    This film can only be regarded as ordinary in Will's early works, too scattered. Of course, if you observe in all works, it's still...

    Audiences from non-Christian backgrounds can see at a glance that the girls are obviously "hidden" by the spirits in the mountains, and there is no suspense. There is obviously a binary opposition in the film: Christianity, the British Empire, and the Victorian era "save the truth and remove the desires" of the trinity, while the unappeared pagan fairies, Australian nature, and the suppressed erotic desires of the girls are also trinity. The film eulogizes girls' beauty, homosexuality,...

    Before entering Hollywood, Peter Weir focused on various mysterious events in Australia. This is true of "The Last Big Wave" and the same is true of this film. Peter Weir is very popular in Hollywood, but his most creative works are definitely those from the Australian period, with a high temperament and a strange...

    It was a film from the 1970s, with avant-garde classical beauty and mysticism. The photography and soundtrack were extremely powerful, but the attitude towards narrative and characterization was reserved. I was surprised to see Jackie Weaver, the OSCAR female match-seeded player this...

    I like this kind of mysterious film, of course the soundtrack also fascinates...

    The film is based on the 1967 novel by Joan Leslie. Although the novel is fictional, the novel implies that the event itself may be real. This film with many features of drama, mystery, horror, nightmare and dream is not to explore what happened, but what might...

    Peter Weir became famous. 1. "A ghost story without ghosts, a mystery without a mystery, a story about sexual repression but no sex", the mysterious disappearance halfway through is not the same as Antonioni [奇遇]. 2. The first half is extremely colorful: the Australian wilderness under the sun (which forms a pole with a confined boarding school), like a crack in time and space (a pocket watch stopped at 12 o'clock, "a million years have been waiting for us" foreboding); The mountains and rocks...

    Every frame at the beginning and at the end is beautiful and the atmosphere is good. Look at the scene and how the costumer restores an elegant era, the film’s small metaphors and mysterious atmosphere ~ finally turned into a swan...

    It's some scattered thoughts

    I saw, as revealed in the film, a revolt against the "traditional Victorian bondage of women" who stripped off their corsets and disappeared here, above the rocks. (This reminds me of South Korea's Cui Xueli, the girl who was raped by the Internet without wearing a bra)

    Micheal in the movie said,...

    Why is "Picnic on the Cliff" terrifying (feminist perspective)?

    Obviously, the director of "Picnic on the Cliff" had the impulse to lead the audience to ask "Where are the disappearing girls and female teachers?", and obviously he did this: the movie ended, the big mystery was not solved, so Audiences like me have been asking "So how did they disappear?"...

Picnic at Hanging Rock quotes

  • Mlle. de Poitiers: [to Mrs. Appleyard] Madam, something terrible has happened.

  • Mrs. Appleyard: [to Miss Lumley] This tragedy is little more than a week old and already three, three mark you, sets of parents have written advising me that their daughters will not be here next term. Now the newspapers have something further to sensationalise about. Newspapers all over the world have headlined our morbid affair Miss Lumley. I mean, you realise that I suppose.
