm sorry, I can only be my mother's doll." Even when the police took her mother away, she was reluctant. From the phrase "Don't tell mama" she often says, it can be seen that she attaches great importance to maintaining a good image in front of her mother. Mother and daughter who have morbid feelings for each other, I look stunned...
Alan Allen: The biggest feeling this product gives me is cowardice. He knew that his wife had poisoned his daughter, but he turned a blind eye and helped cover it up. I was upset that the sheriff often came to the house to talk to his wife, but he could only be secretly angry. It feels like he should be coveting Adora's money and ease of life. In the show, he stays at home all day without work. He uses music to escape reality and paralyze himself. These rich equipment are also bought with Adora's money. How ironic that Adora chose him just to have a baby with a man. Alan is an objectified male here, reduced to a reproductive tool by a female.
