今天看的电影是《女魔头》,根据真实故事改编,讲了一个濒临自杀的妓女偶然认识一个女同性恋的小女孩,二人相爱,为了养活小女孩,妓女重操就业,可是在卖淫的过程,妓女遇到了一个想要折磨她 虐待她变态的嫖客,这个人彻底改变了妓女的认知,她开始厌恶嫖客,她不再卖淫了而是转为杀死所有的嫖客,然后拿走所有的钱财。
这样的改变显然来钱更快,妓女和小女孩过上了一段快乐的时间,可是好景不长,妓女很快就被警察盯上了。
妓女每次作案的现场都不一样,很难被警察搜寻证据,于是从小女孩下手,说服小女孩给妓女套话。
妓女识破了小女孩背叛了自己,可是她还是选择了保全小女孩,故意交待了一切。
“始乱之,终弃之”,小女孩的突然出现打断了妓女本来想要自杀的计划,妓女不是同性恋,可是她毫无保留地爱上了小女孩,但小女孩想要的是“无忧无虑的 幸福快乐的平常生活”。
为了过上这种生活,妓女铤而走险成为了一个连环杀人的女魔头,而最后事情败露,小女孩则是冷酷地选择了保全自己,抛弃妓女这个让我想到了一些阶级差距:一些富贵的人和一些贫穷的人一起玩并且做了坏事,最后往往像是命运注定了一般——富贵的人可以得到保全,贫穷的人承担责任。
妓女只是一个妓女,是那么的边缘与社会底层,常说“戏子无义,婊子无情”,可是动用真心的只有妓女,可是真正付出的只有妓女。
我记得之前看过一个日本作家说过类似于“中年人出轨的爱情是最真挚的,因为他们上有老下有小,对于中年人来说,去爱一个人,成本和代价才是最高的”,这个逻辑上成不成立我不知道,但这个说法让我很触动,毕竟让我记忆到了今天。
我想某种程度上我也是这样看待女同性恋的“女同性恋之间的爱情是最真挚的,因为她们获得生理性上的快乐是最少的,她们会更接近于精神上的真爱”,在这种情况下,何况一个妓女本身是直女呢,一个直女爱上了女同,这会更接近于真爱吗?
更多的是社会问题的角度,演员的表演很自然--前天在宣武一个地下市场买的盘,昨天晚上在家中观看。
艾琳童年遭父亲朋友侵犯被赶出家门,成为卡车司机性服务妓女。
邂逅希尔比,感受到温暖和关怀,成为恋人,一起住在汽车旅馆里。
艾琳想找合法的有尊严的职业,面试中被人羞辱伤害。
只得重操旧业。
一次艾琳遇到虐待狂嫖客,艾琳开枪打死了这个男人,掩埋了他的尸体并抢走了他的钱和汽车,为满足生活所需和未来的憧憬,她开始频繁杀人,并杀害一个警察后被通缉,最终入狱,被判死刑。
查理兹塞隆表演很传神,细腻,夺得多个奖项女主角,实至名归。
写短评,但是字数超了,就只能放到影评里了。
看了一半。
字幕很乱,很多对话都没有翻译,但这不是我停下来的理由。
停下来是因为感觉很难过。
百元之恋前半部分也看着很难受,但总的来说女主也算是从泥潭里挣扎着找到了自己的重心。
但是这一部,在看似酣畅淋漓的暴力之后,女主畅想未来,想找一份工作。
selby有些嘲讽地说,你得有degree啊,她觉得无所谓了闯就完事了。
面试的时候律师事务所的老板(?
并没有攻击她,而是用一种轻巧的“高级的”方式让她感觉到一种本能的不适。
所以她只能通过自己的粗鲁来缓解这种自我攻击。
selby说:所以他做了什么?
女主这时候也只能说:他什么也没做,哈哈!
因为社会地位或者说权力的不对等,使得“接触”本身就已经成为了一种刺痛。
selby三杀:我在饿肚子诶!
你为什么不去做你的老本行?
