The Virgin Suicides

[Apple]

One of my favorite movies. I am very drawn to the character of Cecilia because of her shyness. She seems lost in daydreams and I hate how she is gone so quickly in the book/movie. I also like Lux, the sister the movie focuses on most. I know it is fiction, but I am eternally fascinated with them and want to know their secrets. I wish I had a big group of sisters that knew everything about me.

This is one of my favorite movies also, and I keep meaning to read the book. How did the two compare?

Absolutely love this movie. Didn't realize it was based on a book, will have to read it now.

I adore this film, I could watch it over and over again. I still have to book around here somewhere I think its due for a re-read

Because I have the attention span of a 6 year old with ADD I never finished reading it. But from the first couple chapters the big differences were that in the movie the remaining 4 sisters die in the same night and in the book they commit suicide on by one.

I will finish it one day. If I can find it.

Lux (Kirsten Dunst) was absolutely gorgeous and thin. Seeing how she carries herself in the film is really fun and mostly inspiring. Such a flirty character!

I think in the movie they show her losing her virginity on a football field, whereas in the book it's unclear if she does.

The movie is visually stunning, but the book is just subtle, beautiful, and contemplative. It's a very open and wondering story...
One of my very favorites. Melancholic throughout many parts.

I embody a lot of the peculiar, dreamy, but sexually charged and awakened persona of Lux and was happy to find her in the novel...
All the sisters are beautifully painted, actually.

I never read the book. I think the movie is just a beautiful piece of film. Every scene has wonderful color and the characters are presented so well. I honestly need to watch the film again though. For me the movie was like a poem that gave me certain feelings and emotions but that I never dissected enough to find all the meanings. There's a general theme but I don't really know what I think of the ending yet.

I love this movie! It's so unique and different compared to other movies. I also loved Josh Hartnett in it.

I love Kirsten Dunst, I find her so gorgeous. And this movie is one of my favourites

I wouldn't want the movie to explain more, as it likely would have ruined it, but I still want to know!!
