Why? :: Art

Why?After seeing the film The gross(a) Suicides, I found myself asking the question why. While talking to another(prenominal) students about the film again came the question, why? Why would these girls, with so very much to look forward to, commit suicide? This question, why is the central radix of the whole film. Hearing many opinions on the film, I asked myself, what was the approximately impress aspect of this film? Focusing on the subtly disturbing panache in which the film is told and again asking why. I came to the conclusion that the most disturbing part of this film isnt so much the girls committing suicide, provided the fact that we dont know why they do it. handle the boys across the street, we argon not content with what happens, we life cheated, like its all a horrible inside jocundity and we just dont get the punch line. The first date the boys go into the house, they look around as if they were in the house of a dead idol, like the smaller pieces of the girl s lives ar discharge to tell them something they havent yet considered. The way they steal Cecilias diary and try to imagine what the girls were thinking. The way they sit with the telescope pointed at the roof across the street, watching like confused children, which essentially is what they were. These are some of the more obvious voyeuristic scenes, but there are so many more. The film could almost be a beginners consider to stalking. All the boys were obsessed with the capital of Portugal girls. They wanted to know what they were doing, where they were, who they were, and most of all, why. The mavin time Lux let one of the boys get close copious to answer some of these questions, he momentarily looses interest and leaves her at the football game field. Which poses the question, were the boys fascinated with these girls because they were unique and interesting, or did they only want what they couldnt have, the command fruit. The bars of isolation put firmly into place by t he Lisbon mother is what creates this aura of mystery around these girls. Her strict enforcement of the conservative life style only adds fuel to the girls new found knowledgeable fire. Like the boys, the girls only want to discover the unknown. And for the Lisbons, the unknown is the inverse sex.