我不觉得她坏,我只觉得很悲哀。
女主角在一个还无法自立的小女孩身上得到了她所认为的爱,然后又为了维持这份爱的希望,而只能去供养小女孩。
作为局外人,我觉得这就是悲剧的开始,一个人她尚且自己都无法保全,又怎么去提供支持和爱呢?
所以selby也在寄希望于外界的拯救或者说从依赖父母亲戚到依赖一个社会经历丰富的中年女性,可以看作她只是从一个家庭的孩子到了另一个家庭当小孩。
其实selby和女主角的困境是一样的。
selby就是女主角的内在小孩,柔弱且需要爱需要供养。
不同的是,我们真正的内在小孩是存在于心灵里的一个意象,并不能成为情感宣泄的实体。
而当你遇到了一个所谓的“爱人”,明知山有虎,偏向虎山行,是可以想见的溃败。
那时候就可以一边扭曲着哭泣一边控诉着:我这么爱你!
你为什么要这样对我?
女主角的尴尬是真正的死胡同,一个没有能力没有技术也没有奇迹的人生,当她幻想着过着名流的生活之时,她要么成为疯子要么成为傻子。
影视作品告诉你,好人行善积德,误会被解除,追妻火葬场,只要你勇敢,你就会熠熠生辉,只要你努力,你就会无愧此生。
一切做功都指向经济独立,人生得意,然后就上价值,接着解放那些思想不够进步的同志们。
互联网也常常告诉我们,你不快乐的本质是你的思想不够清晰,你的格局不够,你陷入了泥沼里,你的自我价值没有建立起来。
然而有时候生活就是一个没有根的方程式。
它根本就没有解。
没有所谓的对与错。
一切都是不可预测的。
和比自己更惨的人去“比惨”然后得出一个结论:他都活得好好的我更应该努力活。
因为永远有人在受苦,我的痛苦就应该被四舍五入掉吗?
btw电影里还出现了“爬过来”和“叫我爹”这些地方也引起我的一些不适。
在某些情况下这些“命令”它能变得非常的调情,但在某些时候它就会变成一种击碎自尊的叩叩。
就好像,当你感觉安全舒适的时候,玩笑话是一种幽默,但当你以下位者的姿态等待着审阅和盖戳的时候,对方只是微笑着把你的小作文撕掉然后问你你是否有妄想症的时候,这种“自称西格玛男人”,你唯一能做的就是,让他们死吧。
这并不是正义,这只是羞愤或者说无能狂怒。
回到开头,杀猪盘也是一样,我记得以前在某乎搜索杀猪盘,最高赞就是说有些女人就是会被骗子骗,因为符合她们幻想的只能是骗子。
身在其中的时候,明明觉得不可能,可是人总会觉得,“我也许是例外”“就算是邪恶之人,也不一定不会被我唤醒善心”“他虽然对我很坏,但是他怎么不对别人坏,也许这就是爱情吧”。
当你选择赌的时候,你明白,失败了就是joker。
不仅骗子会笑你,最高赞会说你是意淫狂,你自己也会说,天呐,我怎么会觉得我会遇到奇迹?
我在干什么?
