Creator Julie is driven by two mutually explicit and implicit motives, one is to discover and experience real feelings and inject them into her creative projects, and the other is to dispel her own privileged guilt. Julie has two destinations, one is Sunderland, where she can shake her privilege and guilt by creating stories there, even though she doesn't know how to "know my privilege"; and the other is Anthony, who she doesn't want to admit in the process of interacting with him The thing is, she enjoys the noble life with him, and at the same time she can forget her privilege and guilt. What she didn't get in Sunderland was the core, the answer, of her creative project; in Anthony, she expected a real pain that kept her from being able to leave the narcissistic personality disorder. But she eventually used her own desire to fold the two together.
The above is the creative structure from the creator's point of view. But from the point of view of critics, is such a creative approach sincere enough? From being inspired by Sunderland to the final completion of her creation, Julie neither recorded the lives of the Sunderland people, nor even the spiritual core of the work was taken from the world of the Sunderland people. Julie's films are academic enough to be student films. Joanna's films are also enough to show her narcissistic personality, although this is also common for artists.
