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.

    I've wasted a year in my life. And maybe everyone out there is a liar, the whole world is stupid and ignorant, but I'd rather be ifucking in it

    Healing department psychiatric hospital movie. The background of the great era in the late 1960s has been watered down. From the perspective of a middle-class rich and mentally ill young literary and artistic woman, she sincerely portrays a group of marginal aliens. But I feel that the healing system always means a certain kind of compromise. It seems that according to the main theme and values, the tension of literature and art lies in how to accept and survive in this abnormal world. Anyway, it's too ugly.

Girl, Interrupted quotes

  • 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?

    Polly: Nothing.

    Lisa: Well, why don't you go in your room and do nothin'.
