What's behind the madness.

I sympathize with Lisa, and I like her very much. I want to know what her past was like. I think although we don’t know why we became like this and the manifestations of various mental disorders, the key to understanding the past lies in in their own hands.

Lisa is full of ill will, like an asteroid slamming into the earth without hesitation, trying to break everything, even if she hits her head and bleeds, even if her youth is passing, her face becomes old.

The most heart-pounding thing is Daisy. I don't know how to understand such a life. I guess she is also fragmented deep inside herself, unable to identify with herself, and living in the pain of sin every day. I really agree with Lisa's words: in fact, she has been in pain for a long time, just waiting for a proper reason to die, but she needs someone to push her when she is very weak.

Georgiana is a poor liar. Lies are like her beautiful clothes and beautiful dreams, just like she likes the fairy tales of the Wizard of Oz series. In fact, she herself knows very well that she is lying, but she needs it.

All lunatics have illusions against the real world to protect their fragile self from the cruelty of this world.

What is madness, are they really mad? What kind of persecution they were subjected to, and what kind of life forced them into such a situation.

How can we make them no longer alone dancing.

This film is more about a process, a sober process.

After waking up, the world is still the same ugly appearance.

Girl, Interrupted quotes

  • Lisa: So, have you had your first Melvin yet?

    Susanna: Who's that?

    Lisa: Bald guy with a little pecker and a fat wife. You're ther-rapist, sweet pea. Unless, ah... unless they're givin' you shocks. Or, God forbid lettin' you out. Then you get to see the great wonderful Dr. Dyke.

    Margie: She means Dr. Wick.

    Susanna: Oh, I've been in his office but I haven't met him yet.

    M.G.: He's a she. Dr. Wick's a girl.

    Lisa: That's right, M.G. Wick's a chick.

    M.G.: Wick's a chick.

    Lisa: Hence the nickname.

  • Georgina: Lisa, is Daisy really getting out?

    Lisa: Yeah, she coughed up a big one.

    Susanna: But how could - I mean she's... *insane*.

    Lisa: Yeah, well that's what ther-rape-me's all about. That's why fuckin' Freud's picture's on every shrink's wall. He created a fuckin' industry. You lie down, you confess your secrets and you're saved. Ca-ching! The more you confess, the more they think about settin' you free.

    Susanna: But what if you don't have a secret?

    Lisa: Then you're a lifer, like me.
