Angel of Sin is a well-known lesbian film based on a real-life case in New Zealand in the 1950s, directed by The Lord of the Rings director Peter Jackson.
Both heroines were electrocuted for the first time, Kate Winslet, who was only 19 years old at the time, played a girl who indulged in her own fantasy world, and her friendship with another problem girl eventually led them to murder.
Its mature performance was surprising and received unanimous praise from critics.
The story takes place in New Zealand in the 1950s, and the protagonists are two adolescent schoolgirls, Bao Ling and Julie.
Bao Ling always seemed out of place with the classmates around her, and Julie had just transferred to this school, her father was a doctor and the president of the university, and she seemed to be generous, and the teacher was also a tout of Julie.
In the first class, Julie pointed out the mistake of the teacher's board book, which attracted Bao Ling's attention.
The next day, the students were all in physical education class, while Bao Ling and Julie sat on the side, Bao Ling because of the bone fragility caused by osteomyelitis when she was a child, Julie had lung disease, so the two did not participate in physical exercise.
After school, Bao Ling took the records of her favorite singers and passed by Julie's door, watching Julie playing the role of a princess and throwing flower petals on the bridge, Bao Ling was fascinated.
Later, Julie's naughty brother broke Baoling's records, and Julie was sorry for this and took out her collection of records to lose to Baoling.
Although the two girls come from different social classes, they also like literature and Mario Lanza's thick and charming singing voice, and the two become more and more familiar, laughing and playing under the posters of their favorite singers, and playing and chasing together in the sunset.
They frantically threw away their clothes and ran through the forest.....
When Tianbao Ling goes to Julie's house to play, the two put photos of their favorite stars on the candlestick one by one, fantasizing about their role in the story.
Bao Ling mentions that people go to heaven after death, while Julie says that she will go to the Fourth World. The Fourth World is a place of Julie's fantasies, filled with everything she loves.
Julie came to Baoling's house to visit, looking at Julie's graceful and luxurious appearance, Baoling's family was slightly cramped. Bao Ling felt a little inferior to her parents' vulgarity, and her face was obviously displeased, while Julie looked at Bao Ling with a comforting smile.
During the holidays, BaoLing and Julie's family traveled and felt a completely different way of life from their original family.
You can feel more happiness in Julie's home, and prefer to be close to Julie's parents than to parents who have no knowledge of themselves and make them feel inferior.
Julie's mother also likes Baoling and says she will take care of her like an adopted daughter.
Julie's father was going to an academic conference and the mother would go with her, and Julie had just transferred to the school, and her parents decided to leave her alone at the school.
Abandoned by her parents, Julie is very sad and enters the fourth world to seek comfort, under her leadership, Baoling also experienced the fourth world for the first time, and the two of them used their imaginations to escape the pain of reality.
The good times did not last long, and Julie's lung disease recurred, spitting blood in class.
Bao Ling is sad and wishes that she can also get sick to accompany Julie, and begs her mother to take care of Julie. The mother said that Julie was sick and that her parents would not leave her like this.
In fact, Julie's parents did not change their plans to go abroad, but left Julie alone in the hospital.
John, a student who lives in Baoling's house, came to Baoling's room one day under the pretext of borrowing books, saying that he was too cold and wanted to keep Baoling's bed warm, and Baoling, who was not engaged, agreed to John's request.
After the lights went out, John confessed affectionately to Baoling, who regarded John as a character in his fantasy novel and did not reject John.
At this time, BaoLing's father suddenly turned on the light and appeared in the doorway, John hid in the quilt and shivered, and Baoling did not think so.
Pauline's father asked John to go back to his room, and instead of accusing him, he accused Pauline of shamelessness.
The next day John moved out of Baoling's house, Baoling's mother did not understand the facts of the process has been accusing Baoling, Baoling can not help the exit bump, hurt the mother's sore spot, the mother with tears in her eyes shocked.
BaoLing and Julie's past relationship seems to be beyond friendship, all of which is seen by Julie's father.
He told Baoling's parents, reflected baoling's homosexual tendencies, and introduced them to a psychologist.
The doctor diagnosed Bao Ling as homosexual and suggested that the parents should strangle the relationship between the two in the cradle and not develop further.
The chances of meeting Julie are becoming less and less, and Baoling is extremely sad and even has suicidal tendencies.
Bao Ling's mother is very concerned about Bao Ling, but Bao Ling is not appreciative, only thinking of Julie, the relationship between the two is getting worse and worse, and there are often quarrels.
