THE VIRGIN SUICIDES




This movie is one of the best movies I have ever seen. Mad props to Sofia Coppola who directed it. BEYOND AMAZING! If you haven't seen this movie, rent it, buy it, netflix it...just make sure that you get the chance to see it.
The movie is about the suicides of five sisters living in 1970s Grosse Point, Michigan. And I know what you thinking "Ohhh suicide! We can't watch a movie on that!!" But seriously this is a fascinating movie. The death of the five sisters shook the community they lived in to the core as a group of young boys try to find an explanation for their acts.
Here's a picture of the school heartthrob, Trip Fontaine (played by Josh Hartnett) on the top right. I think that every girl can relate to the having a crush on the school hottie, if you know what I mean. Then on top left, there's a picture of the four Lisbon sisters (played by Kirsten Dunst, A.J. Cook, Leslie Hayman and Chelsea Swain)
This movie is not only about suicide, but about freedom. Many teenagers like myself, want freedom. Freedom makes us feels independent as individuals and we can finally get away from parents. That's exactly what the Lisbon girls wanted. Freedom. But at what point will we get the chance to obtain freedom?
Pressure is another big factor. Pressure to find in and conforming to the norm. In the Virgin Suicides case, the pressure came in when Trip wanted to have sex with Lux Lisbon. But just because we are pressure to do something, doesn't mean it's the right thing to do. Stick out and be a individual. Be different and be bold. Don't be afraid to be yourself. Be unique. That's why I love fashion because it gives me a chance to be a individual. A cool and funky one.
But anyway, this movie is the best! GO SEE IT!
Later Fashionistas. and remember... do what you love and love what you do!