事到如今我仍然在想,唯一不寄希望于奇迹的方式是,把那些无穷无尽的自我感动和神化以及同理心,放在自己身上吧。
我觉得描写男性犯罪者的题材还蛮多种多样,可是描写狂躁不安又不体面的社会地位不高的Psychopath女性的影视作品好像还蛮少的。
当然这也不是什么好路数,你还得被道德法律舆论多重审判。
除非真的跟美剧里那种连环杀手一样24k纯变态……我只是感觉,大多数人是普通人,但是总有小部分人是特别惨。
这种惨体现在一种基本的生存体验得不到保障上,同时你又像被人抚育的红毛猩猩那样,开始思考“我是谁”“我为什么而存在”。
我思故我在了,你要是不思考你还能是个混沌的量子态,现在你思考了,你坍缩了。
既没有办法拥有神之智力实现自我,又拥有着丰富的敏锐的知觉。
我没有答案,我也不知道答案在哪里,就像我买了很多书,但我看到那些公式定理的第一时间,我就开始逃避。
和“别人家的孩子”比较然后自我攻击已经变成了一套固定的模式植根在大脑里。
你尝试着同情自己,但是你又会发现,有些东西是无法克服的。
就像酒精或者刷抖音一样。
你明明知道这样垃圾,但你就是臣服于此。
毕竟如果你可以克服,人生的前18年你就应该坐在教室里奋笔疾书,而不至于在都已经可以称得上“中年危机”的年龄段里才发现大脑空空,除了一些自相矛盾的人生感悟之外啥也没有。
女魔头这个电影的原型人物Wuornos的人生是一个特别令人窒息的故事: 她的所谓“父母”,其实都是两个小孩。
14岁的女孩和18岁的男孩,他们生下了一个男婴,就是Wuornos的哥哥。
两年后生下Wuornos的时候,“妈妈”其实也就16岁,“爸爸”20岁上下。
而且生下她的前两个月,这对年轻人就已经在申请离婚了。
所以她被生下时就遭到了“爸爸”的抛弃。
她从未见过自己的爸爸。
她、她的哥哥、她的16岁的妈妈,3个人应该是完全投靠在妈妈的父母家,也就是Wuornos的爷爷奶奶家。
她四岁的时候,妈妈彻底走了(不知道去哪里了),Wuornos和哥哥就完全由爷爷奶奶收养了。
而爷爷奶奶不仅都酗酒,爷爷以及他的朋友还对Wuornos实施了多年的性侵。
她11岁的时候就开始在学校里通过性活动来换取食物、香烟和毒品,我猜爷爷对她的性侵肯定发生在她11岁之前。
在这样的成长环境里染上毒瘾毫不意外,还要用性来换取食物,可见家里连吃的也不太给。
14岁的时候她被某个亲戚强奸怀孕了,15岁生下孩子送给了某个福利机构,然后她就辍学了,按中国这边的话就是初中都没毕业。
几乎在同时,奶奶病亡,估计这个爷爷本来就没有承担照料的任何劳动,即便是一边照料一边性侵都不愿意,所以他把Wuornos赶出家门,从此之后她就开始了以卖淫为生的流浪生活。
在14到22岁之间,她6次试图自杀。
她没有过任何正常人的生活环境,从爸妈那儿、从爷爷奶奶那儿得到过作为一个孩子应该被得到的照料,她也没有从学校那儿得到过庇护,学校作为未成年人的生活环境的唯一的外延。
Wuornos应该时刻都处于一种应激状态,所以她易怒、暴力,她没有生活,她只有生存。
她20岁的时候遇到了69岁的一个老头,结婚了。
不知道这个老头怎么想的,是真的出于对Wuornos的怜爱,还是单纯就是一个老不死的,总之就和20岁的Wuornos结婚了,但9周后就提出离婚。
然后到30岁之间,Wuornos一直都过着危险而混乱的恶性循环的生活:性、暴力伤人、短暂入狱、偷车、拘捕等大大小小违法行为。
30岁时,她遇到了24岁的女招待,她爱上了,然后就以卖淫为生养活着她们两个人。
她虽然有各种心理、精神上的疾病,但她仍然想要照料自己爱的人。
只不过卖淫是她唯一会的“技能”。
当然她也是因为从来没被人爱过,所以一旦有人对自己释放一点爱意,对方是69岁的老头也好,还是需要自己去卖淫养家也好,她都去做。
女招待对于Wuornos的犯罪行为应该是知情的,有一些可能也参与了,为了获取自己的轻判,她和警方联合,去套Wuornos的话。
连环杀手对她是一种错误的描述。
她是连续杀人,而不是连环杀人。
连环杀手是通过杀人来满足自己的某种心理需求,Wuornos的杀人要么是自卫、要么是抢劫,更倾向于一种精神疾病状态下的激动杀人,——就是她自己不知道自卫的界限在哪里,不知道愤怒的界限在哪里。
哦对,还有她那从未见过的爸爸,他在31岁的时候因绑架和强奸一名7岁女孩而被抓,2年后他在监狱里自缢了。
整体来说就特别窒息。
看见海报了吗?