Bao Ling secretly went to see Julie, and Julie comforted Bao Ling, saying that everyone else was crazy and could not tolerate such a unique person as them.
At this time, Bao Ling and Julie had the idea of leaving together. Julie's mother cheated at this time, and her father was sent to work in the field, and the happy family was broken.
Julie did not want to stay in the United States with her cheating mother, and she was even more reluctant to leave Baoling for Britain. Her father arranged for Julie to go to South Africa to live alone.
Bao Ling wishfully believes that Julie's parents are willing to accept her, and asks her mother to let her follow Julie to South Africa.
Bao Ling's mother of course refused, trying to comfort Bao Ling but was pushed away by Bao Ling. Bao Ling's hatred for her mother is increasing day by day, which stimulates Bao Ling's killing intention for her mother in her heart.
Bao Ling became paranoid and gloomy, and she attributed all this misfortune to her mother's head, and she restrained her sad emotions and brewed a more detailed plan in her mind.
Julie's mother, for the sake of Julie's body, hopes that Baoling can go to the house for a few days to ease Julie's sadness.
Although Bao Ling's mother was very reluctant, she had to make a compromise for Bao Ling. Bao Ling came to Julie's house and told Julie about her plan to kill her mother, as long as she created an accident, it was not very sad that someone would die every day.
Looking at the calm Baoling Julie in front of her, she was deeply shocked and unconsciously left tears.
Bao Ling returned home and pretended to be well-behaved, but the hatred for her mother grew stronger in her heart, and she decided to use bricks to create an accident in the forest to kill her mother.
On the day the plan was implemented, the two girls calmly planned everything in Bao Ling's room. The table was still full of laughter and laughter, and after the meal, Bao Ling's mother was invited to go out with her.
The mother was also very happy to see Bao Ling's mood improve, dressed up very beautifully and went out together.
When she got out of the car, her mother wanted to have some afternoon tea first, and she looked at the last piece of cake on the plate with some hesitation, she was afraid of destroying her figure. Bao Ling looked at her mother as if she were looking at a dying person and persuaded her to eat this last piece of cake.
After afternoon tea, the three of them walked deep into the dense forest, and Julie dropped a gem to attract Baoling's mother to look down and pick it up.
Bao Ling slammed the brick wrapped in silk stockings behind her and slammed it into her mother's head, and despite her mother's bitter pleading, the two girls beat Bao Ling's mother to death.
After killing Bao Ling's mother, the two girls were not sentenced because they were both minors, but the law stipulated that they would not be allowed to see each other again in this life, and the day of goodbye was the time of arrest.
This ending is somewhat cruel and ironic, Bao Ling's motive for killing her mother is precisely to be with Julie, and as a result, they are thousands of miles apart in their lives and never see each other again.
The film portrays the personalities of the two girls very clearly, meticulously and fully.
Teenage Bao Ling and Julie have a close relationship, but their relationship seems to be more ambiguous than that of ordinary "girlfriends". It is difficult to determine whether the two were homosexual, or whether they rebelled against each other's worldly confinement in an era.
Although the film shows to a certain extent the two people's partial infatuation with each other, it can be attributed to their addiction to the fantasy world to the point of being unable to extricate themselves.
We can't guess the relationship between two strange girls in that distant country from decades ago, or what really happened between them.
After the film was released, the dusty archives were turned over, and the reporter rushed to dig up the news of the two girls with a sensitive professional sense of smell.
They found that Julie had become a best-selling british crime fiction writer, namely an anne perry, a New Zealand writer with millions of readers, who had published Goethe-style mystery novels such as The Executioner in Helen Park and The Vet's Law.
In 1994, British novelist Ann Perry spoke bluntly about events 40 years ago in an interview with Today's program.
It was only in 1997 that she finally found herself, running a school on a farm where children learn equestrianism and changed her name to Hilary Nathan, still single and a devout Catholic dedicated to helping children with disabilities.
When every adult looks back on his youth, he more or less has a rebellious psychology, making people pay a different price.
We may have resented our parental controls, secretly done things we thought were cool, hurt and been hurt. Even now I secretly think that if my daughter is the same as me in the future, I will definitely not be able to sleep all night, just like Baoling's mother.
Nowadays, people's views of homosexuality are becoming more and more tolerant, but the heavy topic of mother-killing is unavoidable, and the two girls in reality have not known whether they have sincere repentance in the decades of their lives. The blood and tears of youth have become memories that cannot be erased, and they have become a nightmare for a lifetime.
