Remember the big heroine Who charmed Little Plum Leonardo in "The Great Gatsby", Kerry Mulligan? She is not only outstanding in appearance and full of charm, but also highly recognized for her superb acting skills, and has been nominated for the 82nd Academy Award for Best Actress with "Growth Education".
Recently, she has brought a new work "Girl with a Bright Future", the story takes feminism as the core, the plot unfolds with revenge, and finally ends with a high-energy reversal, the ending is heartfelt, and the whole film is anti-routine and amazing.
Written and directed by Emerald Fennell and starring Carey Mulligan, Bo Bonham, Laverne Cox, And Clancy Brown, the story tells the story of the promising heroine Cathy's revenge.
Although this is a revenge film, if you want to see the same thrill as "Kill Bill", you may be disappointed, Cathy's revenge drama is different from the past, even if the final success of sanctioning the evil person, but in the end it is still a tragedy.
Cathy was originally a medical student with a bright future, but after her best friend committed suicide due to aggression, she was devastated and interrupted her studies.
However, she leaves school not to escape from reality, but to take a planned revenge, which leads to the scene at the beginning of the film.
Late at night in the bar, Cathy is very drunk and tincture, when a man comes forward to hook up, and the latter takes her home with kindness, but in fact has other intentions.
Just as the man reveals his true intentions, Cathy suddenly wakes up and yells at the man, What the hell are you doing?
If it is a general revenge film, seeing such a scene, presumably the next is the beginning of a killing, but "The Girl with a Bright Future" is completely out of thinking, And What Cathy wants is to tear off the mask of the hypocrite and make his dream instantly become a nightmare.
She also found the relevant people one by one, such as classmates, principals, and lawyers, and tried to make them feel condemned in conscience. However, these are the opening dishes, and the truly shocking plot and reversal is obviously the last minute.
This is indeed a revenge film, and it is a film that is completely open-minded and can punish sinners with all your life, but there is no word for happiness to describe throughout the film, more is sadness, helplessness, pity!
"Girl with a Bright Future" is an alternative female revenge, the plot ups and downs, the beginning thought to kill the ring, but in the middle part, it opened the healing plot, and the back part turned to add a thriller element, but unexpectedly, the ending was full of tears.
Kerry Muri has done a good job of playing the role, perfectly figuring out Cathy's fickleness, she has both a cute side and a nervous side; she has a gentle side and a fierce side, and the final technique does not have absolute awareness, and it is certainly impossible to do it.
"Girl with a Bright Future" was released in North America on December 25, 2020, in the general environment, the box office is not outstanding, but the word of mouth is still good, Douban has a maximum score of 8 points, and it is currently slightly declining. Perhaps the film's alternative doesn't cater to most people's tastes, but the film is appreciated for its creativity.