看到影片中那个满脸是斑点、披头散发,浑身是赘肉甚至有点啤酒肚的主角了吗,这个估计在大部分人的审美中都会被纳入“丑女”行列的人,居然是查理兹·塞隆,没错你没有看错,我也没写错就是在好莱坞以美艳著称的大美女:查理兹·塞隆。
在观看本片之前我就听说这位美女为了演好这个角色故意扮丑的同时,增肥30磅,对于一个模特出身的演员来说,如此多的肥肉出现在她身上,真不知道她是如何容忍的。
于是那位光彩照人的大美女就此消失,取而代之的是一个“黄牙齿,满脸雀斑,象职业拳击手一样身材壮硕的粗俗街头妓女。
真的很难想象“迪奥”广告中那个身材妖娆,《白雪公主和猎人》中那个面容妖艳的绝代芳华,居然能丑成这样,真的很难将反差如此巨大的角色联想到一起。
而我在看这部电影的时候,有几个对演员面部的特写镜头我还特别仔细的观看了一下,真的只能隐约的看出一些轮廓来,不得不佩服演员对于角色的牺牲和好莱坞化妆师的水平。
影片名为“女魔头”,听说还是根据真实事件改编,影片中的主角“艾琳”真的是一位连杀6人的连环杀手,是一位地地道道的“女魔头”,影片讲述了她是如何从一位普通妓女,到迈出杀人的第一部,再到嗜杀成瘾,成为当年佛州境内,声名显赫的“女魔头”的一系列经历。
影片也通过镜头展现了美国社会的诸多问题,教育问题、女权问题、枪支管理问题、同性恋问题,还有个人的道德以及社会责任问题等等等等。
在那样一个年代,一个女子是怎么变成冷血杀手的现实,值得众多人去关注。
反观如今国内的社会环境,拜金思想日益弥漫高涨,全民的道德底线日益沦丧,个人的社会道德和社会责任已近乎无人关注,各大主流媒体以及家庭教育的灌输无不以金钱至上。
在此等环境之下,又是在我们国家这么一个不倡导任何信仰的过度,若然出现个把连环变态杀手也是指日可待。
一切的牺牲和努力都是有回报的,将扮丑发挥到极致的查理兹·塞隆,凭借在该片中的出众演绎,一举斩获当年的奥斯卡影后,小金人到手,一切的付出也就值了。
我信仰Aileen Wuornos除非是对自己的美丽拥有绝对的自信,同时又对自己的事业创新有着极度的渴求,Charlize Theron定不會接下這個角色。
在這部由女導演Patty Jenkins編寫並指導的電影裡,南非第一美女Charlize Theron大毀形象,增重30磅扮演了或許是美國歷史上最臭名昭著的女性連環殺手---Aileen Wuornos一角。
影片極大程度地還原了Aileen無奈走上不歸路的一生,但對其成長經歷卻只是一筆帶過,在此稍作補充。
Aileen的幼年是支離破碎的,父親是個猥褻兒童的瘋子,最後在監獄裡自殺。
母親在生下Aileen前與她父親離婚,可在Aileen4歲時,母親因無法承受單親家庭的壓力和責任,拋棄了Aileen。
Aileen隨後被外祖父母收養,而這兩位也不是什麼好傢伙。
外祖父酗酒,在Aileen年幼時常常無緣無故地拿起皮帶抽Aileen的屁股,哪怕Aileen只是在廚房裡彎下腰撿東西。
