"The most important thing in life is desire. Desire can achieve all goals, and the whole world is at your disposal. As long as you have desires, you will be able to do anything. ”
Ms. G, a charismatic female teacher in the movie "Crack", tells her students about the above passage, but Ms. G is not the brave person who dares to realize her desires, but a person who lives in prison and is full of fear of life and disguises herself as a brave explorer.
This film tells the story of the gray to the dark of human nature, and at the same time pins her hopes on the young female students who began to pursue light and distance after seeing the grayness of human nature.
Based on the novel of the same name by South African writer Sheila Kohler, Crack tells the story of a teacher-student love affair, an extremely twisted female teacher who falls in love with a female student of noble birth.
The story takes place in a closed girls' school, just like the madhouse in "Flying Over the Madhouse", which is a sick, enclosed space. Like the head nurse in Flying Over the Madhouse, Ms. G tries to control her schoolgirls, and she wants to be the "queen" of the school.
Before Fiama came to the school, Ms. G was indeed the "queen" of the school. The students obeyed her words and even took them as the most reasonable. This is not a simple teacher-student relationship, but Ms. G deliberately portrays herself as a fearless adventurer, putting the content of the adventure novel on herself, but the students think that it is Ms. G's personal experience.
It wasn't until Fiama came to school that everything changed. She was a true nobleman, with nobility and elegance flowing through her blood. Her arrival caused Dai, the schoolgirl whom Ms. G had always favored, to feel a sense of crisis and try her best to exclude her from the group.
Fiama did not want to be part of their group either, she only lived in the school temporarily, because she fell in love with the son of a peasant, and as a nobleman, this was not accepted. So her father sent her to discipline and would take her out in a short time, never imagining that she would die at this school, at the hands of Ms. G, who said she loved her.
In this film, girls' schools represent a closed, hypocritical, pickled world. Ms. G is the maggot that parasitizes this world, and only in front of her students is she calm and self-assured, exuding her disguised charm. Once out of school, she was unusually panicked, frightened, and socially incapacitated.
Dai represents Lady G's followers, worships the false persona constructed by Ms. G, and wants to be that person.
Fiama became a clear stream into the pickled world, and her nobility and elegance were exactly what Ms. G dreamed of. She is bent on a disguised temperament, but it is innate to others, and this special psychology makes her fall in love with Fiama.
Ms. G's homosexuality is not that she really likes women, but because Fiama is Ms. G's dream self, she begins to please Fiama, but Fiama is not moved, and even looks down on Ms. G, because she knows that the adventure ms. G is talking about is just the plot of the novel.
Because she lost Lady G's favor, Dee blamed all her resentment on Fiama's appearance, and began to reject her more and more, and even joined forces with other classmates to kick her out of school. The other students reflected the real-life herd mentality, and they were habitually dominated by Dai, because Dai was the best of all. They banded together to reject Fiama, not out of disgust, but simply out of conformity. The psychology of conformity does not distinguish between black and white, good and evil, and only by following the crowd can we preserve ourselves in the collective. People always need a collective, because many times, the hypocritical conformity is far more likely to give people a sense of security than the bitter loneliness.
Because of Fiama's arrogance, Ms. G's authority was provoked, and she began to deliberately harass Fiama, but Fiama did not have the slightest intention of submissiveness, but instead aroused the sympathy of other students, including Dai, and the female students slowly opened their hearts and accepted each other, and one night, they ignored all the rules and drank and reveled all night.
The was the beginning of the self-conscious awakening of the female students, who had been arranged to live, taught to be nuns, and trained by Ms. G to worship her. They had never danced and danced like that night, and that was their truest self.
Ms. G stopped the dorm steward's reprimand, giving the students the impression of indulging their fun, and picking up the drunken Fiama. She took Fiama to her room and stroked Fiama's beautiful face, expressing her love. That's her real purpose.
