The film uses an old-fashioned boy's voice as the narration, and that voice calmly narrates these things, like memories of the past decades later, with no sense of shock in the tone. The whole thing is flat and straightforward, and the plain narration adds some anxiety. I still don’t know why the 13-year-old daughter wants to commit suicide, just like when the doctor told her: "My dear, what are you doing, you have not realized that life is short." And she replied: "Obviously, doctor, you are from I have never been a 13-year-old girl." As she said, what they have to experience as a little girl, they understand something. Those things are enough to make them give up their lives.
Yes, she didn't know that besides dying, we can still live and experience the dull pleasures of life.
But she didn't.
The whole story is like a mystery. Those lazy dialogues, everyone's indifferent attitude towards the surroundings at that age, the uncertain eyes on everything around them, and the attitude of doubts about all of them are frightening. . Yes, I am also going through everything. Maybe at that age we will always see through some things and realize the emptiness of life or other things. The most common attitude is to endure, make fun of everything, and then repeat them when we grow up. Things, maybe we know we will do this sooner or later. Therefore, youth is what makes people wonder and hesitate. Fill the emptiness of youth with overly anxious yearning for the opposite sex. Obviously the youngest daughter does not belong to this category. When she began to experience that innocence was tarnished, she chose to give up the life on earth, so she was an angel, an idealized figure. Lux has no doubts about everything around but to enjoy it to the full. She plays with all of this. She makes fun of all this with the seeming "slutty" behavior of outsiders. She doesn't think about anything like her little daughter. She has these doubts. It doesn't matter.
The dullness in the movie can be suffocating, as if all this is normal. Because the death of the youngest daughter triggered the deaths of the other four daughters, it seems to me that it has something to do with the attitude of the Lisbon family towards their daughters. After the death of the youngest daughter, the Lisbon couple began to lose their rationality. Lisbon even became a little nervous. He couldn't understand what was wrong with this peaceful life. He couldn't figure it out. Mrs. Lisbon’s reaction to these things became even more irrational, and this was even the lead that caused the other four girls to end their lives. She used a kind of power to place four girls in a closed room, as if she were in jail. Her irrationality eventually led to tragedy.
The four boys are always like four outsiders, but they always pity the girls. Maybe they are also undergoing the drastic changes brought about by youth, just like the drastic changes of girls. So they feel the same way, but they have a relatively peaceful family environment, so all this is very peaceful. After many years, these girls are not important to their lives. They are like ordinary and busy people, and they will pay face to face and carry masks. Although these girls passed away like summer flowers, they still miss them, they still call them outside the house, the house that has been cut off for that whole life. The girls are like their remembrance of youth, but all that is gone...
