    The vast unknown is the truth of the world. When we give up trying to get a quick answer from the movie, we really close the distance between the image and the reality. The first 35 minutes are amazing. There are so many points that can be dazzled and fascinated, but the director only taps a little and then drags us into a mysterious and ambiguous whirlpool. The viewpoints in the second half are too scattered, the free quality fluctuates, and it is about to become a soap opera, which makes...

    "Picnic on the Cliff" isn't quite a standard horror movie, with no blood plasma, no ghosts, no scary sound effects, and even most of the footage is in sunlight, which seems too bright for a horror movie. But this movie has a magic power that makes me think about the proposition of "disappearing". The whole film is about this matter, but no answer is given from beginning to end. The illusory proposition of "disappearing" seems to be its hope The story itself is told, a Victorian death. The young...

    BFI Player, Australian Film Classics. Director Peter Weir's early works, he, Zemeckis and Spielberg can be regarded as almighty "god-making" experts, and later filmed many classics in Hollywood, including "Dead Poets Society" and "The Truman World" and many more. The movie is adapted from Joan Lindsay's classic novel. At the beginning of the movie, the story is fully revealed with subtitles, telling you that they are going to disappear, and then see how they disappeared, the velvety image...

    Extremely feminist, the disappearing four people, taking off their socks and slippers, Mrs. McGraw's missing skirt (only wearing panties), the recovered Emma missing her bra, and the rocks slapping up against the sky under the scorching sun like penis, namely A symbol of patriarchy, it devours women who defy secular norms. In the end, the tragic fate of orphan Sarah's attachment to Miranda also leads to her death. The female dean's career, like several missing schoolgirls, has become an...

    Some people talk about the rupture of time and space so mysterious. In fact, the truth is about to come out. I guess it is a group of Maori who kidnapped them and used them as...

    The abridged part that disappeared

    Missing girl

    The mystery of what happened to the girls goes unsolved in the novel, which includes a biographical note about Lindsay's own Australian boarding school and her childhood in the district where the novel takes place, and an author's note suggesting that it might be a true story. When...

    The death and revival of dreams

    An aristocratic boarding girls’ school in Australia in 1900. The taste is purely Victorian. Nobleness and morality nourishes the soul while imprisoning and destroying the body. The girls are cumbersome with laces, wear tight corsets, talk softly, everything All are immersed in the soft halo,...

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.
