Plot: Based on the true story of Juliet Hulme and Pauline
Parker, two close friends who share a love of fantasy
and literature, who conspire to kill Pauline's mother
when she tries to end the girls' intense and obsessive
relationship.
Heavenly Creatures is not your average film;
it's done with a technique that is not common
in the business, and therefore has been both
criticised and praised. The technique is used
by not just filming a story and it's actions,
but by actually showing the side of the girls'
vivid imaginations.
This was done through the elaborate sequences
of the girls' fantasies. This way of filming
shows how the pair justified the crime they
commit, a vital part of the story. The plot
itself does not trail far from the true story,
except for the fact of inferred lesbianism
between the two girls. (Something the
real-life Juliet Hulme has vehemently denied)
So it's anyone's guess as to whether or not
which possibility is the truth. Visually,
this movie is stunning. The landscape of
Christchurch and the surrounding area is
beautiful, and adds a sense of authenticity
to the film. The voice overs are extracts from
the real Pauline's diary, and explain very well
what exactly is going on inside of her head. All
in all, a very good portrayal by all of the actors
(obviously on the part of Melanie Lynskey and Kate Winslet)
and the music is exquisite.
Peter Jackson did make movies like Braindead,
the whole LOTR Trilogy and now King Kong, but
this is something quite different not similar
to anything else he had done (before and after),
an extraordinary movie with brilliant acting,
my favorite PJ movie, enjoy it! :)