這樣的家庭環境,沒有一個孩子能夠正常成長。
Aileen在14歲時懷孕,生下的兒子隨後被領養走。
同年,她開始販賣自己的身體和技巧。
20隨時,她遇見一位69歲,十分富有的快艇俱樂部部長,後者深深為她著迷,並與她訂下婚約。
可Aileen放蕩不羈的本性難移,最終導致婚約解除。
Aileen隨後的日子漫無目的,她靠賣淫,造假甚至持械搶劫維持生計。
直到30隨時,她遇見了Tyria Moore, 也就是片中Selby的原型。
而之後的故事,觀眾都知道了。
這是一部主題黑暗,又壓抑的電影。
儘管片尾導演還是給了一個Aileen走向光明,走向希望的鏡頭,象徵她終於擺脫了這個骯髒的社會。
影片對被性慾沖昏腦袋的變態男性的刻畫又是那麼真實,刺眼。
而Aileen內心對愛和生活的渴望以及她單純卻明確的世界觀又是那麼的心疼。
講一些很主觀也不理性的個人看法:要是你不理解Aileen的行為,或依舊是揪著她殺人只是為了自己的觀念不放,我們就沒法好好玩耍了。
社會造人,環境造人,一切事情的發生都會有個合理的起因。
在Aileen的故事裡,Selby只是導火線,而真正迫使Aileen殺人的卻是這個虛假,齷齪的社會。
Aileen本人在行刑前一天說道:「我知道他們在看著我。
得了,我又不是殺人專家,剛開始幾次下手是因為他們要強姦我,我是自我防衛。
之後幾次我做的不好,甚至很笨拙,我把手印留的到處都是!
可那些警察,他們就看著,他們不來調查,我還記得我殺某john的時候頭上有一個直昇機飛過去,上面坐著誰?
警官?
可他就是不下來。
他們想讓我殺人,他們想讓我成為連環殺手。
」而在法庭上宣讀完認罪聲明後,Aileen怒吼道:「你們居然判一個被強姦的女人死刑!
你們都是些渣!
」別跟我說什麼她是妓女,她應該習慣性交易,或是她只是被強姦,而那些受害者卻付出了生命這樣的話。
你不知道一次強姦,哪怕是未遂的強姦會對女性身心產生多大的傷害!
那種憤怒和絕望殺一百個人都消解不來。
真是不怕你冷眼,我在看到Aileen殺掉第一個和第二個john時感覺就像吐出了含在嘴裡兩小時的嘔吐物一般,甚至恨不得自己也能上去補幾槍!
Selby對於Aileen而言是救贖,是在骯髒世界裡她唯一發現的美麗閃光點,是Aileen繼續活下去的唯一信仰,為了這個信仰,Aileen願意付出她生命裏的一切。
這是最單純的愛,除了依賴,不牽扯其他任何東西。
這個世界已經不給她提供任何堅持她活下去的東西了,既然這樣她為甚麼還要活在這個世界上?
當她已經準備好,要前往另外一個世界時, Selby成了她的羈絆,使她覺得人生未果。
此時她不死,就是為了能守住這份羈絆,她殘生的唯一羈絆。
而為了這個單純的目標,她有什麼做不出來?
更別說殺掉幾個惡心的雞姦犯了。
至於她對整個世界做出的貢獻,如消滅潛在強姦犯,保護女性也就不再贅述了。
以上,我信仰Aileen Wuornos.
