If you get used to the darkness, you will reject the light.

I haven't written anything in a long time. Because it's a little difficult for me to concentrate, I'm not very productive, and I get headaches for a long time.

Watching this movie, because the background is in a mental hospital, I unconsciously compared it as the female version of "Flying Over the Cuckoo's Nest".

One Flew Over the Cuckoo 's Nest (1975)
9.1
1975 / USA / Drama / Milos Foreman / Jack Nicholson Danny DeVito

Of course, the themes of the two films are completely different. "The Girl Who Moved Souls" isn't as big, and the narrative is looser. The metaphors and ironies are not as deep and forceful as One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.

To me, it's not the kind of movie that hits you hard with a stimulant. Still very gentle, perhaps "the growth diary of a girl in a mental hospital"?

Those who can find resonance may be people who have experienced extremely contradictory moments in life. Living in the gap between ideals and reality, rational thinking is profound, but it is very painful.

No matter how long you stay in the dark, I support and understand your resistance, but please remember to be gentle with yourself, and then learn to be gentle with the world.

The world and us are pitiful, but we must remember that we all have to live.

    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.
