The film "Death of a Virgin" is Sofia Coppola's directorial debut. The whole film has a compact plot and reflects the problem of American family education. Coppola chose a mild way to express this social problem--- Girls Education. For girls' education, what parents fear most is that girls lose their chastity prematurely. In the eyes of parents, chastity is everything for girls.

The closest word to "virgin" is "angel". I saw a movie called "Fallen Angel" a few years ago. Why do angels fall? "Death of the Virgin" gives us a choice of two answers, one is because of the fall of men, and the other is because of the fall of family.

It is said that a woman's attitude towards life in life depends largely on the first man she dedicates her body to. If a woman is deceived by love too early, the consequences are very dire, but if she refuses love because she is afraid of being deceived too early, the consequences are even more dire, and the family is obviously the culprit of this result. In order to protect the girl's chastity, the parents said too many "no" and "should", which completely obliterated the necessary stage of a person's character formation. When one's desires are completely curbed, the meaning of life ceases to exist, followed by the courage to live.

"Death" is the ending of a family of four girls in the Mood for Love in "Death of the Virgin".

Once a woman is deceived by the man she loves when she is full of virginity, this kind of trauma will be painful for a lifetime, and then there will be two types of women, one who does not love anyone, and the other who is not loved by anyone. A woman can easily have sex with any man. The significance of this approach is self-deprecating on the one hand and revenge on the other.

Women are born for love and should die for love. This is the nature of women. When a woman is obliterated in childhood, her life will be transformed from angel to devil. The root cause of obliteration of this nature is "man's deceit" and "family bondage".

No matter from which point of view, this is a movie worth watching. In fact, all girls in the world are supposed to be angels. Angels are supposed to fly around. Flying around requires beautiful wings. When an angel's wings are broken It was a beautiful tragedy, although no one wanted to see it.

The Virgin Suicides quotes

  • Narrator: [Narration] In the end we had pieces of the puzzle, but no matter how we put them together, gaps remained. Oddly shaped emptiness mapped by what surrounded them, like countries we couldn't name. What lingered after them was not life, but the most trivial list of mundane facts. A clock ticking on the wall, a room dim at noon, the *outrageousness* of a human being thinking only of herself.

  • Narrator: We felt the imprisonment of being a girl.
