The Australian movie starring Oscar "Fat Win" Kate Winslet.
The female director Jocelyn Moorehouse, Liam Hemsworth, Judy Davis and Hugo Weaving are all from Australia. This is a movie with very local characteristics, and the movie also gains box office and honor in the local area.
The story takes place in the small town of Tang Gorda in the 1950s. Tilly, a tailor who was sent away from her hometown in her childhood, returns from Europe. And Kate, who has a retro temperament and is from England, fits this role very well. She is dazzlingly dressed and has an extraordinary temperament. "I'm back, bastards."
From smoking when getting out of the car, to acknowledging the police detective , she has a royal sister's temperament. Her return drew discussions from people in the small town. The murderer, the “wicked girl” who was exposed to clothes and behaved differently from ordinary people aroused everyone’s resentment and jealousy. ), but she brought beautiful costumes and outstanding craftsmanship, which is very popular among women.
But can this be accepted and welcomed by them? She has not lived happily in the small town. Maybe she thought the craftsmanship she brought could be recognized by everyone. She helped the ugly girl to become beautiful and find the wishful man, but after the girl became beautiful, she was ungrateful.
The closed town lacks care and understanding. They do not know the truth and rely on their feelings to act. They make irresponsible remarks. The film slowly unfolds a dusty past in the interest of the movie, thus portraying those ugly images that care about each other's accusations.
——The feeling of being close to the hometown is more timid, and the
sentence of not dare to ask someone has a different explanation. The heroine is not only worried about the condition of her mother, but in fact, are the people in the small town a threat? They regard the heroine Tilly as a "wicked woman", but are the people in the small town really evil?
Smart tailors tailor their clothes and put on gorgeous costumes for ugly people, but what is glamorous is only the appearance, rooted in the nature of the body, but it can never be changed.
As the heroine's mother said: "You come back and think that I need you, but you actually need me. But I want you to be sent away and not come back."
Tilly was framed for not killing. Although the teacher’s testimony was absurd, the mother who was abandoned by the man did not receive sympathy and care and was rejected by others. The man whom the hostess loved died accidentally to prove that she was not cursed, and the bereaved wife was killed. Her husband deceived, the guards with transvestite dared not be an elderly doctor who feared losing his official position and had a treacherous heart...
All this seemed to indicate a victory for the "curse", and what she got back home was not "returning wealth." She saw through the pedantic and ignorant, boring and cruel of the people in her hometown.
The ending of everyone in the town is quite dramatic and full of metaphors. The kind-hearted mother Molly and her boyfriend Teddy died, the transvestite guards finally revealed themselves, the vicious teacher was sent away, the husband who concealed his wife was killed, the wicked doctor drowned, and Mrs. A was addicted to drug snacks. A group of people who went to the show Back to the burnt township. Before her boyfriend Teddy was alive, she said that she would marry Tilly and take her out of here, but the death of the heroine's loved ones (boyfriend and mother) arranged in the movie made her even more carefree and pave the way.
Mother Molly said to everyone in the town: "His death is to prove that his love for her far exceeds your hatred."
After all the misfortunes, Tilly finally despaired and saw clearly, she also changed. She had to be brave and not surrendered to the fate of being "cursed." She wore a black hat and dressed up again. Finally, she no longer forbeared and gave up. She spreading silk and satin not only allowed the fire to the villages and towns, it seemed that the protagonist on the red carpet was also a personal person. The sublimation, burn revenge with a handful of fire. When the last conductor saw a fire and said: "Probably they were burning garbage, but they did a little too much." The
heroine: "You haven't seen real garbage."
There are actually many stories like this, played by Gao Yuanyuan. "Search" was tortured by speech, Saoirse Ronan's "Brooklyn" shopkeeper was bitter, and "The Beautiful Legend of Sicily" played by Monica Bellucci was rejected by the townspeople. Juliet ·Binoche's "Chocolate" was regarded as an ominous woman, and "Dogtown" played by Nicole Kidman was insulted and bullied.
And this black comedy, coupled with factors such as fashion, love, revenge, Kate Winslet’s wonderful interpretation, and the support of the supporting actors, Kate once again staged a sibling love with his 15-year-old younger brother (previously there were "Reader"), the beard-bearded brother and sister Kate are in good tune. The film has not yet been released in North America. I hope that it will be nominated for the Golden Globes Yinxi heroine (Oscars are temporarily not arrogant). The combination of retro dress and Australian style is refreshing.
This kind of story is still going on. Do you think the glory of returning to your hometown is actually the "hometown" that you can't go back to. It's the "murderous intent" that is all over the place.
Do you still want to tolerate and make concessions? No, the final revenge in the film is the delightful one.
