Heavenly Creatures (the movie)



A few months back I saw this movie on television.
I knew I had seen parts of it before, but now I got to see the whole movie.
This is a movie by New Zealand director Peter Jackson, and it's a true story.

It's based on the diary of Pauline Parker, who becomes best friends with Juliet Hulme.
These close friends have a great imagination.
They make-up a whole fantasy world and write books about it.
They quickly became obsessed with each other and their fantasy world.
When their parents decided to take the two girls away from each other, they make a plan to kill Pauline's mother, who they think is the one that stands in their way.

Heavenly creatures is a raw, but also dreamy, kind of movie.
It's real but also imaginary and it's a real drama.
You feel for Juliet and Pauline and want them to be able to be together, but you also realise that killing isn't going to help (but they don't).

Pictures of the real Pauline Parker and Juliet Hulme:

It is a pretty bizarre story and therefore also a pretty bizarre movie, but also really interesting!
I've always been interested in crime and murder.
Not in a way that I want to be a criminal and murder people, but in a way that I want to know what brings people to do this kind of things.
You know, the psychology behind it all.
That's why I'm so interested in things like psychology, criminology and forensic sciences.

If you are a movie enthusiastic, you should really see this movie since it's a classic.
It's pretty much a cult movie that you must see!

*After the killing (they are covered in blood)



And finally, the movie trailer :D :





I know this is a very long blog post, but it's worth the time (yours and mine).
It's a very interesting story and a great movie (that you definitely must see!).
