watched the virgin suicides for the first time, like literally 5 minutes ago. i feel like i need to let the movie sink in for me to actually feel anything about it, but it just didn't... idk, i feel like it had a message, it definitely was saying something about girlhood and the abstractions placed upon girls from an early age as designated by their peers and the male-sex, but idk... i need to watch a video essay about it or something bc it's hitting me but idk what exactly it is hitting me with

#the virgin suicides #movie #idk i think im iffy abt it rn bc i get that its about how girlhood and how its viewed through the lens of vapidness and 'ditzy' thoughts #even when they are structured around a strict religious household #and that the boys who claimed to 'love' them were the only ones to ever get truly close to understanding them for who they were as people #and not just girls who felt one simple emotion at a time #but i feel like the girls got so completely lost in the background and the film focused solely on the boys and their feelings and all of th #which!! i get!! the point was that no one knew what was going on in those girls lives and the narrative is told through the pov of those bo #boys #but i still... idk it jsut didnt really sit right with me in the end- which maybe was the point #idk thats why im thinking i need to let this movie stew within me for the next few days so i can really process it
