A Beautiful Haunting Story Of Teenage Obsession
Lesbian murderers ? I’m sort of guessing that I might not like this movie very much . No doubt we’ll be seeing some polemical do gooder film maker with zero talent making a movie where anyone who gets murdered by the gay girls probably asked for it because they were a rabid homophobeThat was my abstract opinion of HEAVENLY CREATURES when it was released to some critical acclaim ten years ago , with much of the acclaim going to writer/director Peter Jackson whose previous gory horror comedies I’d enjoyed . Yeah the guy was talented I remember thinking , but in a liberal climate we’d no doubt be hearing a myriad of excuses via the film for the girls crime and it was this attitude that stopped me from watching the movie until it was broadcast on BBC 2 tonight
I was fooling myself if I thought Jackson was going to make a bad movie . This is another piece of heart melting , intelligent movie making from the Kiwi genius and I’m sorry for doubting Jackson for a moment . What Jackson has done has made a movie where it’s difficult to think of the two protagonists as ” lesbian lovers ” , Pauline Reiper and Juliet Hulme are two teenagers who love each other full stop and the screenplay doesn’t once make any excuses for anything that happens , we’re not supposed to feel disgusted by their relationship , we’re not supposed to feel that they are victims in any way and we’re not supposed to feel that a conservative , homophobic society is to blame for what happened . Jackson deserves much credit for making an amoral movie without an agenda , it’s up to the free thinking audience to make up their own minds on the case. Take for example the murder of Mrs Rieper who kindly takes the girls to a tea house then for a walk in the countryside . It’s difficult not to notice that if she’d been an uncaring cruel dragon with absolutely no conscience the girls wouldn’t have had an opportunity to murder the woman .
It’s also a movie that captures the spirit of being a teenager in love . When for whatever reason you have to say goodbye to your first love it’s the end of the world . You’ll do anything to stop it happening – ANYTHING – and you won’t forgive anyone who caused it to happen . Fantasy sequences similar to the ones shown here are also a staple diet of the teenage mind and if you disagree with me you’re either being dishonest or you’re under twelve years of age . Believe me this movie reminded me , perhaps a little too much , of my own teenage angst
Jackson also deserves credit for his casting Melanie Lynskey and ( A then totally unknown ) Kate Winslet as Pauline and Juliet . Neither of them can be described as strikingly attractive and you do have to worry who we would have got instead if this was a Hollywood production , but they play the star crossed lovers with absolute conviction , as indeed do the rest of the cast
HEAVENLY CREATURES is beautiful , haunting , thoughtful and incisive . With the exception of Martin Scorsese I rate Peter Jackson as the world’s greatest living film maker and HEAVENLY CREATURES is the first movie that showed the true greatness Jackson is capable of
One of Peter Jackson’s best films
Words cannot describe how good this film was. This is easily one of Peter Jackson’s best films, and I think his most emotional and in many ways. Heavenly Creatures is disturbing and shocking, but it is also very beautiful, haunting and quite thoughtful as well, as well as having a masterly mix of nostalgia, menace and innocence. It looks beautiful, with the cinematography simply stunning, and the score is both haunting and beautiful. The story is interesting and the dialogue makes you think and even more than that. Peter Jackson directs wonderfully, and boasts superb performances not only from Kate Winslet and especially Melanie Lynksey- who is mesmerising in the more controlled and I suppose meatier role- but also from Diana Kent, Clive Morrison and Sarah Peirse. Overall, brilliant and one of Jackson’s best. 10/10 Bethany Cox
