This is a movie that is beyond our daily life experience, the death of both parents, the younger brother's indulgent and restless sexual fantasy, the quarrel and ambiguity between the sister and the younger brother, the mother who was sealed in the cement, until the end of the sister and brother. of incest. A depressing but infatuation film, the younger brother Jack is exceptionally handsome, like a young Jesus, the older sister Juliet is indifferent and melancholy, and the younger brother and sister are very similar. They seem to be gods who don't eat human fireworks, or small animals that have lost their shelter. Like the red kite, it lost its center of gravity, fell, and finally collided, finding the last support point helplessly. This is not an incest movie. After the mother sealed in the cement is about to be discovered, the siblings finally fuse together and complete the replacement of family roles. But, as Jack had said, they would fall into a gray shingle and be discovered by higher beings. This is incomprehensible to people in this world, and it only exists in the deepest layers of people's hearts.

The Cement Garden quotes

  • Julie: Girls can wear jeans and cut their hair short, wear shirts and boots, because it's OK to be a boy, but for a boy to look like a girl is degrading, because you think that being a girl is degrading. But secretly you'd love to know what it's like, wouldn't you? What it feels like for a girl?

  • Commander Hunt: There is nothing ugly, I never saw an ugly thing in my life, for let the shape of an object be as they may: light, shade and perspective will always make it beautiful.