Charlize Theron的在本片里的表现绝对配得上当年的影后头衔,建议大家看看Youtube上关于Aileen Wuornos这个史上第一位女性连环杀手的Documentary视频,看完以后你会更加佩服Charlize Theron在本片里的表演,Aileen的每一个时而凶悍时而脆弱的神态都被她带到了荧幕上。
相对来讲,我觉得本片的导演就有点平庸了,这么一个精彩的故事,让她拍的有点俗套了,不喜欢Christina Ricci的角色,为什么要把她表现的那么柔弱呢,在现实生活里Aileen的partner根本就不值得任何的同情。
jc /41314/04/2019 draftDr. F C Monster: Understanding How Aileen Wuornos Became The First American Serial Killer Film element: characters and their psychology issuesMonster is a biographical crime film based on Aileen Wuornos’s life story; a film about how Aileen Wuornos became a serial killer. The film is written and directed by a famous woman filmmaker, Patty Jenkins. Monster provided Charlize Theron, who plays Aileen Wuornos, a win at the Academy Awards for Best Actress, as well as other worldwide awards. Another protagonist, Selby Wall, was played by Christina Ricci. The film was produced by Denver and Deliah Films in 2004. Even to this day the film still maintains a high-value for society’s criminal studies by supplying people an insight into the world of a killer and an understanding of a human being’s dark side.The director, Patty Jenkins, is sympathetic to Aileen and opens a window to let people know what kind of tragic life her past held. In this film, the protagonist, Aileen is extremely miserable in all aspects of life, spiritually, financially, and emotionally. The serial killer, Aileen, was an innocent person who became a killer because she was forced by the environment that surrounded her.The conflicts within the film are well set; the goal of the protagonist, fantasy vs. reality, and the conflicts between characters are a few prominent conflicts that stand out. The most important conflict, in Monster, is that Aileen never achieves her fantasy about being in love and living a wealthy lifestyle. As a child, Aileen had a conscious, she was simple, grateful, hopeful, good-looking, and one who dreamed of a fancy life. As a child, she dreamt of becoming Marilyn Monroe but because of the terrible childhood environment, she was forced to endure she instead became an uneducated prostitute who lacked life skills and practical intelligence. She was frequently suffered from both mental and physical abuse. She was isolated. As time went by, Aileen got older and began to hurt more. She became more aggressive, confrontational, and violent. Until a raining night in a bar, before Aileen attempts to commit suicides, she meets Selby. Aileen thinks she finally found love and believes Selby will never hurt her. She tries her best to satisfy the immature Selby's desire for life, but Aileen does not possess too many abilities so she takes back her old job, because of Selby's will. One day, she has to kill a whoremonger to survive. She pretends everything is alright in life to make Selby happy, but never stops to take a look inside herself to see the broken heart that dwells. Unfortunately, Aileen’s sacrifices cannot fill Selby's real needs: living in bliss and without responsibilities. Selby stays with Aileen for pleasure and as an escape from her family. Aileen has never been loved by Selby nor anyone else, but her selflessness for Selby is love in itself. The few shining points within this film are the friendship between Aileen and the aged man and Aileen’s sacrifice for the wrong person, Selby, who has a narcissistic personality disorder. Although Selby was one of the causes that led Aileen to fall into the abyss Aileen still protects Selby from the law until her dying day. Aileen’s love for Selby is her last defense for her ideality towards love and life, and the last defiance to fate and to society. Aileen is a criminal who lost control of life and morals, but she is also a practitioner of faith and love. She is an idealist who sustains her principles of love, even though almost everyone, including herself, continues to hurt her and push her away.Besides analyzing the theme and well-made story conflicts set in this film, the next part of the paper will concentrate on how the director uses mise en scene elements to take audiences deeper into the killer’s life. Patty Jenkins pays attention to every detail of the story. She controls the pace and the mood of the film to make the audience empathize with Aileen’s tragic life. The use of mise en scene reveals Patty Jenkins's directing style in Monster is exquisite, meticulous, and cautious. Using the opening scene as an instance: the operation of aspect ratio, the composition, the camera works, the symbolism, the changing of color saturation, the changing of film tone, and the use of lighting in the opening scene will be analyzed. The first feature of the directing style in Monster is the way she operates the opening scene and its aspect ratio. The second outstanding characteristic is the cautious way she arranges the composition and the symbolism. Patty's unique opening design of the film starts with a video screening in a frame (a small version of 1.85 aspect frame ratio in a regular film frame size). The ratio of video screening between the whole film screen is about 1:13. The design of this opening is very forward and creative. It also starts with Aileen's narrative monologue overlaid by her childhood video screening. It grasps the audience’s attention and makes them feel as if they are watching a home video, which is also Aileen's life reflected prior to suicide. While the video is screening in the frame, audiences get a sneak peek, from Aileen’s point of view, of the cruel world she is a part of. The entire opening clip implies the background story that Aileen was raised in an awful family and had unpleasant memories growing up. When the frame of the small video gets bigger and bigger until filling the entire screen, the audiences are awarded a view of emptiness and hopelessness Aileen