In Reply to: More screen time for introspection would have posted by Bob W on March 20, 2001 at 07:39:17:
Not introspection, but explanation. And not explanation by way of answers, but by way of experience. The audience already knows the answers, but that the experience is not presented makes the movie much less than it could have been. That lack of presentation is also inconsistent, as the style of the movie had been a straightforward progression, up to the point where the audience has to make the leap from a depressed group of sisters to a mass suicide. There are dots to connect between those points, particularly regarding the sisters other than Dunst. My mind reels at the chilling possibilities of a scene depicting the sisters proposing a suicide pact, deciding on it, and planning it. Unfortunately, no such scene is provided.As I said, this movie could have been great, and it's obvious that Dunst could have carried it there by herself, if only she had been given the chance. Chalk one up to missed opportunities.
