"Heavenly Creatures" is technically a "true crime" movie, since it is based on a real murder which, at one time, was the most infamous case of murder in New Zealand history, achieving world-wide notoriety in 1954 because the two murderers were teen aged girls and the victim was the mother of one of the murderers!. I was six years old in 1954, and when I learned that a film version had been made of the case I was very interested because I had remembered my parents discussing the newspaper stories about the case!. It took me several years to get a DVD copy of the film, which I think is a very unusual and very good movie!.

The director is Peter Jackson, who later directed the Lord of the Rings Trilogy and the 2005 remake of "King Kong!." Jackson is a native of New Zealand, and he did a great deal of research on the murder case, and obtained the diary that one of the girls had kept from a year before the murder up until she was arrested for the crime!. Some lines from the diary are used as voice-overs in the movie!.

Instead of just making a movie that recreated the crime and the sensational trial, Jackson hinged "Heaven Creatures" on the strong relationship between the two girls and, despite being essentially a "true story," and the movie contains some fantasy sequences which undoubtedly improved his chances of being selected to direct the three movies which comprise "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy!. The two girls more-or-less invented their own religion which is closely connected to the title "Heavenly Creatures," and the fantasy sequences illustrate "the Fourth World," the basis of the quasi-religion!. The fantasy sequences are probably one of the reasons your friend considers the movie "weird!."

"Heavenly Creatures" is a very well made film with a very dense structure; parts of the movie are charming and funny, parts are sad, and the murder scene is disturbing because by the time it happens, the audience has come to like the two schoolgirls, and the audience has come to care about the mother as well!. The movie is not an exploitation film, and those looking for a movie with elements of horror will be disappointed!. "Heavenly Creatures" is also not easy to digest in a single viewing and I recommend watching it more than once!. That is about all I'm going to say, except to give a spoiler warning; I've included a link to a Wikipedia article on the movie, and the article gives not only the entire plot of the movie, it also recounts many of the details of the murder case, as well as a capsule description of how the film project was researched and written, and sundry other details!. If you only want to know "a little bit about it," give careful consideration to the decision to read the article or not!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

Yes!. It is weird!.

"Pauline Parker and Juliet Hulme met in school during the 1950s!. Instant best friends, they proceeded to spend every minute possible together, often writing about a fantasy land of their own invention!. More and more estranged from their respective families, the two girls realise that they are extremely different from most other people, and agree to take any steps necessary to ensure that they are not seperated!. The two families are increasingly concerned about the girls' friendship in a strictly moralistic era!."

Peter Jackson directed it!. It's uh, worth a watch to say you saw it!. Too many pale people for me!.
