I believe that Lux is suffering from depression in this movie. I think this because her character is with several different boys and men throughout the film. She often brings her different lovers to her rooftop to be with them, in order to escape her over protective parents. One night in the movie, Lux failed to make curfew because she was spending the night with one of her lovers. This caused her parents to take all for sisters out of school and put their house on lock down. Then one night all four sisters commit suicide because they can not take being alone in their house anymore. The oldest sister, Terese, takes sleeping pills. The next oldest, Mary, sticks her head in the oven. Bonnie, the second youngest, hangs herself, and Lux sits in the garage with the door shut and the car running. According to craving attention from the opposite sex is a sign of depression. Also, talking about committing suicide, attempting to commit suicide, and, committing suicide are also very symptomatic of depressed people. One major thing that causes depression is the loss of a loved one. I think, in Lux's case, this is what caused her to be depressed because she mostly became depressed after her younger sister killed herself. I also think that the over protective behavior of her parents contributed to her depression. The fact that the four sisters were made to stay in their house all day everyday for weeks at a time is a contributing factor to Lux's depression. The parents were so rigid that the only time the girls were let out was to attend church services. In one scene of the movie Lux's mother forces her to burn all of her favorite music albums. I think that Lux was very depressed because her sister killed herself, and her parents made her life very hard so she tried to find comfort in many men but when this didn't work she decided to take her own life.
I think that The Virgin Suicides is a great movie. I liked this movie because it was very creative and entertaining. The story line is extremely original and all of the cast members are very talented and their different characters suite them well. This movie also has stunning cinematography and visual effects. The soundtrack to the film is also another thing that makes it good. I think that this movie depicts the life of teenage girls very well and it addresses many issues that young people are faced with today. I think that it also portrays how bad parenting can affect children's lives is a truthful way. The movie also does a good job of showing how unexpected suicide can be and how tragic its effects are.
To conclude I think that Lux's character in The virgin Suicides illustrates a depressed teenage girl. I think that it does an excellent job of entertaining and informing about teen suicide and depression. This movie is definitely a must see and is worth renting.