faces. At the same time, the flashback is over, the film starts the linear narrative, and the countdown of fate commences. In this first full-screen shot, which is high contrast and a high key wise shot of Aileen cowering under a flyover, audiences notice the strange dark shadow that draws and separates Aileen from the road. Audiences will face Aileen's unpredictable life by following her actions.The opening video screening starts with a close up of Aileen’s head, her eyes full of passion and hope. It's a high key shot with a balance lighting contrast with high color purity. It has a warm tone that has the most hopeful and cheerful feeling in the film, compared with the rest of the film. The light of sunset shines through the window and lights Aileen's back in a 3/4 degree angle; her head faces a mirror in a room without extra lighting. The symbolism and the dominated colors also set the mood at the beginning of the film. The blue, red, and yellow earth colors symbolize her tragic love, violence in life, and her unachievable dreams of wealth, respectively. Aileen as a child wears a blue silk scarf, looking at the mirror, and is framed by the redwood, symbolizing that she dreams about being surrounded by love and the beauty of human nature. She likes pretty stuff, but she gets only abuse in the future, the redwood frame symbolizes her life being affected and limited by violence. The gold necklace symbolized her desire for wealth. Aileen as a child was innocent, pure, and had nothing to do with violence. In this flashback opening clip, child Aileen seems happy and everything in the scene seems lovely. While the camera zooms out slowly, and the video frame is getting bigger and bigger, in the next shoulder shot, while she puts on another gold necklace, a hand touches her heavily touches her shoulder, and turns her back around; her eyes gaze innocently at the audience. This moment symbolized her crashing fantasy. In the next flashback, Patty uses one modern drawing as a transition shot. The narrator, Aileen, says that she stopped sharing her dream with people. A male comes into the frame taking her book away, and ordering her to do something else. She becomes sad and closes her eyes to escape reality. Based on the extreme close up of the angry male’s eyes, the audience is informed that as a child, Aileen, lived with a terrible father.The frame of the flashback memory is bigger than before, the color purity is lowered, the light on the scene turns to overcast, and the emotions on Aileen’s face are no longer innocent nor cheerful. She is angry. In the next wide shot and the following medium shot, people keep their distance from Aileen, while looking at her in an unfriendly way. Narrator Aileen continues to keep her dreams in her heart and intends to prove her dream will one day come true. She believes she will be the next Marilyn Monroe.However, in reality, her tragic life comes to the next transition. The wide shot of her walking on the road and getting into a stranger’s car implies that she has become a prostitute and homeless. In the next night scene, she is inside of a customer's car, the low light key, and the high contrast shows her life situation has worsened and the frame reverts backs to the regular film format size. Her memory ends and the audience starts to venture into her new life, a female serial killer is coming to the world for she is kicked out and abandoned by the male whoremonger and her fantasy dream about the perfect life begins to die. She thinks about suicide. While she sits under a flyover, a raining scene with a wide shot starts her new chapter of life. With a close up of Aileen holding a gun in her right hand, and 5 dollar bill in her left hand, she tries to commit suicide.The common characteristic of Patty Jenkins’ directing style, similar to other female filmmakers, is that Patty uses a lot of dialogue to reveal emotional changes for each character, which she then develops into multiple conflicts related to Aileen‘s fantasy of life and the struggles experienced in the real world.Arthur Schopenhauer thinks “Every life history is a history of suffering.” Human beings fall from pain or grow from it. Most people break laws because they couldn’t find a way out of their struggles. When there is unsolvable trouble for a long time, one may be controlled by depression, anxiety, or anger. Depression because of incompetence; anxiety is due to the unsatisfied desire; a fury is an act of the timidity of performance. When a person is crushed by the mix of irrational emotions like depression, anxiety, and anger, and lack any emotional support for a long time, he/she has the potential to hurt himself and others. Aileen Wuornos is a typical example that demonstrates how a broken soul can walk the criminal path. According to this film, people know Aileen was not a psycho, but she always lacked positive social support and was never loved by anyone. She is always depressed and had been controlled by anxiety and anger her whole life. Even though she never acquires love, she is a true believer in it. Her selfless love for Selby and her explicit behavior in faith for love leads audiences to think deeply about whether people possess love and the faith of life. Through this film, audiences can assume that Aileen Wuornos could have a better life if she had received any effective favors. Patty Jenkins sees the root cause of how and why Aileen became a criminal. This masterpiece of hers is more than a criminal feature, it’s an anti-romance biography of how an ordinary dreamer can become a killer. This film is a textbook study of criminal minds, a reflection of society’s desire for status, and most importantly, a guide that helps people to be wise and caring.Work Cited? None. none target audiences.
