Girl, Interrupted.

I finally got around to watching "Girl, Interrupted". I would really like to know what the hell happened to Angelina Jolie's acting (and Brittany Murphy's, too). This movie proves that she can act. She didn't win that Supporting Actress Oscar for nothing. The movie pretty much begins when she first appears in the asylum. The opening sequence is ( Read more... )

omg. i've just been thinking about this novel and the film, discussing it with my mother and writing about it, because the movie has a special meaning to me. i first watched it in a mental hospital...

I've always been interested in asylums, prisons, mentally ill people, lobotomy, etc., so whenever I get a change to watch a movie that explores all those things, I get extremely giddy and happy. A lot of my favourite movies ("One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest", "Frances", "The Hours" just to name a few) tell stories about mentally unstable people or take place in the aforementioned institutions.

well, mentally ill people are interested in themselves ;)
we weren't allowed to watch "One flew over the cuckoo's nest"; they even took away from me the book :|

What?! Why would they do that?! Tell me more about your stay at the hospital. Why did you go there in the first place?

Re: telepathy :) lafammenoir August 14 2006, 17:36:16 UTC

oh, it's a long story. i've been there several times actually. i can tell you about it, but lets wait with it until i'm away from home, ok?

Re: telepathy :) lafammenoir August 22 2006, 23:55:15 UTC

still curious?

Yup. Talk.

the short version is:
eating disorder [ at age 12 ] >> depression [ attempting suicide ] >> eating disorder >> borderline/manic depressive [ attempting suicide ] .

Re: telepathy :) streepaholic August 23 2006, 11:43:44 UTC

Well damn. Don't worry, though. It's bound to work out someday. I'm planning to commit suicide in 10 years or so. I've wanted to kill myself ever since I was 12, I just don't see the point of my being here, but it's either Meryl or Jessica or whoever else that's keeping me alive, dammit! >:[ But hey, we're here now, and that's all that matters, right? I guess? :P
