it didnt make any sense!! one minute shes dancing with Mathieu, who i thought she was in love with, and then she leaves him for this random guy that shows up. i watched it in french class and the whole classroom was just like WHAT THE HELL!?
please...help me understand the meaning of this ending...thanks.
P.S. why wouuld she leave mathieu? he was so cute and they were so in love!
Umm excuse me? You're crowding my aura.
I think, Vic leaves Mathieu because of the following reasons:
- Yes, Vic was in Love, but Mathieu was her first boyfriend. Maybe she hoped to get more from him (espacially in the flat at the beach!)
- Mathieu and Vic has been both kids at all. Within that age, boys and girls will fall in love very often.
- Maybe it has been a wink, that part 2 will follow with another love, with other and same conflicts ...

There are no particular reasons, it's just a message from the writer to say that at that age things are not that serious, even though they seem like it.
sharei agree with you guys!she was just 14 and every second you fall in love with another good-looking guy next door! hmm but its a pity that in the second part of the movie they didnt get together again.but however,today this movie is still one of the greatest teen-movies ever!!!!
share> it didnt make any sense!!
It made perfectly sense! Man turns around for a second, woman disappears (for somewhat longer). In the end we're talking about women, right? Don't try to understand them. It's just like that. If you grow up (> 25) you know what I mean ;) Philosophers have tried to understand this mystery "Woman" for 100'000 years... and they're still working on it!

p.s. Don't take this too seriously, okay?
"i watched it in french class and the whole classroom was just like WHAT THE HELL!? "
She will grow up to be a slut. End of story. What else is there to explain ?
Karnot, I think in the 60's during the flower power era the same stuff was going on in the US and nobody would have called a young woman who has more than 5 or 6 lovers a slut. Only in the prudish US can such a remark be expected :).
In Europe many people are more cosmopolitan and a woman is not defined/judged by the amount of her lovers, but if she's bright, intelligent, has a good heart, how she gets along with little kids etc...things that are a lot more important in the end than marrying a virgin. Don't you think? :)
No, Karnot was right. She was 13 years old and was telling her grandmother how she wanted to sleep with some guy whom she had just recently met.
shareKarnot and you are obviously very narrow-minded. She would never be called a slut in Europe.
I cannot believe how many prudish people are still around.
I' m sorry to disappoint you but I live in Europe and I' m European and she will be called a slut also here in Europe. It' s strange that Americans think that us Europeans are more liberal about sex than Americans because us European think that Americans are more liberal about sex than us Europeans and we also think that American women are much more promiscuous than European women.
shareWell, since the late 60's, entire 70's, 80's, 90's and up to 2002 Germans used to be more liberal. Obviously something must have changed over the past 12 years since I live in the US.
I still think Germans are a lot more liberal than most people in the US.
Otherwise there wouldn't be so many 13 or 14 year old American girls getting pregnant.
There is no Pro Familia over here. Too bad for those girls...
Once in Italy at a camping I witnessed as Netherlanders gave their 15 yo daughter condoms to go sleep with any guy she wished, to build her experience.
Now imagine that happening in the US, the parents and the guys would be thrown in jail on the spot !
Did you witness them giving her condoms, or did you witness them giving her condoms, patting her on the back, encouraging her to have sex with multiple partners, then her insisting that she was going steady with a boy with whom she had only gone to second base, then her parents commanding her to have multiple one night stands in order to build experience RIGHT NOW, young lady?
Wow. Typical. That's Netherlanders for you.
The ending shocked me as well. But it also makes the movie memorable; twists like this are part of the reason why La boum is a cut above the average teenage rom-com.
In other words, I think they chose this ending mainly for dramatic reasons.
In the real world, I would be kinda worried about Vic's mental stability if she's capaple of falling in and out of love so quickly.