In fact, Ms. G's character setting is "sexually repressed", because of social fear, never dare to contact men, the wildness of expectation in her heart is limited by the cowardly heart, she can only brag about herself to meet her expectations of herself. She can only live in the false world she has painstakingly managed. She has sexual desires, but she does not dare to contact men, so her sexual desires are also distorted and transferred to the self she expects, that is, Fiama.
It's not so much that Ms. G loves Fiama as she loves her imaginary self.
That night, she vented her desires on Fiama, all of which were witnessed by Dai. At this time, Dai is very similar to Lady G, and Lady G is in Dai's eyes, just as Fiama is in Lady G's eyes. What the two of them did made Dey feel abandoned and began to hate Fiama again.
Fiama's attempt to expose Ms. G's false face to the public completely explodes the dark side of Ms. G's humanity, and she disguises herself as a weak lamb, saying that Fiama is trying to spread rumors, maliciously slander her, and slander her reputation. In order to be favored by Lady G again, Dei led the female students to besiege Fiama even though she knew that what Fiama was doing was not deliberately denigrating.
They surrounded her in the forest behind the school, and like all the girls fighting, they pressed her to the ground, rode on top of her, pinched her flesh, and brushed her hair. Fiama had asthma, and Dai grabbed the pill bottle and threw it aside. Dai was venting her dissatisfaction, and the others had forgotten the friendship they had formed after the night of the revelry, and once again chose to conform to the crowd.
It wasn't until Fiama's asthma attack that the crowd realized the seriousness of the matter. Dai orders the others to find Lady G, who fumbles on the ground in a panic and finds the asthma pill bottle that Fiama is carrying close to her, and just as she is about to hand the bottle to Fiama, Lady G appears, and she asks Dai to go to the headmaster and say that she will take care of Fiama.
Fiama looked at Madam G with pleading eyes and said save me. Ms. G took her lovingly into her arms and said how much she loved her. However, Ms. G did not give Fiama the asthma bottle, but watched her die, leaving two lines of tears.
Ms. G was afraid that Fiama would tell the scandal of that night, and once it was revealed, the image she had painstakingly managed for many years would collapse, and there would not even be a final place to stand. Therefore, she chose to see death and not save, in order to maintain her false mask.
However, this scene was seen by her most loyal admirer, Dai, who was the only one who knew the truth. Faced with the death of a girl who once had a friendship with because of her own jealousy, Dai developed a strong sense of self-blame. At the same time, because she witnessed Ms. G's death and could not be saved, she understood the true face of Ms. G.
That night, all the students wept over their faults, and in any case, fiyama's death was an unshirkable responsibility. But what really made the tragedy happen was Ms. G., Dee, who led the students and accused her of her crimes, but the school preferred to calm down in order to preserve its reputation.
Many times, reputation is more important than truth.
In the face of Ms. G's hypocrisy and ugliness, the school is calm, and Dai chooses to leave the school and go to a brighter distance and future.
Perhaps, the ugliness of human nature is inevitable, and man's desires are all self-interested, which is an inevitable product of self-interested desires. It's like Dai, in order to be favored by Ms. G, she made a girl who was struggling. But when she saw how unbearable the ugliness was, she preferred to look into the light.
Ms. G's desires are twisted and full of malice. She never dared to leave school, but was full of legendary adventures. She will be flustered when she sees a man, but she can make the parents of the students fascinated. She always lied, but no one was more honest than she was. She never dared to break the rules, but she was so maverick.
She wants others to act as the submissive, obedient to her desires. Maybe her desire is to be a brave person, but she can only base her desires on lies. Ms. G's tragedy stems from her misinterpretation and desire to obscure her desires, while looking at everything around her with malice.
In fact, the world is full of malice. The malice of others to you, you to others, cannot be eliminated, and people are destined to live in malice everywhere all their lives.
But the world is also full of good intentions. Others to you, you to others, it is this kind of kindness that makes us work harder to live, so greedy for the world, and only then do we believe that there is a brighter shore in the distance.
