And Timberlake did a great job. He is definitely all grown up now. A strong supporting cast of Sharon Stone and Bruce Willis sure didn’t hurt. I loved how the cast worked so good together. They were very believable. The movie did a great job of showing us just how crazy and out of control a simple misunderstanding can get. Hopeful Hollywood does force Ben Foster down our throat! Small doses please! NOTE: Alpha Dog has a lot of language in it. DoryDarko: Going into this film, I had no idea what it was about, only that it was based on a true story. And the more I think about this fact, the truth behind it all, the more it saddens me. The story that unfolded before my eyes...

As Virgens Suicidas (1999)

The Virgin Suicides

Direção: Sofia Coppola; 

Roteiro: Sofia Coppola; baseada no romance homônimo de Jeffrey Eugenides;

Gênero: Drama; Romance;

País: EUA e Canadá.

O primeiro trabalho de Sofia Coppola à frente da direção de longas-metragens demonstra desde já que a diretora faz jus ao sobrenome herdado de seu pai, o brilhante Francis Ford Coppola. Baseado em um romance de 1993, escrito por Jeffrey Eugenides, As Virgens Suicidas é um filme inteligente, ousado e intrigante. Equilibrando determinação e lirismo, o enredo do filme aborda, de forma um tanto quanto crítica, o tema da depressão na adolescência e o relacionamento conflituoso - e abusivo - entre pais e filhas, sobretudo quando pesa nele o conservadorismo religioso. Problematizações pertinentes como questões socioambientais e de gênero também pairam no horizonte narrativo deste intrigante e misterioso drama romântico. Valendo-se da predominância de tons pastéis e de uma fotografia quase saturada, Sofia Coppola remonta, temporalmente e espacialmente, os anos 1970 numa pequena localidade no estado de Michigan. 

Narrado em primeira pessoa, o enredo do filme consiste numa recapitulação investigativa - em flashback - sobre eventos acontecidos 25 anos antes do tempo presente da narrativa. O narrador apresenta-se como um dos garotos que, 25 anos atrás, ficara obcecado com o suicídio de cinco irmãs que viviam na mesma vizinhança que ele. Cecilia (Hanna Hall), Lux (Kirsten Dunst), Bonnie (Chelse Swain), Mary (A.J. Cook) e Therese (Leslie Hayman) - as irmãs Lisbon - provocavam tanto o encantamento quanto a curiosidade em quem as conhece. Elas eram, ao mesmo tempo, belas e inacessíveis. A obsessão dos garotos da vizinhança pelas irmãs Lisbon aumentam drasticamente depois que Cecilia, a irmã mais nova, comete uma tentativa de suicídio. A busca por qualquer aproximação com as garotas é prontamente coibida pela rigorosidade de seus pais (James Woods e Kathleen Turner). E a partir daí, somos imersos num universo sufocante de fundamentalismo religioso, autoritarismo e castração: até que, uma após a outra, as cinco irmãs dão cabo à própria vida. 

Com relação aos aspectos técnicos, o filme é muito bem realizado: a fotografia e a coloração funcionam muito bem ao contextualizar o tempo e o espaço da narrativa (aspecto ressaltado também pela excelência da trilha sonora). Sofia Coppola, desde já, dá mostras da definição de um estilo cinematográfico idiossincrático. O elenco do filme apresenta um trabalho competente, com destaque para a atuação de Kirsten Dunst. Com relação aos elementos narrativos, no entanto, o filme comete alguns deslizes: por exemplo, o relacionamento entre Lux e o canalha ególatra Trip Fontaine (Josh Hartnett), decisivo para a resolução da garota em matar-se, é pouco explorado no filme. Como também soa desconectada da narrativa a cena da festa temática de confraternização, próxima do final: a metáfora da asfixia promovida naquela sociedade acaba sendo solapada pela significação literal. Mesmo assim, As Virgens Suicidas é um bom filme. 

⭐ 3.7 / 5.0

Screenplay by Sofia Coppola

Directed by Sofia Coppola

Cinematography by Edward Lachman 

I do not own any of the photos posted. 

SPOILERS AHEAD 

This film is not about who the Lisbon girls were. The film was about the perspective in which the teenage boys saw them. 

Sofia Coppola’s directorial debut The Virgin Suicides is a dreamy and whimsical perspective of teenage and religious escapism. The Virgin Suicides is narrated by an adult who speaks for the boys in a Michigan suburban neighborhood 25 years after the suicides of the Lisbon girls–Therese, Mary, Bonnie, Lux, and Cecelia. These boys, who remain anonymous throughout the film, are mesmerized by the Lisbon girls. 

Cecelia, the youngest of the girls, is the first to go. After attempting suicide by slitting her wrists in the bathtub and later succeeding by jumping from her second-story window onto a fence below, the Lisbon girls, as their parents notice, slowly began to fade. 

Lux is perhaps the most dazzling of the sisters, and also the most rebellious. When school begins, she begins a secret romance with school heartthrob Trip Fontaine, who negotiates with the strict Mr. and Mrs. Lisbon in order to take Lux and her sisters to the school homecoming dance. After Lux and Trip win homecoming king and queen, Trip convinces Lux to take a walk with him on the football field, where she ultimately ends up losing her virginity. Trip abandons Lux in her sleep thereafter, and they never speak again. She wakes up alone, in the middle of the school’s football field, breaking curfew. Trip, the adult narrator states, “I liked her a lot. But out there on the football field, it was different.” Trip ultimately decided to leave because the sex was not what he had imagined for both him and Lux. She wakes up the next morning to take a taxi home. 

