Anya is really a character suitable for facial close-ups. The first "Morgan" was still a little immature. When "The Witch" and "Split", her delicate face can show a lot of emotions. The same is true for this "Pedigree Animals". The settings of the two characters are completely opposite. Things are hidden in the heart of Lily. When we see Anya playing the role of Lily, the beauty is that it is such a beautiful face, but it makes people unable to understand her true thoughts.
Whether or not the stepfather should be killed is actually not the focus of the discussion in this film, because lily thinks he should die, so the plot revolves around whether to do it, when to do it, and how to do it. We can say that this kind of paternal killing is a kind of paranoia, and this kind of paranoia actually echoes the spiritual problems of amanda. The two people are completely opposite characters, but both have disorders. In the film, Amanda finally has such a joy in her heart, but Lily sinks deeper and deeper, turning her heart into a wasteland.
A few points worth mentioning, the first is crying. Amanda taught Lily how to fake cry at the beginning of the film, and later also said that her behavior of crying while holding a headache was also a fake. So did Lily cry in Amanda's arms after killing her stepfather? I think yes, it was a sob that seemed to be premeditated, and she was curled up in Amanda's arms, I think it was also a disguise, because she wanted to show her cowardly side, even without any audience.
The other is about horses. The horse is undoubtedly an image that runs through the film. Amanda killed the horse in order to make her horse detached. However, because she has no emotions, the process is actually very bloody. And Lily approached Amanda to discuss the matter, in fact, she liked Amanda's calmness.
Another place where the horse appeared was a photo of the two riding together when they were young. We can see from the beginning that the photos lily put out have actually hidden Amanda, which means that the ruthlessness of lily's heart is actually a sign, so she killed It's not hard to understand that Amanda's letter is thrown away after the stepfather.
As for the horse mentioned in Amanda's last letter, it is probably her yearning for a simpler life as a child.
Amanda told Lily after hitting Tim with the light, don’t hesitate, I think this is interesting in the last scene where Lily killed her stepfather. Lily had already retired, but she watched amanda. After being poured, without hesitation, he went upstairs and slaughtered his stepfather. And that shot is really very cold, we can't see the process, only the beginning and the end, and Lily seems to be panicking, but in fact, she is executing her plan in an orderly manner.
Originally, I was just rushing to watch this movie by Anya, but I didn't expect it to give me a lot of surprises. The stylized narrative coupled with fairly good weird music makes this movie's temperament very different from ordinary teenage problem movies. The inadvertent white space and gap between the two female characters also adds to the movie's weirdness. The sense of.
You see such a well-behaved girl step by step towards revenge, but you don't know that she may have planned everything long ago, and all the beautiful appearances are just her disguise.