看了开头,就知道不是什么好结局。
前半部分展示的基本上还是一个从小受到不公正待遇的女性自我选择的结果,是的,她的生活在最初是以悲剧开始的,但她往后的每一个选择都在把自己往更悲惨的深渊里推。
这个没人能帮得了。
影片第一次触动我,是在她决心找一份安稳工作,四却处碰壁尤不自知原因的时候。
口口声声重新开始,却因为快钱赚的太多,而不懂得如何踏踏实实的赚钱顾生活。
老实讲,我觉得面试他的考官修养和品德算得上极好,说的话也一针见血,“你不能轻易就实现别人奋斗终生的目标。
”仔细看电影细节可以体会,你的过往会造就你现在的环境,现在的环境又会影响你和你身边的人。
我们究竟是顺应环境被命运所左右,还是想方设法突破环境的限制改变命运,结果并不会因为一次心血来潮的偶然选择产生偏差,而是取决于漫长人生路上每一次微不可查的取舍。
Charlize Theron has sacrificed her appearance in the Monster and was awarded the Oscar best actress in 2003,the story based on a real prostitute’s experiences. It can be seemed as a genuine copy of part of our society,but,really boring to me.
居然就这样得了奥斯卡~~~~
SB西比才是真正的女魔头
Christina Ricci整个不在状态地同表演过度的塞隆对戏看着也太难受了,不过两个人都牺牲好大,身上的肉都是实打实的一寸不含糊的增上去的吧,电影完了之后受不了马上搜美照看去了。
You selfish bitch
那么多自然丑的女演员接不着活,查理兹·塞隆刻意扮丑是断人家的路。格局不如《末路狂花》。抽离掉同性元素,这就是无能老公为了养女友走上绝路的故事。看完后想起了苏童的《红粉》,片中女主角实在太LOW,所以她想整点钱却连做假帐的机会都没有,只能依靠暴力。这不是社会的悲剧,这只是LOW逼的悲歌。
不推荐 但是我喜欢查理兹塞隆尺度很大....
看上去很惊悚。塞隆得奖实至名归。一纯爷们= =
九鼎D9 克里斯蒂娜•里奇瞬间没有《水牛66》里那么美了,在本片里差点认不出她来...
30多岁的Patty Jenkin第三部自编自导作品。独白不错,其余就拍得太平实了。除了塞隆的丑,缺少些震撼的东西。另外前面死了N个没线索,死个警察就查出来了囧
剧本不行,徒有其名
我的天啊...看到世界的堕落...五味杂陈~~~
2004/3,New Haven,下载
theron真是不忍直视
很震撼的电影~我给满分!记住了Charlize Theron的演技!
2003年还在拍90年代的感觉,实在失望。而且还有同性恋情节实在无感。本来冲着查理兹塞隆因为此片影后去的,结果看了个老式片。
想看5.25看过8.26塞隆好像got里的那个 bigwoman啊。。
又忘记勾这片了,当年很喜欢。
A stupid hooker deserves this.
真的太丑了