After this, the girls are confined to the walls of their bedrooms by their parents. The boys watch them through a telescope, and communicate with them through morse code and later a telephone. There are many beautiful shots of the girls lying in their rooms, reading, talking, and communicating with the neighborhood boys. This is when the girls are no longer themselves, but instead what the boys view them as. These scenes are beautiful because the boys see their beauty, more than anything else. 

TW: suicide 

The boys later visit the house as directed by the girls through a letter, and speak to Lux. They are invited inside under the presumption that they are to help the girls’ escape and begin to start exploring out of curiosity. They stumble across Bonnie’s hanging body in the basement and begin to flee. The boys then encounter a dead Mary in the kitchen and realized that the girls had made a suicide pact. The girls’ death symbolized who they were. Bonnie had hanged herself, Mary had stuck her head in the gas oven, Therese had overdosed on sleeping pills, and Lux had died of carbon monoxide poisoning by sealing the garage shut and leaving the engine running. They each died in different ways, and by different attempts, but in the end, they all ended up in the same place. It shows that each of the girls was different, but ultimately, were viewed as the same by those who they encountered.

I think this film is remembered for its beauty rather than the actual story. The girls’ mother is a hysteric Catholic terrified of her daughters’ budding sexuality that she adds cloth to their homecoming dresses until they appear as “four identical sacks.” Their father has good means when it comes to the girls, but is ultimately useless for the girls’ wellbeing. However, I do not believe this is what drove the girls to their death.  

The boys never truly saw the girls for who they were. They never saw their pain and emotional torment from their isolated home life. The boys saw the Lisbon girls as unflawed and perfect creatures, which is what they’re depicted as in the film. 

Sofia Coppola is content with the means of mystery when it comes to her films. Because we have an unreliable narrator that tells the story of the Lisbon girls, we can never truly know why they committed suicide. The lack of explanation is the whole point of the story: the girls were never truly known for who they were, but instead what they were ultimately viewed as; perfection. 

The film is beautiful over everything else because the boys saw nothing but the Lisbon girls’ beauty. Even in Cecelia’s death and the remaining girls’ suicides, it was beautiful because that’s what the story truly is. The story is tedious and captivating, but not entirely real, just like the girl’s lives. 

This is not to say that the girls’ aren’t real nonetheless, they are instead a form of idealism that encaptured the boys around them. That’s why I believe the film is beautiful and encapsulating, not only because that’s what the Lisbon girls’ were viewed as, but even in death, that’s what they were. 

Overall rating: 8/10

Tart (2001)

Date watched:  18 January 2020

This is an early 2000s movie starring Dominique Swain, Brad Renfro (RIP), Mischa Barton, Lacey Chabert and Bijou Phillips.

Sidenote – I've always really liked Bijou Phillips. Please refer to the music video at the end.

Sidenote: I have that single.

Other sidenote: I just discovered she’s married to Danny Masterson and eeeeek

This movie is weird.  It's very grainy and the colouring is very dark.  I'm not sure why they've made that choice – it looks very gritty and these very pretty people don't look as pretty as they should. It's weird.

Plot:

So we're in New York at this exclusive school with a bunch of rich arseholes.

Kat (Dominique Swain) and Delilah (Bijou Phillips) are best friends.  Delilah is a bit of a wild child.  In our introduction to her, she gets her dog to go down on her.  This old lady was a bit taken aback, let me tell you.

Kat likes Brad Renfro, who is a fucking dick. She's kind of young and naïve and does not realise when she's being used, or who her true friends are. Delilah might be a bit mental but she's very much Team Kat.

Delilah gets expelled from their fancy school for something (I forget what), so Kat buddies up with Mischa Barton and her British accent, and this other chick who is a total bitch.  They shoplift and take drugs, they go to parties and generally act like privileged assholes.

One thing leads to another and Kat hooks up with Brad Renfro after "prom" (I think it was a prom of some description). She ends up taking drugs and getting drunk, and when Brad Renfro is awoken in the morning, he and another guy find her unresponsive in bed, and their answer is to carry her body to the trash chute and attempt to throw her down it – BUT thankfully she wakes up. And seems to have no idea what they were about to do to her.

It is reprehensible and a major red flag for Brad Renfro's character, let me tell you.

He then tells all of her "friends" that they had sex, she bled all over the bed and there was blood on the walls. A real prince, this guy.  He also tells them about her secret confession to him, that she's part Jewish, and this is grounds enough to shun her.

Like, the anti-Semitism came out of nowhere and took me very much by surprise.

Because nobody is talking to her and she's now a social pariah, she wants to reconcile with Delilah but Delilah is in the Hamptons with the rest of the rich crowd.  So Kat heads up there with Lacey Chabert's character, they make-up and fix their friendship and all is good between them.  Then Delilah heads off through the woods to find someone to give them a lift where she encounters Brad Renfro's character, they argue, he pushes her over and she hits her head on a rock, and when she tells him that she's going to call the police, he murders her.

And that’s the movie.

Honestly, I don't know what the point of this movie was, but I know Delilah didn't deserve to die and also, everyone is horrible and money makes people terrible.
