The movie is not as bluffing as the title at all, the middle-class town in summer, the lens with a yellow halo, Dunst's sweet and empty eyes, the pure white pajamas with the taste of sunshine, five girls The silver bell-like laughter, the neighbor boy waiting again and again with longing on the green lawn, the whole film is unbelievably beautiful, showing the unique emptiness of adolescence everywhere, but this is a pure and beautiful emptiness, Everything is as light as a dream on a summer afternoon.
The suicide of the five girls is not a gripping and suspenseful event. It is just an end point that slowly slides from emptiness to an unbearable light. For these girls, life is as thin as a piece of paper, but they do not intend to I smeared something on it, just flipped it like this at random, and turned it to the back of the paper. This is another cruel youth, without rebellion, without resistance, only powerless emptiness.
I don’t know how to describe the feeling after watching this film. It’s a film about suicide, but it didn’t affect my mood at all. After watching the film, I took a shower and soon fell asleep. I think this is the director's skill. In the film, she did not criticize anyone, and Mrs. Lisbon was not too outrageous except for being a little harsh. Everything was scattered into the daily life of the small town composed of schools, classmates, neighbors, etc. Go, but it is these things that gather little by little into one thing that the fragile girl can't resist - loneliness. This is something that everyone is destined to be unable to escape in their entire life.
So, after watching this film, you won't be angry, you won't want to condemn anyone. These girls just made a choice, they chose to die, just like we chose to live
