The Virgin Suicides
Well I like Sofia Coppola's Lost in Translation. And I've recently been enjoying the album Moon Safari by Air. And I know a lot of people who seemed infatuated by this movie, but boy it seemed pretty mediocre to me.
I mean there were some enjoyable moments. And as I think I heard someone say, there is this interesting and indefinable mix of fantasy and reality. The ideal and the truth. Nothing seemed to rise up to really grab me though. And sadly it seemed like it wanted to.
I guess you know what the ending is going to be, but it still came upon me rather abruptly, in a way that I feel like I could have been affected differently otherwise.
Yeah the girls were pretty to look at, at least. Maybe that was part of the point.
