Conspire with me to rebel against the world

If you don’t live by convention, you have to find another way. If you don’t believe in God, you have to make your own decisions. Unfortunately, most mortals have the courage and lack of wisdom. If they are not careful, they will go astray and become lunatics. It's easy to be a lunatic, as long as you can deceive yourself, and there are many lunatic people in the lunatic asylum, like you, who believe that the problem is the world and not themselves. They refuse to wake up, thinking that what they believe is the truth, The world is bad and they prefer what they imagine to be real, so they will rebel against the world with you.

That's why in "The Broken Girl", Susanna, who is not crazy, is like a duck to water in a lunatic asylum. It was 1967, and she had lost her purpose in life after graduating from high school. She was not as busy going to college as others, and she had only one vague ideal for the future: writing. She had an affair with her classmate's father, was passive and world-weary, never quit smoking, and always fantasized about her own death. After being rescued by drinking 50 aspirin with vodka, he was asked to go to a mental hospital to "take a break". Here she made many friends: Polly, who was disfigured by self-immolation when she was a child, Daisy, who was sexually abused by her biological father, Georgina, a liar who was obsessed with the fairy tale "The Wizard of Oz", and so on. Of course, the most important thing was the leader of this group of crazy girls. Sociopath Lisa. She's charismatic, wild, and the queen of lunatics. She became Susanna's best friend.

    The female patients' plays are amazing! Pain, numbness, arrogance, borderline, without exerting too much force at all, I feel that it is the most real expression of women's emotions. ps Winona is really a hundred trillion times better than Keira Knightley! Beautiful and smart!

    Mental ward is a place that holds ppl who pressed the button. So many ppl just waiting for someone to press their buttons. Still, get out. The plot is somewhat predictable. Moss is good! Although he is a small supporting role, he has his own characteristics, and there are also many iconic actions in MM. It is also a drama in the 1960s. It feels wonderful in comparison.

  • Lisa: [to Daisy] Help me understand, Dais 'cause, I thought you didn't do Valium. Tell me how this safety net is working for you. Tell me that you don't take that blade and drag it across your skin and pray for the courage to press down. Tell me how your *daddy* helps you cope with that. Illuminate me.

    Daisy: My father loves me.

    Lisa: I bet with every inch of his manhood.

  • Lisa: Hey Torch, what'a doin?
