Task: Sentiment Analysis
Input (English): suicide is pointless , everyone should know that .
so what 's this movie like ?
you guessed it . .
. pointless .
the virgin suicides focuses on the lives of the five lisbon sisters , from the perspective of the teenage boys who are fascinated by them .
when the youngest lisbon sister commits suicide , it sets in motion a series of events that will change the lives of many people forever .
that 's what the press materials for the film probably say .
now here 's what i say : the virgin suicides is a huge waste of time . boring , arty , pretentious junk
that is about as entertaining as .
. .
well as committing suicide .
the movie lost me early on , immediately following the scene where the younger daughter jumps to her death from her bedroom window .
the girl 's father ( james woods ) holds her lifeless body in his arms as their horrified family looks on .
then , as the scene ends , the lawn sprinklers come on .
is that a joke ?
is that supposed to be amusing in some way ?
from then on , the movie failed to draw me back in .
performances are the only saving grace of the virgin suicides .
woods plays the only character who would actually interest me when he came onscreen , but the performance of kirsten dunst as the next youngest daughter lux is worth mentioning as well .
dunst has the potential to be a big star , if she chooses her projects well .
and while
this film is awful , she manages to come away from it virtually unscathed .
there are also a few cameos in the film here and there , which only frustrate the audience as they leave you wanting more . as a result , they all seem rather pointless
( although there 's a brief role given to michael pare from eddie and the cruisers which turns out to be his best role since . . . well since eddie and the cruisers ) . perhaps the virgin suicides would have worked had the story not been told from the point of view of people who had very little access to the main characters .
we never get any significant insight into the girls and why they might be feeling what they 're feeling .
all we really know is that mrs .
lisbon ( kathleen turner ) is strict and keeps them on a short leash .
what mother does n't ?
it 's certainly no reason to commit suicide .
with the godfather part iii , sofia coppola proved that she had no business being in front of the camera .
with the virgin suicides ,
she proves she has no business behind it either .
having family connections does n't entitle you to be allowed to make movies .
so attention film directors . .
. stop letting your daughters pout their way into the industry .
just because they share your dna does n't mean they share your talent .
