A project for English Class, based on the novel by Jeffrey Eugenides. We cut it down to 17 minutes and just four sisters. A few end their lives in different ways including Lux who dies by closing all windows in car, smoking a few cigarettes and suffocating from the smoke (I dont know if its even possible, but we didn't have a garage.) Just ignore the first 35 seconds of disclaimer, they were impossible to read even when the movie was presented on a regular TV.

Sep 21, 2008 - i don't see how you can say this is based on the book. i understand you had limitations, but the father was an important character, and in the book, mary doesn't die with the rest. you seem to have only imitated visually the scenes from the movie and lifted dialogue. the book had themes and plot variances not included in the movie you could have focused on, instead of summarizing the movie. a noble effort, but you should have actually read the book.
mlehew2 Says:
Sep 21, 2008 - the book was not about "hot people killing themselves over senseless bullshit." it was about sisters turning in despair to suicide, the only way they felt they could escape from a stifling & meaningless existence, where they were punished for simply living & growing up, to the point of complete exclusion and self-imposed ostracization from the rest of the world. they were more than lonely and alone, they were literally prisoners of a world that did not understand them & could not comfort them.

Oct 4, 2008 - HAHAHAHA!yeah i'm sorry but this was horrible, and yes i took in consideration it was a high school film. it still could've been written a lot better and more creative. that closing about the russian roulette was fucking dumb.lux i hope you have a better dye job now. i don't mean to be a bitch, but there's no other way i can sound.

Oct 6, 2008 - Don't listen to the haters. I thought this thing was pretty good. Nice work.
Naserrot Says:
Oct 6, 2008 - The only things that were weird were your use of a couple lines, mainly when the sisters said Cecilia was "the weird one" (they were affected by their sister's death) and when Lux says fat chance when he asks her out; she was saying it because it was unlikely she'd ever be allowed to, but the way it was said here made it sound like she was blowing him off because she wasn't interested.Aside from that, it was put together well with what you had and it turned out pretty good.

Nov 25, 2008 - It was good.I thought it was funny though that the narrator's voice sounded a bit like Ben Stiller's in Zoolander. Just his pronounciation.Great book though. So sad.
