Angel of Sin, Angel of Bliss

Comments from my college days seem naive now, but I was able to write such a big article back then, so leave it. I don't think the two of them are gay, and although there's an implicit sex scene in the film, I think it's just an expression of love. When Pauline cast a hateful, angry look at her mother, I felt darkness hit and I could feel my heart pounding. It's clear that Pauline is ashamed of her living circumstances, and she wants to have Juliet's dad, even though her own dad is in fact no worse than Dr. She hates her mother just because she is still young and doesn't understand the expression of love. She thinks her mother is vulgar and base and hinders her happiness, but it's too late, and she has no chance to re-recognize her mother's love. A lot of thinking situations have happened to us too, but they are not as extreme as in the movie. I think the two protagonists are psychologically abnormal, as if most people who say crimes are psychologically problematic. I feel that the reason for this morbidity is caused by the contradiction between their talent and reality. I like the fourth world they created. We all have dreams, but the freedom and happiness they yearn for is beyond the imagination of ordinary people. This is their talent. I don't think the two of them are madmen or geniuses, although their performance is crazy and bold, it's just that their confusion has not been properly guided, their appeals cannot be integrated with the society they live in, only living in the two of them It is only in the fourth world that they feel free, so they will break through all obstacles for the sake of this two people's blissful world. The last picture always left me with lingering fears. What kind of belief made them smash their bloody heads again and again. This is a real event and a story. I don't want to ask why, only the real shock in my heart is left.

    The two beautifully crafted girls were as childish, lovely and talented as Peter Jackson at that time. Fei Wen's performance was a little exaggerated, which caused the fat girl next to him to be at a loss, but it helped a lot to deepen the emotion of the film, and it was very similar to the relationship between the two in the film. The reality is a little cruel. That terrible afternoon was all too real.

    PJ is really a good director. Although I have never seen his famous Lord of the Rings trilogy, this film is really good. The lens, the use of imagination is simply extreme. Two minds that are too imaginative, there is another world there! genius! madman! we are mad! There is no way to harmonize with reality, so tragedy happened. The mother-killing scene was so cruel, it gave me goosebumps.

Heavenly Creatures quotes

  • [first lines]

    [Director Peter Jackson opens with the scene that should, logically, end the film: that is, the moments immediately following the murder. The girls Juliet and Pauline run screaming up the hill-path to the tea-house, sobbing and covered in blood. The scene is intercut with b&w visions of the two running across a ship deck to meet Dr. and Mrs. Hulme, whom they both refer to as their mother, as the first three exclamations of "Mummy!" demonstrate]

    Juliet Hulme: Mummy!

    Pauline Parker: Mummy!

    Juliet Hulme: Mummmmy!

    [the scene changes from the ship to the hilltop tea-house. The girls are screaming hysterically as the tea-house woman runs out to see what the noise is all about]

    Pauline Parker: It's Mummy! She's terribly hurt!

    Juliet Hulme: Please! Help us!

  • John: [Chasing Pauline on his bike] Yvonne! Stop! I still love you! Yvonne!

    [Juliet and Pauline look out the train window at him, and grin to each other]

    Pauline Parker: [voiceover] Compared with these two, every man is a fool. The world is most honoured that they should deign to rule, and I worship the power of these lovely two, with that adoring love known to so few.
