the natural helplessness

Alphonso 2022-04-23 07:01:47

I downloaded a movie a long time ago and watched it only two days ago. When I watch it, I don't know the genre or the plot. Affected by the Chinese translation, I thought it was a fashion film about strong women in the workplace. After watching it, I was surprised. The life of the heroine is so unbearable and even disgusting, but it is understandable.
Although it was such a tragic childhood, there is a desire to become a star that everyone is watching. Maybe it's the price of unrealistic dreams, she didn't study hard, she didn't have a degree; she didn't support herself with a decent job, she didn't have the skills and experience. Therefore, when she met her lover and wanted to change, she was so powerless, so she went with the flow and embarked on the road of no return. However, she still has unrealistic fantasies, thinking that she will not be discovered, so she continues to kill, and thinking that she can live a better life with her lover, so she continues to commit crimes. Maybe it's because the fantasy is too good to bear the unbearable life of life, or maybe it's the first taste of crime that makes it easier for her to live.
No one was wrong, just no one gave her a hand.

Monster quotes

  • Aileen: Everybody just thinks I'm this bad shitty fucking person, and all I'm fucking tryin' to do is survive, you know?

    Thomas: I know. I know what you do for a living. It doesn't bother me. I know you didn't dial it up on a goddamn telephone. That's where you landed. That's what you had to do. What you're feeling right now is just guilt, over something you had absolutely no control over. You know how many of us came back from the war? And almost killed ourselves because we felt exactly the same thing you do, right now.

    Aileen: Yeah?

    Thomas: Yeah. And they'll never get it. They'll never get it now, they never got it then, and they sure as hell won't get fucking circumstance!

    Aileen: Fuck, man, circumstance, that's exactly it, that's exactly it. You know I feel like I never even had a fucking choice.

    Thomas: You never did. But you gotta live. You gotta live.

  • Aileen: [points to the bartender] You owe me change!

    [pause]

    Aileen: Fuck it. I'm outta here!

    Selby: Oh, are you sure-

    [touches Lee's shoulder]

    Aileen: [rises from chair and pushes Selby off] GET YOUR FUCKIN' HANDS OFF ME, YOU DUMB DYKE! I'm not gonna fuck you for a fucking beer, alright? So, stop wasting your fuckin' time!
