Last night I consciously watched IELTS completely without status, and accidentally picked out "Heavenly Creatures" from a lot of films that I hadn't had time to watch since I bought it. In fact, I didn't know anything about this film before. After the Play, I realized that it was something Peter Jackson shot in 1994. At the beginning of the film, the quick cut of a group of shots opened the door of your thinking to a faint and light leak. The magical colors in the whole film are undoubtedly Peter's techniques and styles that he is familiar with since then. Compared with his "The Lord of Rings" a few years ago, this kind of magic is even more bizarre and alternative. It can be said that it is a high-level idea within the body and above the brain, rather than relying on the rendering of complex structures and plots and perfect magical vision. Is it more natural? Or is it more pretentious? In fact, there are only three kinds of people in this world, geniuses, lunatics and normal people. In fact, geniuses and lunatics are the same kind of people, and there is no difference in essence.
This is a fancy film that gives full play to fantasy and imagery charm. The background of the story is New Zealand in the 1950s. The protagonists are Pauline and Juliet, two girls in Christchurch. Although they are not from different social classes, they also like literature and Mario Lansa's charming and enchanting singing. They live in the romantic and boundless world of girls all day long, but their parents find that they have homosexual tendencies and insist on them. Separate. In order to remove the obstacles between them, Pauline and Juliet conspired to set up a situation and attacked Pauline's mother in the park.
Is this a story about the beautiful fourth space that belongs only to these two girls, or is it a plot story that belongs to the subject of mother-killing, or is it one of the so-called classic pull films? In fact, I have always been very vague about the definition of gay movies. Just like that time I discussed with Mr. Qiu whether "Broken Moutain" is a gay movie. Although Ang Lee has publicly denied it, in fact we think Brokeback Mountain is a gay movie through and through, because you can't replace any of these two men with a woman and maintain the logical rationality and smoothness of the storyline. In "Heavenly Creature", Peter explained Pauline and Juliet's friendship and mixed their fantasy world with a surging scene. Are they having sex in bed? Are they dating in their own fourth space? Is it in the fantasy world of princesses and princes? Or are they just making love with their souls? They are just children with proud and innocent souls. They are summoned by the magic of art, not surrendering to the restrictions of religious beliefs, and because of the difference in class background and gender convergence of the two girls, the story is naturally dramatic. It seems that these two girls are children with a post-modern spirit. Pauline planned to kill the mother just because he wanted to clear the obstacles and be with Juliet, or because the contradictions and imbalances that focused on him require a breakthrough and release outlet, I can't judge. But at least maybe only a fifteen-year-old boy can practice all this with his own hands. When Pauline and Juliet took turns smashing their mother's head with big bricks wrapped in long stockings, it meant that everything was over. It doesn't really matter why it is such a clumsy murder weapon with large bricks wrapped in long stockings. The important thing is that everything is over.
It is said that this film is based on a real case that occurred in Victoria Park on June 23, 1954. After the two were in prison, they were successively released on parole because they were under the legal age, but the condition was that the two would never see each other again. After that, Juliet returned to England to become a famous detective novelist, while Pauline left New Zealand, where his whereabouts are unknown.
The reality is strong, the mainstream of society is strong, and they have no choice. Really great people are incomplete, because the nobility and fullness of the spirit cannot but appear to be incomplete in the face of the powerful reality. Because people's social attributes and the natural attributes of society make all pure and beautiful things have to succumb. The fourth space of Pauline and Juliet is always just a fairy tale. Just like Peter didn't use lengthy pages when rendering the scene in the fourth space, but it was still deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
In fact, I always think that the aesthetic tendency of art must be to appreciate the same sex. Just like my favorite directors Fassbender and Almodovar. Because noble dancers are extremely narcissistic. But loneliness can lead people to extremes. People in warmth are happy, but is that warmth real?
